Maybe Mrs. Obama can take her smoking, hamburger eating husband along on school visitations and have him explain why drinking chocolate milk is worse than smoking in the boys room.

ObamaCare in Jeopardy: Health Care Providers Say Key Component so Complex It’s Unworkable…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama’s main idea for getting quality health care at less cost was in jeopardy Wednesday after key medical providers called his administration’s initial blueprint so complex it’s unworkable.
Just over a month ago, the administration released long-awaited draft regulations for “accountable care organizations,” networks of doctors and hospitals that would collaborate to keep Medicare patients healthier and share in the savings with taxpayers. Obama’s health care overhaul law envisioned quickly setting up hundreds of such networks around the county to lead a bottom-up reform of America’s bloated health care system.
But in an unusual rebuke, an umbrella group representing premier organizations such as the Mayo Clinic wrote the administration Wednesday saying that more than 90 percent of its members would not participate, because the rules as written are so onerous it would be nearly impossible for them to succeed.
“It’s not just a simple tweak, it’s a significant change that needs to be made,” said Donald Fisher, president of the American Medical Group Association, which represents nearly 400 large medical groups around the country providing care for roughly 1 in 3 Americans. Its members, including the Cleveland Clinic, Intermountain Healthcare in Utah, and Geisinger Health System in Pennsylvania, had been seen as the vanguard for accountable care.

Re: Obamanomics
Christie is as extreme as Scott Walker, and look how well that's worked for him. He reminds me of a certain character in Austin Powers who wore a quasi-UPS uniform. "I'm gonna' eat ye".

Re: Obamanomics
Id love to see christie run. Obama would break his record for votes that he earned against McLame and his parrot.
In a recent poll, Christie loses to Obama with only 18% of the vote...
Sounds like your man right wing!
Peace.

Farmers Reduced by Obamunism to Using Oxen to Plow
Farmers Reduced by Obamunism to Using Oxen to Plow
When farmers Danielle and Matt Boerson realised they could no longer afford to run their tractors, they took the bull by the horns — and ditched them for oxen.
Soaring petrol prices had become so high that the couple, who run an 80-acre farm near Madison, Wisconsin, were forced to get rid of their two tractors, hay baler, plough and rotavator.
They learned how to plow with oxen from Dick Roosenberg, who developed the skill while working for the UN in West Africa. The idea was to help those Third World farmers who haven't been driven out of business by free food from do-gooders.

But his specialist knowledge is now enjoying a new wave of interest with farmers from Wisconsin to Alaska now joining his courses.
He is already teaching up to 20 farmers every weekend.
If only our return to 19th century technology were accompanied by a return to that era's respect for liberty and belief in Western Civilization. But we were on our way up then; as Barack Hussein Obama's election made clear, we're headed the other way now.
Re: Obamanomics
Somethings wrong with this story. Either they choose to do this or they have other mitigating factors or they are just bad business people. With farm subsidies where they are? Believe me, coming from someone living in the heart of farmland literally 5 minutes from John Deere headquarters, the vast majority of farmer are doing very, very well

Re: Obamanomics
I would be willing to bet that the ones doing very very well are farming a lot more than 80 acres of land. I do know here on the plains of west Texas 80 acres will not support a family of four.

Re: Obamanomics
Is it fair then to blame Obama, or is it the fact that the "family farm" has been going the way of the Model T for the past four decades? Truth be told, the farm bill has never been stronger for farmers than it is today.

Re: Obamanomics
I wasn't blaming 0bama. However, now that you mention it, he hasn't done a thing to curtail the price of fuel. Stopping offshore exploration dang sure didn't help.
Re: Obamanomics
Again on this topic. Nobody in government wants fuel prices to go down until it seriously threatens the economic recovery and at that point only want price to drop marginally. That's huge tax income when prices are up.

Re: Obamanomics
(TIME) — The kids are coming home to roost.
Surprise, surprise: Thanks to a high unemployment rate for new grads, many of those with diplomas fresh off the press are making a return to Mom and Dad’s place. In fact, according to a poll conducted by consulting firm Twentysomething Inc., some 85% of graduates will soon remember what Mom’s cooking tastes like.
Times are undeniably tough. Reports have placed the unemployment rate for the under-25 group as high as 54%. Many of these unemployed graduates are choosing to go into higher education in an attempt to wait out the job market, while others are going anywhere — and doing anything — for work. Meanwhile, moving back home helps with expenses and paying off student loans.
The outlook isn’t sunshine and roses: Rick Raymond, of the College Parents of America, notes, “Graduates are not the first to be hired when the job markets begins to improve. We’re seeing shocking numbers of people with undergraduates degrees who can’t get work.”
Guess moving back home isn’t limited to philosophy majors anymore.

Re: Obamanomics
And tying up loose ends, oil exploration isn't even an issue. Listening to the local conservative radio the other day (WOC, for any Reagan lovers out there) heard that there is absolutely no shortage whatsoever. All the reserves are full. Oil and gas companies have run out of places to store it and are selling it in Mexico for $2.50/gallon. Supply and demand my ass! This is speculation and exploitation economics.

Re: Obamanomics
No reason to doubt this. My question is, how much of that oil is from countries that would rather kill us than sell us oil?

Relatively little. Last report I heard was 12% from the Middle East as a whole. Most imported, as Klein likes to point out, is from north of the border.
