Let me start by saying I am employed and pay for health insurance through my employer, so I don't need to enroll in the exchanges. However, I am in I.T., and I wanted to see how healthcare.gov worked. I tried to use the site on the first day, and I couldn't. It did not work. Now it does. So, I signed up and took some screen shots of my journey...

The President attended the National Prayer Breakfast this morning and said ...

"You can question my policies without questioning my faith -- or for that matter, my citizenship," he said, a reference to persistent conspiracy theories about his national origins.

"We may disagree about the best way to reform our health care system, but surely we can agree that no one ought to go broke when they get sick," Obama said. "We may disagree about gay marriage, but surely we can agree that it's unconscionable to target gays and lesbians for who they are."

Speaking directly on the subject of prayer, Obama said it can "touch our hearts with humility." Fusing that topic with his broader theme of civility, he quoted Martin Luther King Jr. -- "Love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend" -- and Abraham Lincoln: "We are not enemies, but friends. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection."

I love it. Below is the video of the speech and the transcript.

What does Joe Wilson, Louie Gohmert, Mark Kirk, John Shimkus, Michele Bachmann, Steve King, Lynn Jenkins, and a few others have in common. Well, they are all ~~asses~~... Republicans in Congress. (Why do people vote for these idiots?)

Anyway, the video by wakeupnow is good. Watch...

I thought I would put up a dairy so we could comment on the HBO documentary by Alexandra Pelosi (Nancy Pelosi's daughter) RIGHT AMERICA: FEELING WRONGED. I do not want to watch this by myself! Oh the horror... Actually, I don't know if it's going to be horrible, but it might prove to be disturbing.

Here is the synopsis of the documentary from the HBO website:

Rick Warren giving the invocation at the Inauguration has caused quite a stir, but I thought this story deserved a little attention too.

The Rt. Rev. V. Gene Robinson of New Hampshire, who became the Episcopal Church’s first openly gay bishop in 2003 and last year entered into a civil union with his gay partner, will deliver the invocation for Sunday’s kickoff inaugural event on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, with President-elect Obama in attendance. The event is free and open to the public. An Obama source: "Robinson was in the plans before the complaints about Rick Warren. Many skeptics will read this as a direct reaction to the Warren criticism – but it’s just not so." Robinson has been referred to as "the most controversial Christian in the world." http://www.politico.com/...

I'm not an authority on the Iraq war or the Surge, but I know a great argument when I hear it. VoteVets.org founder and chairman, Jon Soltz was on Hardball yesterday, and he unequivocally stated the Surge failed..

This article is posted on TPM, and I wanted to post it here because of what Hillary says.

"I just want to underscore my gratitude," she concluded. "This is bigger than me...it's about standing firm [behind] the values we share."

This last quote bothers me. I understand wanting to win the Democratic Nomination, but exactly what values will be lost if Obama is the nominee? Furthermore "bigger than me" what movement does she represent?

I attended the rally in Philadelphia, and let me just say, it was a great experience. What happened after the rally was even more spectacular. A spontaneous march from 5th and Market to City Hall. That's about 7 to 8 blocks of chanting "Yes We Can" and "Obama" from a very diverse group of people, who hadn't planned on marching and who weren't even asked to march , it just happened. This type of enthusiasm can not be bought or manufactured, it can only be inspired. I wanted people to experience this night, so I have compiled as many videos as I could fine on Youtube. The people who captured some of these moments did a great job. Enjoy :-)

Joe Scarborough of "Morning Joe" was handed his ass by Rachel Maddow on David Gregory's show "Race to the White House". Joe, the guy who has been putting Barack down for his effte bowling skills, couldn't handle an intelligent debate with Rachel and walked off the panel - HA!

I don't care that Hillary only wears pantsuits, I think she dresses fine. But why does she choose to wear the color yellow? Well here are some interesting facts about this color:
