According to the NY Times Obama says that:
Single-payer is the only practical way to have something that works. After much outcry, I’ve reluctantly come to the view that it’s the only alternative.
How is it that nobody caught this in today's headlines? Not only that, but there were a lot of BOLD actions that Obama decided to take part in. How could my fellow Kossacks let these news stories slip?
During his trip overseas trip today, he mentioned to a CNN reporter that one of his next major departures from the Bush Administration will be the signing of a UN Treaty that will officially ban the use of cluster bombs.
Cluster bombs and landmines are particularly terrifying weapons that wreak havoc on communities trying to recover from war. They are fatal impediments to reconstruction and rehabilitation of agricultural land; they destroy valuable livestock; they disable otherwise productive members of society; they maim or kill children trying to salvage them for scrap metal. They are also against our national interests.
Even though President Obama voted against Cluster bombs while in the Senate, this is his first time going public about his feelings on this issue.
Perhaps one of the most surprising new sweeping policy changes is his new plan to NATIONALIZE the banks! Obama stated that:
Today the problem is to keep the government from simply using the taxpayers' money to save the banks and sending them back on their merry way. We have to be part of the struggle to make sure that that doesn't happen. The top 5 largest financial firms will become nationalized in the near future.
None of these stories actually happened. That task should be left up to you to "Make it Happen." April fools.
