The White House got really defensive when someone posted the Presidents own words, so they created a counter ad. They were upset and needed to take it out on someone. Unfortunately, the defense is kinda silly considering there is video and audio of Barack Obama saying exactly what was claimed. He wants a single payer system. Clear as day. Yet, the White House claims the words were cherry picked and taken out of context. That's a funny complaint coming from someone on the left, who only seem to get their news from left wing bloggers who do just that for a living. Glenn reacts to the awful defense by the White House and talks about how the media is misinforming on the 'right wing extremist' healthcare protesters. ( Transcript, Insider Audio)

Cash for Clunkers still stinks
What most people would consider to be a failed business model, the government touts as a success. Even though it ran out of money in just a few days, politicians eager to score cheap political votes sought to dump another $2 billion into Cash for Clunkers. Ok, so without the calculator out -- if $1 billion lasted just a few days, $2 billion would probably only last a few more than a few days. Don't think that one out! It's popular, you know, and politicians can't let a popular government program die! ( WATCH)
