What's up with Politico?

First the called Obama a miserable failure and now they have apparently discovered this website called YouTube;
Its one of the most persistent  and potent  Republican arguments against health reform: that President Barack Obama and fellow Democrats want a U.S. government takeover of health care.

And what evidence do they have to back it up?

Obama said so. Just check out YouTube.

I happen to be a proponent of a single-payer, universal health care plan, then-U.S. Senate candidate Obama said at an AFL-CIO event in 2003, using the terms that commonly refer to a government-run health insurance system.

Everybody in, nobody out, a single-payer health care plan, universal health care plan  thats what Id like to see, he said. But as all of you know, we may not get there immediately, because first weve got to take back the White House. And we got to take back the Senate, and we got to take back the House.

...

[C]ritics of Obama-style reform have been able to exploit the mixed messages to sow doubts about Obamas true intent in pushing a trillion-dollar overhaul of the health care system  with powerful evidence, captured on videotape, to back up their claims.

...

You dont have to go back to 2003 to find leading Democrats supporting a so-called single-payer health system. The most damaging examples are from this year.

Obama spokesperson confirms NY Post article

Well, it sure sounds like she did ; In the New York Post, conservative Iranian-born columnist Amir Taheri quoted Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari as saying the Democrat made the demand when he visited Baghdad in July, while publicly demanding an early withdrawal. “He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington,” Zebari said in an interview, according to Taheri. “However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open,” Zebari reportedly said. … Obama’s national security spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said Taheri’s article bore “as much resemblance to the truth as a McCain campaign commercial.” In fact, Obama had told the Iraqis that they should not rush through a “Strategic Framework Agreement” governing the future of US forces until after President George W. Bush leaves office, she said...

What a load of crap!

Ok...for starters its called wolf control . The killing of wolves either via the air or the more traditional ways saves moose and caribou which is the intent. And also Alaskans rely on deer, moose, caribou and other wildlife for food . These dumb asses would rather have you believe that Palin is hanging out the side of the helicopter screaming in hysterical joy while she slaughters these poor defenseless wolves. And isn't that really the point anyway.
