Before most bills passed, we know, there has been a major homework done by the lobbyists, representing the interest groups that engaged themi, n favour of the bill, or to kill it, and for that purpose to serve, they reportedly pay lawmakers handsomely. But I'm wondering why the story writer commented "It helps explain how President Barrack Obama has become GE's customer in chief." The story may not be factual or even maybe biased

Really a good piece, and timely. Psychological stress a soldier face when they fought an unclear foreign war is well depicted by this story. It's really enterprising, in-depth, and shows context.

When Soldiers Snap

It's a research work, and we're eager to look forward to know waht 'tempts' us. I've some exposure of Sigmund Frued's insights why we like to be 'bad' but come out as 'good' later because we live in 'society.' Anyway I like the piece, good reporting.

The New Science of Temptation

Well, it's a good piece, and timely. Though most voters in both states said in exit polls the election was not a referendum on the Democratic president, the result will certainly send a caution to moderate Democrats nationwide concerned about their reelection chances next year. That could deal a blow to Mr. Obama’s ambitious agenda, foremost healthcare reform and energy legislation, amid continuing high unemployment. The bright spot for Democrats, the party’s candidate won the ... More »
The analysis presented in this report is qualified as per the premise. But when most of the bailout money gone to big businesses, it worked poorly on creating jobs, and homeowners. After all, Wall Street Journal has a stake in finding weaknesses what the White House is doing, and they've smartly succeeded.
I like this editorial of LATimes because they've recommended what is best possible for America to pick up. There's many places and projects to do business with, and USA should leave to think that wars are their best businesses.

Afghanistan: Now what?

A real good piece Afghanistan from Ray McGovern. The title of his OpEd suggested he is well-read, insightful, and enterprising. I like the way he interpret things, and presented the facts backed by direct quotes and interviews. He presented a global picture. I've no more words to praise him. Well done Mr McGovern.

Kipling Haunts Obama's Afghan War

The Senate Finance bill is a dream comes true of the health insurance industry. If there is no ‘public option,’ then nothing is going to change. The choice of a public health insurance option is the only way to keep insurance companies honest. Or, certainly the premiums go up as cited by the report. I like this report.
I like Michael Tomasky's optimism that Us healthcare reform will pass. But with what? He failed to inform us that the Baucus bill is the only one of five House and HELP (Harkin) bills that doesn't have the Public Option, and failed to inform the reader that Senator Snowe maybe a 'buy-in,' and sided with the Democrats on the committee to make the bill look like a bipartisan bill.

Healthcare one step closer

Really a balanced piece from Jonathan Cohn as he hinted 10 things worth fighting for. The report hinted that the vote on the measure, which does not include a public option to hold insurance companies to account, is to be fixed, apart from others, and also hinted that the HELP committee chair Senator Harpin's proposals to be tyaken into accout seriously.

The Top Ten Things Worth Fighting For
See All NT Reviews » NT Rating: 3.6
The report is detailed about quoting what the Senators said during their votes. This report also indicate that it was an Obama victory
The report focuses much on the Rep Sen OJ Snowe, which focuses backdoor parley for the bill to pass. I like it. The report is clearly indicative.
I like the detailed report. It is well-sourced, filed by two well known journalists, and backed by an expert.
It is one real good piece on the healthcare battle, and how proactive President Obama is to lobby for himself while thousands of the paid ones working to kill the public option. It is a running commentary on what Obama is doing to get the healthcare bill right
The story informs us what is going to happen in the Senate regarding the Universal Healthcare Plan, and give us hints that there maybe some sorts of public option in the bill passed , at last. Good journalism, I must say.
Yes, because this story is as informative as it could be, and a match is hardly found anywhere. I thank Mr Ritter for the story, and The Guardian for publishing it
