		<description>&lt;p&gt;There is a dangerous new meme entering our insane national discourse:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Obama administration, because of its stand on settlements, is “anti-Israel”.  No matter that Obama has made his commitment crystal clear.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;CBS News last night broadcast some Israeli whackjob named Herbst saying that Obama is the first American President in “60 years” not to “support” them.  Actually, Papa Bush was pretty hard-nosed about settlements, too.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I see the signs on synagogues in my CT hometown with the message “Support Israel”.  i.e. “Oppose Obama”.  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The real problem here is Obama’s statement of non-belligerence towards the Muslims, and the paranoia and hysteria of some Jews.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I was wondering also…as you say, some over payment that SS will recoup if you had been working and exceeded the limits…and that discovery may be fairly delayed.   I hope someone will address, though he may have misperceived anything that happened.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;because they see it as inevitably ending in a single payer system. It appears that way to me too.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It appears that way to me three.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I’m gonna guess that at today’s town hall POTUS is gonna get flooded with pleas for single payer and/or public option questions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And they (Alexrod,Gibbs,etc.) &lt;em&gt;know&lt;/em&gt; this. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All part of the “make me do it” strategy, IMHO.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Re: yda’s awful event at the Holocaust Museum, I read somewhere that that kooks soc sec benefits were cut; I had no idea soc sec &lt;em&gt;ever&lt;/em&gt; cut benefits to someone that old other than for earning too much money. Anyone else aware of this possibility?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And no, that does not excuse his actions, I was just wondering.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

		<description>&lt;p&gt;I don’t know, it seems to me that the AMA, insurance companies, and Republicans are starting to go to the mattresses over a government option because they see it as inevitably ending in a single payer system.  It appears that way to me too.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
