“Most trusted” no longer.

Mike Stark has been up on the Hill all week whipping Democrats to hold fast on the public plan, and in his spare time, he decided to ask Republicans if Barack Obama was born in the United States. Not only do they not want to answer — they run.

He asks Republicans Tom Price, Thaddeus McCotter, Jeff Fortenberry, Charles Bustay, Aaron Schock, Greg Harper, Mike Coffman and others what they think.

Another great video from Mike Stark, this time he catches up with Representative Zack Space (OH-18) who was full of excuses for why he didn’t have time to tell the public where he stands on health care. Oh, and Rep. Space would like us all to know he’s “very busy.” Let’s make sure Rep. Space and his staff have a busy week: (202) 225-6265

From the WSJ this morning: The Blue Dogs’ clout arises from simple math — they account for 52 seats in the House, enough to topple any law in cooperation with Republicans — and some irony. Hungry to retake Congress, Democrats actively recruited moderate candidates in conservative districts. The strategy was strikingly successful in recapturing the majority.

Everything that happened in the health reform effort last week was expected. Senate Finance continued to stall, the Blue Dogs continued their extortion, and the media can’t figure out who the good guys are. Welcome to health care reform.

Scott Roeder, who shot Dr. George Tiller, links himself to Operation Rescue in a jailhouse interview. Color me shocked:

In a phone interview Friday, Roeder said he was upset at the president of Operation Rescue, Troy Newman, who had condemned the killing and said his organization had nothing to do with Roeder.

• Luckily, the Democrats control Congress.
• Thanks, Blue Dogs!
• What they want.
• How dare we make policy without Israel’s approval.
• Who’s less popular? Ahnold vs. Mitch.
• The Quitter, still against apologizing.
• It’s just too easy.
