History is Rewritten at the W. Bush Library MAUREEN DOWD: BOTH OBAMA AND BUSH ARE RUNNING FROM THE BUSH PRESIDENCY By Ruth Brown, Newser Staff newser.com ( Have you been yet, Dave? With your ridiculous Bush-worship, it's got to be on your list! ) Posted May 26, 2013 2:22 PM CDT (NEWSER) – As Obama distances himself from the war on terror and the legacy of the W. Bush presidency, Maureen Dowd visits the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and finds that ... Bush is also trying to distance himself from the Bush presidency, she writes in the New York Times. Things you will see at the library: The Bush twins, Barney the dog, and a video of Saddam’s statue being pulled down—as narrated by Condi Rice. Things you won't see: That "Mission Accomplished" photo, Cheney and Rumsfeld, or bin Laden. "You could fill an entire other library with what's not in W.'s," she writes. And yet, for all Obama's efforts to make sure his presidency isn't forever associated with drones and terrorism, she notes, his administration was the one that brought down bin Laden and has killed more top al-Qaeda operatives than Bush's did. "Browsing the library, you wonder if these two presidents are complete opposites after all, as you see how history was shaped by an arrogant, press-averse, father-fixated, history-obsessed, strangely introverted chief executive." Read the full column at the New York Times.

"These premiums really underscore the big role that the tax subsidies play." No no no, dude...the rates BEFORE the subsidies range from +2% to -29%...don't do selective reading of the article. You all said that rates would skyrocket and posted articles that predicted massive increases, including the CBO's own prediction...all WRONG so far. Makes sense...when you pool people rates drop. every person in the nation who isn't disabled ought to pay for HIS OWN health care (and no one else's). That is NOT what was happening before Obamacare...every hospital was adding cost to insured patients to pay for the poor and uninsured...you were paying for them one way or another...which is why the conservative heritage foundation and gingrich supported insurance for everyone...before obama did, and then they didn't. That California has come up with a plan that buys insurance for people at my expense is not an accomplishment, IMO. That is not California....that's ACA. Al
