Jim Cramer takes Obama to task.  Says he sounds like a Vladimir Ilyich Lenin:

“Let me tell you something, we heard Lenin. There was a little snippet last week that was, ‘Now is not the time for profits.’ Look – in Lenin’s book, ‘What Is to Be Done?’ is simple text of what I always though was for the communists, it was remarkable to hear very similar language from ‘What Is to Be Done?’ which is we have no place for profits.”

He concluded by saying, “Socialism would be a real step up from what we are hearing [from Obama].”

Obama reverses Bush’s pro-life Mexico City Policy on abortions.  Now the USA is in the business of funding abortions worldwide.  Yes, Obama has once again proven why he was the most liberal abortion supporter in the US Senate.

White House Memorandum (and statement released afterward) overturning Bush’s ban on abortion funding.

The Hill reports that House committee “chairmen [are] fighting mad over snubs by Pelosi.”  Continuring:

As congressional Democrats take the lead in responding to the sinking economy, subcommittee and even some full-committee chairmen — who normally wield significant influence in writing legislation — have been forced to wait on the sidelines as monumental bills are written in Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s (D-Calif.) office.

That often leaves room for cursory input from lawmakers who have carved out expert niches for themselves.

Many of these members are complaining louder and more often to Democratic leaders that a return to regular order, where bills are written in committee, is long overdue. And some warn that if the closed-door, truncated legislative process doesn’t end with the economic recovery bill, frustration could boil over, perhaps onto the floor.
