Yes, you are right. What we need is more government control to squander money and jack up taxes and health care costs while spreading heathcare too thin. The illegals and the lazy thank you.

Comment on Obama tells Ohio crowd why we need health insurance reform now by Mary Vanac

Yes, I was at the Strongsville, Ohio, speech that President Obama gave on Monday. I didn’t count the people who attended the speech, but they filled the gymnasium of the Ehrnfelt Recreation & Senior Center. As I wrote in my story, a couple dozen protesters were waving signs on Royalton Road outside the senior center when I arrived three hours early. Other media reported “hundreds” of protesters eventually lining up on the road. I did NOT witness this. Yes, an old man on the main floor collapsed. President Obama said he fainted. Yes, I witnessed the man being carried out, followed by a woman about his age, presumably his wife. I have NO evidence that the man was a protester or that he was “removed.”

Were you at the Strongville rally? If so what were the number of attendees? Did you say ‘dozens’ of protesters? Inside or outside of the building? Did you witness the guards/police removing the man you report as fainting? In truth wasn’t the man a protester and physically removed by the President’s security men? I’ll tell you what, when you give only half the facts, your reporting becomes very disturbing.

According to National Review Online’s correspondent, there were just a few hundred people at the rally. Does this correspond with what you witnessed. I noticed you are silent on the size of the crowd. Your report is, however, the first one I’ve seen that includes someone actually fainting. Ah, to remember the good old days for the Obama campaign ….

The market for this product is huge. Imagine having your hearing restored after years of not having it and being that the device is invisible, adds to to benefit. Priceless!

Good advice. We often advise our students to take a step back and understand what they are getting into. This article reinforces that concept with some practical advice.

Comment on University of Minnesota is open for business. Are there customers? by Citizen

If it is such a sketchy climate, why risk it? It sounds like there is more value (and the promise of real returns) in licensing rather than new ventures…
