President Obama is campaigning on pushing for the Buffett Rule today (My mistake: the Buffett Rule speech is not a campaign event).
Will health reform increase or decrease the deficit? Depends on which report you read.
The anatomy of a false political story gone viral.
The push to register Christians to vote in Florida.
The federal government will propose new mortgage rules today.
Wealth counseling for the super-rich but sad.
I need this.

So, the Republican run states have taken their stimulus packages, given to them inadvertently by taxpayers, and given the money to Karl Rove. But, now he is unable to pay these states back their money. In Arizona, our officials are renting the Governors Mansion. So, Jan Brewer is waiting for her pay back from Karl Rove so I suppose we now know where the Super-Pac is getting their money from the stimulus packages that were intended to help The American People out. Seriously, The Muppets have just about had it. In Michigan they decided to sell certain city's assets to help pay for their rental property. I wonder when the big PayDay is? So, the "Panic in Detroit" is actually all about money which is running out. Now, Karl has other plans for this money "Smear Campaign Ads" which noone will watch because The American People have decided to boycott them. Man, this Country is going to need some serious therapy.So, instead of asking the 1% to pay their fair share or the Buffet Rule Republicans have decided to starve their States Budgets and donate their money to Karl Rove. Maybe he's the anti-christ. David Bowie saw this one coming. There also was a technique used by the Irish in order to surive against the war being waged against them. So, should we assume that Karl Rove is the Brains of the operation.
What technique?
They used music as a way to alert the neighboring cities of impending enemies. There were hidden messages in their songs via the Irish music which is still heard all over the world.
Hey Rachel,
Thanks for covering the story on the interruption of Democracy going on in Michigan! Great job!!
For those who want to start the day on a happy note, how about some cute puppies:

Poor Nikki Haley,someone tweeted false information about her and it went viral.Poor Nikki, someone may even ask to see her birth certificate.Maybe she can ask President Obama what to do.He has plenty of experience handling the lies being told about him by her republican friends.
Isn't there a song about Nikki performed by Prince, that used to be his name.
About the voter registration drive in Florida: Won't that run headlong into their new restrictions? And if it does, could you have a reporter there to cover the fun?
That is exactly what I was thinking when I read that article. I was lead to believe trying to register voters was so dangerous even League of Women Voters abandoned the state. But it's just fine for the Xtian Reich? Why am I not surprised? There isn't a recent voter related law out there that isn't designed specifically to repress the vote of everybody but the GOP.
Sometimes the really important things are the geekiest...

You go Rachel! Give them hell! Keep on reporting on Michigan, obviously the speaker doesn't like the spotlight on him.
I am 67 years old and when I was young, "the job creators" meant something completely different than today. We called it "Mom and Pop" shops. Isn't that what the general population considers "small business owners" versus the privately-owned multi-million dollar companies that the Republicans now refer to as "the job creators"?
It was reported this morning that the Buffet rule will only generate $47 billion dollars in the next decade and is not enough to fill the $15 trillion dollar hole. So I guess it's time to create another couple of wars, maybe that will speed up the progress, how about Iran and North Korea? Oh, I forgot that's already being worked on by the republicans.
How about you do some research on what the jobs numbers could look like. I did a very short search for 4th quarter profits for some large companies, and found that if these 5 companies hired people just using 4th quarter profits, they alone could have added over 500k jobs this year.
Pay the employees a bit over $40k, which is a doable living wage for an individual. With payroll taxes and benefits, I'm assuming cost per employee would be about $60k.
exxon 154,167
GE 62,167
Google 176,333
Apple 110,333
Target 17,333
Imagine the number of jobs that could have been created when you start looking at the Q4 profits of other large firms. Give people jobs and get them off welfare and unemployment insurance. Stop giving them government assisstance and have them start paying taxes. Get us back on track for a real economic recovery.
I think the investors can stand to not get their cents per share reinvested and instead invest in Americans.
