The Steve Israel Memorial Post

++Steve Israel has to go done in history as the most amazing Democratic leader. He treated us with e-mails that "we are doomed" throughout the mid-term elections. Somehow campaigning either against or in distance from Barack Obama's achievements seemed to make sense for the Democratic Party. No one can tell why at this stage. We look at the prospects of true awfulness next year.

++But first, the CNN/ORC poll shows that 63% President Obama's policy of normalizing relations with Cuba. But 81% of Americans still hate Fidel Castro.

++2 million and climbing have enrolled in Obamacare this year. It is ahead of predictions.

++Consumer confidence is the highest in 10 years.

++The FDA has approved letting gays donate blood.

++The Supreme Court will hear the case for same sex marriage on January 9th.

++President Obama announces that he will nominate Sally Yates as Deputy Attorney-General. Ms. Yates is an old colleague of Eric Holder so expect fireworks in the nomination hearings.

++On the news of the biggest economic expansion in years, neither John Boehner nor Mitch McConnell or for that matter Rinse Penis released a press release, even condemning the news. It's crickets.

++Rep. Issa released his much anticipated IRS report. It didn't link the White House to the tea party scandals.

++The GOP will remove the head of the CBO because Grover Norquist insisted. The problem they have is that the CBO reports do not agree that tax cuts increase government revenues.

++The GOP has decided that reconciliation is OK if the GOP controls Congress. What this means is that next fall they can eliminate Obamacare and pass such a law by 51 votes and it can not be vetoed.

++In this holiday season when Christians worship the birth of their messiah, who would end up tortured, ISIS has converted the churches in Iraq and Syria into  torture facilities.

++Somehow Rudy Guiliani has managed to blame President Obama , who is in Hawaii, for the killings of the two NYPD policemen.
