(Hat tip: KimR) - Following a dramatic deterioration in official diplomatic channels between the US and Saudi Arabia when over the weekend the Saudis threatened the U.S. with dumping billions in Treasuries if Congress were to pass a bill probing into their alleged support of Sept 11 terrorists in the aftermath of last weekend's 60 Minutes report on the classified "28 pages" from the Septemeber 11 commission, moments ago the Obama administration made a stunning admission, when for the first time it revealed on the record that the Saudis were the original source of funding for Al Qaeda.

Washington state's ObamaCare exchange faces funding shortfall

The Washington Health Benefit Exchange call center in Spokane is so busy that staffing has been quadrupled, with the center receiving up to 10,000 calls a day. The problem is not enough of those callers are actually signing up for insurance.


The state has enrolled 160,000 paying customers in ObamaCare exchange health plans but that's more than 50,000 short of goal, which has led to an extension of the enrollment deadline and a request that the Washington State Legislature fork over $125 million to fund the exchange.

Republicans are angry because they were told the exchange would be self-sufficient by the end of this year.

The New Leviathan: How the Left-Wing Money Machine Shapes American Politics and Threatens America’s Future

Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisconsin) writes, [Excerpt/Book Review] "This advantage means liberal groups far outspend conservative ones. On immigration, the 117 progressive groups identified by Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Laksin [authors of The New Leviathan: How the Left-wing Money Machine Shapes American Politics and Threatens America’s Future] have 22 times the funding of the nine conservative groups. On environmental issues, the count is 553 liberal groups against 32 conservative ones, and the left has 462 times the funding of the right. A broad range of liberal groups thrive not because they have significant popular support, but because their big-donor funding stream is so massive and reliable. ✧ This isn’t just a story of numbers. Mr. Horowitz and Mr. Laksin point out that much of this money is the diverted product of the free-market system progressives are trying to undermine." Read more at Frontpagemag.com...

President Bush Addresses NIE, Troops Funding & the Home Ownership-Mortgage Issue

NIE (National Intelligence Estimate) Report: "Iran was dangerous, Iran is dangerous, and Iran will be dangerous if they have the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon. … And I believe now is the time for the world to do the hard work necessary to convince the Iranians there is a better way forward."

Troops Funding: "Our troops are waiting on Congress to fund them in their operations overseas. Nearly 10 months ago, I submitted a detailed funding request. Congress has not acted. Our men and women shouldn't have to wait any longer."

Mortgage Crisis: "Secretary Paulson is working with a more complex industry than we've had in the past. And that's why it's taken a while … because not only do you have the lender, you now have a whole service industry that has arisen that will hopefully help people stay in their homes – that's their job – but you've also got people all around the world who now own U.S. mortgages and assets that are U.S. mortgage – bundles of U.S. mortgages."
