LOBBYIST ALTMIRE: A CASE OF POLITICAL SCHIZOPHRENIA??

Obama's meeting with Lobbyist Altmire in 2010 as told by the WASHINGTON POST:  "Altmire reminded OBAMA that he had been to the congressman's district in western Pennsylvania, a conservative region where Republicans often win and the Roman Catholic bishop holds considerable sway."    " 'I want to represent my district,'"  he told the president.  " 'As you know, it is politically split.'"  from LANDMARK:  THE INSIDE STORY OF AMERICA'S NEW HEALTH-CARE LAW

LOBBYIST ALTMIRE: CONGRATULATIONS! YOUR PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS WITH OUR PRESIDENT HAVE BEEN CAPTURED BY THE ABLE WASHINGTON POST TEAM! WE ARE STILL WAITING TO SEE HOW ALTMIRECARE WILL CUT MEDICAL COSTS?

"Altmire, more than most in Congress, understood the intricacies of health-care policy.  As a congressional aide in the 1990s, he had worked on Clinton's failed effort and later became a hospital executive.  He opposed the bill (Healthcare) in November (2009) in part because it would not have gone far enough to control rising medical costs.  Obama saw that as his opening, pointing out to Altmire that the new version would create a Medicare cost-cutting commission.  Altmire reminded Obama that he had been to  (Altmire's district), a conservative region where Republicans often win and the Roman Catholic bishop holds considerable sway...."    from LANDMARK: THE INSIDE STORY OF AMERICA'S NEW HEALTH-CARE LAW AND WHAT IT MEANS FOR US ALL  by the staff of The Washington Post

LOBBYIST ALTMIRE: LET'S TALK HEALTHCARE! WE ENCOURAGE THE ELITE MEDIA TO RE-VISIT ALTMIRE'S VOTE AGAINST UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE AND TO EXAMINE WHAT THE LOBBYIST HAS DONE SINCE 2009 TO IMPROVE OUR NATION'S AND OUR REGION'S HEALTHCARE!

We are citizen journalists. We think Lobbyist Altmire's vote against universal health care has done more for his campaign chest and visits to Fox News than improving our region's Health Care delivery system. We did not attend the Columbia School of Journalism. We are simple people from Western Pennsylvania. We encourage the New York Times, The Huffington Post and the Washington Post to take a look at this K Street Prince and see what he has contributed to improving Western Pa's Health Care system. Elite media, you have the resources to unearth the real Lobbyist Altmire. We have one important question for Lobbyist Altmire: do you support the Pipes Healthcare plan??

OUR REACTION TO PITTSBURGH BEING NAMED THE WASHINGTON POST'S "IN CITY" OF 2012

Of course Beltway elites think Pittsburgh is an IN CITY. Their Beltway policies have de-industrialized our region. Their Beltway policies have destroyed our middle-class egalitarian culture. Now that the Middle Class has been destroyed, Pittsburgh becomes a nice place for Beltway elites to weekend and see "real" people at our beloved Primanti's. Who is speaking up for the Western Pennsylvania Middle Class?
