Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) calls in 7:05am to talk about yesterday’s Toyota hearings on Capitol Hill.
Rep. Ron Kind (D-WI) calls in at 7:35am to talk about today’s health care reform summit.
President Obama and his Dem allies are pleading their case for health care overhaul in an extraordinary summit with GOP-ers, broadcast live to a divided public on daytime TV. But Dems are already looking beyond Today’s meeting at historic Blair House. With GOP lawmakers remaining steadfast in their opposition, the president and his party are preparing to move on alone.
Under blistering criticism, Toyota President Akio Toyoda personally and repeatedly apologized to Congress and millions of anxious American car-owners yesterday for deadly defects in popular models produced by his Japanese company. But angry lawmakers forcefully declared it was hardly enough.
Senate Dems have retreated from adding new privacy protections to the nation’s primary counterterrorism law. Lacking the necessary 60-vote supermajority, Dem leaders settled on a one-year extension of expiring surveillance and seizure provisions of the Patriot Act.

Today is the one year anniversary of the President’s stimulus bill signing. Has justice been done? The politics of this are disgraceful and hilarious – simultaneously!
Toyota is now seeing the federal government get tough with it – for once! I’ll have the details!
And, am I wrong for being mad at Harry Reid and the President over not getting the big things done? Things like health insurance reform and bank re-regulation? I have taken a lot of heat for giving the President and Harry Reid heat – and I have gotten a lot of support! I am just speaking my mind and want you to do the same, today and every day, where justice is served – The Norman Goldman Show!

Promising “this is only the beginning,” President Barack Obama announced more than $8 billion in federal loan guarantees Tuesday for the construction of the first nuclear power plant in the United States in nearly three decades.
Toyota is considering a recall of the most popular car in the U.S., its hot-selling Corolla subcompact, after complaints about power steering problems — another blow to the world’s largest automaker already reeling from a string of recalls for safety problems.
Only a third of U.S. voters think that most members of Congress deserve to be re-elected this year, according to a new national poll. That’s the lowest number ever recorded for that question in a CNN survey. The CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll, released Tuesday, indicates that only 34 percent feel that current federal lawmakers deserve re-election, with 63 percent saying no.

Bye-Bayh!
How bad can things get? For Democrats, that’s an exasperated question. For Republicans, it’s more like a threat. They’re the ones making things bad, and not just out of their natural incompetence. Their obstructionism and obstinacy in the Senate are forcing Democrats with low thresholds for idiocy to quit politics. The latest victim is Democratic Indiana Senator Evan Bayh. Bayh said he quit because “There’s just too much brain-dead partisanship.” The United States Senate used to be known as the world’s greatest deliberative body. Now that body is brain-dead, thanks to the paralysis brought on by Republicans. And things aren’t going to get any better. You know that if anything is brain dead, the Republicans will insist on keeping it on life support while they pull Bill Frist out of retirement to announce that it’s perfectly alert according to his long-distance diagnosis. This must be the ultimate Republican plan—to obstruct government so badly that anybody with any sense will get out. Then they can take over again. If Republicans can’t run things, they spend all their energy running things into the ground. Actually, Republicans run things into the ground even when they’re in charge. At least they’re consistent.
It seems only natural that the people who have ground government to a halt would get together with the people who blame government for all their problems. Today “leaders” of the tea party are meeting with Republican National Committee “leader” Michael Steele. And please note that in both cases, the word “leader” is in quotation marks. In the case of the tea party, they deny that they have any leaders. In the case of the Republicans, most of them deny that Michael Steele is their leader. Well, this is demographically awkward! The only black Republican is going to meet with a group that has virtually no African-American members. That’s right—the tea party has about as many black members as the Osmond Family. And these tea partiers have never formulated an actual agenda. So a group who has no plan is going to meet with a group whose only plan is “no.” Classic. I would describe this as a meeting of the minds, but everyone involved is out of their minds. I don’t want to be anywhere near these nutcases… which is probably what Evan Bayh has been thinking about life in the Senate.

The banks need a serious dose of justice served on them – and we do that today! Bank spending on bribing our elected officials – pardon me – “lobbying” – is way up this year.
Senate gridlock has forced out Evan Bayh (D-In) and he is now saying what we have been saying all along – the Senate is broken – and the rules need re-writing. Will the Senate do what WE need them to do, or will they continue playing THEIR games at OUR expense?
The President has announced huge taxpayer subsidies for nuclear power. Where’s the “magic of the marketplace” and where are the Republicans to bash this profligate spending of taxpayer dollars?
We bang away for justice every day – right here – where justice is served – The Norman Goldman Show!
