Opener for this list comes from Norma who writes at Collecting My Thoughts:
Extortion, threats, and corruption in the White House
Offutt Airforce Base is being threatened with the BRAC list (closure) if Ben Nelson (D-NE) doesn't fall in line. Michael Goldfarb, the Weekly Standard. That's thousands of jobs--a lot more than the piddling few Illinois will get with transferring prisoners from Gitmo. I'm still trying to find this story somewhere other than the blogosphere. Not that our media is so great about telling us what's going on with the stinks-to-the-heavens in this administration, but this is our security he's threatening, if that is true.
Offnut Air Force Base is the headquarters of the Strategic Command, the successor to the Strategic Air Command. So Nelson, Nebraska and the nation are having their security threatened as well as thousands of current and future jobs so Obama, Reid, Pelosi and the rest of the progressive losers in Congress can legislate a health care reform that the voters do not want.
The only thing more reprehensible will be if Nelson doesn't go public and name names so his constituents will understand his vote.
