‘Bound to be true’? He doesn’t know the meaning of the word. I wish he were ‘bound’ to my front bumper. I’d take him for a truth tour through the ghettos, trailer parks and reservations and show him ‘true’ socialism, and its ‘true’ affects. I must say though – I never expected him to honor his vow to uphold the Constitution. After all, for a leftist, swearing on the bible is a bit like swearing on a ham sandwich. “I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear by this ham sandwich, that I will totally uphold the Constitutey thingy, so help me ham sandwich.”

Hello Fellow Americans: HE has called onto the Bishops of America, please see this at:http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/u.s._bishops_final_plea_to_congressmen_do_not_pass_pro-abortion_health_care_bill/ With God all things are possible. Please pray tonight and tomorrow. Pray with us for a miracle or a divine intervention, so this bill will not be voted in. We do need health care reform on health care costs, and we do need to control the insurance companies properly. Maybe these companies should not be for profit?????? To President Obama, Americans are the most generous citizens in the world. They already provide for many who are under privileged, hurt or are in need. Just look at the amounts of money raised for Haiti, Chile and the many other countries who have been faced with disasters. Also look at the many who have volunteered in the southern states after hurricane Katrina, or in the cities who have been unfortunate to have been distroyed from storms or earthquakes. In your speech today, I didn’t hear you acknowledge how much Americans already do. Its apparent the citizens of America already know how to help the helpless even more than the government of the USA. America, please join the Bishops of America and throughout the world to have today’s vote either postponed, or voted as NO, until this bill can be debated openly and properly by the American people and not just the democrats, the Republicans, or any of the special interest groups and the many lobbyist groups who surround the President and the US Government. It’s suppose to be “WE the People” not we the ones who don’t listen to their constituents. Miracles do happen, if not today, then definitely in November. America, be sure to record all that is taking place so we will remember the disservice that has been done by the men and women in Washington who just don’t seem to hear what “We the People” want, or don’t have a clue what America needs right now. God Bless our Troops, God Bless America, and may HE surprise us all today. Thank you, and Amen.

Joe American 1776   March 21st, 2010 - 3:35 am

Hello Fellow Americans: Here’s an easier website address to follow to see that HE has called upon our Bishops to stop this train wreck of a bill. Please pass this onto all in Washington. Miracles can happen. It is NOT too late. God Bless our Troops, God Bless America.

This is a Bill written by (ofshore) bankers, Obamao himself is an spineless ofshore Bankers puppet. Everything he does is to destroy the constitution, setting the NWO slaverny grid in place and supporting the killing of people, furthering the agenda of the Bush Nazi family.

Obamoa is a Hitler worshipper.

Just don’t comply… with any of it.

Get cards printed-up with the website, “Oath Keepers.org” on them, and hand them out to every law enforcement and national guardsman, anyone that must take the oath, to serve and protect The US Constitution from enemies foreign and domestic.
Go ahead and ask them if they plan-on adhering to that oath.

Quoted above from the Bart clip:

“I’ve been in your shoooss, I know what it’s like to take a tough vote.”

The truth is he voted “present” 130 times to avoid a tough vote. And not only that he’s got this funny little YouTube clip behind him:

TYRANNY: a government in which absolute power is vested in a single ruler; a rigorous condition imposed by some outside agency or force.

The WILL of the American people MUST PREVAIL against the forces of control and tyranny!

Passing a bill like this, with such an enormous impact, WITHOUT VOTING ON IT… “DEEMING” IT TO BECOME LAW!

Tyranny indeed!

FastFacts   March 21st, 2010 - 6:17 am

That is right, lets get the vote done so this guy can stop talking and we can get real change done, though this would be a poor change under Obama. He is changing it alright, polarizing America, killing our industry, and hurting I hope he stops talking after they lose. Question is, have they pressured enough people into voting for them???

According to http://www.americanparchment.com they are scrambling to the get the last votes, there are many maybe and there is no telling if there are enough to pass the bill. We need to continue to call our legislators and tell them how we feel, this is not over with.

I am not a big pro-life Conservative. But to vote on a bill that allows federally funded abortions on a Sunday is such a slap in the face to those whose faith in God and their church is strong and valued.

A few more votes that Obama and his Chicago thugs won’t be getting in 2010 and 2012.

Obama’s chin was extra high yesterday. At first I thought he might have a bloody nose, but then I realized that his Smug-o-meter was pegged at 110%.

I have never seen a more arrogant, narcissistic (and wrong) politician in my entire life.

When it comes to arrogant, Obama makes Kanye West look like a Buddhist monk.

Pelosi doesn’t have enough votes! Rally scheduled again for Sunday in DC – Capital Rotunda service at 1:00 P.M. EST

Get the latest news from american thinker. Just out on 3/21/20 “She Still Doesn’t Have the Votes” — http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2010/03/she_s...

The last update at 11:14 pm EST per the above link was:

204 Favor, 209 Oppose, 10 leaning towards oppose, and 8 unknown

Saturday’s rally had an affect. There is another capital rally today, Sunday, March 21, 2010

At 11 am there will be a church service in the Capitol Rotunda. This is the first church service held there in 100 years. House floor proceedings will begin at 1pm and the vote is at 2pm (as of now.)

Please those in the DC and surrounding area get to the Capital Rotunda for the service and rally for all of us that can’t be there! “If God be for us, who can be against us!” To everyone else, pray, pray, pray that God can get through to those that know that this is horrible legislation with grave consequences.

Thank you for calmly and politely, but with strength, representing those of us that can not be there.

Excellent speech by one of our greatest presidents. Loved it. I am certain it changed some wavering minds among the listening congressmen. The Bill will pass, Obama will sign it into law and millions of americans will be liberated from the tyranny of the heartless health Insurance companies.

At one minute into the video Hussein says “we don’t just look out for ourselves” – which couldn’t be further from the truth. The Democratzi are ALWAYS looking out for “themselves” even when it comes to ramming this Health Care sham of a bill through Congress against the very WILL of the American people! They want their “agenda” implemented REGARDLESS of what the American people think because it’s all about THEM! The majority of Americans DON’T want this monstrosity rammed down our throats and the Democratzi are trying everything possible (even illegal) to push this piece of junk through Congress using bribes, shady deals, closed door secretiveness, and back door smoke and mirrors finagling trying to pass this deficit RAISING, TAX RAISING, budget BUSTING, Health Care diminishing – piece of JUNK!

Here is a cost estimate analysis written by Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a recent and former Congressional Budget Office director, showing the “true” cost of Obamacare if enacted. If each and every Congressman would read this analysis with an open mind and an honest heart and then somehow still go ahead and vote for this piece of “garbage” is simply mind boggling, to say the least, and a true travesty will have been wrested upon the American people in the process if indeed it happens to pass. God have mercy…

“ON Thursday, the Congressional Budget Office reported that, if enacted, the latest health care reform legislation would, over the next 10 years, cost about $950 billion, but because it would raise some revenues and lower some costs, it would also lower federal deficits by $138 billion. In other words, a bill that would set up two new entitlement spending programs — health insurance subsidies and long-term health care benefits — would actually improve the nation’s bottom line.

Could this really be true? How can the budget office give a green light to a bill that commits the federal government to spending nearly $1 trillion more over the next 10 years?

The answer, unfortunately, is that the budget office is required to take written legislation at face value and not second-guess the plausibility of what it is handed. So fantasy in, fantasy out.

In reality, if you strip out all the gimmicks and budgetary games and rework the calculus, a wholly different picture emerges: The health care reform legislation would raise, not lower, federal deficits, by $562 billion.

Gimmick No. 1 is the way the bill front-loads revenues and backloads spending. That is, the taxes and fees it calls for are set to begin immediately, but its new subsidies would be deferred so that the first 10 years of revenue would be used to pay for only 6 years of spending.

Even worse, some costs are left out entirely. To operate the new programs over the first 10 years, future Congresses would need to vote for $114 billion in additional annual spending. But this so-called discretionary spending is excluded from the Congressional Budget Office’s tabulation.

Consider, too, the fate of the $70 billion in premiums expected to be raised in the first 10 years for the legislation’s new long-term health care insurance program. This money is counted as deficit reduction, but the benefits it is intended to finance are assumed not to materialize in the first 10 years, so they appear nowhere in the cost of the legislation.

Another vivid example of how the legislation manipulates revenues is the provision to have corporations deposit $8 billion in higher estimated tax payments in 2014, thereby meeting fiscal targets for the first five years. But since the corporations’ actual taxes would be unchanged, the money would need to be refunded the next year. The net effect is simply to shift dollars from 2015 to 2014.

In addition to this accounting sleight of hand, the legislation would blithely rob Peter to pay Paul. For example, it would use $53 billion in anticipated higher Social Security taxes to offset health care spending. Social Security revenues are expected to rise as employers shift from paying for health insurance to paying higher wages. But if workers have higher wages, they will also qualify for increased Social Security benefits when they retire. So the extra money raised from payroll taxes is already spoken for. (Indeed, it is unlikely to be enough to keep Social Security solvent.) It cannot be used for lowering the deficit.

A government takeover of all federally financed student loans — which obviously has nothing to do with health care — is rolled into the bill because it is expected to generate $19 billion in deficit reduction.

Finally, in perhaps the most amazing bit of unrealistic accounting, the legislation proposes to trim $463 billion from Medicare spending and use it to finance insurance subsidies. But Medicare is already bleeding red ink, and the health care bill has no reforms that would enable the program to operate more cheaply in the future. Instead, Congress is likely to continue to regularly override scheduled cuts in payments to Medicare doctors and other providers.

Removing the unrealistic annual Medicare savings ($463 billion) and the stolen annual revenues from Social Security and long-term care insurance ($123 billion), and adding in the annual spending that so far is not accounted for ($114 billion) quickly generates additional deficits of $562 billion in the first 10 years. And the nation would be on the hook for two more entitlement programs rapidly expanding as far as the eye can see.

The bottom line is that Congress would spend a lot more; steal funds from education, Social Security and long-term care to cover the gap; and promise that future Congresses will make up for it by taxing more and spending less.

The stakes could not be higher. As documented in another recent budget office analysis, the federal deficit is already expected to exceed at least $700 billion every year over the next decade, doubling the national debt to more than $20 trillion. By 2020, the federal deficit — the amount the government must borrow to meet its expenses — is projected to be $1.2 trillion, $900 billion of which represents interest on previous debt.

The health care legislation would only increase this crushing debt. It is a clear indication that Congress does not realize the urgency of putting America’s fiscal house in order.”

“Let’s get this done” sounds familiar. Isn’t that what Hitler said some years back? He solved his “healthcare” problem with a small cadre of elite National Socialists.
When the will of the American people is thwarted by a child who simply says “let’s get this done” that is called Fascism and when the pendulum swings (and it always does) there will be trials for impeachment, sedition and treason – yes, treason.
You can only break so many lows as a dictator before the people step in and say, “that’s enough” and they then take care of the problems legally and effectively.

Evidence that Obama DOESN’T LIKE us:

DECLARE WAR on the banks.
DECLARE WAR on the auto industry.
DECLARE WAR on the insurance companies.
DECLARE WAR on the oil companies.
DECLARE WAR on the medical profession.

CALL AMERICA greedy.
CALL AMERICA imperialistic.
CALL AMERICA war criminals.
CALL AMERICA mean-spirited.
CALL AMERICA arrogant.

Does this sound like a President who is proud of his country?

Christian America…join with me in prayer today!

Pray that GOD will speak to the open hearts of men/women in Congress to do what is right for ‘all’ of America!

Pray that GOD will intervene on behalf of HIS children who are calling upon HIM to stand with us as we stand for the rules of our land and the rules of GOD regarding the abortion of innocent children!

Pray that GOD will remove the evil from within our land that is out to destroy our Christian nation and HIS people!

GOD have mercy on us…and intervene!

Forgive us our sin of indifference to letting this evil take place…and help us now to resolve that which we have done…to protect the future of our children and grandchildren!

In the name of the only begotten Son of GOD…Jesus Christ!
