Obama Gives 17-Minute, 2,500-Word Response to Woman’s Claim of Being ‘Over-Taxed’

Washington Post: Even by President Obama's loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy.

America…the Bilderberg…Obama the Bush…is getting nervous!

He knows that ‘real’ America does not support this ‘government run’ healthcare debacle and never will!

He does not take criticism well…and is starting to fray on the edges…and this is just the demonstration of the beginning of the crack in his armor!

Keep speaking up and speaking out! We are in the ‘right’ in fighting for our children and grandchildren!

This is their future…we are fighting for!

Our parents and grandparents stood up and spoke out for us…to hand us a legacy of a great Republic and we will do no less!

Keep asking the hard questions…America!

Do not back down from evil…it fears the truth more than anything else…and we have the truth of what ‘is…is’!

17 minutes? Wow. There was a news clip a few days ago I caught on fox. Barry was quoting himself (making sure everyone was aware about how brilliant he thinks he is) in a speech he made a couple days prior regarding how his healthcare fiasco isn’t causing armageddon. chuckle, chuckle. I think he left out the word “yet”. btw, think about how you would react to marshal law if implemented, especially by the current regime who has zero respect for the individual unless it furthers their purpose somehow. if imposed, it will be w/ the express purpose of quashing dissent. they will be waiting for you to resist so that they can kill you. think about it.

Hollywood tax — make Movie actors pay anything over $5 million per movie inn taxes, or lower movie prices in half because entertainment is a basic right.

Gandhi's Fist   April 4th, 2010 - 12:21 am

What you’re seeing is the fact that Obama is a committed Marxist and does not want to back down yet not say that his plans represent a redistribution of wealth. By the way folks, you do know what that means–right? It isn’t some innocuous term. It means to take the hard earned monies from those who’ve been productive and ambitious and give it to those who are not. Candy coat it however you’d like, those are the basic facts of Obama care. It is–incidentally–socialist, which translates to democrat rule for the foreseeable future. As you all become dependent on Obama care, you’ll gladly sell your vote to keep the support coming. The republicans would absolutely have to overturn this if they’d ever want anything like a conservative government again. Obama knows what he’s done, but does not want another Joe the plumber moment. So on he blathers, in a circular reasoning, saying nothing, meaning nothing, but spinning it with conviction.

Fall for this folks and you better get ready for “five year plans” and a national holiday for Lenin’s birthday. The dems are already encroaching on free speech, but labeling dissenters “racist”. Their press goons back em up 100 percent too. Do any of you think it gets better if we go down this path?

Well, number one, it matters not Mr. President, the Constitution does not give you or the Congress the power to do this no matter your reason! You and the Congress can not by fiat force people to buy insurance, houses, cars or anything else. You have no right under the Constitution! If you continue to push this, it will be seen as a violation of our Constitution at the least and at worst Treason!

We The People want the government to get the hell out of our way! Government needs to protect the freedoms we are born with. Outside of that, leave us alone!!! Mr. Obama, you need to stop trying to force us to do what YOU THINK IS RIGHT! This is not a dictatorship, it is a republic! Just because you are president does not give you the right tell us what to do. This is why I was against the patriot act!

I disagree with the President’s assessments in points 1, 2, 3, and 4.

He mis-understands the entire health care system.

I can sum up what he said in one sentence: “In order to cover more people we need to collect more taxes.”

Either way – oh my God – how boring is this guy?

FastFacts   April 4th, 2010 - 12:52 am

This misinformation that he talks about comes from his mouth.
– We are the only western society that doesn’t have coverage, yet we have the best health care coverage with the largest superpower and the highest standard of living.
– It doesn’t matter that we have this health bill if you are unemployed because it will take 4 years to get the bill started. The reason for this long wait is to collect enough taxes before the plan starts so that the CBO would show the deficit will decrease through this bill. That is because these taxes will be collected and counted before the cost of the bill starts.
– You will not know what you have if the government runs it because the government still doesn’t even know what is in the bill. Remember what Pelosi said, “Lets pass it so we can find out what is in it.
– The premiums will be going up for everyone in the next few years. Those in their 20’s will have their premiums go up 17 percent with this health care bill.
– Members of Congress, Staffers, and the President are exempt from this bill, it is in the bill.

Chris T   April 4th, 2010 - 1:00 am

Did I just hear him say that members of congress will get exactly the same insurance as us mere mortal people?

“Were gonna set up a big pool, a marketplace, that allows everybody to buy into this pool that members of congress, by the way, will be a part of so you know its going to be a good deal. Cause members of congress, you know, they’ve gotta look out for their own families. They wouldn’t vote for it if it wasnt gonna be a good deal.”

This was either a flat out lie to millions of people or the congress has decided to eat their own BS. I think the former.

O’banana has no idea what he is doing and who to fire, but blames X-Pres. Bush in times of crisis and not himself or his appointees and czars. Then states he is not an ideologue with this, “Bolshevik plot.” And let’s not forget O’Banana has his finger on America’s Atomic Arsenal. Drill baby, Drill!

Seventeen minutes and not a section to deal with the original question. I realize that he keeps justifying why he feels this country needs the healthcare reform, but you cannot answer all questions with your ideology. At some point, someone will make the president answer their question with a direct answer. By the way, I thought healthcare reform was providing 32,000,000 people with insurance. Why does point number one state only 15 million? Did 17 million people get healthcare the day of the vote?

After the crooked way he crammed communism down the collective American throat – why would anyone listen to a word he has to say. You just cant believe this guy – all he cares about is abusing the Constitution and the American people, he doesn’t care about their health care – all he cares about is how much of his agenda he could slip into something called a health care bill.

Thank GOD……All income should have been taxable years ago then the social security fund & Medicare would have never been shy of money. Social Security should be a fixed percentage paid by the employer or yourself (if self employed) on all income not just the poor and middle class. We’ve been milked by the rich long enough with historicly low wages and constantly rising costs for everything. Its time the Fat Cows paid their fare share of what they’ve earned ripping off the people and don’t even have the decency to employ the people they rob. They rape us and send our money overseas for the benefit of their own fat pockets. Now we just need to hit up all companies and importers with additional taxes for taking our work elsewhere. World trade exists for one reason, to place the middle class deeper into slavery. The ultra rich want a peasant class all over again. History has repeated itself, we are over worked and way underpaid and if we don’t fix it now, we’ll be getting gunned down by the likes of Pinkerton Agents like the workers did in the 1870’s, for wanting fair pay and the standard of living we deserve for working so hard.

di-da is alpha 13   April 4th, 2010 - 6:18 am

O.K. Randy, hows this,
Lady; “Is it wise to raise taxes for health care reform with the slow economy?”
President Obama, in not so many(?) words; ” Yes, it will save us a trillion dollars in the long run.”
Me; “But the numbers that the CBO were given were not complete. Also, it has been claimed that insurance premiums may actually rise faster under your program, and many large companies will be hit with the loss of tax breaks (in effect, a tax raise) that may cause the loss of benefits to employees, or perhaps layoffs (further shrinking the tax base). Can you explain why these issues will not be a problem?’
NO!!!! Don’t answer that!!! We”ll be here till Christmas. (Sorry, Randy, I couldn’t help that last bit.)

And it may have been a republican, but certainly not a conservative.

Randy Garver   April 4th, 2010 - 7:54 am

di-da is alpha 13:

Those are great points, and I’m glad to hear this kind of debate. I would also add that true medical liability reform is missing.

Just with regards to loss of tax breaks for corporations, I’m not so sympathetic. They’re a relic of WW2 salary limitations and these days serve as a taxpayer subsidy for big business. As a small business owner, not only do I have to pay through the nose for my coverage, but I don’t get to write off the cost of my staff’s health care. It makes small businesses less able to compete with big corporations for talent. Why not give small business the same tax breaks?

Both Republicans and Democrats love to go on and on about how entrepreneurship is the engine of America, but at the end of the day it’s always “No Corporations Left Behind”. Washington knows who butters its bread.

For all those people decrying this reform as “socialism”, you can calm down, because it isn’t. It’s “corporatism”. Both are usually lousy, but you should at least know what it is you’re dealing with.

Randy, I agree with helping out the small business owners 100%. As far as health care reform, I think market forces would solve much of the rising cost problems. If people payed cash for routine Dr. visits,
then folks would shop around for a good deal in their income range. New technologies in medicine will be expensive for a while (dialysis machines cost more than leeches) but , like VCR’s, the cost will go down over time. Insurance pools for major med. , set up similar to life insurance, the younger you purchase a policy , the cheaper your premium. Just a couple of ideas, yea?

Obama! Get the hell out of our White House and here are 33 reasons to impeach and imprison Obama, the love child of hippie seventeen year old girl from Hawaii with a Kenyan native, called Barack Hessian Obama aka Barry Soetoro of Indonesia, born somewhere in Canada, United States or Kenya?

1, Obama’s original vault copy (from wherever) of a long form (legal) birth certificate, if one exists, has never been released, officially. The Hawaiian news paper’s announcement of Obama’s birth announcement gave a birth address that does not exist, for it was easily phoned in and believed at that time by his grand parents or anybody in fact, and that not one local High School friend, doctor, nurse, hospital and or worker acknowledges Obama’s birth in Hawaii.
2, Obama’s short form certificate of live birth (COLB), a proven forgery and the only proof released officially of Obama’s citizenship.

(forgery) http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=105347
(forgery)http://www.westernjournalism.com/?page id=2697
3, Simple in 1961, no computers to photo-shop, edit or could produce Obama’s officially submitted fraudulent Hawaiian COLB document, in fact the font (type)is computer created, no typewriter had that capability in 1961.
4, You can view of Obama’s Kenyan Birth Certificate dated Aug. 4, 1961, in question, at this site and not denied. http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=105764

9, Barack Obama’s aka Barry Soetoro’s Indonesian Punahou School records, not released.

26, Obama’s University of Chicago scholarly articles, none released or exist?
27, The reason Obama lost his license to practice law in Illinois, for perjury, not released.
28, Obama’s campaign certification in 2008, not his donor list, vetted and submitted by the unpardonable fraud of Nancy Pelosi, and a private club the DNC. By submitting Obama’s name to be qualified to the Electoral College in order to place Obama’s name on the ballot knew it to be a fraud and immune, they the DNC from The Freedom of Information Act, never released and later denied they did.
29, Obama’s list of campaign workers who may have been lobbyists, never released.
30, Obama’s aka Barry Soetoro countries he visited outside the United States before 2008, never released.
31, Obama, never repatriated to the U.S. from his Indonesia citizenship, if documented never released, because only citizens there can attend school in Indonesia.
32, The U.S. Constitution states you CAN NOT be a U.S. president if you change your U.S. citizenship. “104 FIRST CONGRESS. SESS. II. Cn. 4. 1790.” States “That the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers of citizens or have never been resident in the United States.” Obama’s father was a native of Kenya, a British colony at the time of his birth in 1961.
33, On January 21, 2009, his first day in office, Barack Obama implemented and signed
into law Executive Order 13489, denying any release of anything about him.

This is just a sample of a traitor’s failed open and transparent policy and campaign lies, Obama promised America.

For all those people decrying this reform as “socialism”, you can calm down, because it isn’t. It’s “corporatism”. Both are usually lousy, but you should at least know what it is you’re dealing with.

Thank you for that.

Maybe if some of you on this forum would read the bill,you would find out this is a windfall for the private insurance companies.
I guess it just makes you feel better to call Obama a socialist.

About small businesses

Starting in 2014, small businesses and the self-employed will be able to shop for plans offered through new state-based purchasing pools called exchanges. By pooling small businesses together, these purchasing cooperatives are expected to offer rates that should be lower because of 1) increased group purchasing power, and 2) bigger pools of insured customers.

Businesses with fewer than 50 employees will be exempt from the mandate, though it is expected that many companies will try to offer it for two reasons
1 The exchanges should create a more affordable option than is available now.

2 The plethora of new tax breaks and credits written into the law as incentives.
