Well the choir appreciates the attempt but the kool aid gulpers will never believe it. Some of you are very sad in your blindness to what is being done to ALL of us by a select few who could care less about ANY OF US regardless of color or who you voted for.
This is not a racial or a ration issue. At what cost to your mama and papa, even you will be denied hip replacement, etc, etc? Will Obama’s plan deny crack babies care over you at any of today’s cost? Today estimated at two million dollars for three months of hospital care, per crack. Two 2 billion dollars in 1992, in today’s dollars?
‘Crack babies’ catch up
By DANA KENNEDY, The Associated Press, 12/6/92
“The first wave of crack-exposed children entered first and second grades in New York City this fall, a year after one state report estimated the cost of special care for them could total $2 billion over the next 15 years. Harlem Hospital researchers estimated that the cost of caring for crack babies costs the country $500 million a year. Such statistics have fed the kind of fear that led Ross Perot to invoke the dread specter of “crack babies” during the first presidential debate.
“Again and again and again, the mother disappears in three days and the child becomes a ward of the state because he’s permanently and genetically damaged,” Perot said. “
Please check-out this scene from the movie Soylent Green:

The way ‘Sol goes home’ seems MORE likely now than it did back in 1973…
And it says EVERYTHING you need to know about “0 – B – A – M – A – C – A – R – E”…
I do my part and eat an-apple-a-day, but that’s NOT enough to keep the BAD DR. 0BAMA away!
PS- Picked your favorite color or favorite music yet?
What context, Scott? He says he’s for single payer, but they won’t get there immediately because first they have to take back the House, Senate, and White House. Well, they have. Now they can get there. So, what’s the difference?
Did you hear him say “basic” coverage for everyone. Heaven forbid you have anything seriously wrong! They won’t cover that! Wake Up People and let your voices be heard!
Obama has NEVER had a close relationship with the truth.
Obamacare will be an Obamination!
That’s perfectly clear.
Well, that states it pretty clear doesn’t it. Every once in a while you get a glimpse of Obama’s true intentions. No teleprompter used for this one.
The White House is fighting back. Drudge and Breitbart are the evil villains of the week! Let’s see so far the villains have been gun owners, bible clingers, Bush, Cheney, Limbaugh, big oil, the military, fire fighters, police, big pharma, doctors, the evil insurance companies. Who will next week’s villain be?
54 seconds is cut. Uncut would be the whole speech. What is it that you didn’t want us to see? And from 2003. 6 years ago. You couldn’t find anything more recent than that? This issue of healthcare is very important, and I am extremely uneasy about it, but the conspiracy theories about obama trying to trick us into something that will make the US burn in hell are ridiculous. We should be having a dialogue about what is actually being proposed, in the house and senate, and its downfalls or merits, not taking clips from ‘03 and pretending that they are the legislation currently being proposed.
There’s a bigger issue at stake here! FREEDOM OF SPEECH. Obama has the NET POLICE out in force. Any words of dissension will be viciously attacked and ridiculed.
The US is turning into a dictatorship.
LET’S ALL HAVE A BEER!
Yesterday it was Savage!
Today it’s Drudge.
Tomorrow it’s YOU!
Yeah, let the white house claim we’re taking things out of context. People are dumb, I know… but not that dumb.
This is perfect. The first wave was a release of the minimal clip. Then wait for the White House spin doctors to claim its out of context. Then release the entire statement in context and make the spin doctors into liars. Excellent
Face it, Obama is a Marxist
Oh Jesse…the truth is oblivious to you, isn’t it. Try as you might, his own words bespeak his evil intent.
Oh, Jesse, don’t urinate down my back and call it rain.
Jesse,
The part that was cut from this video was him taking it all back.
Nice try
Jesse August 4th, 2009 – 12:19 pm
We should be having a dialogue about what is actually being proposed, in the house and senate, and its downfalls or merits
—
I agree. So why was Obama intent on rushing through the legislation? If it weren’t for the Blue Dogs, the vote would have already happened, absent the dialogue you say is so important.
Thanks for putting his comments in context and unedited. now, I can see that what he said is much MUCH worse than just a snippet.
We now have government against the people—see all you “right wingers” bearing signs in the streets.
This is the kinda thing one would expect from the colossal narcicisst and megalomaniac messiah. Artwork with the people en masse behind him is the product of his imagination. I defy him! I defy all he stands for! I defy his damnable Obamacare. Read the polls my moron president. This isn’t Chicago where bait-n-switch is regularly used and “leaning” on people is a way of life. Chicago-style politics is supposed to be hermetically sealed in Cook County. Like the “evil genie”, he’s out of the bottle.
I sent E-mails to both of my senators (Boxer and Feinstein) asking if they will accept the same health care plan that they are pushing on the public. I usually get a response from at least one of them on issues. No respose this time.
For those of you that are to young to remember WWII and the rise of the Nazi party in Germany, I recomend that you study some history of the times.
Hitler came to power promising everything to the people and he needed a scape goat to blame all the countries problems on. Enter the Jews and the “Final solution”.
Obama care is a chip off this block. If you are 65 or older, you are not worth government paid medical treatment. Die and free more money for your Democrat party to spend. If you’re 45-55 think long and hard if you want the government telling you that you can live or die. This is the “Democrat solution and the “senior citizen” as the scape goat. HEIL OBAMA!
Yeah, we believe you lady??? I’ll believe the video with Obama speaking with his own mouth. Like he said, it might take 10-15 years to implimate his plan to remove employer insurance but that is his GOAL. Next time play the tape and explain his words for him as they come out of his lying thuggish mouth.
Oh, don’t put to much into the last few words of my comment, it was JUST a few words put together to make it sound harsh! I surely didn’t mean them??
Obama is like a guy who gets caught in bed with another woman telling his wife; “Honey, it’s not what it looks like!”
Kennedy/Dodd Health Care Bill?
This has got to be some sort of SICK JOKE!!
Exhibit A: The Diver Speaks – http://www.fatboy.cc/live_from_chappaquiddick.htm
Exhibit B: The Waitress Speaks – http://sonsoftherepublic.blogspot.com/2005/08/kennedy-dodd-waitress-sandwich.html
Ted Kennedy Care and Chri$ Dodd: Women’s Health Care EXPERTS!
If the White House asserts that the statements are out of context, why don’t they release what they consider the full context? Those of you defending Obama and decrying the editing and context, why don’t you post the full video of all these moments. I love revisionists. It’s exactly like saying Obama didn’t call the Cambridge Police “stupid”, he just said they acted “stupidLY”. See? Two letters difference right? Jedi mind-tricks only work in movies.
Instead, they trot out this arrogant communications director to wag her finger at us with unrelated clips bearing the same trite little sound bites like “if you’re happy, keep it” – Obama telling us what’s in a bill he hasn’t even fully read. We don’t even need his words to understand what’s in the bill. We can read it for ourselves. It’s full of regulations that spell out the end of private insurance. All you book clubbers should make the Health Care “Choices” bill required reading. Read it.
I can’t wait to see how the White House Interns, over at MSNBC and CNN try to convince the American people Obama isn’t actually saying what he’s saying. “New Speak”? “1989″? Orwell? ‘Anyone paying attention?
Why are those who support Obama unable to see that he wants a single payer plan for this country? I mean how many times does Obama have to say that he wants this option if not now over time. When Obama is off script and the teleprompter is not there he speaks his mind and his mind say he want total control over your health care decisions.
(”Special interests and opponents have figured out how easy it is to disrupt town halls and get their own message out. The days of the truly free-form town halls may be over.”

Yea right- over for the real taxpaying public that is showing up to vent their displeasure at the great USA being turned into a marxist heaven!!!Notice how the gov media complex turns it against us when we express opionions. This, America, is a rude awakening as what the new hope and change agenda is doing to us.
See you, time for a big march on Washington.
Obviously, a vast right wing conspiracy! This is faked! Filmed in a movie studio! A look-a-like Obama actor! All fake!!!! Obama would never, ever, ever lie…. or would he?
If this healthcare plan is sooooo great. Then howcome Politicians and government employees aren’t included in the current plans for the plan……..?
..and to think, I ALMOST voted for this liar.
America WAKE UP! We are being fast fed this horse manure. They are not reading bills if so they would know that private insurance will not be allowed.
Everyone will have to go Public health, you will have no say in your own care. They will have direct access to our bank accounts to pay…direct real time access
for electronic funds transfer. Go Get the Bill.
Jesse – you are the poster child of the idiot liberals in this country.
It’s obvious this video was taken before Obama crawled into bed with the pharmaceutical and health insurance companies in order to be elected. Single payer would slam these “health care” industries so now it is off the table. Single payer would give everyone insurance and it would be cheaper for all of us and important health decisions would be made by actual doctors!
It just goes to show he has an agenda and will Lie to get what he wants!
Time to believe the Charlatan Chief! Should we not take him at his word? We need to seeing beyond his charisma — to his character!
Both the 2003 and 2007 comments – in full…….no one put words in his mouth – his words just depend on who he is speaking to.

BURN IN HELL OBAMA!!!
easily the person i hate most in the world
Rick Tret August 4th, 2009 – 12:13 pm
“Obama has NEVER had a close relationship with the truth.”
They have never even been in the same town!
OBAMA IS A DOUCHE. He’s also a:
cOmmie
sOcialist
idiOt
lOser
tOtalitarian
(and much more)
…at least according to antiobamasticker . com
Jerry, I was refering to the WH saying he he was taken out of context. I was joking about how the Administration says Obama is being taken out of context and then Breitbart plays the entire statement as a rebuttal and thus proves Obama’s statements were not out of context, they were completely on point. He is pro-single payer which we all have known and they can’t stand the fact that he was dumb enough to say so on camera. I wondr now if Nancy Pelosi will keep Congress members from including these quotes in their flyers.
Due to the INVASION of the USA, the following AMERICAN CITIZENS no longer need access Quality Health Care-
Exhibit A: http://www.ojjpac.org/memorial.asp
Exhibit B: http://www.voiac.org
Just another way to “RATION” Health Care.
THE TRUTH HURTS! Linda Douglass you are such a sucker! This administration is a joke – a really really bad joke.
2003? Can’t you morons find something a little more current?
In 1913 income tax was suppossed to be only 1% of income and now look at what we got!!! ObamaCare is a trojan horse. You will lose your private insurance at some point and be herded into the government “basic” care plan. Gee, I wonder if there will be any social engineering to correct the “wrongs of the past” so that previously “discriminated” racial and ethnic groups get preferential treatment? I wonder… hmmmmm…..
The full clip is worse. Obama is a Marxist. Obama is a conman. Demand Obama release all of his records.
The first line is important too.
“The question is: How do we get the federal gov’t to take care of this business?”
He is a marxist.
Read My Lips! I’m not trying to impose Socialism on America! I’m not a liar! I’m not a communist! I’m a lawyer. I’m from Chicago. I’m a “Community Organizer”, like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. All my friends and associates are communists and radicals, but I’m as American as apple pie, and I love capitalism, and American freedom, and private property, and the Bill of Rights. We can borrow and spend our way out of bankruptcy. I don’t want to own the auto industry, or the banks, or the energy industry, or the manufacturing industry, or all other industries, I just want to have complete control over all aspects of them, and to be able to regulate and/or tax them into complete compliance with my will. But I don’t want to “OWN” them!
Barry is a sneaky little devil. He is sick, and by reading only the free excerpts in Lyle Rossiter’s book, and then recalling Barry’s “Audacity of Hope”, you will be certain that we have a madman for president. America goofed up BAD! http://www.libertymind.com
As the wind goes.., so goes Obama. He will say anything, no matter how hypocritical, anithecal ( to previous statements ) or outright fraudulent, to have things go as he wants. He is the Prevaricator in Chief. It amazes me how they just flat out lie.., how delusional Obama and Co. ( Most of congress ) are.
On Sept 12th there is a March on Washington.., let’s show up en masse !!!
What an IDIOT!.
jesse, why don’t read some of the actual proposed bill?.
Then make your comments.
You are supporting a bill that would actually make you a ward of the state!.
Read the actual bill, or some of it, at least the first seventy or so pages.
I doubt you would understand it!, but at least you wouldn’t be making stupid comments.
Live long and prosper!
PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN
and my favorite cliche…
GARBAGE IN (the Congress and White House)
GARBAGE OUT (what the hell did you expect?)
Tax revenue is the problem! LOL
ALL OF THIS WILL CREATE THE CRISES THE GOVERNMENT WANTS!!!
Did I mention that the government is very, very, STUPID
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_plummeting_taxes
WASHINGTON – The recession is starving the government of tax revenue, just as the president and Congress are piling a major expansion of health care and other programs on the nation’s plate and struggling to find money to pay the tab.
The numbers could hardly be more stark: Tax receipts are on pace to drop 18 percent this year, the biggest single-year decline since the Great Depression, while the federal deficit balloons to a record $1.8 trillion.
Other figures in an Associated Press analysis underscore the recession’s impact: Individual income tax receipts are down 22 percent from a year ago. Corporate income taxes are down 57 percent. Social Security tax receipts could drop for only the second time since 1940, and Medicare taxes are on pace to drop for only the third time ever.
The last time the government’s revenues were this bleak, the year was 1932 in the midst of the Depression.
Every day we see the Idiot Messiah exposed for the Marxist he is.
Forget the Birth Certificate- I want to see his college transcriopts.
Keep digging bloggers! Because the Mainstream Media will never bring us the facts about this fraud.
Why was this little boy elected President?!?! He lies like a 5 year old!
Seems pretty cut and dry. Out of context? Does that mean that my ears heard one thing and my brain interpreted it as another? What a crock! Obama needs to quit backpedaling and just come clean with America. He wan’t to control yet another industry in this country, plain and simple. This will get screwed up just like Social Security and Medicare. I’m so sick of this jackass!
Its easy to come to the conclusion that we are being “tricked” into this health care plan. We’ve quickly forgotten the whole weapons of mass destruction. Bush sold us WMD in Iraq and a connection to Al Queda as a reason to invade Iraq.
Now we are getting this sales pitch from Obama that the Government will be able to run health insurance better than private industries. What if the gov’t can’t and we end up with another Medicare? How are we supposed to go back?
11 BILLION FOR ILLEGAL ALIEN HEALTH CARE LAST YEAR!
Here is 3 MILLION of it, for just 2 INVADER’S – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLJxmJZXgNI – 3 minutes, MUST SEE!!
Oh dear,Obama caught out lying again!
Obama and his Liberals are patient. While ACORN and the union thugs want single-payer socialism right now, Obama is shrewd. If he can get the public option inserted into the final healthcare legislation in the House/Senate conferees mark-up, it will be a matter of time before a substantial number of Americans are forced into the public healthcare option of the insurance exchange. That, combined with oppressive taxes on small businesses, which make up a substantial amount of employment in America, will force 40 percent or more of the American public into the public insurance option.
And when that happens, the private health insurance industry will simply implode.
First, you will see a wave of mergers and consolidations by insurers, as the small are forced to be swallowed by the giants. Then, you will see massive losses as the giants lose vast numbers of members to the private plan. Then, you will see insurers simply exiting health insurance altogether, and ceasing to write policies. (They will move to property and casualty insurance, which will cause yet another wave of consolidations in that insurance line of business.)
Within five to ten years, you will see a de facto move to a single-payer, government-run health insurance enterprise. By default. And Obama knows this.
It is devious and evil. And it WILL happen. The result is that over one MILLION people working in the private insurance industry will lose their jobs. That is more than the auto industry.
Remember my words.
The fear in these comments is a bit wacky! Anyone that supports the president is a mindless robot? Haha, the drudge reading, fox watching, folks are completely informed and not being brainwashed daily by crazy conspiracy theory after conspiracy theory. This is why republicans have lost all hope of reclaiming the government anytime soon. It really is sad that the republican tradition has been lowered to this level of discourse.
I have an idea…
For our congressional leaders to vote for a bill they need to be able to pass a multiple choice question test about the bill… one question from every 10 pages of the bill would probably be sufficient. Their vote can only count as a “yea” if they score better than 85%… if they can’t pass the test – their vote will be forfeited … and a report card on how they do for their entire term will be published. These libs are just following the bouncy ball – so enamoured, acting quite stupidly if you asked me…
Well, it looks like I’ve found another site for red-neck, ignorance. No one on here can actually debate the policy of a single-payer health care system. All they do is rip on Obama, calling him, of all things, evil. Evil!? Because he believes something you don’t. He’s evil? Isn’t that what the jihadists believe? Isn’t that what the crusaders believed? Isn’t that what the Kosovo conflict was all about? When will you dogmatic, WASPers realize your own folly?
And why do you beat the drum of the U.S. corporation so relentlessly? Do you really believe that by giving your voice to the profit-making corporation, you are securing for yourself even more freedom? Really?
Do you understand these corporations—the media, health insurance, financial corporations—have merged and merged more and merged more to become even more power, to control even more of the market share, to control pricing and quality even more and there is nothing you can do about it. You can’t vote them out. They don’t listen to or care about poll numbers. All they care about is money. And if you doubt that, please, just take a look at our current economy.
Greed is not always good.
But you insist on the same type of thinking—wild generalizations and blame for your troubles—that have gotten so many societies in trouble. The government can’t do anything right. The government sucks. You don’t want the government involved. They mess up everything.
Yes, I know the whole DMV thing, that favorite example of government frustration. But what about our National Parks? Have you been to one recently. I’d say they’ve done a much better job of managing public land than say, Ledcor or any other corporation.
I don’t even know why I try. And to think I used to think like one of you. The thought of it makes me shiver.
Totally out of context! He probably wasn’t even talking about health insurance. Obama would never be for that. He said so.
Socialism here we come…..
This will lower the quality of care in the US by leaps and bounds. And costs will continue to skyrocket as malpractice lawsuits continue to be abused.
The United States is the only high-income industrialized country in the world that does not have some version of public health care for the entire nation.
A recent Harvard University study found that medical bills are a leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States. The study found that many declaring bankruptcy were part of the middle class and were employed before they became ill, but had lost their health insurance by the time they declared bankruptcy and that about 2 million Americans live in families that have experienced medical bankruptcy.
Never mind all that sh*t,write your congress person and tell them you
want all single payer bull sh*t in this country to stop right away.
Like the health care for congress,medicaid,medicare and care for the military.
Write them and tell them you wont that sh*t stopped right now.
Funny how the truth keeps on making a fool of Obama,you would think one of his many advisors would have told him to stop lying,maybe they have and he just can’t help himself?
Volume 1 of Mein Kampf was published in 1925 and Volume 2 in 1926. Hitler’s book outlined all his dreams to enslave or extinguish a race. Hitler came into power in 1933 and remained till he shot himself in 1945. It took him 8 years from his first publication to enact his evil plan. What Obama says in 2003 is very relevant to what he will do today. All the speeches during the campaign are the least relevant.
That “Waitress Sandwich” incident happened along time ago.
I am now solely focused on MONEY.
See my “BANKERS FOR DODD” fundraiser here – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvmt-JBSE8o
Snake is as snake does… and barry’s cohorts are telling people it’s scare tactics? LOL!
From StarHawk to Brian
Agree on most of your thesis, strongly dissagree with “ITs” shrewdness.
Shrewdness is not as much of a factor, as the gullibility of the people.
When you damb down three generations of people, it doesn’t take a lot to fool them!.
We all agree that some type of healthcare fix is required, but the way that Obama,
Pelosi and crew are trying to force this thru congress is discusting. The dems are
not asking for any input from well educated doctors on the other side of the aisle –
so arrogant yet so typical of obama, pelosi, harry reid, etc. This government takeover
of health care needs to be stopped NOW before it buries our children with debt.
If you believe BHO, you MUST believe JOHN F. KERRY.
Lee, I SOOOO agree.
Obama: “I think we should kill dogs.”
Jacob Marley: “Excuse… me did you just say we should kill dogs?”
Obama: “What?! No! I was saying how much I like dogs and we should give them ice cream.”
Gibbs: “Uhm uhh… What the President said was he likes peanut butter and jelly.”
I miss the good old days of politicians weasel-wording… now they just boldface lie. Its the same as Gibbs coming out and sayiong he didn’t call the police stupid. SHUT UP we heard him. They sound like my 4 year old trying to explain to me she didn’t use the whipped cream, while she is standing there copvered in it. And what is really sad, is the media and many of the party people follow them.
If the President, Congress, and the rest of the clowns in D.C. feel that this is such a great idea, why don’t they step up
and demonstrate? Forego the “golden” health care plans that “American royalty” gets and agree to be legally bound by the
same terms and conditions as the rest of the American people will be under this new health care system. Ahem…in writing,
please.
And when the rationing starts (which it inevitably will), they must agree to be the first ones to be denied coverage.
There. That seems fair. And why would they refuse, if everything is as rosy as they’d have us believe?
And one more thing…no free Botox/nips/tucks for Nancy or Biden. :)
I recommend http://www.bible-codes.org
Geez…why is it these pathetic libs always revert back to their BDS as their only comeback?? Thanks, Breitbart for posting this – in it’s entirety – so the whiney libs can’t say it was cut and pasted by the “right wing” conspiracy theorists!! You’re doing the job the drive-by, Obamamedia won’t do. Warning, tho; Watch your kneecaps and hope you don’t receive any dead fish packages.
The missing 3 minutes:
“I was for a single-payer health care system before I was against a single payer health care system.”
OK, let’s all sit back and watch how the left-wing media spins the meaning of the full clip!
I can’t wait to see how they spin this attention to his real intent is as fear mongering, or hate speach or some other chicagoland style retaliation.
To Jesse
How many times would you like to here him say it? I guess you didn’t here
about speading the wealth around. I’am sorry, I forgot that was Bush’s fault.
Obama’s legacy is being formed with 2 key words so far.. “Clunkers and Bailouts”. it is so fitting
What’s next? Single Payer Funerals?
This administration is causing a lot of change…if you want to know who is really behind the administration’s plan, simply find out who has the most to gain, financially. Time tested and still works today…”Follow the Money”
40 years ago last month, I dedicated myself to QUALITY HEALTH CARE FOR ALL. Those persons in the womb and trapped in cars don’t count.

The more I see my neighbor’s (nationally) losing their jobs and their homes, the more of an ahole I see this guy is. I didn’t vote for him, I don’t believe a word he says, and we would have been MUCH better off with McCain elected, because maybe he WOULD have died and then we would have had Sarah Palin. Hopefully the close minded republicans among us will see that she has MUCH more experience than this impostor (HE IS NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN), and give her a chance! Change we can believe in? Yeah, it is REAL easy to believe that he can screw up the US!
Its time to vote new representation in DC. Both houses of Congress, the White House,
the whole lot that we can vote on – kick them out!!
We need to get back to representatives that have worked in the private sector,
we need term limits, we need REPRESENTATION!
VOTE THEM ALL OUT!
They depth of outright dishonesty by this administration is a slap in the face to the America people. The media (excluding Breitbart, of course!) are struggling to find every creative way possible to cover for the Obama administration, but the lies and deceit are becoming so open and so frequently that the media is simply running out of ideas.
This is just flat out right sad. These people (democrats) actually view Americans with so much contempt, that they believe “we” are stupid enough to just take their word, or, as in this case, “not take their word.” Such blatant disrespect for the American people, to be so openly dishonest and then deny it.
SUBMISSION IS IN YOUR FUTURE AMERICANS
Obama and team lied?? No.. Never.. I’m shocked…. (sarcasm mode off)
I recently read that one alcoholic drink per day actually has a number of positive health effects. So in addition to
publicly-funded theraputic massage, mental health counseling, and abortions, free beer should be included in the health
care reform legislation. After all, it’s about a happy and healthier America, right?
Oops. Never mind. Forgive me, I get confused sometimes. It’s really about buying votes with other peoples’ money.
Obama did NOT prove he was born in America before the election… it is time to impeach! (LOL… go ahead brownshirts and try to marginalize me, you will NEVER hear the end of THIS issue either until Obama is disgraced and his legacy remains as a usurper of the Constitution and thus an enemy of our founding fathers)…. Brownshirts following a Redcoat! The British aren’t coming… they’re already in the White House and the U.S.A. is under control of a foreign king again.
Saw this video over the weekend, linked to from RedState. Glad to see it’s getting the exposure it deserves. Keep it up, Breitbart!
Happy Birthday Mr. President!!!
We’ll, everything he talked about in there, Have to get control of the White House, have to get control of the Senate, Congress. It’s all a matter of time folks, we have to voice our opinion now more than ever!
To quote an earlier post: Rick Tret August 4th, 2009 – 12:13 pm
Obama has NEVER had a close relationship with the truth.” Rick, you are soooooo right. However, you need to add that Obama has NEVER had a close relationship with the reality of 99+% of Americans!!! The man is drop-dead naieve, a fool, ignorant … or all three. Maybe ad delusional too.
My god. What have we allowed into our White House? How could we have let this man into office? He, and his administration, is destroying he United States.
We NEED to stand up and be heard. We NEED to stop this. This is not a joke anymore.
I am truly concerned for our future.
“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.” Galileo
Anyone who voted for Obama acted “stupidly”.
There is nothing wrong with supporting a single payer system There is nothing wrong with supporting socialized medicine.There is EVERYTHING wrong with lying about your position because you are afraid it is not popular. There is EVERYTHING wrong putting out a video with a media shill claiming that what the president said the president didn’t say.This video says it all-it cannot be explained away by a rational person.The president can’t continue to lie about what he believes and what he is planning if the record is public.This is why he will not release his medical records.This is why he will not release his college or law school transcripts.This is why he claimed to be unaware of Rev. Wright’s racism and truly bizzare ideas.His greatest enemy appears to be simply the truth.He will go to great lengths to obscure the truth-why is he so insecure that he can’t simply let the facts speak for themselves?
Obama better keep his single payer Commie hands off my Medicare! It works great for seniors and we don’t need the federal government’s involvement in our medical care!

We have the best health care in the world for better than 90% of our people. I do not
think that our system is perfect, nor do I think that it should continue as it is
today. What we need is reform, not complete rewrite using systems that have been shown
to fail over and over and over.
Medicare, Medicaid and Military health care is not something we should model our health
care after. I have had some experience with these. Having the same as coverage as
Congress would bankrupt the country in nothing flat. I would be much more willing if
Congress, the President and everyone were forced to use the same as what they were
passing for everyone else. Unfortunately, this is just not so.
As I said, I don’t think we should do nothing. However, single party is the WRONG way to go. A
monopoly of anything is bad news. What is written, from what I have seen, and I make a
point to see as much as I can, is designed to make a one party system over time. Let’s
set down, use the good parts of health care. Let’s get rid of pre-existing conditions,
perhaps by sharing the load across insurers when someone with pre-existing conditions
needs insurance. Perhaps we set up an insurer of last resort (the government) that will
take care of those that CANNOT (note this is not will not) get insurance. There are many
options that we could look at reasonably that do not put the Government in charge of
healthcare.
Can’t Obama be impeached for his endless lies and deceptions, his Chicago mafia like politics, and his now obvious stealth black liberation theology socialist revolution which is destroying our once great country (even black people, new agers who listen to their favorite channelers, PC brainwashed youth, and white women with black-man fascination should be outraged)?
I found a few Websites showing only partial list of Obama’s lies:

Quote from Obama’s theological leader of black liberation theology, James Cone, pushing for a civil war if blacks don’t get everything they want:
“Whether the American system is beyond redemption we will have to wait and see. But we can be certain that black patience has run out, and unless white America responds positively to the theory and activity of Black Power, then a bloody, protracted civil war is inevitable.” [Black Theology and Black Power, Page 143]”
Many bitter blacks really want to enslave and white people because of the black’s hatred, racism, bitterness, greed, sloth, complaining, and unforgiveness–all sins in the Bible God hates):
March on Washington SEPT 12 2009
Make Plans Now. Time to Stop Runaway Govt
we’re seeing shades of 1984 and Soylent Green already, watch out Running Man may be coming sooner than you think !
Let’s face it, Obama and his people wouldn’t recognize the U.S. Constitution if it bit them.
We are living in something like 1921 Italy, the real new fascists are on the march now, they will lead America to ruin and destroy the last, best hope for mankind.
HUH? Does ANYBODY actually believe a word that comes out this OBamanation? Remember when
he said that we had to pass the stimulus bill to STOP the unemployment rate going beyond
8%? Well it passed, and unemployment is 9.4%!!!!
If you voted for OBama, thanks a lot A$$HOLES!!! How’s that hope and change working?
Americans need to ask if this is worth the trip, or if there is a more effective method for investing in our future.
You know we pay more for healthcare and get less than most any country in the world. When do people realize profit and medical care cannot co-exist? What we have now is so convuluted that it is very possible going to a Doctor or the hospital is worse than not going at all. There is no incentive to cure, only to make money. Do you want the same “investors” that destroyed our financial system continue to destroy our medical system? To me the realization that no one understands how bad our system actually is just boggles the mind. We have become so greedy that our system can’t even deal with asbestos in a rationalmanner. Asbestos kills and makes sick untold people every year under the guise of a false diagnosis and we don’t even realise it. That corporate greed alone has killed hundreds of thousands of Americans and maybe millions. If they could find a cure or a pill to cure greed then this might work.
They tried to create drama around everything else and were hoping to slip this under the radar. Obviously there are enough people paying attention to start exposing this for what it is, a terrible mistake we will never recover from. People better start waking up or we’re going to be screwed.
Don’t underestimate BHO; he’s a very smart dictator in sheep’s clothing. His objective is to DESTROY our country and everything capitalism built! He is an out and out COMMIES under all that ‘clean and articulate’ stuff, (he picked Biden because Biden obviously has dementia). The USSR had and Cuba has EXACTLY the health ‘plan’ that BHO intends for YOUR health care. No longer will you have to labor over the question about ‘choice’ comrade; no longer will there be any need to consider quality – all such decisions will be made for you AND YOU WILL LIKE IT! He’s just a commie THUG and Michelle Malkin’s book has the truth of how corrupt he really is.
Jesse – I agree with you on one thing. We should be having a dialogue in the House & Senate. Why do suppose Barry is trying so hard to sidestep that process? Fiscal responsiblity and transparency my butt!
Obama says, if you like your health plan you can keep it. BUT…for how long? I believe it’s 5 years, before ALL insurances will conform to the National Govt. treatment and payment plan. Taxpayer funded abortions. Rationed care for seniors. Why not? Abortions – no burdens on society. No “inconveniences” for irresponsible people. Seniors…treatment too expensive – and no Soc. Sec. payments if they’re dead….that’s Euthanasia, folks.
Fire these “servants of the American People” in the next election. IF the Dems. don’t eliminate elections before that.
An American Wasteland is coming.
From StarHawk to Wolfsbane
If you just now are seeing shades of 1984… then you have been asleep (ala “Rip Van Winkle” ).
The signs have been out there for decades now!, how do you think George Orwell got his ideas?.
I too would like an intelligent discourse on this proposed policy, arguments for and against — with specifics, not political soundbites. A “single payer system” is exactly that and for Obama, who has already proven that he thinks the government can run things better than anyone, that single payer is the US Government, i.e. OUR TAX DOLLARS. He has spent all our money already and that’s BEFORE we have his healthcare plan.
When did voters start arguing (or buying into):
“Never mind the man’s character –
just ask ‘will he perform his job as _______ ?’ “
If this socialist healcare plan passes I expect every player in Gov to be on the same program as the welfare people and the senior citizens. That includes YOU Obama!
Disenheartened; Geez where in the world did you hear our health care system was the best in the world? I am not faulting that statement yet. I just want to look that up. Thanks
Why can’t someone just come up with a plan to cut the cost of health insurance without infringing on our liberty? The dems and libs want you to think that people are just dying in the streets left and right because they don’t have health insurance! Everyone knows that NOBODY, not even illegals, are denied health care in this country or prescriptions. Not everyone can get EVERYTHING done that they want done, but enough BASIC stuff is done to help everyone. Cap liability claims amounts. Stop malicious lawsuits. But still hold doctors liable. Asprin does not need to cost $15-20 a pill in the hospital. Seeing a doctor doesn’t need to cost $150-250 dollars (without insurance) just for a check up. For $200 a doctor better DO something other than just LOOK at me! The costs are outrageous. Insurance companies don’t need to charge as much as they do because out of 300 million people, only perhaps 10-25% are seriously ill. The rest are in generally decent health! The insurance companies are already making everyone pay for someone else’s health care, and the rates are already astronomical! Why expand that into the government, whom some can’t even pay taxes or figure out “TaxCut”, whom NONE of them will opt for the plan they’re proposing (because it’s NOT good). Page 84 or 89 of the current bill being passed around the House states the plans for the phasing out of private health insurance.
Obama and his team have a very long term, very different vision of America and it’s NOT based on our current constitution. Speaking of which, the Constitution mentions nothing about the Congress, President or the Supreme court forcing American citizens to pay for health insurance of others. Just as it says NOTHING of making is MANDATORY that we pay into SOCIAL SECURITY, which means that the decision shall fall to the individual States or the INDIVIDUAL per the 10th AMENDMENT. As true with abortion laws, etc. WE THE PEOPLE MUST TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK AND FREE OURSELVES FROM TYRANNY!!! THE CONSTITUTION IS NOT A “LIVING” DOCUMENT SUBJECT TO INTERPRETATION.
To those here that say we are being unfair to Obama and Congress…
Please take the time to contact your reps in Congress and ask for a written response to the following:
If you pass Universal Health Care Legislation will it include a mandate that every member of Congress, the Administration, all staffers, and all federal employeess participate in said program within 180 days of it being signed into law? Further, all current healthcare programs for the fore mentioned persons will be terminated.
I have contacted each of mine three times. I have yet to receive a reply specifically answering that question. The President did address the concern during his press conference with the following ” This is not about me, as I and all of Congress have EXCELLENT health care programs”! So you see they are far too important to participate with the masses!
The Joker is exposed.
And now the gov want americans to report to them anyone who talks negative about the health care bill?
There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!!!!
There is a plan, it is called “Tort Reform”!, but LOL trying to get it past congress!.
If you watch this video and are NOT shocked and amazed, then you are a simpleton. This morning the White House accused the DrudgeReport of putting all this together, but here is the WHOLE video clip. Mr. Obama is saying EXACTLY what he SAID.. he wants to get rid of Health Insurance Companies and have the Government provide healthcare to everyone. This means what? The Government will have you COMPLETELY under its control. But listen to his last statements.. “We have to take back the WhiteHouse, the Senate and the House”. Ladies and Gentlemen – Behold.. the Beginning of Socialism in the United States of America. Dont think it hasnt been coming. That old idiot Walter Cronkite even said .. QUOTE “Americans are going to have to give up SOVERIENTY, and that may be a bitter pill for them” in regards to a “One World Government. Dont believe me? Look it up. Its the honest to God’s Truth. Obama is just making it all happen.
Anyone who wants single payer health care should move to Britain or Canada. Once the need a life saving operation, or some proper medication immediately, they could come back and publicly denounce the system, promise to never vote again, and hold their head in shame.
My portfolio is doing just fine, thankyouverymuch. Hey lunatic fringe retards, he’s only been in office for 6 months and already the market has seen the biggest increase ever. Pretty good track record, ‘tards. But I guess you trailer trash don’t even know what a “portfolio” is. Better watch out! The Obama brownshirts are coming to steals all ‘ur ammunitions, freedoms, monies, an Tylenols!
Laughing AT you, ‘tards. :-D
What you didn’t see too much of last week was the the proposal by Sue Myrick to have Congress ditch their health care plan and adopt what is being proposed to the “people”. Yeah, it was voted down hard by the Democrats. If the Democrats plan is such a great bill, why will Congress not take the same coverage? Simple enough, isn’t is?
I wonder how long it will be before we get asked “So really, who do you believe? Me or your own eyes and ears?” This guy was telling everyone all along what he stood for but the main stream media completely lapdogged for him and did’t put ot all of the REAL information.
who’s going to snitch?
To all of you that keep blaming the “Media” for the mess we in.
You must love been victims!, the only thing you had to do is open your eyes and ears, you don’t need the media to spoonfeed you!, think for yourself for a change, and stop blaming others for your stupidity!
The ONLY system that will ever work is one government run health care plan for all. It’s ridiculous to think that in a country that has a public school system and a public library and free mail delivery straight to our homes would think that it can endanger all our lives but not having free universal government run health care for all. We are just so in the dark ages on this health care issue, and that’s why our citizens in such poor health compared to many other nations.
Obama’s true agenda being exposed by his own words: Priceless.
SINGLE PAYER NOW!!!!!!!! GO FOR IT MR. PRESIDENT!!
My company closed down our California site because it couldn’t afford the health care costs. Now I have no
job or health insurance. When it happens to you, you might think twice about your current health insurance
providers costs….
It’s amazing to see the dying few Obamamaniacs chime in above saying nice try or don’t you have the full clip or don’t you have something more recent than 2003. How ideologically blind and in denial do you have to be to not realize what Obama is and what he wants? Heck, these are his own words! And he said something similar in 2007, also on video, and that’s very recent. Sebelius and Frank and others have also said this healthcare public option would be the beginning step towards single payer, and Obama is on record saying the same thing on at least 3 occasions on audio/video. So please Obama-luvers, put he kool-aid down and take your man on his own freaking words, he’s for single payer universal healthcare, he’s for economic justice and spreading the wealth around, he/we now own car companies and soon we’ll put a strangle-hold on the energy industry if he gets Cap & Tax passed, and then it’s Card Check to payback the Unions that own him….we’ll become France with permanent 10%+ unemployment and a shrinking GDP and exports, high inflation while France is trying to become more capitalistic like the USA….wake up people.
2day is B.O.’s B-D. Wonder if he got any gifts from the Arab butts he kissed…wonder if he consults spirits of the old Chicago mob…also wonder how old he is… no one’s seen his B-Certificate so who knows for sure (Well maybe, The Shadow Do). This guy’s not just a poor excuse for a president who swore he would uphold the Constitution….he’s a poor excuse for an American. WhatAColossalCreep
Ted Kennedy is 77 and has brain cancer. Chris Dodd is 65 and has prostate cancer. If either of them were not a Senator, and were members of the proposed Nationalized Healthcare System, neither of them would be eligible for treatment because of age. They would instead, get counseling for end of life planning. If the federal government ever takes over healthcare, the only way it will be fair to the general public is if members of Congress are forced to join the system, too. I know Congress thinks we are peons outside of Washington, DC, but we can prevent the current disaster from happening. Even if you are for single payer health care, what is being proposed will not take care of you and your family when you most need it. All of us peons should be up in arms at the town hall meetings our representatives have in August. Tell every Democrat and Republican that you will not vote for them ever again if this is allowed to pass without them being a member, also.
Jenchillada “If this socialist healcare plan passes I expect every player in Gov to be on the same program as the welfare people and the senior citizens. That includes YOU Obama!”
Don’t look now but THAT idea is already a bill in Congress: HR615 by Rep. Dr. John Fleming (R-OH). I think it was already voted down but every single vermin that voted against it, (whether democrat or repulican), should be VOTED OUT! How dare ANY of those elitist rats declare with their nay vote on HR615 that they are ABOVE the people and should not be subject to the limitations of government health care they want to impose on us? It just doesn’t get any starker in contrast than this…

W. Kerrigan: I’m 40 and a long way from retirement. Still, Obamacare makes me shudder when I think what this would do to seniors. He doesn’t care about the unborn (”mistakes,” he calls them, if they aren’t “wanted”), and he hires a science czar, Holdren, who is a devout antipopulationist, and he was going to hire tax-cheat Daschle to lay out his end-of-life agenda, so it’s no wonder he would devalue the lives of older Americans. I’m sickened by this. I can join the rallying cry of all the voices against this. I can call my local politicians. I can read, I can post rants. But I can also pray hard this never comes to pass. I can pray that anything done in secret comes to light, like Obama’s statements in this video. And I pray that often — and, lo and behold, the Lord prevails and Obama’s team is caught in more lies. Look for God’s hand in this. Americans needed waking up for a long time. We’re awake now, and we won’t be going back to sleep. Thank God!
Tom, who is getting exposed to asbestos today? The recent asbestos class action lawsuits have been based on phony x-ray diagnoses from one Radiology group with questional objectivity.What false diagnosis are you talking about?In the 1940s and 1950s asbestos was used to protect from fires.Greed didn’t put into ships and public buildings-public safety and fire concerns did.The principle company involved with asbestos litigation went bankrupt from the lawsuits.I suggest that you study the issue before making uninformed statments.
Hey Reality and other Obama folks, most Americans (like 80%) like the healthcare they receive and simply would like to see more competition, lower prices, and tort reform so doc’s don’t have to pay insanely high insurance rates due to multi-million dollar malpractice suits brought on by the likes of Attorney’s like John Edwards. Is tort reform included in this healthcare bill? Republicans have pushed to have it included, but Pelosi won’t even let the tort reform on the floor the House for discussion. And Dems also won’t allow for cross-state insurance competition (like we have with auto insurance and other goods/services), all of these things would dramatically reduce the price of health insurance, but nope, the Dems won’t include it.
We all agree that healthcare insurance reform is needed, but we don’t need to throw out the current system and replace it with a gov’t run program….no way….medicare, medicaid, soc. security are all near bankrupt, no thanks. Let’s reform what we have, implement process improvements, open up competition across states and implement some tort reform so doctors don’t have to pay ridiculously high insurance rates for practice, this will also result in a much needed increase in students turning to the medical field to be come doctors, because right now the money isn’t there, the cost of insurance is nightmarish and students are turning towards law, where the real money is unfortunately. But Obama and many other politicians are lawyers, so go figure.
Sorry Dr. Fleming is from LA not OH! my bad

Medicare is BANKRUPT, Social Security is BANKRUPT, the Federal Government is BANKRUPT. The United States Balance sheet is Assets less Liabilites = Negative Net Worth = Insolvency = BANKRUPT
and yet Obama keeps spending more money. The spending MUST stop now! Just say NO to his risky skeem of a Government run health care system. This is our Last Chance to save our Republic. Get involved NOW Americans! God Bless our once Great Nation.

His socialism came back to bite him in the a$$.
Apparently the liberal stooges think that if you wait sixty more seconds Obama will say, and I was just saying what Bush wants and not what I want. Nudge nudge, hint hint. Liberals cant possibly look more airheaded, clueless and pathetic reprobates.
Obama Supports Single Payer Health Care Plan…
Once they take back the White House, OH WAIT
……
Apparently we need more recent videos since this one is almost six years old and obviously Barney Frank did not say in 2009 that a government option would naturally lead to their desired single payer plan. Yes, it is all a dream and liberals dont really have their heads up Obama’s bottom. It is all an illusion. You cannot believe your lying eyes and your lying ears do deceive you. Your messiah will not lie to your nor fail you in your time of need. Then you wake up and some god damned socialist has taken over the country.
Socialism
Here is an example of how silly you far right wingers can be. BringBackBush wrote, “Obama better keep his single payer Commie hands off my Medicare! It works great for seniors and we don’t need the federal government’s involvement in our medical care”!
Who do you think runs Medicare? That’s right…THE GOVERNMENT!
Oooops!
This video is clearly an Adobe Acrobat forgery. The Health Care Plan is going to improve our health care so that we can point with pride and say our health care is every bit as good as Canada’s, England’s or Cuba’s. Old people will get all the pain killers they need to manage without the needless operations and children will be too young to understand what they are missing. Our strong national attorney force will still be able to prosper and help forge as new Constitution – one that is hip and now !
Please just stand by and let ’s give’m a chance to work the magic that helped turn around Czarist Russia !
P.S. Cash for clunkers is a brilliant example of what we can look forward too !

Linda Douglas and the whole Obama thug machine are full of it.
I JUST WATCHED THE WHOLE VIDEO UNCUT AND IT CAN’T GET ANYMORE CLEARER THAT OBAMA’S STATED OBJECTIVE IS TO MOVE THIS NATION TO FULL ON SINGLE PAYER SYSTEM.
WATCH IT YOURSELF AND SEE:
http://www.breitbart.tv/obama-in-03-id-like-to-see-a-single-payer-health-care-plan/
BARACK OBAMA IS LYING RIGHT NOW TO GET HIS WAY.
HE IS LYING … PERIOD, END OF DEBATE
Airwick, your name should be Airhead. BringBackBush was being facetious (that’s “in jest”). A government that blows Medicare and Social Security and VA healthcare and Cash for Clunkers and, and, and … well is a government that shouldn’t grow its domain.
Obama reminds me of a young middle manager who comes in and tries to reshape the company the first six months. Eventually the lack of experience and his contempt for people will crush him.
This was taken from a story on CNN called WH takes on Drudge…
“The clip was no longer on the Drudge Report Tuesday morning. The only references to Obama were headlines related to and posted under the image of a poster that depicted the president as the Joker from Batman over the word “socialism.” Drudge has not yet reacted to the White House video.”
Yet, the clip is here, with a red highlight on the story…what media outlet will report this inaccuracy?
Well, this is TOTALLY different from the edited, “out-of-context” version! I now understand why Obama and state-controlled media railed against Drudge for his intentional miscontruance of Obama’s position. This “full verion” makes it painfully obvious that Obama is TOTALLY and COMPLETELY AGAINST the single-payor system, and that Breitbart and Drudge are on a propogandist mission!
Don’t try to trump up our Messiah by using mere facts and his own words…
Would Ted Kennedy be on the list today for care, if we had a single payer system?
He’s too old and too costly, so off the list, his name goes.
If the Feds were able to run our Medicare today in the black, AND
if the Feds were able to run our Highways today in the black, AND
if the Feds were able to run our Soc Sec today in the blank, AND
if the Feds were able to run our Governmt today in the black, AND
if the US tax payers were paying less taxes, I’d be in favor of expanding to a single payer system.
BUT THEY CAN’T! All of the entities above are BANKRUPT! My 401’s loss a lot, because
of the decisions that were made by idiots like Franks, Dobbs and Schumer! You can throw in Carter and Clinton too!
Fix the system first, before you expand or demand more from us.
Writer off the lake, Schools, libraries and mail delivery is not free. What color is the sky on your planet? I pay over $1,000 a year directly in school taxes even it has been over a dozen years since I had a child in school. Libraries are supported by taxes and the post office is supported by both postage fees and tax dollars.
A public health care system will only be free to the freeloaders. Tax payers like me will foot the bill for their care. Insurance reform? Yes. Make insurance portable, eliminate pre-existing conditions and allow insurance to operate on a national basis. Initiate tort reform and hold doctors personally accountable. Let medicare negotiate with drug companies.

If your mother is white and 65 or older, you might as well kiss her good bye if Obamacare becomes law. This is without a doubt the most corrupt president we have ever had…
Again, if the health care bill being proposed in Congress now is so great, why will Congress themselves NOT adopt that coverage?
It doesn’t get any simpler than that…
I am amazed at the people who are acting as if the longer version is different or changes the message in any way. He said he’s for single payer….which he now denies. Further, he goes on to talk about how he intends to get there after he takes back the senate, congress, and white house….which has happened. Next step….single payer. Both versions of the video, cut and uncut, lead to the same obvious conclusion. Just take the guy at his word. He is striving for single payer as an end goal.
When are the American people going to realize that we’re being occupied by those who do NOT represent the American people?
When are the American people going to realize that legally, we have a right to declare the current government null and void?
When are the American people going to rise up and take this country BACK from Washington?
When are the American people going to realize that ALL of congress needs to be handcuffed and lead out?
Let the arrests begin and the tribunals follow.
The time is approaching when Americans will be forced to take the necessary actions.
Once the pandemic hits this fall martial law will be declared. Once the guns are picked up, the battle to take it back begins.
Prepare now.

Sort of like how to the Reagan administration Osama BinLaden was a “freedom fighter”
but a few years later he’s public enemy #1 to the Bush administration. Republicans sure changed their mind about him.
Maybe they should cut Obama some slack for changing his mind on health care. Maybe single payer is an idea from the past that has come and gone. Sort of like WMD, there one year but gone the next. Do you people just hate Obama for no good reason or what?
What has happened to all of you to make you so incredibly blind?
Obama is not your enemy, you are your own worst enemies. Single payer healthcare is the only logical solution to covering the entire population of this country. Why is that such a problem for you people to understand?
Insurance companies make profit, which raises the cost of insurance. Insurance corporations deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions to maximize profits. Insurance is just an expensive piece of paper, It only has value when it is actually needed. When insurance companies cherry pick their customers, they are simply maximizing profit again. Don’t you get that? Is that so hard to understand?
How do you idiots function in life? You certainly can’t see the facts in front of you. What happened to the home of the brave? You are all afraid of change. You are so afraid, you make me sick. You are cowards, not americans. You are lemmings. I know you don’t know what a lemming is, so why don’t you look it up. Sorry, I forgot, you can’t think for yourselves. Call Rush Limbaugh, and ask him what you should be afraid of today. He’ll tell you. He really cares about you. No, really, he does.

Interesting given the fact that a single payer socialized system is EXACTLY what the vast majority of the American people want. What the f–k is wrong with you brainless conservatives? ALL the progressive nations of the world are leaving the backward United States in the dust. Keep up your stubborn, stupid UN-American resistance and we will crush you into the mud.
It is a shame that the majority of the writers on this blog are racists, idiots, right of righters who believe that Obama was born in Kenya, with the production of a fake birth certificate.
It is unfortunate that you idiots think that HEALTHCARE REFORM, that has YET to become a bill because the Senate has NOT yet agreeded on a bill, and the House and Senate BIlls must go to conference to be melded.
It is unformtunate that you believe President Obama is a socialist, then I suggest that you get rid of Social Security that was introduced by FDR, and that you eliminate Medicare that was introduced by Johnson which are the two biggest socialist programs we have, which NO one wants to get rid of..
When people are ideologs and racists, they will cut off their noses to spite their faces.
Which are some of the best run government programs, SS, MC, Vet etc…too bad you lame heads do not know the difference between a single payer system than a NON-Single Payere System. Do you work for the Health industry????
Beware seniors: Obamacare = Soylent Green.
When someone puts forward an idea, their is always an end game, a goal in the future. Obamas goal is for single payer service. Now in order to sell this to the American public they will say whatever is expedient to get their end goal. So Obama says at this point that you can keep your insurance and only evil rich people (evil because they make too much money)will pay for everyone else. These are false premises but their goal is the end game. Just like his campaign promises it is all smoke and mirrors.
Wake up America a liar fights back by demonizing their opponent so they don’t look so bad, and today the white house fights back against drudge and breitbart for simply stating the facts. too telling……. wake up
david blimmo August 4th, 2009 – 3:27 pm – you are a monumental fool who is starry eyed and in love with “Your Messiah”
There isn’t a succesful Socialist Healthcare system EVER! And no – the majority of Americans DO NOT WANT SINGLE PAYER!
This is nothing more than a power grab by the elites in Washington – if it’s so good then why not abolish the Politicians Healthcare system for them and their families?
Make them use this BOONDOGGLE! And “Your Messiah” has a doctor that travels with him – why not make him get in line like he wants the rest of us to do?
You David are simply CLUELESS and your children should kick your bottom for what you want for their futures!

Why on MSNBC do they post a trancript purported to show Obama has no intent on the single payer system? How is it that I watch a video, and the transcript shows something else? I am not in favor on Obama, however, I would like to know what I am watching or reading is true. Can someone find the true transcipts of this event?
Obama’s anti-Old age euthanasia Health care…appears to be part of his LOGUN’s RUN black liberation theology stealth revolution.
In other words, Kill off the older white people since Blacks are younger on average, and since older whites tend towards conservatism and true Christianity (where Christianity transcends race). Obama’s black liberation theology cult believes God only chose black people (the true Jews) and those whites who embrace their black liberation beliefs where Jesus was a black man to set the blacks free from white oppression.
“There are 35 million African Americans in the United States comprising 12.7% of the total population. This population segment is expected to grow nearly twice as fast as the rest of the population over the next fifty years. The median age of African Americans is 30, nearly six years younger than the median age of the total population.”

YOUR MESSIAH Obama criticized pork barrel spending in the form of ‘earmarks,’ urging changes in the way that Congress adopts the spending proposals. Then he signed a spending bill that contains nearly 9,000 of them, some that members of his own staff shoved in last year when they were still members of Congress. ‘Let there be no doubt, this piece of legislation must mark an end to the old way of doing business, and the beginning of a new era of responsibility and accountability,’ Obama said.
OBAMA IS A LIAR, A HATER OF AMERICA, A RACIST AND A COMMUNIST…
AND YOU ARE USEFUL IDIOTS. When you are no longer useful, you’ll be obsolete. OB(ama)SOLETE!!
JKL,
You had better reread BringBackBushes comment it the context of other statements by the far right bloggers. This isn’t the first time that I have heard this and they (and he) are not being facetious. They actually don’t know that Medicare is a government run program. This is in line with the lie that Obama’s plan is geared to “letting old folks die” that talk radio hacks are trumpeting in an attempt to frighten retirees.
You may want to mention that one reason that Medicare and Social Security is “bankrupt” right now is because Mr. Bush had to borrow from them to pay for his tax cuts and an unnecessary war in Iraq. And get over your “unborn” nonsense. If you want to pray, then knock yourself out but your religious beliefs are really of no consequence in this discussion.
“Testing” Gov’t Run Health Care

watch it to the end lol
Single payer is an intentionally misleading term. The payers are many. The payers are the top 50% of wage earners who payer nearly 100% of the taxes. That’s hardly single payer. The only way it works is to ration health care. That means you wait… and wait… and wait… and hopefully don’t die while you wait. And grandma and grandpa? obama thinks they are not worth the investment. This is bad for our country. It maybe good for a country like Kenya… but it is bad for the country the whole world comes to when they can’t get the level of care they want in their country.
Hey barry soetoro… where is your birth certificate?

“liberal,” “gray,” “david blimmo,” and “mightylou”: Read a book. You labor over your conclusions but completely neglect your premise. You cannot find one shred of evidence to support your stand. You are young + gullible. And the only cure for that, save for life experience, is to read a book. Start with Sowell.
If we don’t get voter ID laws and get rid of the likes of ACORN our next elections will look alot like Iran and Venesuela. Don’t believe me? Look how the dems responded to the rigged election and the violent supression afterward in Iran . Also ACORN was so mired in acusations of fraud that they changed thier name and still get cash.

Here is an article quoting Obamination from both 2003 and 2007 stating he wants to eliminate private insurance…..
I don’t understand what is the big deal about this clip? Obama has always said he was for single payer, he just said that given the system that we have today, converting to a single payer system wouldn’t be wise. Here is a page from his website that was from the primaries when he was fighting it out with Hillary.
http://www.barackobama.com/factcheck/2008/01/05/fact_check_obama_consistent_in.php
He clearly states that he supports single payer, but he doesn’t believe we should make such a fundamental change. Where is the gotcha in that?

The arrogance of the left is astounding.

You suggest these children read? They’ve not been taught to read — or especially, to think, THINK for themselves. For example:
“There is no doubt that we’ve been living beyond our means and we’re going to have to make some adjustments.” so said Jesus Obama during the campaign.
Nonetheless, this year’s budget deficit tops = $1.5 trillion!!!!!!

I submit to you that any disparaging remarks in these comments were only created by people “recruited by the Insurance Companies”. It’s obvious that none of these people are speaking of their own free will, I can tell by their unwillingness to just forget what they heard last year, or in 2003.
Maybe tonight on ABC, CBS, and (MS)NBC we’re see a pocket watch being waved back and forth, with Obama’s voice in the background “You feel sleepy; You only thought you heard me say that; it never happened”.

Simple formula to determine if you will be better off/ worse off under Obamacare:
Do you have health insurance today?
If you answered yes, you’ll be worse off. If you answered no, you’ll be better off.
Jesse,
I want you on my jury after I rob a bank.
Now they’ll say – but that was in 2003, his views have changed and now he’s willing to compromise – stop taking what he said long ago and applying that to what he wants to do now.
They can’t be convinced… we need a blue dress for this guy to prove he’s a liar.
Dear mightylou. I just became eligible for SS last week. I am now 62 and have reported income every year since I was 16. If the government gives me back all my contributions and my employers contributions at the average compounded T bill rate for the past 46 years, will gladly give up my eligibility.
This will triple my monthly check and still leave millions for my heirs instead of the $255 burial benefit from social security. Plus I will be assured that my retirement income is not going to run out funds. Wake up, social security is not a good investment for people like me.

“Thanks for putting his comments in context Breitbart.”
Still staying the same thing. Single payer means government run healthcare for all. Single as in, no other
options but the government plan. It’s just the progressive code / double speak
for it (ah la fairness doctrine being code for censorship). Then again, for the leftist apologists, its enough
for deniability I guess. Then again, the public seems to be catching on… whew…
I remember back in 1996 when Bill Clinton used a commercial over and over again where Newt Gingrich called for Medicare to “. . . whither on the vine.” Newt never actually used the word “Medicare”. But Clinton used those 4 words, taken out of context, over and over again in ad after ad.
Yet now, when Obama clearly says “I support single payer”, it’s, ahem, ‘out of context’.
Someday, I may actually meet a liberal who isn’t a hypocrite. Someday . . .

Find the quote… aside from some conspiracy website… doesn’t exist. Not only that, we never aided him or
Arab groups in that war… its just more progressive made up nonsense… that and government run systems save
money while providing good service…
Obama is THE worst welfare recipient ever! Not only does he draw a check from us, but then presumes to tell us how to live. He should just spend more time having babies so his timed will be used up with that.
I think I can be persuaded to go along with the President if he promises me a government voucher to my surviving family for a new suit and tie for me.
They are asking for links to misinformation on health care reform. I send them their own link with LInda Douglas.

Every congress and president has stolen the money from them… but thats not even the argument as to why they’re
‘bankrupt’. They’re considered bankrupt because even if we count the IOUs for the stolen money, they’ll still
be insolvent in 2021ish. The minute they became middle class entitlements, they were on the road to failure.

- hitler destroyed one of his own buildings, blaming it on others in order to go into war to boost the economy.
- afterwards, he introduced his own patriot act and homeland security, effectively removing many freedoms that the germans had enjoyed in the name of “security”.
Here’s a thought. Why not post the same video where Obama said: “My commitment is to make sure there is universal health care for ALL AMERICANS by the end of my first term as president.”
“I would hope that we could set up a system that allows those who can go through their employer, to access a federal system or a state system of some sort.”
“But I don’t think we’re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There’s going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out…”

If this Country don’t rally together, we’re doomed. The fishbate that’s running the Country, Polosi, Reid, Boxer, Fienstine Kennedy, Emanuel, Axlerod and other far left socialist taking the Country away from the will of the people and putting in their own agenda. The whole of congress needs to be replaced. They don’t do anything for the people they are supposed to represent. They work for the special interest groups and lobbies. They are packing their pockets with kickback and favors and we elected them. They have the best retirement plan in the world. They don’t pay into Social Security and they don’t use Medicare. Yet, they control every aspect of our lives with no consequences. This isn’t right.
Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) has proposed an
amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us (under the proposed legislation they are curiously exempt). Go on his Website and sign his petition (very simple -just first, last and email) http://fleming.house.gov/ If Congress forces this on the American people, the Congressmen should have to accept the same level of health care for themselves and their families. Scroll down on the website until you see: Express Your Opinion
I wish we could get to a single payor plan. My insurance sucks! I pay good
money for my lousey insurance. The insurance companys don’t give a rats blank
for my health. They are in it for the bottom line $$$ and that is it.
That’s from six years ago. There is a *chance* he may have changed his mind.
Absolutely agree with Airwick..we would not be bankrupt in this country if we had not spent billions on the illegal war in Iraq, and stolen from Medicare and SS to pay for it!
More relevant to the current proposals are the clips from June & July 2009 that the White House posted. Digging back SIX years is irrelevant. Sorry, but that’s not even a nice try. Single payer, or a non-profit plan as an option to what we now have is what I’d like to see. It’s a good idea. So sad it is being opposed by the big corporation with big bucks to spend on media buys and donations to Senators and Representatives.
FreeThinkingRedneck,
And that, my friend, is precisely the problem. We need health care reform. The question is not, “if”, but, “how”. I have no problem with anyone who legitimately dislikes Obama’s plan but come up with something to fix the mess that we have now or shut up!.

You will not here this from the democrats in congress.
Lines, lines, waiting, waiting, waiting, delays, more lines, runarounds, waiting, and even more lines, waiting, and delays. You’ll ask why it’s taking so long, and will be told “ask the government.” Nationalized healthcare. It’s gonna be fun!
JMD – under the proposed House Bill if you lose your job or change jobs you are required to go on the Public Plan – you can keep what you have is literal
Pardon me for believing my own eyes … I’ll believe you.
Obama caught in another lie. Even though he knows his ultimate goal is a socialst healthcare system, he can still stand in front of the American people and say his plan is not single payer. Isn’t one of the ten commnadments “Though shalt not bear false witness???” I knew this socialist was never a Christian.
FreethinkingRedneck – go find another insurance carrier – if you are not happy let your money go to another company but do not delude yourself into thinking a government program will solve your problems – they stink…Medicare pays little and the first 25 cents of every dollar is nothing but WASTE..and they don’t approve every claim that comes their way either…I am fighting Medicare now over a claim of my Mother’s..and the VA has claims backed up for decades, check out a Legionairre’s magazine for the stories of some vets who have had to fight for claims for battle related injuries…
Civil, Human and women’s rights…..As a young, legally discriminated against, white male I have had enough. This piece of sh* t country and the western world in general, can all drop dead. No more Mr nice guy, you losers.
we do not want your national free clinic obama! shove it where the sun dont shine!
So THIS is where all you guys hang out. Anyone dare speak reason (e.g. Jesse – poor sod!) and he is castigated as one who pisses down another’s back and says it’s raining.
Change is tough, folks, easier to go with the devil you know et al. But regardless of your sources, the overwhelming majority of citizens in this country want healthcare reform AND a significant majority want single payer. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do (I don’t think our Christian God cares whether someone is a crack baby or a CEO, know what I mean??). A healthy society is a wealthy society.
Good luck to you guys.
And as far as what the our dipSh *t president says. Wtf do you expect from a complete 1/2 black 1/2 white moron, comme, socialist, Che loving fool.
Who said it?? All the haters will soon be blowing there elitist horns
“One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people
has been by way of medicine. Its very easy to disguise a medical program
as a humanitarian project”
This sounds really familiar. The liberals love to say how it is our “Moral”
obligation.
One blogger referred to Obama as a Marxist. His right-wing critics are fascists..I agree with Obama on health insurance. The private health insurance companies are a bunch of parasites performing a service which could be performed cheaper, fairer and more efficiently by the government.
He was for it before he was against it.
Obama: There’ flip-flop and then there’s just plain flop.
The WH argument was that it was taken out of context, not that it was was 6 years old. Here it is in full context and seems even worse than the cut version. They can’t now argue that his position has changed, or else they would have led with that instead of going the ‘out of context’ route. Dug their own grave on this one. There is NO way to spin it positive at this point. EPIC FAIL.
obama? oh bummer i wasted a vote. you know i’m really starting to regret voting for him in the past election
You CAN’T spell Liberalism without L-I-E-S
Totally out of context! In the next sentence after the clip stops Obama does a “Sotomayor” and says “I know I shouldn’t be saying that because I don’t really mean it but…
29 yrs old and never have paid attention to politics……you don’t have to know anything about it to see we’re pretty much f’d. My kids won’t be able to afford to pay attention to it. If it cost a dime to shi* they’ll have to puke. Thanks Godama.
Oh Forget Past Rhetoric on Health Care…
Just focus on what President Barack Obama and Democrats are saying now, right? That’s what they’d like us to do, forget their past rhetoric as they ramrod a health care bill, that many members of Congress have no intention on reading, through…
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha,…….It sure sucks to be you right wing wackjobs! LOSERS!
This is just an incredible thing to see. So much venom spit at a President who wants to bring more health and happiness to a nation. Not one reasoned post about what’s actually being proposed, just spewing of ignorance, misrepresentation and terms they don’t really understand, like the noise of children in a schoolyard. Incredible.
It is so amazing to listen to the Godless, liberal demon rats; oh, excuse me,
democrats. I really do say this in love to you because you really do not know
where you stand. We can see right through you. You all have no wisdom because
of your spiritual condition….Godless that is. No respect for the God Blessed
United States of America because of our many God fearing (honoring) founding
Fathers who desired to keep Government out of churches, not churches out of
Government. God is the same yesterday, today and forever!
That is why America is (or should I say was) unique guys. You liberal/dems are
what the Word says, are blind and not able to appreciate this. No other country
on the face of the earth has accomplished so much in so short a period of time!
None, no not one!
Freedom is from God! Socialism is the default position of any country whose
people do not acknowledge nor seek God. American has been a liberating Country
to many oppressed peoples of the Earth, so why are you not able to see that?
The Truth of God’s Word says that the beginning of Wisdom is the Word of God.
Since I can tell none of you liberal/dems have any, would all of you be willing
to admit here that you are indeed Godless? You know it is true.
One last thing to the liberal/dems. I challenge you to go to a web site “heaven and hell
testimonies” (just type in search block, it will pull up); and please take your
time to read and/or listen to at least 10 of them. You will see the common thread
through all of them that hell is no imaginary fantasy land (Jesus mentioned hell at
least 12 times) the people with the hell testimonies who came back to tell about it
all witnessed people being solitarily tormented in hell, and do you know what each
person in hell wanted most?
The only thing they wanted was ONE LAST CHANCE TO COME BACK TO THE EARTH TO REPENT
(turn from doing their sin(s) or doing wrong) AND SEEK THE ONE AND ONLY TRUE GOD
OF THE HOLY INSPIRED WORD OF GOD. THE HOLY BIBLE.
Remember the God of the Bible said: “LOVE YOUR ENEMIES!”
and the God of Islam says: “KILL YOUR ENEMIES!”
Guess which one lives through Satan?
PLEASE EVERYONE SEEK GOD!
PRAY FOR GODLY WISDOM FOR OUR PRESIDENT AND LEADERS IN WASHINGTON, D.C., THAT
THEY WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION FOR OUR COUNTRY, AND FOR OUR LEADERS ACROSS
OUR NATION, AND THE LEADERS IN OTHER NATIONS THAT THEY MAY COME TO KNOW GOD’S
WILL FOR THEIR LIVES, AND PRAY FOR PROTECTION FOR OUR COUNTRY FROM THE ENEMY AND
OUR COUNTRY WILL BE GREAT ONE MORE TIME BEFORE THE LORD RETURNS FOR HIS TRUE CHURCH!
TO ALL: ANYONE CAN BE A MEMBER OF THE TRUE CHURCH!
“What has happened to all of you to make you so incredibly blind?”
Have you given consideration to the possibility that the problem may not be everyone else?
“Single payer healthcare is the only logical solution to covering the entire population of this country. Why is that such a problem for you people to understand?”
You do realize of course, Obama and the democrats are caught in a lie here, right? Yesterday he says one thing, today he says another. He previously claims to support single payer, but now because he’s trying to deceive the American public, he’s claiming otherwise.
“Insurance companies make profit…”
and that’s good. Most businesses do. Businesses have to make a profit in order to pay their employees AND pay for the welfare of lazy bums who don’t want to work. Profit is not our enemy, it is our way of life. No one works for free and still has the ability to put food on the table for their family.
“How do you idiots function in life?”
Well, we wake up in the morning, take a shower, have a cup of coffee, put on our clothes, and we head out to work. We take pride in our work and we take pride in providing for ourselves.
We’re not like you. We don’t want a handout, we don’t need the government to coddle us and we don’t want the money we work so hard for being spent on the lazy dropouts who are unwilling to do their fair share in life. We take care of ourselves. That’s the American way.
Don’t like it, hop your big ass on a boat and head for Europe where you can mooch off the depleting welfare system there. Otherwise, stop your whining, get some education and most importantly, GET A JOB!
They cut out the part when Obama said; “just kidding.”
REGARDING LIBERAL’S USE OF THEOLOGY…
Happy, you’re reading the wrong bible, and got the wrong god. The Christian God of the Bible is not in favor of bearing false witness to get elected (never proving you were born in America), is not in favor of a powerful Caesar extorting money from citizens (stealing) for a plan that will do harm to the people, is not in favor of killing babies in the womb (murder), is not in favor racists (not even bl@ck racists), and is not in favor people who insight envy and covetousness (even against the rich). Every and all exhortations in the Bible regarding charity are for private citizens to (without letting the left hand know what the right hand is doing) care for each other, “especially the household of faith.” You libs can quote Marx all you want, but don’t think for one minute God approves of you almighty State. It was the early church that gave so much blood making the point that Christ is Lord, and not Caesar (where we get the term “czars” that B.O. is so fond of). And now YOU just bore false witness of Almighty God, and guess what? He’s not too fond of that either. Barry’s Black Liberation Theology is false, racist, and has more in common with Castro than Christ. It is exegetically untenable, rejected by both Catholics and Protestants, and has no place in the free society our founders envisioned and that so many have given their lives to defend. So you may want to consider taking your ideology somewhere it will be appreciated… like North Korea.
In 14 months we vote OUT these marxists from the House and Senate who REFUSE to listen to the American People and who are in lockstep with the Socialist who is intent on Government in EVERY part of our lives. I am currently living in the UK with plans to return to the US next year. I SEE socialism and government run healthcare. We DO NOT want this. It is ABSURD here. You wait and wait for mediocre care and God help you if you have a serious problem….several month wait for specialist care!!!!!!
Steve – Exactly what is being mirepresented?
The facts (and the videos) speak for themselves. Obama and the Democrats want a single-payer system. They are willing to wait and take small steps to get to their ultimate goal. This is how they bring about “change” that most people really do not want. A majority of people do not want a single-payer system, nor do they want a government option. Most people are happy with their insurance but agree that reform is needed. That’s reform not overhaul. This plan does not reform health care or health insurance. It does not make it more portable, unless you choose the government option. It does not do anything to reduce the overall costs of health insurance. And government is not the answer. They are NOT more efficient or better in any way. Have you been to the DMV lately?
There are some true reforms that could be implemented but the Democrats are not interested because those reforms give power back to the people and removes it from government. This plan takes choices away from the people and puts more power in the government’s hands. That’s not where it belongs and not where our founders wanted it.
I think that the Commander-of-Sheep speaks in a very straightforward and direct way in this video. Out of context my arse.
Uh-oh, Drudge is now in Obozo’s sight and he’s trying to minimize the web sites impact. Little does Obozo know that he has absolutely no control over the internet like he does with the MSM. He just drove Drudges hits up by roughly a million for today. Better luck next time Obozo.
How is America, 13 trillion in debt, the wealthiest country in the world?
“This is just an incredible thing to see. So much venom spit at a President who wants to bring more health and happiness to a nation”.
The guy who said this is a gullible moron.
How is it that anyone in this great country expects a free ride when it comes to health care? I retired from a job I had to pay into for health care. If you don’t have it then you did not work for it nor earn it. It is not fair to those who have worked all their lives to now have to support those who would rather buy toys or just plain refuse to be responsible for themselves and their families. Where did we change? This deal of cash for clunkers is another gimmick. Folks need to save and conserve their money. So now we pay for a new vehicle for some scum bag to ride to his free health care appointment that we the taxpayers fund!!
I have no confidence that universal health care will be defeated since the uninformed masses elected these idiots in the first place. They want Uncle Sugar to take care of them from cradle to grave because they aren’t capable of running their own lives, or accepting responsibility for their poor decisions.
See y’all on the gov’ment plantation.
I like the way the government wants us to have this healthcare BUT none of them will have it because it isn’t good enough for them, they think they are better then the citizens of the U.S. I hope more people wake up and realize what he is doing to this country, turning it into a socialist country, eventually all our rights will be taken from us, they believe we can’t make our own decisions, they must decide for everyone, WRONG! wake up America!!!!!!!!!!
The good news is that Grandma’s prescriptions will be covered 100%! The bad news is that all she’s going to get. When will they tell Grandma and Grandpa the truth? When will they be honest and tell Grandma and Grandpa that they are the inefficiencies int the system?

Hey writeroffthelake, mail delivery isn’t free. The other party puts a stamp on the envelope. Try again.
Plus, none of those things you mention are free. It all comes from tax money.
When you get out of high school, you’ll be introduced to the wonderful tax system that your parents are shielding you from now.
—
Hey Tim Kirk you foolish a$$ clown, how do you think your insurance will be paid? Just like all those things you decided to reply about, the taxes your parents are shielding you from now.
All you idiots should get a nice big fat bill the next time you need the police, or the fire department, a book from the library, trash removal, or any of the other “socialist” government run programs that you ALL use and love.
Wait, I just defeated every single argument here.
That was just way too easy.
Fools.
Waiving hands in the air “THE SKY .. IT BE FALLIN MAW! GIT MI GUN! DEM DAM LIBS AINT GONNA MAKE MI LIFE NO GOODER WITH NO DAM SOCIALISMISTICLIKE HEALTH CARE! SOCIALISTS! COMMIES! THEMS COMMUNISTIC FAWKERS HATES GAWD AND KILLS DEIR BABES WHAT ABOUT DEH BABES?”
i think the red sirens are going off in the minds of most americans the dangerous route this administarion is taking us. as of today. this admin has over 40 czars in the history we have never had so many. they are not checked by congress. thay answer to obama only. there specific job is to handle what ever they check. such as healthcare, banks, taxes, census which worries me the most as that person is from acorn. this is a soviet type goverment that checks into these items for the premier. the main fear is no one knows what they are doing. congress for sure but they never know what goes on in real life.
To the people that think you get better care here, no. Cubans get better care than we do. GOOGLE IT. If you don’t like this country, f..king move. That’s what a real republican would do, he’d tap a few times under the stall and when he didn’t get his …. …… he would go to another bathroom. What, there are no other countries? Then maybe you are f..king wrong!
Good insurance, WHAT?! My insurance company recently decided not to pay for my required meds making me take something that doesn’t work. My doctor can’t do anything about it because the insurance companies make the rules!
Now if I want the other meds I get to pay full price. Yep, best health care in the world!
The cost of those meds alone is a hell of a lot more than a “socialist” health care tax.
So f..k all of you.
Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Unbridled greed has brought us to the point we are at now, another banana republic forced to print money to stay afloat financially. What is it about the health care system we have in place now that you don’t understand? Insurance companies spending a fortune trying to deny benefits and making most doctors’ lives hell with their insane paperwork requirements, all the while walking away with 30% of the health care dollar? They don’t improve patient care, they just profit from it. Pharmaceutical companies whose advertising budgets far exceed their research budgets? All those shiny faced young representatives that they send around to doctor’s offices offering everything except actual sex for prescribing the latest overpriced wonder drug (no better than the generic drug you can buy at Walmart for $5.) Physicians preforming one expensive procedure after another trying to undo the effects of a lifetime of unhealthy living rather than concentrating on prevention? Hospitals forced to cost shift, overcharging those who have good insurance in order to treat those who don’t? An emergency medical system that is on the verge of bankruptcy? An elder care program that is virtually bankrupt? Disabled children and adults who cannot obtain medical care at all? Most of us are only one illness away from bankruptcy (look at the limits on that great insurance plan you have.)Where is the good in this system that you so mindlessly defend? I have been a physician for 30 some years, and I don’t see it. It might have been there a quarter of a century ago, but now it is nothing but an orgy of greed with the devil take the hindmost as it’s motto.

You don’t let anyone that disagrees with the reds post, it’s clear now that you’ve deleted TWO of my comments.
I bet you delete this one too.
Hey Linda Douglas – what is your response to this uncut version? Looks like you are having to eat your words.
I don’t get it. So what is it that you on the left don’t believe that he said? Are you for single payer socialist health care or not? Are you against socialism or for it? If you were to find out that he really did mean to put private health care companies out of business, would you be shocked or is that what you want?
I don’t understand how you can listen to him speak and think that “that is not what he meant”. Guess it depends on what words the like “single payer universal health care program”, “everybody in, nobody out” and “But I don’t think we are going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately” means.
I guess if you are a liberal… infatuated with Obama. When he says something his words are designed so that you can interpret it any way you want except taking what he said for face value. Is there some higher meaning there that I don’t see?
I want a bill for fire, police, trash, sewer, and all of the other socialist stuff that I get taxed for.
I love my $2,000 a night hospital bills and my 20% co-pays! I love capitalism so much that I can’t stand to have good healthcare like they do in Canada, Cuba, and the UK. I don’t know why we are #32 on the list of best healthcare in the world, we rock!
I can’t wait to pay my $200 so I can get the meds that my insurance company doesn’t think I need, they know more than my doctor anyway!
That’s right, call me mr republican!

So get over it, your party destroyed our country, and now you are conveniently blaming the other side for it.
You had the chance to increase regulation, 8 years of chances to fix fannie and freddie, but guess what. YOU DIDN’T! You focused on lowering taxes for the rich, and doing nothing to improve life for everyone else.
I seem to remember John McCain the man that I almost voted for talk out both sides of his mouth. I saw his running mate lie cheat and lie some more to push her agenda, then when the job got tough she quit!
Now you rant and rave about killing babies, socialism, communism, and everything else you don’t believe in, yet you have no issue when YOUR party wants to amend the constitution. YES YOUR PARTY talked about changing MY CONSTITUTION so two men couldn’t get married!
The very same party that had how many stall taping incidents?
Right, that’s why you lost and will keep losing.
Don’t like it, move. Stay out of my life, and maybe you’ll win an election. Until then, I’m all for socializing insurance. Just like I’m all for socializing trash, sewage, police, fire, libraries, city government, and pretty much all the other life necessities that we all take advantage of.
The emperor has no clothes, and BO’s little dingle berry is flapping in the wind for everyone to see.
I think the clip from 2003 is very relevent. This was before he was in real running for the presidency and when he was still saying what he really thinks without censorship to make sure he didn’t offend any of his big voting blocks, etc. I guess he and his crew thought his words would be forgotten. The truth is the man will say anything in order to get what he wants in the end. Once there is a healthcare bill (probably with few details in it) he can add and subtract almost anything he wants and find some way to justify it. This is the man who more or less says, “I was elected. Too bad for you.”
No taxation without representation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read the bill for yourself and then you will want to have a different type of conversation- is the piece of legislation he is trying to cram down our throats recent enough for you?
1. Read about his history, his life in chronological order (not the fluffy crap you see on TV)
2. Read his books.
3. Listen to all his speeches
4. Read Hr3200 and THEN, we will have a dialogue—if you still need it.
Look at some background info that prompted drudge to put this particular clip on here today-
Good luck to you.
Did you know that Cuba has better infant mortality rates because a child with a birth defect is aborted? Did you know that in the Netherlands the elderly carry notes to ask people to call an ambulance if they are injured in an accident because they will not receive CPR?
Do you know that if you are on Medicare now, it does not pay all your bills? Do you know that even if your doctor orders labwork, if Medicare does not see a diagnosis to justify it, you may get stuck paying the bill? Do you know that we enjoy the freedom to see specialists and can go to them if our insurance gives approval?Do you know that if you have no insurance, no one treats you any different in the hospital with regard to your ability to pay? In fact, the hospital tries to help you with its staff to obtain disability and Medicaid?
But, in the future, too few healthcare dollars, tighter budgets, hospitals go under because they rely on insurances, so they can accept Medicare and Medicaid patients..Less staff and faster discharges and sicker people going home and less help in the home..Sure elderly will be talked to by law about Living Wills. Right now you have the right to make a choice on Medical Power of attorneys and living wills.Wait until they mandate it. Name a medical power of attorney and let them decide when to quit to abide by your wishes. You do not want the doctors and nurses deciding it for you with a living will only.
Living Wills are incorrectly interpretted by a few uninformed staff as DNR.
Medicaid requires you to be disabled for one year, and it takes two years usually, unless you are on dialysis to get Medicare on disability.
If cheap insurance for labwork, well visits and outpatient preventive care were able to be purchased, healthcare would be affordable because diabetes, stroke and heart attacks would be prevented.Less people with kidney disease and on dialysis.More people getting medication.
People with insurance do not go to the doctor for well visits because they have to pay high deductibles.Flexible spending accounts do work.
To get Medicaid you have to be destitute.However, you get everthing covered.
This is unlike the person who worked and has Medicare who has a 20 percent co pay.
It is not all fair but we should care for the sick,poor, elderly and unborn. Should the government or should we as individuals through private entities and with the freedom to choose how to spenddown our healthcare dollars?
Thanks to “More than 50%”… now it get it….
There is plenty of money to fund any program that we want. We can spend all those filthy rich peoples money. I know the owner of the company that I work for has more than he can use. (Oops… where did my job and paycheck go?)
BTW… 50%… Fanny and Freddie were Bill Clinton’s kids. And the other companies were run by cronies of the left. Check your history… The Dems and the Acorn thugs were the ones that forced companies to give out loans to people based on there “appearance” not their ability to pay it back. Bush warned and feds tried to audit but were met at the door by some guy named “Barney Frank” (You know Barney don’t you? The guy who is a self admitted toe tapper.) saying that there wasn’t a problem there, no reason to worry.
So don’t try to lay that stuff on us that it was a “Republican” problem that it didn’t get fixed. That crap is right out of the left’s play book… Screw it up and blame it on the Repubs for not fixing it.
‘A World with no more politicians’ : wow, you have to get the prize for the most clueless post of this thread (and that’s quite a feat). Your name suggests you don’t want politicians, “taxation w/o representation” is a protest that you *don’t• have a politician to represent you, and ultimately you show no understanding of the phrase, because if you live in the U. S. you indeed have taxation with representation.
Bravo, sir. My hat is off to you for this impressive post.
This president has label anyone who opposes his bill as a agent of the insurance lobby funded by right wing groups and websites. Freedom of Speech and the Freedom to question our public official at townhalls are being banned by the Democratic Party. Too much bad press coverage and they flip the switch on a national discussion about health-care. We are now called mobs. This president has gone too far.
Astro-Turff? It is only grass-roots when the NYT says so backed by this administration. Austin Tx, Michigan, Wisconsin.. all these places. Now this president is stamping out public debate. Obama has stated he will not even read the bill but he will sign any healthcare bill that hits his desk …he will not even read it!
Gray wrote:
“What has happened to all of you to make you so incredibly blind?
Obama is not your enemy, you are your own worst enemies.”
Gray, we are not blind. We see quite well and what we are seeing, we do not like. Obama is my enemy. Any person who would work to abbrogate the Constitution and curtail my liberties is my enemy. The U.S. was formed as a Constitutional Republic where the people’s freedom’s were paramount and where intelligently regulated capitalism could thrive and provide opportunites for the people. Obama’s plans are inherently socialistic in nature and belie his socialist/Marxist leanings. The person who tries to turn my Constitutional Repuplic into a socialist country IS MY ENEMY.
“Single payer healthcare is the only logical solution to covering the entire population of this country. Why is that such a problem for you people to understand?”
No, single payer healthcare is not the only solution, nor is it even a logical solution. As many have already stated, the great majority of the nation enjoys very high quality and affordable healthcare. Only about 15% of the nation’s legal residents do not have health insurance and cannot afford it. From what we can discern from Obama’s health plan, most of these will not be covered. Instead of spending trillions of dollars we don’t have on a socialized plan that will not cover those that cannot afford coverage, perhaps we should focus our efforts on finding a way to cover that 15%, reduce costs through tort reform, and streamline and make more efficient the existing care model. If the plan that Obama is so desperately trying to push through is so great, why won’t congress even release it for review? Why is it that the Associated Press (among others) is having to submit a FOI request to get a copy of the plan recently approved by committee in the House and is still getting stonewalled? What is in the bill that the public isn’t being told?
“Insurance companies make profit, which raises the cost of insurance. Insurance corporations deny coverage for people with pre-existing conditions to maximize profits. Insurance is just an expensive piece of paper, It only has value when it is actually needed. When insurance companies cherry pick their customers, they are simply maximizing profit again. Don’t you get that? Is that so hard to understand?”
Insurance companies are businesses. However, making a profit has no causal effect on whether they raise their prices. They do often deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions, otherwise the business model would collapse and they would not be able to continue making a profit. That is a problem and there are remedies that can be put in place for those situations if Congress chose to do so. Your comments and apparent support for Obama’s plan seem to suggest you would rather ignore the actual problems in our healthcare system and create a system that has not chance of working, would be too expensive, excessively bureacratic and ultimately deprive Americans of the type of healthcare that the rest of the world envies. Is that so hard to understand??
“How do you idiots function in life? You certainly can’t see the facts in front of you. What happened to the home of the brave? You are all afraid of change. You are so afraid, you make me sick. You are cowards, not americans. You are lemmings. I know you don’t know what a lemming is, so why don’t you look it up. Sorry, I forgot, you can’t think for yourselves. Call Rush Limbaugh, and ask him what you should be afraid of today. He’ll tell you. He really cares about you. No, really, he does.
Idiots.”
Ah… we finally come to the favorite refuge of the unthinking liberal, the ad hominem personal attack. If I am so stupid, why is it that you are the one who cannot offer anything more than bumper sticker logic? If you are so smart, why are you the one supporting a plan that has not EVER worked in ANY country? Coward??? I’ve gone to war for my country as a US Marine and served my community as a police officer, and I stand up to trolls on the internet who would try to silence and ridicule me. And, so long as the White House is occupied by people who refuse to “let a crisis go to waste” and who continues to go on tv night after night using fear tactics to sell their latest socialist agenda item, perhaps you should dial back the BS about what we should be afraid of.

Interesting. Yesterday the White House went out of their way to condemn anyone who published, viewed, believed that Obama wasn’t looking to do away with private health care insurance. This video, UNCUT, makes it clear by his own words that such is exactly what he wants. “Everyone in, nobody out”. You can’t opt out and you will pay the bill for everyone else’s health care, like it or not, regardless. Seems Socialist, BY DEFINITION, to me. What part of this does anyone not understand? Further, Obama et al. LIED through their teeth yesterday denying what is viewable and hear-able right here right now. Do we now look at the sun, claim it’s the moon, and then all go along with it because Obama and the DNC says so?
Clearly, the American people do not want any government assistance with health care. Let’s blow away Medicare and pay all the cost of health care for our parents, grandparents etc. and let our kids take care of us in old age. That will show ‘em.
The health care bill will be decided by how the electorate reacts over the next 4-5 weeks during the congressional recess. Follow the debate and other critical health care items at http://www.ilovebenefits.wordpress.com
For generations, Americans have consistently stated that they do not trust government. Obama’s own pastor (Yes, that one… Rev. Wright) states that he believes crack was created and distributed by the gov’t in an effort to keep the black man down. This same reverend also states that he believes AIDS was greated by the gov’t in order to kill off black people. I dare any of you to find five people who say that they do in fact, blindly trust the government.
So, if none of us trust the government, why are so many of you so eager to put the gov’t in charge of so much??? Even if you trust the thieves in D.C. now, guess what, they won’t be there in the future.
The Obama healthcare plan will cost trillions of dollars and represents one of the largest transfers of power ever accomplished in that it transfers power from the citizens to the politicians. If you say that you trust Obama and his ilk and you’re okay with them having this kind of power, are you also okay with the next Republican president and/or Congress having that same power over you?
Change is not inherently bad. Change for the sake of change is, if not inherently bad, it is at least irresponsible when it is pursued with such vigor and haste. By trying to get a healthcare bill passed without allowing anyone an opportunity to study it to at least see if it will work, Obama is not only being irresponsible, he is behaving criminally.
ken
Goober, your comment is as infantile and sophmoric as your name implies. The current system needs to be improved to provide affordable health care to the 15% of Americans who do not have health insurance and cannot afford it. The Obama plan (and all other similar plans that have been proposed) does not address those 15% without insurance. If such a plan were to be passed and implemented, not only would the quality of healthcare plummet, but the cost would be such that many future generations of Americans would struggle to pay for it. Your kids wouldn’t be able to affort to take care of you in your old age simply because they would still be burdened with cost of this plan.
To all you libs out there, do yourself a favor and look at INDEPENDENT studies, stats, analysis and historical references. Try to do so without a bias. Be open minded about what you discover. Stop believing everything that the talking heads on tv tell you. You may be surprised by what you find.

You want to see Obama get caught in more lies, check out the Glenn Beck video celebrating Obama’s B-day. “Barack Obama’s Inspiring Life Story”. It’s great. Obama claims his mother and father crossed the bridge in Selma Alabama and then he was born. Funny thing is the Selma crossing wasn’t until 1965. It’s crazy I tell ya. Go to http://www.foxnews.com and see for yourself ACORNITES. I know you’ll love the story even though it makes fun of your messiah, at least you can adore the pictures of him.
Ken said,
“The person who tries to turn my Constitutional Repuplic into a socialist country IS MY ENEMY”
Obama is doing no such thing, which is why your vision is questioned.
Another comment that does not speak well for your eyesight:
“…the favorite refuge of the unthinking liberal, the ad hominem personal attack”.
The very page you posted on here shows that the ad hominem is a favorite device of the conservative and liberal alike, so characterizing it as a “liberal” behavior only shows a stark example of blindness to what’s in front of you. In fact, portraying the President as a socialist is really a veiled ad hominem itself, since he is nothing of the sort.
The way to learn the truth about Obamcare is simple. Call all of the members of Congress that represent you and ask them two questions.
Will they give up their health coverage for the new “Obamacare”?
If not, why not?
We will stop at nothing short of single-payer universal health care. Because health care for all (even for those of you who oppose it) is a RIGHT, not a privilege.
A human being’s health is not a commodity. Our health must stop being treated as a profit item for private insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, and the politicians who kowtow to private corporate interests.
Call it what you must socialism or communism, but single-payer universal health care, like our public police departments, public fire departments, and public benefits programs will only make our country stronger and safer.
Government-run health care NOW! And nothing less. The private insurance companies are raping you.
You (breitbart) and the Drudge Report should verify you have the facts correct and then sue Linda Douglass and the White House Office of Health Reform for libel. A libel suit would really get the news out that he wants to eliminate private insurance.
I have been thinking about this today. What I think Obama should have done is come out and said:
“Yes, I did say I wanted single payer system and that remains my preference. However, the American public has reservations about the cost of implementing it. I still want a Health Care solution. I am now working bi-partisan on a government option.”
I might not agree with the propsed idea, but frankly, I would respect it. Getting the staff to come out and say he did not say it, even though he says so it on tape, dis-credits Obama and disenfranchises those of us already skeptical.
Please no more touting we are the greatest economy on earth when we are trillions in debt and a growing deficit every day.
NATIONAL DEBT STATUS:
The estimated population of the United States is 306,675,527
so each citizen’s share of this debt is $37,998.01.
The National Debt has continued to increase an average of
$3.91 billion per day (more than most of our big companies make in a Quarter)
The Outstanding Public Debt as of 05 Aug 2009 at 01:40:32 AM GMT is:
11,653,061,801,432.23 (eleven Trillion)
The dirty little secret behind the afl-cio memebers cheering this is that as a payoff of their support, Obama will let them keep all that money that employers paid into their health and welfare funds while joe taxpayer will pick up the tab for their health insurance through his socialist health care debacle.
Barry is immune to his own quotes, remember?
He’s not racist… he just says racist things! He’s not socialist, either- he just believes in socializing everything.
Stop being so racist, everyone. I know it’s hard, as it’s bred into us, but we all need to try a little harder not to question King Barry.
Obama is a nagger!
What is appearing to get overlooked is that if this bill is passed the effective date is 2013, One year after the next Pres election – y yrs. from now. If it is so important that is get passed ASAP, why wait 4 years to impement it? Also, If it goes into affect in 2013, even if Obama is in his second term, he will never have to answerr to the voters.
C. Everett Koop said it best: with regards to health care you have three ideals-1. low cost 2. high quality and 3. access….Pick two. You can never have all three.
Obama is a paranoid racist operating under the delusional belief that America is about one thing: being unfair to blacks. This false belief is so powerful in him that he feels quite justified in lying, concealing, distorting, and extorting to accomplish his dreams of destroying America in mass racial revenge. He is a madman.
“So get over it, your party destroyed our country, and now you are conveniently blaming the other side for it.”
Wrong. Your party destroyed it and caused this meltdown. It was the democrats who refused to lift one finger, despite the Bush administration’s warnings (and John McCain for that matter) on Freddie/Fannie, which was the very cause last summer that started the financial meltdown.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hN31-nKndg8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFDlOzJGriI
This is the “great lie” by the liberal media. They refused to report this when this whole melt down started last year. Remember when it started? It was with the meltdown of Fannie and Freddie that was caused by the democrats, obama and acorn. Essentially, the America people were conned and voted in the very people who broke the back of America by demanding that Freddie/Fannie provide loans to those who were otherwise not qualified. Good ol’ democrats, always rewriting history.
Police, Fire, Water, Trash, etc are local/state issues, not federal. Water, Sewage and Trash are not socialism. Most pay for this service, I know I do.
Health care is not a right, it’s a desire/need and Obama’s proposal is to tax the rich and it looks like now, tax the middle class as well. When the middle class is all taxed out and no longer able to keep their mom/pop business open (which means more jobs lost), that “right” will cease to exist because it’s based upon taking from the rich and giving to the poor.
In “my” America, we were taught that you do your part in this country. You get off your ass, you get an education and you go out and get a good job or start your own business. I’m not interested in giving my hard earned money away to lazy bums who want to sit around and take the easy road in life while I’m out busting my ass to put food on the table. That’s not how it works.
So…if YOU don’t like doing YOUR part, pack YOUR bags and head off to Canada or Europe and mooch off their welfare programs. I hear their medical coverage is excellent. That’s why so many Americans go there for medical care /sarc
What we need in this country is a good ol’ honest liberal dewussification program.
There is nothing worse than a thief and a liar and that is exactly what we currently have in the White House. He is nothing but a thief and a liar and he seems to think the American people are too stupid to see thru his lies.
What the idiot fails to understand is that there are millions of people just like me who have studied his speeches and interviews from years past, therefore, we know what a liar he is. We studied this moron way before he was ever elected and that is the reason that we did not vote for this idiot. We had no doubt of what he would do if elected and now we all sit back and say, “we told you so” to those who were either too stupid or too lazy to do the research and argued without a shred of evidence to support their defense of this idiot. Now so many regret voting for this moron.
I am not part of a group, I am an individual who has yet to attend a tea party or any protests with regard to his protests but I am to the point where I feel like I want to be there to stand up for my rights. I see him for the socialist that he is and his ultimate goal of gaining reparations. Go back and read his history and the things that he has said in the past.
The man has no credibility left. He will be impotent after the 2010 elections.
Apparently he believes this crap since he is the original “Community Organizer.” The king of staging protests and backing people into a corner and forcing them to do what he wants. The great teacher himself who doesn’t understand that his little ACORN pales in comparison to the millions of American citizens who will stand strong (as one) against his socialistic policies. He underestimates the American people.
Have you noticed that he accomplished all his goals in such a short time. He is playing Hitler’s Book, Look Out America all that is left is a major crisis most likely a war or Virus vaccines remember the 70’s.
i came from a socialist country( not anymore!) and it was obvious to me what was happening there:
all people (or is it pigs?) are equal but
some people are more equal than others
i am just so sad that many, right here right now, are blinded by the guilt and ideals/ideas that already proved not to be working
For starters, the United States is no longer the wealthiest country in the history of the world. Only the poor covetous think that way because they are wanting to use their vote to rip off other people. In reality, the United States is the poorest country in the history of the world because it has ten thousand times more debt than any other country in history, courtasy of the wealfair mother who has made a career out of having illegitimate children for the purpose of maximizing her government check in addition to every other lazy Son of a Bltch who refused to work but wanted to use his vote to get a free hand out to be paid for by future generations… or by creating a debt that would destroy the country.
Buckofama
I’d like to see single payer health care as well. Unfortunately we have too many misguided paranoids who almost schizophrenically equate universal health care with communism. They still play the old Ronald Reagan propaganda album that warns of “socialized medicine” as the first step to gulags. They are the same people who believe Ronald Reagan lowered taxes.
Looking at the comments from liberals ,Jesse, Jeremy H, and Gray really shows me that there is no alternative but to settle the differences between liberalism and conservatism with “force of arms”. What if Obama does not meet the qualifications as President, this may force the issue – because he will have to be removed. On the other hand, if Obama is truly qualified, he and the Democratic liberal allies transforming our country into a socialist state demonstrates that the they are domestic enemies of the Constitution and must be dealt with accordingly. I know this troubles the sensibilities of most people, but do we allow these “Statists” to change the fundamental structure of the Republic into a Socialist/Marxist State? Yes, I would like to see them stopped peacefully, but I don’t see them backing down through protest, tea parties, and redress of grievances any more than Lord North did. At some point we will need to have our “Lexington Green” confrontation Only a fool would want this to happen, but only a fool would want to live in a socialist state. So at what point should “free men stand between their loved homes and war’s desolation.”
Jack I hope you are not too dense too remember who created that debt.
This video is being misrepresented. 20 seconds into the video you can clearly see that his fingers are crossed. Therefore, nothing he said can be counted or used against him.
Nice try guys, but when you clip out that crucial frame, the whole thing loses its meaning.
Clearly, another disinformation campaign by a few troublemakers.
Oh my, Joel, you crazy!
It is a small mind indeed that cannot compete in the realm of ideas and civility, and sees no recourse but violence to force its beliefs on others.
Please please PLEASE keep posting stuff like this, it will go a long way toward helping reasonable people choose the liberal path, where the Constitution is respected at the same time that we do not allow our fellow countrymen to suffer without medical assistance when they need it.
Bless you, you poor man.
What we need in this country is a good ol’ honest liberal dewussification program.

You don’t have the balls son.
He’s using the presidency as a thinly-veiled reparition effort. That it sooo obvious, and it’s what i said when Hillary was out of the picture and I knew this libtard would get elected.
“You don’t have the balls son.”
Those balls are showing up at town halls around the country, were the lazy welfare “gimme” generation like yourself are running scared.
Don’t be so quick to call others “son,” boy. I was serving my country while you were still breast feeding.
We are so gonna get screwed by this guy and his government. Hey, wait, yeah, it’s all his. He’s gonna teach us a valuable lesson about wasting money, time and lives when his healthcare plan passes. Yup, we’re hosed.
Not only do we need to let these morons know where we stand on this
healthcare debacle, we also need to let them know that they won’t have their
jobs in 2010 if they pass this.
HughGKnutts, now YOU are making an unfair assumption. Remember that you’re talking to a lib, it is therefore quite possible — given the moral and sexual degeneracy among them — that his mum is still feeding him. Just sayin’ ;)
The layers are being stripped away from this Marxist Community Organizer, bit by bit. He is a proven LIAR and cannot be trusted to tell the truth about his agenda for our country. As a “citizen of the world” this man has no allegiance to this great land we call the United States of America. As a member of Rev. Wright’s racist, America-Hating “church,” he has no love for our history or our Constitution that was hammered out by the genius’s who were our Founding Fathers. He sees America as something to be apologized for and “changed” He underestimates the love we have for our great country and the FREEDOMS we have enjoyed for over 200 years. He underestimates our will to fight for those FREEDOMS. I feel almost sorry for the empty suit that is our President. He may be a citizen of the world, but he has lost the United States and her citizens. Vote this man OUT in 2012 and send him back to Chicago. Good riddance. This is NOT the change we can believe in! Socialism has failed across the globe and will not be accepted by the people of this country without a fight.
This video demonstrates the truth that no one will admit, including the press.
It is simple business rule, if you undercut private business, they go out of business.
Liberals hate when Walmart comes into a small town and drives the locals out
of business, well, the same will happen with intoducing single payer healthcare
undercuts all of the companies providing insurance. The end-game is government
healthcare where everyone gets the same level of treatment, regardless of their
contribution to this society or economy.
Healthcare reform needs to focus on controling costs first and then look at
expanding coverage. Dont people realize this country is bankrupt and cant pay to
give away more free stuff??? How come no one talks about expanding
healthcare for illegal aliens? That is because they wont illegal much longer.
My respentatives in Congress will never listen to me here in California (Pelosi,
Boxer, and Feinstein), but they still get letters every day oppossing this 1,000
page mess than no one really understands.
From the ideology that brought you gay marriage, failed public schools, the welfare state, abortion on demand, high taxes, out of control spending, political correctness, countless lawsuits against the first amendment, infringement on the second amendment, union thugs, class warfare, lame red-neck stereotypes, race baiting, foul Hollywood movies, affirmative action, the global warming hoax, pacifism, hippies, unsecure borders, Sandy Bergler, Vince Foster, reset buttons, unread legislation, stained dresses, the first president not born in America, Liberation Theology, world apology tour, 57 States, jokes about raping Sara Palin’s daughter, the MSM, ACORN, etc. I give you…
Socialism!
As much as it scares me I hope the dens pass this..It will be the best arguments for term limits ever….It will also ensure that any one running against them with a promise of rescinding it a landslide win and will make BO a lame duck president
I think this is about as much prove as is needed to prove the trojan horse approach to single payer health care. No one can doubt his true intentions! http://cooperscopy.blogspot.com/
Every move this president makes is intended to dismantle all that is great and admirable about this country, and the reason why everybody from every corner of the earth wants to live here.. http://cooperscopy.blogspot.com/
I called into my congressman’s office today to get some answers on the health care bill.
It turned into my own little mini 55-minutes Town Hall with one of his aids – I recorded it and I posted it on YouTube.
Here’s the video broken up into 6 clips:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fPrgAuL0KM
When faced with polls showing 72% approval ratings for our current insurance system and Obama’s vows in 2007 to destroy the insurance system, and Nancy Pelosi’s attacks on our insurers, the aid called our health care system “good”.
Here’s the John Stossel video that I mention on the failure of universal health care in England and Canada:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gdx_2cuPgQQ
From Canadian lotteries for health care to do-it-yourself dentistry in England this video is an eye opener.
People die from cancer 18% more often in Canada.
I’m worried about my grandfather. He’s 90 and still vital with a profitable business. But he nearly lost his sight recently and the difference was timely advanced treatment.
Talk Soon,
Mike Long
P.S. Here’s a link to the Washington phone numbers of every single congressman:
Wow, my head literally hurts from reading most of the liberal posts. I haven’t seen one liberal response as to why this “health insurance reform” (as its been renamed to so as to poll better) with a proposed single payer system (yes, that’s what it is, call it OPTION if you want to) is the end all be all of solutions. Is healthcare a constitutional right? And if so why is that now more important than any other right we’re entitled to under the Constitution. Don’t we have the right to freedom of speach? Then why is the left-wing media portraying these town meetings as organized mobs because they tend to disagree and are passionate about it? Explain to me here in FL how most of these liberal congressional representatives from CA, a state that is BANKRUPT and is having to cut all the FREE “socialized” services you all yammer for, ala education, welfare, and medical care, are in any way, shape, or form a REPRESENTATIVE of the entire country and qualified to ram this stuff down my throat. They can’t even run their own state in the black.
I honestly believe that this country is made up of 10% straight out ideologic left wingers, 10% straight out ideologic right wingers, but the rest are usually either middle, left or right of middle. Its that 80% that are beginning to wake up and are staying WTF!?! is going on in this country. I mean if you liberals think those scumbags (Dem and Rep) in Washington are there in your best interests please pass the bong. They aren’t leading this country into some sort of socialistic utopia you think they are. Its heading straight for the HAVES and HAVE NOTS. Guess what…you liberals along with the rest of us are gonna be HAVE NOTS. I mean these people in Washington literally believe that we are like children and should be treated as such because we don’t know what’s good for us.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Maybe its because I paid attention in economics and math class but the numbers of this proposed health reform bill just do not add up. How can our current healthcare system possibly support 40 million (+/- on this number as you see fit) more people with no beefing up of the system’s infrastructure, ala more doctors, nurses, hospitals, etc. I mean if you have to go to the emergency now you have to wait hours upon end…what’s gonna happen when you dump even more people into the system? Oh wait, under the proposed bill we’ll all have PCP’s. But if we don’t get a sudden influx of physicians to offset the influx of new patients we’re back to the waiting game. This is a primary problem in a lot of current socialized health systems around the world.
Another problem I have is a direct relation to Medicare (a current gov’t run program). People using Medicare tend to believe its free to use and thus tend to abuse, going to see physicians for every little thing, unnecessarily. Now multiply that by a single payer system and you see that it is an unsustainable system WITHOUT rationing or major taxing. This is where all the theories about euthinasia, state funded abortions, rationing of care, etc. come about. Its a hell of a lot cheaper to abort a fetus thats unwanted than to potentially pay for another body during the course of a lifetime, as it is cheaper to ration care for end-of-lifers. Medicare is headed for bankruptcy (ya, every administration has put their hand in the cookie jar for funds here) real fast. There are more people drawing from it than was intended…people living longer due to better healthcare (gee, imagine that).
Look, I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn’t think some sort of reform is needed. I’ve said it for years as I’ve watched my premiums double over the years. Unfortunately, trying to ram something down the throats of most Americans without any real sense of what the bill says is just bad politics. Americans are getting sick of these bills getting ramrodded through Congress without being read.
And why is there NO mention of tort reform in this bill or at least any prevalent mention of it. I mean the Democrats want me to believe that the insurance companies are “evil”, yet every lawyer who files another ludicrous law suit is not?!? Last I checked insurance companies are businesses who make money and at the same time employ a lot of people. Well lawyers are technically businesses too and also employ people. They also tend to take 30-40% of people’s settlements and Im sure ALL that money is non-profit. /wink Back to the point, if we go single payer and drive out the private sector insurance companies WHAT HAPPENS TO ALL THE PEOPLE WHO WERE PREVIOUSLY EMPLOYED BY THEM??? Do they magically get new jobs that this administration is creating in droves?
Larse, you say you’re gay repeatedly and queer too, if that is true, then your free HIV supplies, under Obama’s health care just ended, read page 69. And I hope the BILLIONS of dollars America sends to Africa each year ends for AIDS. Larse, you are one screwed up individual, Happy Death Day to you too, get it, HAPPY BIRTHER’S DAY, hehehaha.
What a pack of hypocrisy, X Bush bashers, Palin haters, who laughed at and think nothing wrong of her 14 old daughter was knocked up at a ballgame statement and a bunch of Birthers asking the same question “show us a real birth certificate”; a reasonable request over a will proven fraudulent COLB, the demoncrat party submitted as proof of his vetting. The fecal word game the demoncrats utter here are, “How dare they question our president!” Don’t they know how to get in line with our party?” they must be crazy.
Do these political pundits as the Jewish Bolsheviks, who thought they had superior intelligence too, but Stalin played them for perfect fools too, as did Adolph Hitler, killing almost everyone of them. Does the president of 57 states, not fifty, as he believes and stated; think that his old black magic works on some of the people, some of the time, but not all the time, according to Abraham Lincoln, (a republican) no; who went to war (The Civil War) to free salves, not to give out free scholarships.
Obama, because he alleged he was a foreign born native of Africa, not native born America, to get a Fulbright scholarship. Regrettably Obamaism and Obamanation will be the future name history will apply and give to liberal demoncrats who voted and kept him in office, while the United States of American dissolved into total anarchy, native against native, rich against poor, these Stockholm Syndrome Americans, Obama panders to.
“2003? Can’t you morons find something a little more current?”
Ya, the Bill pushing the same ideals he spouted back then, idiot. Aren’t you clever.
Below is text that I have exerted from section 2 of “Manifesto of the Communist Party”, better known as the Communist Manifesto. This is the paragraph that precedes the tenets of communism. Please read it through a few times until you fully comprehend what is being said here.
“Of course, in the beginning, this cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production; by means of measures, therefore, which appear economically insufficient and untenable, but which, in the course of the movement, outstrip themselves, necessitate further inroads upon the old social order, and are unavoidable as a means of entirely revolutionizing the mode of production.”
Ever wonder why our politicians seem to enact “measures” that have no basis in common sense and no hope of success. Wonder why our social programs go bankrupt and are rife with corruption? Marx and Engels explain it all in this single paragraph. The “measures” are supposed to be “insufficient and untenable” so to “necessitate” the next round of “unavoidable” “measures”.
Everything else that comes from the mouth of a politician is simply smoke and mirrors. It is delaying tactics to simply delay the truth until the whole system comes crashing down.
Every Crisis that they can create digs us further into the socialism trap that can only lead to full communism.
Obama, today: “Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?”
I so agree that we need single payer health care. I hate to pay the 30% cost of health care associated with the insurance industry. What a waste. And the red tape of insurance just pisses me off. Last time I went in the hospital I got bills for five months, many from organizations I did not even know were involved. Two were from anesthesiologists. Why two? Who asked my freaking permission to send in backups? It was just a simple operation. I ended up paying over $3000, and I was lucky to have insurance. Pity those who don’t. More work for the bankruptcy attorneys I guess.
Now I see that people in France who have major operations enjoy a higher survival rate than our people. Something is wrong with this picture. I think Obama should have stuck by his guns and driven Congress towards single payer health care, possibly a system like in France, where folks are free if they have enough money to still get insurance and still hire their own doctors outside the free health care system.
So what you’re saying is that Obama wants the American Health Care system to provide for all Americans – instead of the top 5% who can afford it. Shame on him.
Euradope – yes, you are. Sorry to say your all alone in your mindless thinking.
there’s no denying this tape http://cooperscopy.blogspot.com/
Do you suppose the obamanation of desolation new electronic health records system will reveal political affiliation? It probably will; that will make important health care decisions easier for them!
Obama Health care plan Sounds like a splendid idea I think Everyone in America should have access
To good health care BUT and I mean BUT!!! If you read his health plan (HR3200) please look it up
You will find like I did, It has got to be the most damaging bill ever put in front of the American people
• Passing the patriot act. Here are a few points taking out of the bill. PLEASE look it up and judge for your self’s
• Sec. 142, Pg. 42 – The Health Choices Commissioner will choose your benefits for you. You have no choice!
• Sec. 152, Pg. 50-51 – HC will be provided to ALL NON-US citizens.
• Sec. 163, Pg. 58-59 beginning at line 5 – Government will have real-time access to individual’s finances & a National ID health care card will be issued!
• Sec. 163, Pg. 59, Lines 21-24 – Government will have direct access to your bank accounts for electronic funds transfer.
• Sec. 164, Pg. 65 is a payoff subsidized plan for retirees and their families in unions & community organizations (ACORN).
• Sec. 205, Pg. 102, Lines 12-18 – Medicaid-eligible individuals will be automatically enrolled in Medicaid. No freedom to choose.
• Sec. 223, Pg. 124, Lines 24-25 – No company can sue the government for price-fixing. No “administrative of judicial review” against a government monopoly.
And these are just the small isue i have with it.
Jay, you think only 5% of Americans have health insurance? Are you serious, or making a joke? It’ not the governments job to provide people with heath insurance, don’t you get it? Why don’t you lobby your State reps for State run healthcare, and let the other States decide for themselves. Heck, you could even have a “Town Healthcare System” where everyone in your town is on the same plan run by your local officials. What do you have against liberty and giving States a choice? Obama’s plan will leave people no choice in the end, and that is his expressed goal.
…also, why should my tax money go to pay for abortion on demand? that is in the bill too.
It’s a foregone conclusion this socialist healthcare plan is going to pass regardless of what the ‘unruly hate driven masses’ want. Now that the leftest socialist democrates have complete control of the House and Senate, they’ll do what they want. MoveOn.org and the rest of those who want a European/Soviet style government ruling the United States are getting what they want. The consititution is no longer a viable document, our government no longer works for ‘we the people,’ and we are about to become propery of the state. They’ve already taken away our rights of ownership of property with the ruling of the Supreme Court on ownership and the ‘good of the community’ in seizing property for tax purposes. Government own, run, and controlled heathcare is just another step to restricting our free will and individualism. Both of which socialism despises beyond all comprehension.
Obamacare=Clunkercare.
ObamaCare bill says they will take money directly from your bank account to pay for
for this. Do you really want our government knowing when, how and why you are sick?
Do you really want our government taking money for your healthcare directly out
of your bank account? Do you really want our government telling you when or if you
can have a procedure done and not allowing you to get care someplace else?
Also, do you know that if you change your job you will automatically go to the
government’s healthcare program — you will have no choice, even if you get another
job where and they have a private healthcare plan?
DubyaD August 5th, 2009 – 10:19 am
It’s a foregone conclusion this socialist healthcare plan is going to pass regardless of what the ‘unruly hate driven masses’ want.
Well, DubyaD, that is why it is important for everyone to show up at the Capital
building on SEPTEMBER 12TH to protest what our government is doing. If they see us
out there in huge numbers (a million + strong), I am sure they will put off voting
for this trojan horse. Tell your friends — drive together. Get your church and
other organizations you belong too involved — rent a bus so you all can go together.
We have to fight back… we have to show up in huge numbers or they’ll continue to
ignore us. If we don’t, then we’re allowing our country to turn from a democracy to
socialism.
If the liberals get this then it is all over, people!

Flag this: Obama is a JACKASS and a DISGRACE for asking Americans to snitch on fellow Americans. He is so beneath the Office of President of the US it is not funny.
“545 People” by Charlie Reese
Politicians are the only people in the world who create problems and then campaign against them.
Have you ever wondered why, if both the Democrats and the Republicans are against deficits, we have deficits?
Have you ever wondered why, if all the politicians are against inflation and high taxes, we have inflation and high taxes?
You and I don’t propose a federal budget. The president does.
You and I don’t have the Constitutional authority to vote on appropriations. The House of Representatives does.
You and I don’t write the tax code, Congress does.
You and I don’t set fiscal policy, Congress does.
You and I don’t control monetary policy, the Federal Reserve Bank does.
One hundred senators, 435 congressmen, one president, and nine Supreme Court justices — 545 human beings out of the 300 million — are directly, legally, morally, and individually responsible for the domestic problems that plague this country.
I excluded the members of the Federal Reserve Board because Congress created that problem. In 1913, Congress delegated its Constitutional duty to provide a sound currency to a federally chartered, but private, central bank.
I excluded all the special interests and lobbyists for a sound reason. They have no legal authority. They have no ability to coerce a senator, a congressman, or a president to do one cotton-picking thing. I don’t care if they offer a politician $1 million dollars in cash. The politician has the power to accept or reject it. No matter what the lobbyist promises, it is the legislator’s responsibility to determine how he votes.
Those 545 human beings spend much of their energy convincing you that what they did is not their fault. They cooperate in this common con regardless of party.
What separates a politician from a normal human being is an excessive amount of gall. No normal human being would have the gall of a Speaker, who stood up and criticized the President (Bush) for creating deficits. The president can only propose a budget. He cannot force the Congress to accept it.
The Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land, gives sole responsibility to the House of Representatives for originating and approving appropriations and taxes. Who is the speaker of the House? She is the leader of the majority party. She and fellow House members, not the president, can approve any budget they want. If the president vetoes it, they can pass it over his veto if they agree to.
It seems inconceivable to me that a nation of 300 million cannot replace 545 people who stand convicted — by present facts — of incompetence and irresponsibility. I can’t think of a single domestic problem that is not traceable directly to those 545 people. When you fully grasp the plain truth that 545 people exercise the power of the federal government, then it must follow that what exists is what they want to exist.
If the tax code is unfair, it’s because they want it unfair.
If the budget is in the red, it’s because they want it in the red.
If the Marines are in IRAQ, it’s because they want them in IRAQ.
There are no insoluble government problems.
Do not let these 545 people shift the blame to bureaucrats, whom they hire and whose jobs they can abolish; to lobbyists, whose gifts and advice they can reject; to regulators, to whom they give the power to regulate and from whom they can take this power. Above all, do not let them con you into the belief that there exists disembodied mystical forces like “the economy,” “inflation,” or “politics” that prevent them from doing what they take an oath to do.
Those 545 people, and they alone, are responsible.
They, and they alone, have the power.
They, and they alone, should be held accountable by the people who are their bosses, provided the voters have the gumption to manage their own employees. We should vote all of them out of office and clean up their mess!
Our insurance system is broken. Our premiums go to pay CEO salaries while insurance companies deny care. It’s a simple as that. They’ve had 50 years to improve on the old BC/BS model and all they’ve managed to do is break the system. Why do American manufactured drugs sell for a fraction overseas than what they do here? Corporate America has ripped off the country for 20 some years thanks to their campaign to turn ordinary working folks into Wal-Mart royal republicans. No one has gotten rich but the rich yet many so called conservatives will sell out the people for some fantasy presented by Fox, Rush and Ann. Grow up. Wake up. It’s morning in America and it ain’t no sunny day for republicans. Get the profit motive out of health care. Period. And if it takes the government to do that than so be it. I’d rather have a government hack that I can vote out of office be the gate keeper for my health than some insurance hack who answers to no one.

Once again, Obama and his Chicago thugs have shown that they are nothing by socialist liars!
Jay August 5th, 2009 – 9:09 am
“So what you’re saying is that Obama wants the American Health Care system to
provide for all Americans – instead of the top 5% who can afford it.”
Jay, are you an idiot? Most Americans have health insurance and are happy with
it. If you are poor, you have medicaid coverage for your medical expenses. There
are plenty of free clinics around the country that give wonderful healthcare
and are supported completely by those top 5% who you mock. Obama also doesn’t
want those top 5% to be able to deduct 100% of their donations because Obama
thinks the government is the only one who should be deciding who gets and who
doesn’t.
Why don’t you read the ObamaCare bill and learn why people are so angry. You’re no
different than our representatives on Capital Hill. They don’t know anything about
ObamaCare or what is happening with our present healthcare either.
We didn’t seem to have a problem with healthcare until Obama took office. Instead
of fixing the system that is in place, which could easily be done with tort reform and
fixing the incredible fraud ($60+ billion a year) in medicare and medicaid.

So your answer is socialized healthcare instead of insisting that our representatives
on Capital Hill fix the problems we have? Liberal thinking really is a mental
disorder. Liberals use no common sense to figure out problems.
Ok you 0bamanuts…. here it is UNCUT and UNEDITED.
Look I wish you fascist idiots would JUST admit you WANT full on socialism or Communism. After you all do that we TRUE americans would be more than happy to give the states North of Virgina, and out to Illinois (oh and you can keep Ca too). You can re-name it USSA (United Socialist States of America). We can then take the rest of the states and run them as Independant thinkers.
But here is the catch…when you new country starts to look like the former USSR and Berlin in the 1980s (I was there… it was BAD)…. your STUCK WITH IT. WE will not help you….
“Get the profit motive out of health care. Period. And if it takes the government to do that than so be it. I’d rather have a government hack that I can vote out of office be the gate keeper for my health than some insurance hack who answers to no one.”
And that is just completely idiotic thinking Komrade.
Lets look at a simple scenario… I hire you, but before I do I get to look at your past year expenses to see EXACTLY what you need just to survive (food, shelter, clothing). Then I pay you ONLY ENOUGH for you to survive. How motivated will you be to work hard when all luxuries are taken away from you (luxuries meaning your car (you can take a bus), movies, dinner out, cable tv, your cell phone…).
Did you ding dong socialist know that in the current medical reform bill, the US Govnt will have DIRECT ACCESS to your bank account? Yes… how do you like them apples. What do you think the USG will do with that kind of data?
I want to expand his “14% of GNP” statistic. Think about the things you need: food, clothing, a house, then, probably medicine. 14% doesn’t mean we’re paying too much for healthcare; it means it’s important. It prooves people are able to prioritize their needs and don’t need government to do it for them. It’s like saying “Wow! You spent nearly 50% of your grocery bill on eggs, milk, and bread”.
Our premiums go to pay CEO salaries.
Well, I would feel much better if our premiums go into the pockets of corrupt politicians with a soclialist agenda.
Why do American manufactured drugs sell for a fraction overseas than what they do here?
Because the standard of living and average income in those countries are a fraction of what they are in the USA.
Corporate America has ripped off the country for 20 some years thanks to their campaign to turn ordinary working folks into Wal-Mart royal republicans.
Corrupt politicians have rippped off the country for 20 some years thanks to their corruption and greed to fill their pockets and the pockets of their special interest friends with our tax dollars.
No one has gotten rich but the rich yet many so called conservatives will sell out the people for some fantasy presented by Fox, Rush and Ann. Grow up.
Not true. Many people in the US get rich every year that were not rich before, thanks to free enterprise capitalism. Oh, and let’s not forget the rich politicians who have become rich through corruption, with money that they did not earn. But I will feel much better when only high ranking members of the socialist party(AKA democrats) get rich on our tax dollars since the rest of us will be reduced to 3rd world poverty like in all other socialist states(see – Venezuela, Cuba …)
Wake up. It’s morning in America and it ain’t no sunny day for republicans. Get the profit motive out of health care. Period. And if it takes the government to do that than so be it. I’d rather have a government hack that I can vote out of office be the gate keeper for my health than some insurance hack who answers to no one.
We, the American people are wakihg up now and not all of us are Republicans, we just know what socialism inevitabley leads to. Study some history and economics please. When YOU WAKE UP, you will realize that once the government takes the profit out of everything, you will no longer be able to vote that government hack out of office because free elections along with all other freedoms will be a thing of the past.
Why so much emphasis on stringing together clever, half rhyming sentences? All of these comments read more like a 14 year old sociopaths diary than a well constructed argument. Please, keep your “brilliant relvalations” to your self, you just sound like an idiot.

subject This is the moment
mailed-by bounce.bluestatedigital.com
This is the moment our movement was built for.
For one month, the fight for health insurance reform leaves the backrooms of Washington, D.C., and returns to communities across America. Throughout August, members of Congress are back home, where the hands they shake and the voices they hear will not belong to lobbyists, but to people like you.
Home is where we’re strongest. We didn’t win last year’s election together at a committee hearing in D.C. We won it on the doorsteps and the phone lines, at the softball games and the town meetings, and in every part of this great country where people gather to talk about what matters most. And if you’re willing to step up once again, that’s exactly where we’re going to win this historic campaign for the guaranteed, affordable health insurance that every American deserves.
There are those who profit from the status quo, or see this debate as a political game, and they will stop at nothing to block reform. They are filling the airwaves and the internet with outrageous falsehoods to scare people into opposing change. And some people, not surprisingly, are getting pretty nervous. So we’ve got to get out there, fight lies with truth, and set the record straight.
That’s why Organizing for America is putting together thousands of events this month where you can reach out to neighbors, show your support, and make certain your members of Congress know that you’re counting on them to act.
But these canvasses, town halls, and gatherings only make a difference if you turn up to knock on doors, share your views, and show your support. So here’s what I need from you:
Can you commit to join at least one event in your community this month?
In politics, there’s a rule that says when you ask people to get involved, always tell them it’ll be easy. Well, let’s be honest here: Passing comprehensive health insurance reform will not be easy. Every President since Harry Truman has talked about it, and the most powerful and experienced lobbyists in Washington stand in the way.
But every day we don’t act, Americans watch their premiums rise three times faster than wages, small businesses and families are pushed towards bankruptcy, and 14,000 people lose their coverage entirely. The cost of inaction is simply too much for the people of this nation to bear.
So yes, fixing this crisis will not be easy. Our opponents will attack us every day for daring to try. It will require time, and hard work, and there will be days when we don’t know if we have anything more to give. But there comes a moment when we all have to choose between doing what’s easy, and doing what’s right.
This is one of those times. And moments like this are what this movement was built for. So, are you ready?
Please commit now to taking at least one action in your community this month to build support for health insurance reform:
http://my.barackobama.com/CommitAugust
Let’s seize this moment and win this historic victory for our economy, our health and our families.
Thank you,
President Barack Obama”
Raider, you got my vote if you ever run for office… (you at least read the friggin’ bill).
Jesse August 4th, 2009 – 12:19 pm – “the conspiracy theories about obama trying to trick us into something that will make the US burn in hell are ridiculous” Come on! Get real. He isn’t trying to fool anyone, unless it’s apologists like YOU. He blatantly asserts free enterprise and capitalism are his enemies, even while he sucks the nectar, flies the planes, and lives a life they created. I wonder, after “The One” shi-ites, what stupid deluded intellectual eunuch wipes his butt?
Here is an article quoting Obamination from both 2003 AND 2007 stating he wants to eliminate private insurance and have universal health care.
Jesse – it’s relevant because it reveals what he believes, and it shows how he continues to flip-flop and say what he has to say in order to get his way.
Raider – First I want to say I am opposed to the Healthcare Bill – BUT – I went online and read the WHOLE Bill after reading the synopsis that is posted one line- the synopsis is not accurate on several points – page 429 does not give the government the authorization to give an order to end a patients life – this has to do with the the living will that the patient has already signed…..but there is language in this Bill about counseling for end of life etc, that has not been exaggerated and page 59 does not give the government acccess to one’s bank acount – it enables one to have “automated reconcilliation with related health care payment” there was not one word about the governement having access
Let’s keep the exaggerations out of the conversation and focus on the realities – what drives healthcare up in this country is our usage and all the research (which we need and other countries do not invest in as we do) and our lifestyles and the government is not going to artificially reduce costs -we need to make some real changes -
starting with obesity, teen pregnancy, abortions, smoking, overuse of the system, tort reform and illegal immigration. We also need to do something about the 10 to 15 truly unisured Americans. Insurance companies have already agreed to drop the pre-existing exclusions clause and if we can get Congress to recognize that doctors are afraid of thir patients and often order tests out of fear of litigation we can get some real tort reform going too, but it will be hard because the trial lawyers own the Democrats…..
Cut or uncut…. The FACT, is that Obama is trying to make us into a Marxist nation.
He said it, and that White House video is nothing but one big LIE and slander against Drudge and the facts themselves.
Why can’t we sue government people for lying when it’s clear as day?
We need to put some “accountability” back into politics, rather than allowing people to just speak out of two ends of their mouths.

The United States is the only high-income industrialized country in the world that does not have some version of public health care for the entire nation.
DO YOU SUPPOSE THATS THE VERY REASON THAT THE UNITED STATES IS THE WORLD LEADER IN MEDICAL INNOVATION? An over-tax citizenry on a public health care option that treats for cost-effectiveness to merely delay the bankruptcy of a nation, does not develop new ground-breaking & life-saving technologies. Medical Science in America doubles every 16 years, yes doubles. Imagine 16 years from now, medical knowledge will be at 200% of what it is today. Now imagine if that’s possible when the ‘evil’ drug companies and greedy Doctors are all getting fifty-cents a pill and $30 an office visit. Where will the funding for R&D come from? Actually, where will the doctors come from? Who the heck wants to pay off $500,000 in student loans $30 at a time?
A recent Harvard University study found that medical bills are a leading cause of bankruptcy in the United States. The study found that many declaring bankruptcy were part of the middle class and were employed before they became ill, but had lost their health insurance by the time they declared bankruptcy and that about 2 million Americans live in families that have experienced medical bankruptcy.
PARTIALLY TRUE – HOWEVER YOU FAIL TO MENTION THE REST. From the same Harvard Study: The majority of people who go bankrupt because of medical reasons ACTUALLY HAVE INSURANCE. Many start out their illnesses with insurance while 38% lose coverage by the time bankruptcy is filed. Further, the out-of-pocket costs for those who filed for bankruptcy ranged from $11,000 to $18,000″ Out-of-pocket medical expenses covering co-payments, deductibles and uncovered health services averaged $13,460 for bankruptcy filers who had private insurance at the onset of illness, compared with $10,893 for those without coverage. Those who initially had private coverage but lost it during their illness faced the highest cost, an average of $18,005.
THAT’S RIGHT, THEY FILED FOR BANKRUPTCY FOR AN AVERAGE DEBT OF $13,460. They CHOSE not to pay a ‘medical’ debt of $13,460 and determined that bankruptcy was a better solution than paying what they owed. That’s ridiculous. That less than the cost of a new car. Heck, I know people with credit card balances higher than that. Fortunately for some, Medical is a fairly easy qualifier for bankruptcy.
By the way, we do have a governmental run health care program called Medicaid/ Medicare and they’re both BANKRUPT do we really need a third even larger albatross. I don’t care whether your left, right or center, Government (especially the current one) is incapable of running anything better than the private sector.
Wait a minute, the government does out-excel everyone and everything in one area… incompetence!
Get your Obama Joker T-shirt and bags @ http://www.cafepress.com/obamasociorama
How would I get competent care if I needed it?
Smart people will not–hell, NO people will–spend 8 years to get a medical degree,
just to make NO money and be buried in bureaucracy!

You know the video is real and so too the words. No conspiracy here just the unvarnished truth. If you let it the TRUTH will set you free. And TRUTH will defeat not only health care, oops social control of your live, but eventually create a one term socialist masquerading as a liberal president.You know what you have to do, so go do it!
A large number of the “wealthy” that Obama wants to tax into oblivion are physicians; if he cuts their pay, how can he fleece them for taxes at the same time? As a surgeon, I work very long days/nights/weekends; I missed most of my children’s chldhood taking care of other people’s kids; and I do a job that very few in the world can do, so that YOUR children can live a healthy life. Do you really believe that young surgeons in the future (as well as some of us not so young surgeons) are going to make these sacrifices in order to make the same income as those who don’t or can’t do the work we do, or if we become govt employees? We already have a national health care system – it’s called the VA. Have you ever been a patient there? Try it out and see if you like it. Wake up America – the grass is NOT greener on the other side of this mess, but once the govt gets control you will NEVER GET IT BACK.
To Kathy in Phoenix – really enjoyed your post –
I don’t understand why people keep pushing the point that we are the only industrialized nation without a public option? So? We have less than 15 million truly unisred in the US – statistically less than those in Canada without access to a doctor even though they are technically covered? why is joining the ranks of the mediocre so important to these people?
WHO ranks the US #1 for Healthcare deliverables (actual care given to patients) but so many people neglect to read that part of the rankings – we get knocked down for costs, yet we provide not only the research for the US but for most of the world..Canada for example, which is held up as a great cost center, spends not one red cent on research, but gladly benefits from all our expenditures. And we use our system more than any other country…if you use it, well it is going to drive up the costs. To use Canada again, they hardly ever use their system because of shortages. And while all Canadians are technically covered, 15% don’t even have doctors because the doctors can’t take any more patients. We have the best care in the world thanks to our doctors and our innovations….but people are so accustomed to hearing from our politicians about the evil insurance companies and doctors that they have come to belive what this government has told them – D&D – perfect techniques of propoganda.
70% of those who filed bankruptcy and listed medical bills in their filings had medical insurance. But the real culprit was that they missed work while they were sick and fell behind on all their bills…these people needed disability insurance on top of health insurance…the study ws flawd in that this was not clearly explained.
Raider – deemed applicable by the Secretary does not give the government access
And no this program is not free – only the people who thought they wouldn’t have to pay for gas or electricity under Obama really believe that
automated reconcillation – is payment directly from your account to the doctor or hospital
I do agree with you that the elderly will certainly be open to abuse under the counseling clause, it has happened in Denmark, unintended consequences – we always think we will do it better than someone else – but the truth is, human nature being what it is and the massive number of baby boomers coming down the track, there are valid concerns about how some people may be coerced into early end of life decisions
U. R. A. Tard August 4th, 2009 – 2:21 pm
Laughing AT you, ‘tards.
Actually, you’re the illiterate tard. If you actually had any real market knowledge you’d know that market performance is not on real time. Pretty much why amateur day-traders eventually lose their shirts and the house when their luck runs out.
If you were actually interested in measuring the Obama-anomaly on the market you would start not on 1/20/09 but 5/8/09, 6/8/08 or 6/13/08 (Friday the 13th). Why are these dates significant you may ask?
5/8/09 Clinton campaign suspended
6/8/08 Hillary conceded and Obama became the DEM Candidate.
6/13/08 The now infamous Obama $250,000 & up tax & redistribute the wealth speech.
6/13/08 DJIA = 12,307.35 / NASDAQ = 2,454.05
8/4/09 DJIA = 9,320.19 / NASDAQ = 2,011.31
More telling of the Obama-effect are the unemployment numbers
5/30/08 = 5.4%
7/31/09 = 9.4%
On June 13, 2008 Obama made his official Candidate speech and laid out his plan to raise the taxes on all business and business owners big and small (ie for the real slim-Tardies… your employer!) and double the Social security tax on all individuals over $250,000. And that boys and girls while you were applauding Obama’s persecution of your own employer is when the exodus took off. Companies started dumping employees and moving profits offshore in the event that Obama won and made good on his promises. Every day new companies announced layoffs, but don’t think they facilitated it overnight. They were watching and waiting and planning after the super Tuesday results. Large companies, like Honeywell, Motorola, Boeing, always have a plan C on the back burner hoping they don’t have to use it, but ready all the same to implement when necessary.
So guess what Slim-Tardy, your not up with Obama and you may actually be within 30 days of unemployment. I highly doubt you’re net-up unless you’re a newbie to brokerage and only began this year. If you’ve actually made a killing over the last 6 months rather than a partial recovery, I would strongly suggest two things:
1) save up as much money as you can
2) look up ‘hyper-inflation’ in the Merriam-Webster.
From an economics standpoint, there’s a crap-storm coming like you’ve probably never seen in your lifetime.
Regardless of political affiliation, a Super-Majority (regardless of party) is NEVER a good thing. Besides the fact that it eliminates all balance and debate, it puts too much power in the hands of idiots, and you can’t argue that Pelosi and Reed are complete drooling morons.
The thing about absolute power is that it absolutely corrupts, but its also absolutely addictive. Those in power will do everything possible to make sure they remain in power, even if it means giving 18 million illegal aliens the ability to vote so they can retain it when the citizenry wises up.
MISS RONALD??????? I EVEN MISS JIMMA!!!!
Obama and his bunch of stooges are now asking that you rat on your friends and neighbors by forwarding “fishy” email or web pages to government officials. Here is the quote…
“If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov”
I say FILL ER UP!
Dear flag,
Check this website, the birth cirtificate seems “FISHY”.
IndyinAL is right and good for you for being objective. As citizens we need to be intelligent and responsible. Spewing cliche propaganda does service to no one. Being objective and looking for the best solution to a problem, no matter what you label that solution, is how things get done with expedience and clarity. I have received several emails bullet pointing atrocities in the health care act. When I correlate those bullet points with the actual bill a good 80-90% of them are skewed, misrepresented, or just entirely false. Not to say that I am in favor of this act. The are plenty of things wrong with this proposal without falsifying excerpts. Most of the time when I stumble upon or get directed to a site like this I am amazed at how much hate is bred with inflammatory and falsified statements. I am also amazed at how quickly I can unravel most of it with a little research on what the facts really are. If you don’t research the statements your fellow bloggers are making then you really don’t know the truth and are reducing yourself to the intelligence of a parrot. Take control of your opinion and stop letting people make it for you. If you are really passionate about being pro-active in the political arena then do just that. write your own bill, get on the street and get a petition going, or actually fly to washington and try to be heard rather than just blogging about it. But by all means check your facts…when you skew or lie about something it just deflates the argument and makes the rest of us look bad.
thanks for the link fantum…it tried to put a virus in my computer when I clicked on one of the links on the page….Do not I repeat!!!! do not click on the usataxpayer link on fantum’s post unless you want to put your computer at risk…someone should remove the post or flag it as harmful.
Barry August 5th, 2009 – 5:16 pm
Sadly Dr. Barry I have seen the VA and the failure to treat our veterans with the respect, knowledge and technology they deserve. Visited my father not too long ago and raised holy-heck that he was given sour milk and a dry cheese sandwich for lunch at the VA hospital. After waiting 30 minutes for someone to even walk by his room let alone check on him I went out and got a real lunch for him. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not criticizing the medical staff. When they finally made rounds to his room, they were completely worn out but still caring. For some reason in this country, the Veterans Administration and military budgets seems to be the first place politicians think of to cut funding.
Something tells me your employees smiled and waved on their way out at 4:59 and probably never saw the late hours it really took to be successful in your practice. Probably never even questioned where their paychecks came from right on time when the tills were empty and your family was doing without. They were probably there with their hands out demanding ‘their fair share’ though when you prospered and all your hard work finally paid off, right?
I am still amazed at the stoodges who actually smiled while they voted to tax their own employers into oblivion. Think they’ll understand why they won’t see raises for the next 4 years? Should someone tell them they voted any real raises away in employer taxation?
It would seem that the majority of people on this thread are NOT in favor of government health care. A few posted about how people are hurting in the current system and others posted about socialism. I agree with these ideas.
About 17 years ago I was attending class with a girl from Norway which has social medicine. I was a college student thinking how cool it would be to visit Europe and how things were over there. Well, she shared with me about a neighbors who lost their home paying for their son’s airlift out of the mountains. She shared this as a way of telling me that the grass is not greener across the pond. I had never really thought of socialized medicine but she knew something that I didn’t.
Obama, for better or worse, is our president. I am greatly opposed to many of his plans for I find them opposed to freedom and a capitalist economy. He has been on the media constantly since October and even the media moguls are now reported as getting tired of it. His commercialized appeals are growing old. Who is taking care of things while he is playing movie star and traveling all over?
The scariest part of it all is how the people are reacting. Many do not see what is going on – that our government is changing. Today the White House is reported as sending out a message to stop the town hall meetings (to shut the people up). Think for a moment about all the many controversies that are going on with our leader – the Cambridge situation (the pres. should not have been involved), the “stupid” comment from a Pres!, the endorsement of a racist Judge -proven over several examples including the firemen, the backgrounds of the people he has been appointing, those that were to be appointed but their backgrounds were so evil that he was advised to pick others, on and on it goes. Then to top it off, he is reported as spending about a million dollars in legal fees to block the request to see his original birth certificate made by citizens since the one presented had a bad watermark and improper info. Even if one might think this to be ridiculous, why would a person hide it and spend that kind of money? Why would the attorney state that the citizens do not have a right to see it. Where are the background educational records? Why do family members say that he was not born here? These are just basic things that could easily be cleared up but for some reason are ignored. Many just overlook it and consider it all “wacky” but why are there so many hidden pieces? That is what is driving many people to wonder.
Obama said, “We are the best country in the world, help me to change it.”
I just wish people, especially younger people would wake up and realize what is going on. What government tells people to report on those who have an opposing viewpoint? Does that sound like freedom? This directive has been on TV the last two days. The White House has a website to send the report to. If you watch movies, consider totalitarian government, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Totalitarianism
Even if you do not accept other peoples’ conclusions, consider what is happening and realize that this is very different than any other president or extreme ideology we have faced in our government before.
MISS RONALD???? I EVEN MISS JIMMA!!!!
Anyone who believes Congress should have the public plan, please take action! Congressman John Fleming (Louisiana physician) has proposed an amendment that would require congressmen and senators to take the same healthcare plan they force on us. (Under proposed legislation they are curiously exempt).
Congressman Fleming is encouraging people to go to his Website and sign his petition (very simple – just first, last and email).
I have just done that at: http://fleming.house.gov/ Sue Thomas
Please visit the site and sign your name if you believe that this action should be taken.
Socialism has been an abject failure in every Nation where it has been implemented, so why should we be surprised that Obama style Socialism would be any different. It’s Obama’s intention to destroy the free-enterprise structure that has made America the most prosperous Nation in the history of mankind; and, to replace it with the Socialist structure from his native Kenya. A structure where the elite such as Obama and his clan travel and subsist in luxury while the masses wallow in the misery of a system that confiscates the products of their labor so as to acheive Obama’s coveted “redistribution of the wealth”. Obama is in fact the “Reparator In Chief”.
By their own admission… Medicare is broken, Medicaid is broken, and Social Security is broken… and all are far more expensive than originally projected. Those are all government run programs. Why would an sane person want more of the same?
I am looking at the Health Care Plan from a point of view from a person that is not to far away from 60 years of age, and I HATE it!!!!!! How dare they ram this down us, force us to eat every lie they are putting out. And name calling Americans that are standing up for what they believe in. Obama has caused, “change has come to America” he said at his speech in the park. And it is a BAD change indeed. When he said, “and I will be your president too”, that sent chills down my back. I knew right then that he would force things upon us, and not listen to the people. Some of you might think I am a “right-winger”, well, at least I have wings to fly. And I will fly to every corner of my town, county, state, and country if need be to tell the world that we are being rail-roaded into something we don’t what. But, to try and stay GREEN here, I will stay close to home, so no one can say, “they shipped this person in”. And to all of you that are speaking up against this plan, THANK YOU!!!!!

Raider – deemed applicable by the Secretary does not give the government access ………..
automated reconcillation – is payment directly from your account to the doctor or hospital
page 195 or so entitles informational access to tax info …. rule of thumb! If you have
outstanding medical liability, you might want to give yourself 100 dependants on
your W-4 withholding form. If you dont, The Government will not only keep the 5000
you sent them throughout the year, but send you a nice juicy bill! … This is essentialy
“close to real time” access to your account as described on pg 59 … trust the Raider!

And no this program is not free – only the people who thought they wouldn’t have to pay for gas or electricity under Obama really believe that
I Wholeheartedly Agree …. I was purely making jest
I just sent this to the
mailto:flag@whitehouse.gov website …. aw sh!t – now he really knows me! too bad I’m
a decendant from Africa! Good thing I allowed that racial chip to fall many moons back!
90% of the public is against the public option …. It is forced socialized medicine that has failed routinely …
Sneaking it in some silly backdoor bill will be sniffed out too … drop the issue …. It’s a loser … fo sho fo sho
To the poster who wrote: “Obama better keep his single payer Commie hands off my Medicare! It works great for seniors and we don’t need the federal government’s involvement in our medical care!”
Medicare IS a single payer system. In fact, on the second page of the bill (HR676) it is entitled “The Expanded and Improved Medicare for All Act.” Go ahead and read the bill online – it’s only 27 pages long, double-spaced with wide margins.
Single payer is Medicare for the entire country, and Medicare is a government run program. Glad you like it. Now share!

What I don’t understand is what the fear is about a single payer system? When everyone participates and pays into one system, the health of the population increases and security abides. Everyone seems to thinks that like in the “hood” the insurance companies “have my back bro” well, no they do not have your back bro; insurance companies consider paying out not a cost of doing business but, cutting into the profit; insurance companies do not care if you win or lose your battle with illness; and if they see one inkling of weakness (a small business owner out in the woods by themselves) they will start the denying game. Americans should want to see the entire population and themselves have continuous, unending coverage which provides preventative care. Our whole way of thinking would change if we decided value our neighbors health as much as our own. Why do we just say, “that’s too bad” and expect that anyone who gets sick should be bankrupt and sent to the streets? Are you all invested in insurance company stock or something? Personally; I would go with green companies for investment and, ding, Treasury Bonds; because America will have the biggest come back of the century if we have national health care; companies from all over the world will feel comfortable setting up shop if they know ten people won’t need to be on staff to issue benefits and they will not need to pay out millions of dollars each year to insure an unhealthy bunch o’ Americans. People stop sucking the ether insurance companies are waiving in your face and get back to REALITY!
Obama is asking about “fishy” emails because health insurance companies have an army of staffers who are trying to co-op this debate; do you really think that people who have been sticking it up everyone’s !$#@$#@ for this long are going to give up the game that easy; hell NO! Why would everyone rather have an insurance company in the doctor’s office with them rather than supposedly the “government.” Money is an organizational tool; and insurance companies are spending enough money on this campaign to insure everyone in California for a year.
Wow! Birfer and Deafer Central. This must be where all the little wingnuts come to feel each other up (because nobody of any brains or class wants ‘em).
[...] Obama, at a Senate campaign rally in 2003. Visit [...]
I’m still waiting for someone to show me a single government program that actually functions efficiently and within budget. If any of you think that a government bureaucrat cares one ounce more about your health than an insurance company employee, you are delusional. That is why they won’t give up what they have to go on this plan. At least with private insurers if you are dissatisfied you can firre them and get a new insurer. Try doing that with the government – you can’t they are a monopoly. My father was a war time vet who is now in the advanced stages of Alzheimers. It took two years of trying to deal with disinterested VA bureaucrats (”case workers”) and incompetent Medicaid people to finally get coverage; and if you complain, your paperwork gets “lost” and you go to the back of the line.
The solution is simple: 1. Get rid of HMO’s and have people go back to paying for routine care out of pocket 2. Provide low-cost high-deductible disaster insurance so no one loses their house or life savings due to cancer or heart disease 3. Allow people to shop across state lines for coverage.
Unfortunately that would be so simple that Congress would never be able to make it into a 3000 page bill that they could hide pork and earmarks in, so it will never happen.
Amanda, really? wingnuts? A wingnut is anyone on either extreme – left or right. Why not try “Tea Bagger”. Funny thing about that one is that most tea party goers are libertarian and not republican. Libertarians are more tolerant of homosexuals than most I have met on the left.

Why can’t someone up for office in the 2012 election would come up with this plan? The 1st 5 years
of office for Congress and the 1st year of the President and VP MUST live on the same amount of money that retired people live on……no staffing for anyone and no nannies! They should have the
same healthcare as the American public and the following year earn only that average wage
of what we earn (excluding CEO’s)! Then they get taxed on EVERYTHING we are taxed on and
see if they can understand how we are being ripped off! Also they have the same bills and
the same gas prices as well as heating expenses ALL coming out of THEIR check!
It may sound crazy at first but with the world as it is, it really seems sane right now!
