Now, President Obama wants to legalize even illegal aliens just so they can get health care coverage! What kind of crazy logic is that?
Oh, I know. Let’s invite in the felons from every country in the world so the American taxpayer can provide health care benefits, housing, and even food. Why should an American citizen expect to use his own hard earned wages for himself and his family?
Oh, Lord. Save us from Obama’s attempts to buy votes with welfare!
I think that many Americans feel as Joe Wilson did about President Obama’s speech last night — “that’s a lie!”– rather than the spin some networks are handing out as their “reading” of the president’s speech last night.
CNN, especially, has once again shown itself to be a partisan network, heavily biased in FAVOR of President Obama. It doesn’t seem to matter how ridiculous Obama’s statements are, CNN routinely “finds” people who agree with them. In this case, CNN did a poll of reactions to the President’s pathetic attempt to justify his health care reform package. Characteristically, they included nearly twice the Democrats compared to Republicans in the poll.

Let’s face it. CNN wouldn’t know the truth if it hit them in the face.
The truth is that there is no need for health care reform. What is needed is to reform Medicare so that doctors get paid what their services are worth! What is needed is tort reform so doctors don’t pay upwards of $200,000 PER YEAR in malpractice fees, trying to offset the ridiculous cases that are pressed against them. What is needed is for the Democrats to stop playing politics.
Health care reform, as envisioned by Obama, is nothing more than a hand out to groups that support him. The unions are the worst of the worst. But, I heard Obama enlist another group last night — the nurses! It is always pleasant to be told that you are so vital that we want to raise your salary; however, Obama is using them as yet another divisive ploy in an attempt to “get his way” on health care reform.
This is just another case of class warfare at which Obama is the king. Unfortunately, he wants to be king of the world, and health care is just his platform. Time for “the king” to step down from his throne and stop raising the national debt at the cost of our grandchildren. And, it is time for networks like CNN, NBC, and even ABC, to stop letting Obama get away with such patently untrue statements!
It doesn’t surprise me that President Obama is looking to blame someone, anyone, for his own policy failures here and abroad, notably Afghanistan. For a man who professed to look “forward”, he spends an amazing amount of time and energy trying to redirect the responsibility for events backwards onto his predecessor, former President Bush.
So, here’s Obama’s latest attempt to pass the buck:

The White House sought on Monday to pin the blame for the grave state of the war in Afghanistan on the Bush administration, which made Iraq its top military priority.
Ha ha. The President whom everyone claimed was the most technologically advanced candidate in the world is now claiming a “mistake” was made when unsolicited emails — spam to most of us ordinary folk — were sent.
It couldn’t have been that they tried spamming as a trial balloon, could it? And, when people complained, they looked for a scapegoat? Ah, yes. It was a mistake!!!

Change-up: White House sent unsolicited e-mails
WASHINGTON (AP) – The White House is blaming unnamed political groups for the unsolicited e-mails it had wrongly insisted no one was receiving from its online operation.”We’re certainly not interested in anyone receiving e-mails from the White House who don’t want them,” White House online director Macon Phillips said in a blog posting Monday night.
Phillips said groups outside the White House—he offered no specifics—had signed up their members to receive regular White House updates about President Barack Obama’s projects, priorities and speeches. Adding names from a commercial or political list to the White House list was not the practice there, he said.
After the White House had consistently denied that anyone who hadn’t sought the e-mails had received them, Phillips acknowledged that people may have been added to the e-mail lists without their knowledge.
“We regret any inconvenience caused by receiving an unexpected message,” he wrote in the blog.

Looks as though President Obama wants even more from the press — he doesn’t like it when some in the media actually report the news. Obama wants only the news he thinks is fit to print to be printed!
Maybe the press corps is waking up to its responsibilities. Their job is to report the news, not placate President Obama.

A day after facing a hostile crowd at a town hall meeting in Green Bay, U.S. Rep Steve Kagen (D-WI) said people opposed to health care reform are being driven by fear and misinformation.
“They’re angry because they’re fearful, and they’re fearful of what they don’t understand,” Kagen said during a visit to the Shawano Leader Tuesday.
The proposed health care plan is just the latest in the Lieberal assault on our personal liberties. It is not enough that they regulate the amount of water a toilet can use nor that they even decide who can run certain companies. No. They want to control every detail of your life, including your medical choices.
Representative Kagen of Wisconsin espoused the Democratic litany of “you don’t understand” to explain why there is so much opposition to the health care proposals. Democrats never accept that individual Americans might have ideas that are not in accord with the lieberal agenda! If you disagree with their plan, according to the Democrats, you must either: be part of an organized opposition to the plan which makes it “bad” in their opinion; do not understand the plan; be selfish or apathetic; or, just plain stupid. They maintain that they alone know what is best for ALL Americans’ health care plans. Despite the failure of other countries who have universal health care, these buffoons continue to press toward the socialistic agenda of “free” health care. Ha ha. Exactly who pays for this “free” health care? Unfortunately, it will be me, you, our children, our grandchildren, and our great-grandchildren.
As a college graduate from UW-Madison with a degree in Education, let me educate these Lieberals.
1 – I am not part of any organized group.
2 – I DO understand the plan. I just don’t like that it taxes people who have worked hard and saved for their own futures for those who have not. I do NOT trust the government to make better decisions for me and mine than I would or could.
3 – I do care about my fellow Americans. My husband and I contribute substantial amounts every year to our church charities.
4 – I am NOT stupid nor are other Americans who oppose universal health care. My husband and I both graduated from UW-Madison. We continue to follow issues that affect our lives and those of our children. YOUR problem is that the American public is NOT stupid and sees through your ridiculous positions and assertions!
So, it is not a question of me being opposed to the ridiculous health care plan that Obama wants because I don’t understand the concept. It is a question of me NOT WANTING the government to run my, or anyone else’s, health care and NOT wanting the government to tax more to pay for those who choose not to save for their own health care. My opinions are founded in fact whereas the lieberals, as usual, are expounding a philosophical viewpoint as though IT WERE FACT!
So, my question to Rep. Kagen and the other lieberals who support this bill is, what makes you think we don’t understand the issue? And, do YOU, the Congress, understand our heartfelt opposition?
This was a forwarded email. (I’ve removed images to keep it short and sweet.)
If George W. Bush had made a joke at the expense of the Special Olympics, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given Tony Blair a set of inexpensive and useless (to Tony Blair’s UK video formatting) DVDs, when Tony Blair had given him a thoughtful and historically significant gift, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had given the Queen of England an iPod containing videos of his speeches, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had visited Austria and made reference to the non-existent “Austrian language,” would you have brushed it off as a minor slip?
If George W. Bush had filled his cabinet and circle of advisers with people who cannot seem to keep current on their income taxes, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had ordered the firing of the CEO of a major corporation, even though he had no constitutional authority to do so, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had proposed to double the national debt, which had taken more than two centuries to accumulate, in one year, would you have approved?
If George W. Bush had then proposed to double the debt again within 10 years, would you have approved?
So, tell me again, what is it about Obama that makes him so brilliant and impressive?
Can’t think of anything? Don’t worry. He’s done all this in 10 weeks — so you’ll have three years and nine-and-a-half months to come up with an answer.

Everyone used to laugh at Tim Allen’s he-man claim to need “MORE POWER” . But, it appears that the White House is still stuck in that old sitcom mode. The headline reads: White House wants more power to control Medicare Costs.
It appears that the White House, i.e. Obama and his Democratic minions, just want MORE POWER period.
They already control what the major media outlets tell us….witness the pandering from CNN, MSNBC, CBS, and NBC. But, wait, that’s not enough! They want to control what a CEO can be paid. They want to control the minimum wage. They want to control health care. They want to control the education system. They even used our tax dollars, despite most Americans opposing the bailout, to bailout car companies, some financial institutions, and are now considering helping newspapers and tv outlets! They want to strip parents of being informed if an underage girl chooses to have an abortion.
When government has the power of life or death, abortion or life, then watch out!
MORE POWER? I suggest they try using MORE COMMON SENSE and MORE SELF CONTROL.
The Democrats and Prsident Obama are so eager to get their welfare plans in place that they don’t even pay attention to what they’re saying. One day, they say the stimulus will work “now”. When the stimulus is seen as failing, Obama declares that he never meant “now”. Well, what did he mean when he said “now”?????
Remember when the media would run with a gaff from Bush? Well this is the same thing, and nothing. Not a god damn thing.
I’m not surprised.
