I can't take credit for the following statements. Sorry about the bad spacing of the text. This is a response following Obama's speech from a businessman that is worth the read:


The president must have thought he was still speaking to second graders
during last night’s speech to the American people and a joint session of
Congress. How else can one explain the untruths, misrepresentations and
contradictions that were centerpieces of the speech? He described a fantasyland where everyone gets more benefits, nobody loses anything and the deficit magically doesn’t increase. I will point out a few of the distortions below.

But first I want to point out what most of Big Media is ignoring this
morning. Republicans are being bashed for inappropriate partisanship because there was a sprinkling of boos and a frustrated Rep. Joe Wilson of South Carolina accused the president of lying. Big Media is in shock about that outburst, but it appears to have forgotten that President Bush was booed in 2005, and that Harry Reid called President Bush “a loser” and “a liar.” In addition, many are ignoring the bitter partisan tone of the president’s speech.

He accused talk radio (Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc.), cable news (Fox News) and Republican leaders (Sarah Palin) of lying. He attacked the Bush Administration – AGAIN. And he said nothing about the “attack dogs” of the Left, including members of Congress who have labeled those of us who disagree with socialized medicine as “un-American” and “evil mongers.”

How partisan was his speech? Senator Lindsey Graham, who goes out of his way (too far in my opinion) to “make nice” with liberals in Congress, had this to say: “I was incredibly disappointed in the tone of his speech. …I found his tone to be overly combative and believe he behaved in a manner beneath the dignity of the office. I fear his speech tonight has made it more difficult — not less — to find common ground.” Even Larry Sabato, a liberal political analyst, called Obama’s remarks, “…a tough, partisan speech.” They are right. The speech sounded like something a community organizer would deliver – not a president.

Now, let’s look at specifics. I’ll quote the president and then give you
the facts.


Obama’s fantasy: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our
deficits either now or in the future -- period.”

The Truth: Not even one Democrat version of the legislation is deficit
neutral. The House version, according to the Congressional Budget Office, adds $220 billion to the deficit over the next decade. The Senate bill is
changing by the hour, so it is harder to estimate costs, but common sense tells you it is nearly impossible to cover 30 million more people, not cut any services and do it all without more deficit spending.

Obama’s Claim: “Don’t pay attention to those scary stories about how your benefits will be cut… That will never happen on my watch.”

The Truth: His plan proposes $500 billion in “savings” in Medicare by
cutting “waste, fraud and abuse.” This is a sleight of hand as old as
Washington, D.C., and it is one reason why our deficit is out of control. There is no budget line for “waste, fraud and abuse.” If there are $500 billion that can be saved, prove it now. Cut that “waste, fraud and abuse” now, and save the money now!

Obama’s Deception: “…the reforms I’m proposing would not apply to those
who are here illegally.”

The Reality: Is there an American alive who doesn’t know the fiasco of our immigration policies? Countless benefits go to illegal immigrants for one simple reason: There are no strong verification systems to prevent it.
Illegals can’t vote, but we know some are voting because liberals oppose photo IDs and proof of citizenship on Election Day. Conservatives in Congress have repeatedly tried to add citizenship verification provisions to the socialized medicine bill, and Obama’s allies have voted them down every time. Voting down citizenship verification is how Obama’s allies ensure that the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and groups like La Raza support the legislation.

A recent Rasmussen poll found that 83% of Americans say people should be required to prove their citizenship before receiving government healthcare benefits. But the Congressional Research Service admits that there is no verification mechanism in the bill. No wonder Rep. Joe Wilson yelled, “You lie! ” at this point in the speech. And don’t forget: Obama intends to provide an amnesty to illegals anyway, making them eligible for all federal programs.

By the way, I insist that President Obama call Rush Limbaugh, Fox News and Sarah Palin and apologize for calling them liars.

Obama’s Deceit: “…under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund
abortions…”

The Facts: Every attempt by pro-life congressmen to add specific language ensuring that your tax dollars won’t be used to subsidize abortions has been defeated by pro-abortion liberals in committee. The legislation requires that everyone receiving a federal subsidy (your tax money) under the proposed law be able to buy insurance that covers abortion. Even the _Associated Press_(http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D99SLQBG0&show_article=1)
and _Time Magazine_
(http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1918261,00.html) admit that.

And did you notice that when President Obama said it wouldn’t cover
abortion there were no cries of outrage from the dozens of pro-abortion
extremists in Congress? They know the fix is in and that abortion coverage will be included.

Obama’s Sleight of Hand: Last night, Obama told Americans who already have insurance that they have nothing to worry about. He said: “Let me repeat this: nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have.”

But this statement is different from what he has said in previous speeches on healthcare. Previously, he claimed: “If you like your health care plan, you’ll be able to keep your health care plan, period.”

Details are important. Why did Obama go from saying “you’ll be able to
keep your health care plan, period” to “nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have”? The answer is simple. Most Americans get their
health insurance from their employer and they generally like it. But once a government-run health insurance company (the public option) is established, many businesses, no one knows how many, will opt to pay a fine and stop providing coverage if the government is going to assume that responsibility. Millions of Americans will lose the coverage they have and like, even though the legislation doesn’t “require” it. But the legislation just makes that outcome very predictable.

Obama’s False Promise: “Now is when we must bring the best ideas of both parties together…”

The Reality: Conservatives have introduced 40 pieces of legislation to
reform healthcare. None have been let out of committee by the Democrat
majority. In the House, Speaker Nancy Pelosi hasn’t included Republicans in negotiations for months. Obama has “locked” the White House doors since April – not inviting the congressional minority even once since then to negotiate. When Obama says he wants bi-partisanship, he means conservatives have to embrace his unacceptable Big Government, high cost, deficit-inducing ideas.

I could write a dozen pages, but you get my drift. It was a partisan
speech long on distortions and short on facts. One more observation to close: President Obama expressed the same disdain for dissent and energetic debate that is quickly becoming a leftwing theme. He referred to the lively debate this summer at the grassroots as a “spectacle” and “bickering,” and added, “The time for games has passed.”

This is no game. Your freedom is at stake. If this bill passes, Congress
will be creating another huge entitlement program. Big Government will be taking on an even bigger responsibility for your welfare and with that a
greater demand on your income and standard of living.

But the president needs to be reminded that in America, in contrast to
Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela and Ahmadinejad’s Iran, vocal, robust dissent is not only our right, it is our obligation when government and politicians go too far. Brave men and women have died for our right to speak-up and no one, including the president, gets to decide when the debate is over.

Brilliant post.

Thanks. It hits the high spots for sure. I am sincere when i say that i will be interested in seeing the responses to this one. I am often amazed how some can ignore the facts regardless of the side you are on. There is no bipartisan anything in this health care plan. The facts are being squashed and few question his excellency's statements. I have said this many times and it is now my mantra regarding this regime.

WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE.

70 plus looks but noone has tried to dispute my post..........

I am startled that Noone actually visits our humble Rx PoliticoPub, what with it being buried deep in the creaking bowels of a sports handicapping website.

Perhaps he caught a link about his music career and then surfed his way southward past the Rubber Room, Site Promotions and the dreaded Other forum

Never was a fan of Noone's band, but I've got a notion that HuskyFan may have wooed HuskyGal at least once or twice on a late moonlight ride with one of their tunes

Maybe after the bullshit storm Bo threw on those labor union folks today will help with some sort of response to my original post. The fucker is still campaigning instead of doing the job. He is selective on his interviewers and is obviously in a tizzy that Fox does not suck his cock like the other major networks. He ignores anyone that does not march lock step with his agenda. This guy has NO interest in bipartisan politics. It is his way or nothing. That is why there is a backlash. At least other politicos (Right and Left Wings alike) will fake some bipartisan shit to make us think they are "compromising" on some issues. This guy is scary in so many ways. He makes Clinton look like a saint when it comes to the truth. Clinton was AWESOME compared to this guy.

WAKE THE FUCK UP PEOPLE!!!!!!
