Not often you get to start and end a sentence with the word debunking but Obama provided us with the perfect opportunity. He’s out there “hammering away” at supposed republican myths. He claims that it’s not true that illegal immigrants will get health insurance under reform. He says this in spite of the fact that congress would not allow the republicans to add a measure that stated illegal immigrants would not be covered. And there are several youtube videos of Obama saying it is our moral obligation to cover illegals. His next statement is a tricky one. He says it’s not true that abortions are “mandated” under the plan. But saying they aren’t mandated is a far cry from saying they will be prohibited. He says every credible person agrees that there are no death panels mentioned in the bill. This is true that the exact words “death panels” are not used but a council is described that would make life and death decisions based on life expectancy vs. cost. Finally, he says the government plan would be optional. That you can keep your private insurance if you so choose. Although the bill doesn’t out and out ban private insurance it puts into play many provisions that would run private insurance out of business within a few years. So, everything he said was just mincing words. It’s obvious he’s lying and misrepresenting the bill in an attempt to fool us into supporting it. Maybe the most offensive thing about his “debunking” is that he provides no proof to support his claims. That his mere utterances should be all the proof we need. He just expects us to blindly believe. He doesn’t seem to realize those days have passed him by. He no longer has the trust of the American people. LINK
“Oh, what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive.”
Unfortunately, the illegal alien in the WH doesn’t have a teleprompter that can remember all his lies and help him keep them “straight”.
What a nincompoop.
I love the fact that people don’t like the healthcare bill, so rather than change the bill, he changes the sales pitch over and over and over. Hopefully, he won’t discover some magic sales pitch that works. I would imagine he’s probably consulting with his focus groups right now to figure out how to spin this monstrosity so people will like it.
Lipstick on a pig is Lipstick on a PIG! I can believe the American people would fall for this?That they would want something that Obama and others have not even read.I say give this plan to the senators and other respresentives of the govt and employees that think this is a good plan and we’ll take theirs?What NO TAKERS!
