I cannot for the life of me believe that a President would get up and use the pulpit to LIE ON BEHALF of a Cancer Patient to try and SELL his SOCIALIST Health Care Program to Americans.

This has gone beyond being a circus that this Admin is making out of these Great United States of America!

Very sad, indeed!

Obama's Real-Person Health Care Story Not That Real

09/18/09

President Obama -- like presidents before him -- loves a good vignette. White House speechwriters are all about a narrative and the Obama crew, especially, is all about the story. If a tale doesn't pass muster, well, who'll be the wiser?

And yet, facts do matter. Presidents attempt to persuade their countrymen to support policies based on heart-wrenching stories of human suffering. But when that anecdotal evidence is shown to be bogus, or exaggerated, it can undermine the chief executive's point -- and, perhaps, his policies.

After I raised questions about its accuracy, President Obama has dropped from his last two health care speeches an inaccurate reference he made about the health care travails of an Illinois man, whom Obama claimed had died after his insurance company declined to pay for his cancer treatments.

When Obama spoke to Congress about health care reform on Sept. 9, he attempted to put a human face on his push for a provision barring insurance companies from dropping patients with pre-existing medical conditions.

While not citing the person's name, the president said: "One man from Illinois lost his coverage in the middle of chemotherapy because his insurer found that he hadn't reported gallstones that he didn't even know about. They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it."

It's just not true, which I pointed out in my Chicago Sun-Times column. I confirmed with the White House that the man Obama was referring to was Otto Raddatz, from a Chicago suburb. His insurance company did indeed yank his coverage in April 2005. But after a fight led by his sister, Peggy, an attorney and the Illinois attorney general, Raddatz got his coverage reinstated in a few weeks and never missed any needed treatments. And he did not die until Jan. 6, 2009.

I raised questions about the Obama claim with the White House on Sept 10. The White House told me that Obama's speechwriters picked up the story from Slate and never vetted the facts independently. If they had, they would have realized that the Slate report was erroneous.

He is a political bully, as well as, a political pedophile. I remember my brothers using this psychological pity kick to get me to do their chores for them. It has no place in politics. And just another example how the left will twist things to gain favor. And they keep saying we are liars.. lol what a joke.

Oh and one more thing to add..

Can you imagine what this man and his wife lay in bed at night and laugh about, before going to sleep?

"Look honey.. There goes another lemming!

People sure are pathetic and naive. They actually believe all my gobbledygook.."   While laughing among themselves kissing each other good night.

Where is Obamas public apology for insulting the American people? He obviously thinks we lack the capacity to grasp reality.

His whole campaign was very similar, to the way Hiltler made his way to the top of the ladder. Of course time makes some people forget or succumb to apathy. And guess what else. Obama wants his own private military.. hmmm...????  sounds very familiar.

Obama is proof positive that man is the only animal that is capable of lying to himself & believe it. And he believes, as HITLER did, that if you create a lie & repeat it over & over to the people eventually they will believe, too. Just like the way he lies about ACORN, Rev. Wright, Van Jones, etc, etc, etc....... But sooner or later people get fed up with it & deal with it. 2010 IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER & 2012 IS NOT FAR BEHIND! It won't be hard for anyone to honestly answer the same question Reagan asked the American people:
"Are you better off now than you were 4 years ago"?

In the end this may all be a great lesson, but before it comes to that we all need to keep focused & not be swayed or intimidated. WE WILL BEAT THIS!

American people were ready for a change. You hit the nail on the head when you said that if someone lies to people enough and pushes their words, like drugs down our throats many will just give in and follow.. Lemmings!!!  He came in when our political structure was weakened.The media smeared Bush for so long that the people were just ready for someone new to bring life to this country. Obama is the Elvis Presley of politics.. Handing out his scarfs to his lemmings.. He studied psychology.. He knew the statistics of people that would believe him before he even started. Just as Hitler did.

This man DID NOT DO ANYTHING FOR ILLINOIS WHEN HE WAS A SENATOR!!!

Sooner or later (my bet is on later, as in "too late"), Americans will realize we've all been punked by a pendulum we push left and right, but remains attached and controlled at the top - by the real Money Men (globalist, socialist, fascist, zionist).

The list of damnation to America by Democrats is only rivaled by that of the GOP - one in the same. For every FDR/LBJ "raw deal" cited, there is a "T.Roosevelt/W.Wilson" administration that created the funding for it. For every "Obama doubling" of government, there is a "Bush tripling" of government that preceeded it.

Divide and conquer...

New World Order - brought to you by the CIA/MSM team orchestrated by GHW Bush (including his protege's Clinton & "Barry" whatever his real name is).

Bush=Clinton=Bush=Obama=UN/NWO=end of American "sovereignty".

OMG next thing you know Obama will be pointing to Daily Kos articles as fact to support his next round. Probably has already used them as a source a few times from as bad as the lies have been, hell you do know he use to write for them. ACORN of the Internet united the people behind anything but truth.

Still the sheep take one step closer to the slaughterhouse not realizing that the sheppard has one very long nose.

Obama’s Direct and Lucrative Ties to ACORN
by: sher zieve | published: 09 16, 2009


Since Obama announced his run for the presidency of the United States of America, some us have been reporting on the direct ties--both ideological and financial-..-between Obama and his voter-fraud and massive-..corruption organization ACORN, the (even then) soon-..to-..be-..State-..run-media refused to report the truth. Note: This was similar to their close-..to-criminal refusal to report on Obama’s ties to known and convicted terrorists and multiple other anti-American factions.

Now, however, video tapes of ACORN’s willingness to assist in setting up brothels with foreign children to be used as sex slaves and promises from ACORN workers as to how to lie to the IRS and scam the system have emerged on the internet. Videos of ACORN sleaze from no fewer than four cities have been shown and more are said to exist--and are promised to be shown soon. This is the same--if not larger due to the ObamaGrants via his “stimulus” bill to the criminal organization-..-ACORN that Obama said would “shape his presidential agenda.” Could this be what Obama is attempting to gain total control of the Internet and scrub all information detrimental to him? You betcha’!

Is it any wonder that the Obama presidency is shaping up to be the most corrupt and most oppressive anti-American administration in USA history?

Thus far, any and all attempts to investigate ACORN have been blocked by ObamaThugs and the Democrat-run Congress. The reason? They have benefited greatly from ACORN’s voter fraud and many might not have been elected or reelected without it. That is why it is so amazing that, this week, the US Senate actually voted (83-7) to at least cut off ACORN’s housing funding. This must now go to the Uber-leftist and almost totally corrupt US House of Representatives..--the place where all past attempts to start an investigation of this criminal enterprise has been stopped.

But, this time--perhaps for the first time in history-..-millions and millions of We-the-People are watching them and giving our input. We have finally begun to tell our would-be Overseers and Suppressors that this is OUR country!

As a reminder, the below are only a few of the direct ties and activities that the Obama pretender-..to-the-throne has engaged in with ACORN. Many may now view them with newly refreshed eyes:

In a number of crucial cases, Obama was the Attorney for the Chicago ACORN chapter and he used them to assist him in his run for the Illinois State Senate in 1996
In 1992, prior to his working as ACORN’s attorney, Obama was Executive Director of ACORN subsidiary “Project Vote” Obama trained ACORN workers
While sitting on the board of the Woods Foundation, Obama and domestic terrorist William Ayers—who is also a major Obama fundraiser—arra..nged for grants for ACORN
While both on the board of Chicago’s Annenberg Challenge—Ayers.. and Obama with Obama as Chairman—funds were funneled to ACORN
In his November 2007 speech to ACORN, Obama stated: “I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drive in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work.”
In his run for the Democrat presidential nomination, Obama paid ACORN subsidiary “Citizen’s Services, Inc.” over $830,000 to engage in ACORN ‘get out the vote’ activities (these would later be called the Obama-ACORN Voter Fraud Alliance)
ACORN is falsely registered as “non-..partisan,” as its leader Maude Hurd endorsed Obama for president
Tax dollars collected from US citizens are paying for this Obama and Democrat Party fraud voter fraud group. Did you know that?


For those of you who hadn’t before seen who and what Obama is, do you see it now? I sincerely hope and pray that you do. The rest of us have been waiting a long time for you. The USA is for all its legal and true citizens. It is not for the criminals--no matter what elevated heights and positions they may have achieved…or usurped.

hehe :D. that is funny!

the clocks joke goes like this:

A man dies and meets St. Peter at the Pearly Gates. As the Good Saint is looking up the man's name in the Book of Life, the man notices that there are clocks everywhere. He asks St. Peter about them, and St. Peter replies "Every person is given a clock, and whenever they lie, the hands move forward one second". St. Peter then points to a clock and says "See, that's Mother Teresa's clock. It hasn't moved because she never told a lie." St. Peter then points out another clock and says "That is your clock. You told some lies, so the hands move forward a few seconds." Curious, the man asks about Barack Obama's clock. St. Peter rolls his eyes and says "it's in Jesus' office. He's using it as a ceiling fan."

this is a flexible joke, and can be applied to anyone you choose, but it works best with politicians

Ben X is "Boycotting the Liberal MSM!"

 
The more he takes this issue directly to the American People, the more he hurts the chances for the Dems to retain their seats in 2010 and 2012 as the people have come to associate the Democratic Party with Obama even as they associated the Republican Party with Bush.  Much of what he is saying is simply not being believed anymore by those whom have done their homework.  It’s going to hurt the Dems in a big way.  It is very typical for this administration to run with “half truths” and associate themselves with sleazy organizations (along with the rest of the Dems) if it fits their agenda.

A majority of people are highly wary of this plan for socialized medicine for one reason or other.  Most people are solidly against more deficit spending.  Some people are afraid that a cold bureaucracy will decide against their own acute care in a cost to benefit analysis.  Some people are against losing their options.  Some people don't believe the government can manage anything well.  Some people are afraid of losing more of their personal liberty.  Some people are afraid of more bureaucracy.  The list goes on and on. 

People are really getting tired of this administration desperately pulling out all the stops to try and force this down our throats, including using some alarming tactics more reminiscent of an authoritative government than a true democratic form of government where people are truly free to express their own reservations!  They are getting tired of the infomercials masquerading as news programs.  They are simply getting tired of the efforts of the government, under the umbrella of this administration, to nationalize everything and completely control the dialog in anyway they think they can get away with.

Time is not on the Dem’s side and they know it.  The moderates and independents are really starting to show “buyers remorse.”  I predict a huge correction in Congress in 2010.  Then this administration will have a REALLY hard time getting anything passed.

But for all the rock throwing nobody seams to be offering up ANY soulitions??? IT"S broken it needs to be fixed if you can do better lets see what you got?
 "If your not part of the soulition your part of the problem"
your forfathers built all this for you and instead of keeping up with the prevenitive maintence you alow
decay to set in and when someone steps up to atempt somthing, anything because no one person has all the right ancers....people filled with negativty and hate, want to block any type of progress. We must atempt somthing....not doing anything is worse than doing somthing wrong.

You talked about our forefathers setting these things up and us letting them decay. Please read the constitution.

Our forefathers set up a government that was small and light at the federal level to provide for the defense of the nation and ensure liberty. Even regular taxation was not set in place until after the civil war. All things not directly covered in the constitution were to be left to the will of the voters in each state. There was not national welfare or health care system, not even social security or medicare.

The entitlement mentality is seizing hold of so many. We are entitled to the equal right to earn a living, to own a business, to access health care, to live how we wish, to own a gun, to attend a church. In no manner are we entitled to take from those who have to buy these things for those who don't and charity is only charity when done so through free will. We have no constitutionally permitted right to a single payer system in fact the constitution speaks clearly against formation of large and out of control federal government.

If a state's voters choose to offer unemployment, and medicaid in their state that state shall set up a funding mechanism for it and provide for their own. In now manner should California be able to charge those in New York or Florida taxes to cover these programs for California. Neither should the will of one state to offer these programs force other states to do the same. If Oregon wishes to allow legalized marijuana, then Arizona should have no right to challenge that sovereign will.

Our forefathers did not build these things, they warned of these things tearing down all they had built.

Andy
