Obama's Grandma Comment at Town Hall Was Pure Hypocrisy
The Hill/The Lid ^ | 8/15/09 | The Lid

Posted on 08/15/2009 8:34:06 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

Its incredible how President Obama uses his Grandmother as a prop. It was very convenient for Obama to throw his Grandma under the bus during the campaign:

I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

Now that he is fighting for his health care plan the President is no longer calling his Grandma a racist (just the people who disagree with his plan). With a tear in his eye, at today's staged Town Hall, the POTUS said:

“What you can't do — or, you can, but you shouldn't do — is start saying we want to set up death panels to pull the plug on Grandma,” said Obama, who for a second time this week personalized the healthcare debate.

‘Obama holds the values of the finge Left. We see that clearly enough in his voting record and rhetoric. But when it comes to the hard choices, Obama is out for Number One’

So what’s his logic? “My grandma is dead so I won’t kill yours?”

OK...

Yeah, you would like his life depended on him getting through his socialist agenda at record speed.

Obama didn’t give a hoot about his grandmother- even though she raised him.

“What you can't do — or, you can, but you shouldn't do — is start saying we want to set up death panels to pull the plug on Grandma,”...this from the guy who held out for a bill in the Illinois legislature which would have permitted physicians to kill babies who survived abortions - somehow his concern for preserving life over satisfying the economic and personal conviences of the moment is not obvious to me......

Obama can dice it anyway he wants.

He chose Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel to be his chief health care advisor, and the Democratic Congress made him their policy advisor. He is the heart and soul and thinker behind this plan. And his words, his cited quotes, say all that need be said.

In short, you cannot be trusted Mr. President.

“When you start making arguments like that, that’s simply dishonest.”

Its just one feature of the straw man. You get to infer what the other (dangerous) guy longs for, then swell up and protect the adoring masses from the otherwise inevitable bad.

Kinda of sophomoric, sure. But WC Fields accurately observed, suckers will never be an endangered species.

Well his dead Grandma, my Dead sister, my dead Grandma, and my dead Grandpa have something in common they don’t need his Health plan. I’m so tired of this guy and Democrats like him. Always trying to pull the emotional strings not to make us stronger but to make us weaker and more dependent. Not to call us to rise up to heights but to rise up and then hand him the reigns to our lives. Mr. President we don’t want your help. We want you to stay out of our lives and wallets.

He only sang to his fake little choir there with him. I am remaining hopeful that the majority of people have enough sense to see him for the fraud he is.
