Hmmm, comparing himself to JFK, not going to go there.....

[TexasNative2000]

“I knew John Kennedy. John Kennedy was a friend of mine.......”

[bray]

Worst economy since FDR. He had no business sense either.

Pray for America and Our Troops

[popdonnelly]

Roosevelt and Kennedy were Scrooges compared to Obama’s spending spree.

[charmedone]

Didn’t Kennedy and Roosevelt both die in office? Hmmm.

[tophat9000]

BHO, your no JFK

[coconutt2000]

Behind the myths about those two historical figures are two personality types that we don’t want to see in power ever again.

"President Obama Now Comparing Himself to FDR and JFK"

They both died in office.

[clamper1797]

I would rather he followed FDR’s way out ...

[foobarred]

“Too much, too fast.”

Bullcrap. This makes it sound like he’s an overachiever.

It’s more like ramming things through before anyone finds out what really happened.

[JavaJumpy]

Right now I can’t think of anything except President Wee Wee.

[smokingfrog]

What do you get if you cross Woodrow Wilson with Jimmy Carter?

Barack 0bama.

Behind the myths about FDR and JFK are two personality types that we don’t want to see in power ever again.

While that statement is true on the whole, I'd still prefer either or both of them to this Empty Suit any day. I mean, at least we somehow came out on the other side of them -- the Empty Suit, I'm not so sure we will.

[dalereed]

He must be trying to outdo the worst President of all time, FDR!!

[TigersEye]

He is like FDR. See the link at the end of my post to read about FDRs attempt to institute the idea of collective rights (as opposed to individual rights) in American law and society. This health care bill is the most certain way to do it and have it pervade law and popular opinion completely.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I oppose Health Care Reform (HCR) because it is a direct assault on individual liberties. I think that is its main purpose.

HCR is not just about rationing and wealth redistribution. It's about the end of all individual rights as the corrosive effects of the new collectivist basic human right to health care spreads throughout the legal and political system like a virus.

Congressman Anthony Weiner says that health care is not a commodity. If health care is not a commodity then doctors and nurses are not free and sovereign citizens. If health care is a right then health care workers are slaves to that right who must serve it. No health care worker could refuse to provide their services, for any reason, because that would violate the patient's basic human right to health care.

That means that health care providers have no individual rights. The collective right of the people to receive health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set their fees, their hours or change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it is a right that is provided by the government to all not protected by the government as something possessed by each person. It is also a state right because it supersedes the individual rights of others when the two come into conflict.

It isn't stated in any of the bills that a patient's rights to care supersedes a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights are always adjudicated in the courts. The legislation simply establishes the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the patient's collective right to health care.

Weiner’s view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. Collectivist because it is superior to an individual right. Fascist because it is overseen by one entity the Federal government. Totalitarian because the Federal government is the true possessor of this collective right and the administrator and enforcer of it as well.

Congressman Weiner's view is the underlying philosophy of the entire Health Care Reform legislation the House and Senate have put forth. Consider the setting up of community watch dogs to monitor various health parameters of citizens in the Senate version of the bill. Look at pages 382 - 393.

TITLE I—QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS

Even the citizens themselves will be subject to state set regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the human right of universal health care. It isn't the individual's liberty that is being protected by that it is the state's control over its health care system that is being guarded. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights?

Second Bill of Rights aka FDR's economic bill of rights (An early attempt to embed collective rights into American politics and society.)

[Ticonderoga34]

I doubt that FDR or JFK ever used terms like, “wee weed”.

[Trod Upon]

Long time smoker—there’s hope yet!

[CharlesWayneCT]

He’s comparing himself to a cripple and a drug addict?

[himno hero]
