President Denounces “Disinformation” Campaign against His Health Care Proposal
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 22 August 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 08/23/2009 10:14:05 AM PDT by John Semmens

President Barack Obama came out swinging against the “wee-weed up” opponents of his health care bill, claiming that contentions it will lead to runaway government spending are unfounded.

“Using past cost overruns in Medicare and Medicaid as a forecast for my reform is misleading,” Obama declared. “My bill has provisions that will prevent irresponsible spending.”

“First, my reform will ensure that any woman who wants an abortion will get an abortion,” Obama pointed out. “This simple procedure will save the government a lifetime of medical expenses that would otherwise be incurred tending to the needs of these unwanted children.”

“Second, my reform calls for careful cost-benefit analysis that will avoid expenditures on low-yield outcomes,” he continued. “Statistics show that the majority of medical spending occurs in the last few years of people’s lives. This only prolongs the agony of the feeble. It would be more prudent and merciful to cull these individuals from the herd by implementing a well-funded and robust ‘end-of-life’ counseling program.”

“Third, my reform will cut spending on unnecessary frills,” Obama said. One of the “frills” targeted for reduced spending is anesthesia. The idea is that it will make surgeons work faster—saving both on the lower expenses for anesthesia and fewer physicians’ hours that have to be compensated.

“So, it should be clear that those contending my plan will lead to bankruptcy are misleading people,” he concluded. “We are in the process of gathering information that will hold these false witnesses accountable.”

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs explained that the unfamiliar phrase of “wee-weed up” used by the President meant that, “essentially, he’s calling his opponents a bunch of bed-wetters.”

Hey Barry, your disinformation begets opposing “disinformation”.

Have you read the bill(s) yet cause given your repeated inability to explain the garbage in simplified terms to the American people has brought you what you must now reap.

Seriously though.........

Thanks for the ping John. Another head shakin’, glint in the eye parallel that easily could become truth with the radical O Learyists currently at the helm.

It’s mutiny time.

LOL! You could actually believe that he'd say something like this. He's hard to satirize.

“disinformation” = truth = what the government doesn’t want us to know.

You guys saw the satire tag, right? Not that I’m a fan of Zero’s healthcare, but even he hasn’t said this stuff yet.

Way to go Onada. You just touched off another bomb telling people like myself that we’ll have to pay for abortions. I know it’s difficult for the Marxists to understand that many of us do not see the world as they do.

I consider abortion murder. There are no gray areas here. If Onada thinks I will ever acquiesce to abeting this crime he is making a serious miscalculation.

John, with each day, every little bit extra that Obama unravels, your parodies come closer and closer to the truth.

Please DON’T take that WH speech writer’s job when they offer it to you...(LOL) you are that spot on with your ‘commentary.’

The only “disinformation” about Obama’s health care plan is coming from Obama himself.
