There she was in front of the camera for all America to see. Stricken with cancer, frightened, helpless, weeping. Then came the hug from the compassionate President Obama. It was one of the most poignant moments of Obamas health care infomercial broadcast on ABC News.
Who would not have voted to pass Obamas nationalized health care plan right there at that very moment?
Which was exactly Obamas plan.
Virtually everyone knows someone suffering with cancer like 53-year-old Debby Smith, and would do almost anything to ease their pain. But Ms. Smiths unfortunate situation notwithstanding, it was soon found out that she was a Democrat activist who was ostensibly planted by the Obama team in order to garner support for his nationalized health plan.

The “pony tailed guy”?
No. It was some female who looked a lot like she might be a DemocRAT. Having said that, I bet that “pony-tailed guy” is in hog heaven right now with Papa Baracko and Mama Michelle looking out for him. He was wanting a cradle to grave gig and now he’s going to get it.
Thanks for the tip. Don’t remember that particular instance, then again I was in my 20’s and still (politically speaking) a young skull full of mush. But I wouldn’t put anything past Slick Willie
