President Obama Says We Can Join "Greatest Generations" by Passing ObamaCare - Video 8/22/09
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | August 22, 2009 | BrianinMO

Here is video of President Obama's Weekly Address today, August 22, 2009, in which he undertook to "debunk" what he called "distortions" put forward by opponents of his Government Health Care plan. He also invoked the phrase "greatest generations" to describe what this generation can become if we pass Government Health Care. That would seem to be a veiled reference to the World War II Generation that is often called the "Greatest Generation." I think a lot of people would beg to differ that moving America to Socialized Medicine is comparable to the World War II generation literally saving the world from totalitarian domination.

Here's Obama's closing words:

"This is our chance to march forward. I cannot promise you that the reforms we seek will be perfect or make a difference overnight. But I can promise you this: if we pass health insurance reform, we will look back many years from now and say, this was the moment we summoned what’s best in each of us to make life better for all of us. This was the moment we built a health care system worthy of the nation and the people we love. This was the moment we earned our place alongside the greatest generations. And that is what our generation of Americans is called to do right now." . . . (Watch Video)

A large percentage of the “greatest generation” has passed on....You want to “pull the plug” on this and other crackers.

Keep this crap up and the air will be filled with thousands of objects with a specific gravity of slightly over 11.0!

The Narcissist in Chief wants a legislative monument to himself.

As always, it is ALWAYS about him!

Instead of discussing the merits (?) of his plan, Zero has to appeal to people’s egos instead. ‘Hey, if you support me, you’ll be great too’!! What a turd.

You’re a sick man Baracko! EVERYONE in “the greatest generation” helped win WWII. Your crappy scam, ObamaCare, demands that ONLY “THE RICH” sacrifice. Why don’t you ask your freeloader voter base to put a little “skin in the game?” And don’t try to compare your CommieCare to the Americans who fought WWII. That is something you know very little or nothing about. The soldiers of WWII WERE NOT freeloaders with their hands out looking for government freebies. This pisses me off!

Obama has lost the argument, it’s obvious. All he does is speak in platitudes and catchy phrases. But he never gives details on this piece of socialized medicine.
