President Says He will Sacrifice Second Term for Health Care Reform
A Semi-News/Semi-Satire from AzConservative ^ | 22 August 2009 | John Semmens

Posted on 08/22/2009 7:08:23 PM PDT by John Semmens

In a bid to stiffen the resolve of wavering congressional Democrats, President Barack Obama boasted that he will put his reelection on the line if that is what it takes to get a bill passed and not “cower from confrontation like a former occupant of this office did when faced with similar opposition.”

The “cowering” predecessor would be former President Bill Clinton who backed off from his administration’s health care legislation as opposition poured in from voters across the nation.

Press Secretary Robert Gibbs explained that “as far as the President is concerned, his most important accomplishment—being the first African-American elected to the office—has already been attained. Everything from here on is pure gravy.”

In related news, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif) warned Republican members of congress that trying to stop the health care bill would be “a serious mistake.” “We have the votes to pass it without any Republican support,” he reminded. “We can write the bill anyway we want.” Waxman’s remarks are believed to refer to a provision that would strip those who vote “no” of their special congressional health care insurance and force them into the “public option” insurance category that would be established under the proposed legislation.

we still don’t want it. rationed heath care and only ultimate care for those between the ages of 14 to 40 others will be opted NOT to receive care esp the newborns and elderly, the people who need it the most.

How does the Kenyan plan on making Obamacare permanent?

Seems simple to repeal it.

Pat Buchanan just roared hilariously at this. I agree. Said he is getting used to the helicopter and looking for the new one.

Obama is BSing again.

He shall have neither. The American people are waking up and shall not swayed.

Even if it passes, the tidal wave in 2010 will wash away its supporters and it will be overturned.

Obama will be an impotent and irrelevent lame duck President in the 3rd and 4th year of his first term.

I think Obama is in it for the Money.....He is going to make all his friends multi-millionaires, their kids and family will not want for life.
This is one explanation, a Graduate of Chicago Political Pay to Play is playing big time with BIG money.

Just a guess, but I think I see a Profile of Friends in Entourage.

Baracko knows that once he gets this un-American fiasco passed, next up will be “amnesty” for 20 million new freeloading ‘RAT voters.

Yes and Obummer will take down almost the entire democratic party with him because he does not give a damn about it. The only thing he cares about is himself, his agenda, his egomaniacal arrogance and his legacy in the history books and that is what is driving him.

Looking like Obama isn’t the First African American President of the United States, but rather the First African Arab Muslim Teleprompter of The United States!’
Its NOT too Wise for OBAMA to call President Clinton a Coward! Thats NOT Very Smart, but then most of Us Dont accuse ONAMA HUSSEIN of being an Intellectually Bright Light Bulb:-)

Excellent, John! By the comments thus far, it’s obvious you’ve mastered your craft! :o)

Well done John! The first four paragraphs of this article sound so credible that you have to notice the source to know that it is satire.

I liked this part too:

In a conference call to over 1,000 religious leaders, President Barack Obama revealed what he called his "hole card" in the battle for passage of his health care reform.

"Opponents of my legislation may have the rich, the racists, the evil-mongers, and the 'unAmericans' on their side," Obama contended. "But I have God on my side."

The President asserted that "unlike our opponents who shy away from the tough issue of life and death, God and I have ‘partnered’ on this crucial issue. Who shall live and who shall die will be a joint decision."

Obama cautioned against "letting the scaremongers deflect us from the righteous path. When the highest heavenly authority and the highest earthly authority are united, only those on the side of the devil will oppose us."

BHO2 doesn't care. He's a committed Leftist who knows once he's been exposed he won't be re-elected. He's grabbing all he can and running, trying to enact every liberal wet dream social program they can force through Congress before time's up.

How about he "sacrifices" a second term (it rightly belongs to him because he's black, you know) and doesn't get health care passed, or anything else.

And gets impeached for fraudulently representing himself as an American citizen.
