By now many are used to the ongoing manipulation of facts perpetrated within the health care debate, but as the President attempts to regain control of his own message his claims and statistical manipulation have crossed beyond the borders of absurd. In a conference call for his campaign organization, Organizing for America (formerly the Organizing for Obama), the president backed up his claims of how he intends to fulfill the promise of cost savings within Medicare without cutting benefits. The President's solution is simply to put America on a weight loss plan. According to the President, "If we went back to the obesity rates that existed back in the 1980s, the Medicare system over several years could save as much as a trillion dollars."
The problem with President - Err - Dr. Obama's assessment is that is A) it simply isn't true and B) how exactly is the US going to return to 1980's obesity rates.
As Politifact, Factcheck.org, The Centers for Disease Control and others have pointed out the Presidents claim, also made in 2007, based on a left-wing think tank study has...

what an idiot
I still cannot believe people voted this clown into office.
This from the smoker in chief and his overweight wife.
Will he deny medical care to his surgeon general?
To the rice fields....
And he picked a slim person as surgeon general to deliver this message, didn’t he?
If you put air in your tires we can stop importing oil.
Pray for America and Our Troops
So typical - his own wife out weighs him and is getting porkier by the minute, stuffing her face with buttery lobster every chance she gets and expanding her rear end. But he still feels the need to lecture the masses.
just don’t eat any of that rice...
Best way to put “fat” folks (all those fatter than Husssein) on a diet is to ration food. Or to hyperinflate the currency... oh wait - that’s what he’s already preparing for with the estimated $9 trillion deficit...
Destroy a country utterly, while many cheer at the Change, then starve them until only enough people to serve the political elite remain. Brilliant!
By now most realize the Obama shuck and jive act when they hear it -— He just talks in a riddle of lies. Been the stock and trade of street hustlers for centuries.
His math is faulty, and the Commie can no longer hide behind the “illusion”.
This week I have come to the conclusion his minions are deliberately trying to provoke a conflict where he can call for Martial Law.
We must mock and embarrass them now, and push at the State level for a civil 10th Amendment rebellion.
Let his unemployed supporters turn on him and take the brunt. It is coming. No job, no benefits and the illusion of Hope Doppie Change gone, do you think they will be silent?
Do as I say, not as I do.
Obesity! No problem!
Hussein signs Executive Order: No More Lard Asses!
Stroke of the pen -— Law of The Land!
1 Trillion?!?!?!?!?!
We need one of those inspirational posters that shows Obama speaking with the caption
“He just making it up as he goes.”
The trillion dollar figure gets reported and repeated without any substantiation. Then it is absorbed as a fact.
How much money will be saved in the “Cash for Caskets” program?
Well, checking our tires has saved trillions of barrels of oil.
I guess I was surely set straight. At least for a nanosecond or two. Otherwise, every concern I voiced, has come true and TEN-FOLD at that!
Ya beat me! :-)
Heil 0!
“Let them eat Cake” /sarcasm
