President Obama's Divisive Health Care Speech

White House Transcritpt./The Lid ^ | 9/10/09 | The Lid

[Shellybenoit]

As expected, when President Obama stood in front of the SHMOTUS and the Most Powerful woman in the world last night to deliver his heath care speech, it was laden with lies and half truths. What wasn't expected was the venom toward his opponents included in his some of his remarks, here are a few highlights:

.... There are now more than thirty million American citizens who cannot get coverage.

WOOOH! Wait a second! What happened to 47 Million? Up until the speech he had always said there were 47 million. Mr. President I demand to know what you did with those other 17 million uninsured people.....

[Eric in the Ozarks]

17 million people should be feeling a lot better today.

[radioone]

Evidently the WH Focus Groups didn’t like the speech last night....now “O” will be back to TV today.....”let me clarify the clarification”............

[Salamander]

“Mr. President I demand to know what you did with those other 17 million uninsured people”

Soylent Green is people.

[gov_bean_ counter]

He is going back on TV to rebut Sarah. She had a blistering Facebook post within 45 minutes...

Consider this

The bully pulpit power of the presidency

One woman, a laptop and a Facebook account

.now “O” will be back to TV today.....”let me clarify the clarification”............

Yep...he’s on TV again...right now and FOX is covering it...I’m turning it off...I just can’t stand to listen to him for one more second.....”I don’t know what it is, I just LOVE nurses....hahaha Michelle knows about it!” He’s disgusting!!

[spectre]

Those overweight Nurses are going to be shocked all to hell when ObamaCare dictates they can't be treated for any condition resulting from obesity...

Idiots!

Obama says he is going to save enough from one huge, inefficient, wasteful government program, Medicare, to pay for an even larger (eventually) also sure to be enefficient wasteful government program, Obamacare.

DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT BRAVO SIERRA?

Can you possibly trust or believe after the stimulus, bail-out, and Cash for Clunkers fiascos that this is what will happen?

No.

He says he wants to inject competition...by providing an entity that does not have to ever worry about making a profit. That's competition?

Read the bill the Democrats put forward. it is a HUGE government bureaucracy.

...and, it will lead to government officials deciding the standards (by his own admission of the Advisory Committee he mentioned) for who gets coverage and when the get it...basically, for older Americans and others with significant health conditions, it will amount to death panels. So who's the real liar?

In the end, the only one who addressed the entire Joint Session and spoke the truth was South Carolina Congressmen Joe Wilson. And he did it with just two words...YOU LIE!

...and then, afterwards, Sarah responded and took Obama to the woodshed:

In fact, after promising to “make sure that no government bureaucrat .... gets between you and the health care you need,” the President repeated his call for an Independent Medicare Advisory Council -- an unelected, largely unaccountable group of bureaucrats charged with containing Medicare costs. He did not disavow his own statement that such a group, working outside of “normal political channels,” should guide decisions regarding that “huge driver of cost ... the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives....” He did not disavow the statements of his health care advisor, Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, and continuing to pay his salary with taxpayer dollars proves a commitment to his beliefs. The President can keep making unsupported assertions, but until he directly responds to the arguments I’ve made, I’m going to call him out too. - Sarah Palin, September 9, 2009

OBAMA HEALTH CARE BY THE NUMBERS

And if the number of uninsured is declining why do we need Onadacare?

[Verginius Rufus]

Well, 47 is more than 30. But now he’s talking about American citizens—the other 17 million must be aliens (here legally or illegally).

[dools007]

Looks like The Messiah’s Onadacare speech is already blowing back at him. It is instructive that Onada and his band of angry commies cannot seem to come even close to rising to the occasion. Are they really that dumb? How could they screw up the so-called uninsured number. The number 47,000 had been repeated so many times. Mayhaps they finally took some of the illegals out of the 47,000 number.

That would be about right for them since they would not have to defend including illegals in the first place. Only problem is they set themselves up to explain how his administration went from 47,000 to 17,000 unemployed. And if that is happening, then why do we need Onadacare?

I love it when circular arguments come full circle and houses of cards collapse.

I woke up dreading what I was going to read and hear about Onada’s Onadacare speech today. Instead, I’m one happy retired old soldier. Onada really is the gift that keeps on giving. “When Irish eyes are smiling.....”.

[Vaduz]

.... There are now more than eleven million Mexicans who cannot get coverage.Always have truth translator on when Obama gives a speech.

OMG. Are you serious? He’s back on TV? This is really getting ridiculous. What a thin-skinned loser. Does he ever do any real work? I seriously think he sits around all day reading blogs on his blackberry. For the (so-called) president to stoop to responding to every negative line tossed out about him is beyond comprehension. Way beneath the dignity of the office.
