Video: Gibbs: Obama Willing to be One Term President to Pass Obamacare

OK- So what he really means is that Obama is willing to be a one term president if he can ram a government run health care system on America with a public option.

From the video: President Obama would be willing to lose out on re-election chances in order to get health care, other "important things" done.

Funny, George Bush risked his presidency on winning the War in Iraq. Barack Obama risks his presidency on swallowing America up under Big Chicago-style government.

And Americans are ready for him to be a one term president. He can leave now if he’d like.

[fish hawk]

Why not a one term president and NOT pass the Obamacare package. Doesn't that sound better?

[Jmouse007]

All Obamessiah cares about is DESTROYING the United States and replacing it with socialism ala AmeriKKK of A, no matter what the cost! He is a disciple of his mentor irreverand Wright.

How frickin’ noble....

[Jeff Head]

I hope he's comfortable in the role of an ineffectual, completely neutered, lame duch Prsident in his 2nd and 3rd year of his 1st term as well then.

...and, after 2010, only a little over a year away...if they do pass it, it will get overturned and voted out.

The slumbering giant is stirring and when he wakes up completely he is going to be madder than sin...and is going to take it out on the dems and anyone supporting these monstrosities.

If Obamacare is so great, why would he be a one-termer it it’s passed? Wouldn’t the newly healty masses re-elect him in a landslide?

[TigersEye]

He is willing to be a one-termer to get Health Care Reform. It is the reason his cohorts like Pelosi, Reid and others are bashing American citizens. They aren't trying to intimidate citizens into changing their views they are trying to corral the other congress critters into voting for it. HCR is the biggest game changer to ever come down the pike. Understand what HCR is really about or we will lose the America our Founding Fathers gave us.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I oppose Health Care Reform (HCR) because it is a direct assault on individual liberties. I think that is its main purpose.

HCR is not just about rationing and wealth redistribution. It's about the end of all individual rights as the corrosive effects of the new collectivist basic human right to health care spreads throughout the legal and political system like a virus.

Congressman Anthony Weiner says that health care is not a commodity. If health care is not a commodity then doctors and nurses are not free and sovereign citizens. If health care is a right then health care workers are slaves to that right who must serve it. No health care worker could refuse to provide their services, for any reason, because that would violate the patient's basic human right to health care.

That means that health care providers have no individual rights. The collective right of the people to receive health care would supersede the provider's individual right to set their fees, their hours or change their occupational status or even decide how to apply their skills and knowledge. A collective right, by practical definition, is a state right because it is a right that is provided by the government to all not protected by the government as something possessed by each person. It is also a state right because it supersedes the individual rights of others when the two come into conflict.

It isn't stated in any of the bills that a patient's rights to care supersedes a provider's right to set fees and hours etc, but it doesn't need to. Rights are always adjudicated in the courts. The legislation simply establishes the foundation for the courts to rule in favor of the patient's collective right to health care.

Weiner’s view is collectivist, fascist and totalitarian. Collectivist because it is superior to an individual right. Fascist because it is overseen by one entity the Federal government. Totalitarian because the Federal government is the true possessor of this collective right and the administrator and enforcer of it as well.

Congressman Weiner's view is the underlying philosophy of the entire Health Care Reform legislation the House and Senate have put forth. Consider the setting up of community watch dogs to monitor various health parameters of citizens in the Senate version of the bill. Look at pages 382 - 393.

TITLE I—QUALITY, AFFORDABLE HEALTH CARE FOR ALL AMERICANS

Even the citizens themselves will be subject to state set regulations on their behavior in order to fulfill the human right of universal health care. It isn't the individual's liberty that is being protected by that it is the state's control over its health care system that is being guarded. How much clearer can it be that these bills abrogate the concept of individual rights?

Couldn’t he just be a one year Resident?

[budwiesest]

If Obamacare is so great, why would he be a one-termer it it’s passed?

Because that's the price he's willing to pay to put America in chains. My, how he must love this country.

Michelle: "Baby, it's alright to be proud of America now, you are President."
"Man, twenty years of church is weighing on me hard, baby."
"But you need to give it up. Hating America was fine on the street, you know, to get ahead in Chicago, but you've made it to the top, baby."
"I know, I know, but everyone around me is 'Chicago', what can I do?"
"Tell you what, you need to meet some new people, and make some new friends. I have an idea: let's take a vacation. A vacation to Alaska."
"Alaska!"
"Yes, it's big and wide open, the SS might even let you carry a gun, you've always wanted to carry a gun, haven't you?"
"Yeah, but my Blackberry is just fine. It's got all my friends on it, too."
"But baby, that's the problem. They're only your friends 'cause they got you where you are today, and they need you, you don't need them, don't you see that?"
"Look, I've got a big day tomorrow, can we talk about this later?"
"Sure, but think about what I said. And remember, it's OK to think about what's good for you for a change, and not always what's good for 'them'."

Maybe by the time he’s through with it, Presidential terms will be extended to 80 years.

[webschooner]

Hey Baghdad Gibbsy, tell your @sshat boss there is no need to come back from vacation — just make it a permanent vacation.

Øbozo is going to be a one term loser regardless...

Come the end of 2010, Hillary will probably resign her Sec of State job and go on the Øbozo attack so she can run against him in the 2012 dimwit primary. And, while that's happening, half of Øbozo's minnions (Bill & Hillary staffers in their prior life) will jump ship and start it all over again for Hillary.

What an outstanding question, my friend. Could it be that that he knows whats best for us? /sarc

Seriously, while the Kenyan might well be willing to be a one term president, I guess the real question is how many congressmen are willing to be unemployed over it?

[bobaloobob]

It really does matter to him....what it comes down to is...if he can push this thru in one term? He won’t even desire another term.

He will have enough money to last a lifetime in luxury....wanting nothing.He has set himself up w/pharmas’ and Insurance companies and affilates and government funded groups(non-taxable)like ACORN many more non-profit branch organizations that feed off taxpayer money...this is where he launders his money.

....where all he has to do is ...sit back and manage his money.Who is this GUY??? A community Organizer.

How do people think he got elected?

I promise you he did not get elected by the populous = the electorial vote of the USA. When I voted at the polls I chose some Repubs.& libertarians...I pressed “ENTER”...the screen blinked and showed me a straight democratic ballot w/all the circles dotted and waiting for me to press enter again.

At that moment I presumed that it didn’t take my vote and started to press again....but looked up and saw a straight democratic ticket and froze at the enter button.

I want to say today and I hope every one on here hears me. Obama is not a one man show.A few compared to vs. the populous of people in the US have ROBBED your’s and my ass...because we’re stupid.

They have schooled us to be subjects of their laws and they know we will abide by their laws.Because and only because we are fools...they RAPE us and threaten us w/death...if we reject their laws (even though their laws are only for us to abide by) and confront them...we have no voice.

Liberty and freedom is our response to them...but it’s only words because people are afraid.They have no GOD...they don’t hear the voice of GOD.There is no fear in God!

GOD said,”Be strong and courageous...and don’t be afraid...don’t be discouraged..I am w/you wherever you go.

So why don’t we war against them???

[dr_who]

Maybe he’ll resign before he finishes his term.

[fish hawk]

"so why don't we war against them"?

As we speak, I picture a black helicopter and at least five black SUVs with tinted windows heading for your house. I'm just joking.....I hope.

[bobaloobob]

No your not! Damit!

I just heard one come over my house and I went out with my rifle......cause I thought it was ...you know who...and I hide behind a tree waiting for ‘em to bust the door down.

Well....they were afraid to drop the ropes....now I know they are afeared of me.Next time....i’ll be watching for ‘em.

(maybe they heard about that still I have out back....probably the IRS. Let it happen CAPT’n...I ready for ‘em.
