President Obama, vowing to succeed in health care reform where President Clinton failed, claimed progress in early May after a meeting with industry officials, who seemed open to his call to reduce spending by $2 trillion over 10 years.

But a major new national attack-ad campaign has the potential to put a dent in Obama's plans, with millions of dollars coming from one of the backers of the "Swift Boat" attacks that wounded John Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.

Conservatives for Patients' Rights, founded by multimillionaire investor and former hospital chief executive Rick Scott, began this week airing a 30-minute infomercial on some cable networks warning Americans of a health care takeover.

I don’t care who finances it. As long as SOMEBODY is taking on Communism, it works for me. FOX needs to do a story about the Communists who are backing Obama’s superspeedway to Communism.

Democrat and former governor of Colorado Richard Lamm summed up the Daschle-Obama-Hillary! (DOH!) kare program very nicely some twenty years ago; to wit, seriously ill people, especially the elderly, need to die and get out of the way.

What more do Dem-voters need to know?

The Dims have been so successful with their health care sob stories that most people do not even know that you can buy health insurance on your own. Most people believe health insurance (or “health care” as they miscall it) only comes from an employer or the government.

rid this country of the vermin takeover of something that don’t need fixing
in a socialist manner.

Obama is a liar and cheat and is simply laughing at us. I sent him a letter indicating that I was very unhappy with his plan to end TRICARE for military and their families and put all military, retirees, and their families on MEDICAID. I spelled-out the reasons I thought this was unacceptable and spent some time making the letter concise and polite.

Here is Obama's response. I guess "transparency" means to him telling voters to go pound sand.

"NBC needs to know that if they run this fake 'documentary' ... and it contains any falsehoods, which is likely, given his track record, they could face an FCC violation and big fines," SEIU said in a post on the group's Web site.

MORE THREATS?

'fake documentary', falsehood track record indeed

I don't recall anyone proving Kerry's case? LOL

Ooooh, I’m so skeered, SEIU. The stooge Obama’s whole “presidency” is a fake documentary.
