Obama Reverts to Campaign Motto for Health Care Agenda (Yes we can)
NY Times ^ | 6/22/09 | Jeff Zaleny

President Obama dusted off a campaign slogan on Monday, sharply dismissing those who have expressed skepticism that the nation’s health care system will be overhauled by Congress this year.

“Yes we can,” Mr. Obama said. “We are going to get this done.”

In an appearance in the Diplomatic Reception Room of the White House, Mr. Obama praised an agreement reached last week by drug companies to help close a cap in Medicare’s prescription drug coverage. He said the pharmaceutical industry’s pledge to spend $80 billion over the next decade to reduce the cost of drugs would pay for a portion of his health care plan.

“This is a significant breakthrough on the road to health care reform,” Mr. Obama said, “one that will make a difference in the lives of many older Americans.”

The president said the move will help solve the “doughnut hole,” the gap in coverage that requires people to pay the full cost of prescriptions after they surpass $2,700 before the catastrophic coverage of $6,100 kicks in.

“It’s a reform that will make prescription drugs more affordable for millions of seniors and restore a measure of fairness,” Mr. Obama said.

Lets see if the Capon Party senators can stop this, or if they surrender like they are doing on Sotomayor.

Yes We Can -

Ration your healthcare
Kill the elderly
Make you wait years for simple operations
Increase human suffering

and, the point of it all:

make you afraid to dissent to leftist ideology out of fear of being denied healthcare for you or your family!

Kill the elderly

I've lost track of AARP and all their PAC money. I'm sure they're trying to curry favor with Zero.

The only way it can be paid for is to ration medical care and jack up your power bill to cover the higher cost.

People supporting their own torture and death sentence for the promise of “free” healthcare in their old age.

They're just "keeping their powder dry" for the BIG issues.

I used to donate money to a christian radio station (KLove)...stopped because of their puff pieces on Obama. This morning, they were pushing his ‘stopping kids from smoking’.

I figure it needs an all out war on Obama. I can’t support anyone who is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Any “Christian” that supports 0bama has identified themselves as apostate.
There is not justifying liberalism/statism/socialism with Scripture.
