Obama Refuses to Pledge He'd Accept Health Care Plan Limits On *His Own* Family
Vanity comments on this ABC article ^

Posted on 06/25/2009 6:46:24 AM PDT by quesney

Elites often propose health care solutions that limit options for the general public, secure in the knowledge that if they or their loves ones get sick, they will be able to afford the best care available, even if it's not provided by insurance.

Devinsky asked the president pointedly if he would be willing to promise that he wouldn't seek such extraordinary help for his wife or daughters if they became sick and the public plan he's proposing limited the tests or treatment they can get.

The president refused to make such a pledge, though he allowed that if "it's my family member, if it's my wife, if it's my children, if it's my grandmother, I always want them to get the very best care.

“Couple a years down the road and he’ll be braggin’ about how he put SS in the black!”

Shhhhhh! This is Rahm’s secret plan and I don’t think he’d take kindly to your spilling the beans...

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Obama is heading down that path as no one is keeping him in check."

You nailed it. This nation is in deep trouble.

It scares me to think that I've gotten to the point where I'm thinking as crookedly as the Chicago mob. Yikes!

“Understatement of the year. The GOP should have a megaphone and be shouting what is happening. But we hear almost nothing”

Probably knowing that the fascist media won't broadcast it anyway. Secession and guns will probably be the only fix. Of course the Rats know this so they will grant amnesty to any illegals that will populate the Red States so a secession vote never comes to pass...and we know about the slow whittling away of our 2nd amendment rights. How is that for my conspiracy theory?

Even if he did pledge it...he’d be lying. I’d venture to guess that even if ANY of our legislators or elite pledged it, they’d be lying. A single payer health plan will immediately set the stage for a black market for health care for those who can afford it.

That’s ultimately what’s so corrupting about The Chicago Way. Once everyone starts thinking this way, everything Obama does will just seem like “business as usual” so they’ll shrug their shoulders and become too apathetic to try and change things. Chicago has endured this kind of thinking for decades, and it’s no accident that people like Obama and Rahm, marinated in this corrupt culture for decades, would think and behave as they do. To them, it’s all second nature.

Thank you! Interesting that it is a singular -— most people treat it as a plural. Yes, those old college courses do sometimes come in handy. I am waiting for some use for my time spent on Heraclitus in a philosophy course.

That's the "you never step in the same river twice" guy, isn't it?

One thing I haven't found a use for yet is my Old Norse course.

Romans, Exactly my point. In the days of old, a teleprompter simply displayed a pre-written speech.

I sincerely think with Zer0, someone is keying in the words to say, especially during the "So Called" press conferences.

He is a total fraud, in my opinion, let alone a young man from Kenya.

What a total load of crap!
