“But Americans aren’t being fooled and are discovering the truth about his plan which includes rationed care, trillions in new costs, high taxes and penalties that will destroy jobs, and even government-funded abortions.”

Yup, our fellow citizens are starting to look at the empty-suit behind the curtain! It's about time.

You know, the typical Obama ‘Chicago Politics as Usual’ smorgasbord of veiled and insinuated threats along with usual “We have to do this,” “The American people want this,” “We must have it NOW!,” “There is no other way,” etc., etc.

You get the picture. ;-)

Obama ordered up a prime-time last push on Wednesday from his media accomplices, and today will be a big day for them to be ganging up on opponents. Mostly, the targets are Democrats in the House and Senate who are rejecting his so-called public option.

Some republican needs to ask him 2 questions. Just 2 questions!!

1.) How can you tell us how great this bill is when you admit you are not familiar with the plan?

2.) If it’s so great, why did the dems vote to be exempt from this healthcare plan?

SOMEONE PLEASE GET OUT THERE WITH THESE QUESTIONS!!!!

These “blue-dogs” need to remember something when the pressure from “o” comes: He will be a one-term President. If they vote for legislation that will cripple the economy, they will be gone with him. If they weather the storm, a lack of term limits assures their personal security and they will be around long after the idiot in the White House is a bad memory...

Pushing another industry out of the country.....

The border clinics run by expatriates will flourish...making the Canadian drive a bit further...being in Texas...it's just an hour-1/2 drive....wannabet I can drive to Mexico and see an American doctor and return before one sees a physician in the proposed socialist system in the U.S.?

Yep, it worked real well when his henchmen came down to Reserve, Louisiana where they were thought they would be welcomed with open arms because Reserve is 60% black - didn’t happen! Obama, Pelosi, Kennedy, Reid - no one with a brain cell wants your stinking government healthcare!

If this passes, this will no longer be a country I choose to live in, and I won’t. We will be out of here and in a country where they don’t value death more than life.
