Obama's endless "talking points" are a-kin to the endless speeches by Castro and Chavez. Obama is trying to sell the public sector a pig in a poke...federal employees need not apply, they have different medical and retirement plans which the public sector cannot have. WHY NOT??? (President Bush wanted us to have the same.) Obtaining the Obama Health Care Plan would be just one more notch in the Obama gun for power; to destroy the insurance companies and their subsidiaries. Obama is anti-capitalism and anti-America. He is far more Fascist rather than Oligarchic - the more popular buzz word now applied.

The Obama presser went exactly as I anticipated.

He was off his game and seemed logically incoherent. He rambled, telling one obvious whopper after another. He promised to give us the sun, moon and stars and avoided talking about how to pay for it. He admitted he didn’t know what the House and Senate were actually cooking up but promised that all we had to do was trust him one more time and he would take care of us somehow.

He did NOT come off as at all reassuring. Especially not to his REAL audience—the wavering dem congresscritters.

Black Nationalism with a pretty face. What do you think Rev Wright was teaching for the 20 years Obama sat there in the church listening to the sermons “White man’s greed runs a world in need”?? Isn’t that the kernel of all that has to be ‘put right’?

What Obama says is a flat out lie. All you have to do is go through some of the bill.

Obama repeats the lies over and over as though they are a fact.

They clearly are not.

The stupidity of liberals never fails to astound me. They can’t concede that Obama is a miserable failure so they blindly support his ideas hoping that they can get one positive point to justify their support. And now Obamacare. They rally under the idea of “free healthcare” completely unaware that ‘nothing is free’ and ‘anything that sounds too good to be true probably is.’ The idea that they can get healthcare without paying for it is so profoundly stupid I wonder how liberals got the mental capacity to get out of bed, go out, and vote in the numbers they did.

November of 2010 seems so far away...

When he is about to unleash a whopper of special magnitude, Obama emits a tell-tale sign. He prefaces it with "let me be clear" or "understand this."

He also frequently peppers his speaking with, "As I have said before.." or "As I have always said..." as if by virtue of the mere fact that he is repeating himself, the words he utters are the unvarnished truth. It is an excerise in false authority.

His rhetoric is so full of these kinds of 'setups' that I cannot imagine him gettng better than a 'C' from a college speech professor. It has always puzzled me why he is lauded as such a great speaker. That is demonstrably not true to anyone who actually listens to him for content.

It is surreal to see the United States of America come to the point it has with this wicked man and party having taken over and destroy everything and bring on their totalitarian ways with their press accomplices. It is proven that Joseph McCarthy was right and people are going to come around, as they are trending towards now, to know they have unleashed these demons and what they have done to our country.

L]et me be clear: If we do not control these costs, we will not be able to control our deficit. If we do not reform health care, your premiums and out-of-pocket costs will continue to skyrocket. If we don't act, 14,000 Americans will continue to lose their health insurance every single day..

Obama is saying 14.000 people are going to lose their jobs every day. Wonder why? /s

A pig in a poke? Reminds me of something from Back in the Day...

Tom Tom the Piper’s Son, stole a pig and away he... oops!

Fed: Whadda ya got in the bag?

Tom: It’s sort of a pig.

Fed: You got a permit to pack a pig?

Tom: Well, no, I, uh...

Fed: Better come along with us. You know it’s a felony to pack a pig over state
lines?

Tom: No!

Fed: Pig-napping.

Tom: But it’s a pig in the poem.

Fed: Bought a pig in a poke, huh?

Tom: Not poke, ‘poem’... pig in the ‘poem.’

Fed: Pig poem?

Tom: Not so big, it’s about...

Fed: You making fun of the way we talk?

Tom: No! But it’s catching!

Fed: Name?

Tom: I’m Tom Tom the Piper’s Son.

Fed: Alright, Piperson, what were you going to do with the pig?

Tom: Well, the poem, it says ‘the pig was eat’, but...

Fed: Gonna eat it, huh?

Tom: No...

Fed: On a platter?

Tom: No!

Fed: Apple in its mouth? Like that?

Tom: Certainly not!

Fed: Alright, Piperson, you can go. But don’t leave town.

Tom: Thanks, can I have my pig back?

Fed: No. Evidence.

In 1964 under LBJ - when there were 2 Democrats for every 1 Republican, He decided that medicare would become the focus of his administration.

They came up with a plan that was 100% self funded by payroll taxes and health care premimums it was called “ElderCare.” It isn’t going to cost the tax payer anything other than the payroll deduction is the way they sold it. It will stay self funded by adjusting the payroll tax and the premimums they crowed.

In committee when asking the Social Security Actuarian to use the same math model and applying it as if medicare had started in 1959 and work forward to the present day, if they would have achieved the success of it being self funded. The actuarian said he would have to work that out.

A week later the Actuarian came back and said that no - it would not have met the criteria it would right now be underfunded by at least 50% and in some estimations up to 100%.

So when a Democrat tells you it is going to create Jobs, Jobs,Jobs,Jobs or it will not increase the deficit you better plan on an increase of 80% and a loss of jobs.

However this President thinking he and God have at least one thing in common - (No birth certificate) and perform miracles, and in any case he can send out his Chicago thugs and Acorn to shut the opposition up and use black mail to shut the politicians up, is bold enough to Lie to the American people without even a blink of his teleprompter eye. Then come out a few days later and say something totally opposite but since he says it so smoothly people don’t even care.

He reminds me of a magician I once saw at a carnival(not the cream of the crop) who talked to the audience about himself so that they wouldn’t notice what he was doing with his hands. He was very clever at it and had you looking around the room instead of at him - one thing wrong, in just three sentences he went from being 40 to 55 in two different sentences and born in Chicago to born in New York. They were close enough together that most people caught him at it.

In the end, Those that followed his directions as he spoke thought he was a good magician that lied, and others who alternated between his hands and his directions thought he was a lousy magician but basically honest.

The few that kept their eyes on his hands and listened to his words thought he was a lousy liar and an even lousier magician.

Obama is counting on the fact that Americans can’t watch his hands and listen to his words at the same time so he can alternate between lying and picking our pockets without provoking a firestorm of rage from a majority of people.
