Obama is about to begin his Town hall in Montana. Post your comments here. Sen. Max Baucus doing the intro now.
Supposed entire transcript: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2009/08/barack-obama-montana-healthcare-town-hall-text.html (I would like to know the last name of the woman who introduced him... Katie something)
This is the transparency The One promised. In fact, you can see right through him...
Obama’s defense of his health care overhaul reminds me of an 8 year old girl begging for a pony. “But Dad, I’ll take care of him; he can live in our back yard, he won’t be any trouble at all, don’t you see?”
Isn't that his goal?
The Medicare program cost the taxpayers in 2009 $ 408 BILLIONS. There are 43 million people on Medicare which means each person cost $ 9,488 per year.
Now if we have 46 million new people in this new socialized medicine program and let us assume each will cost $ 9,488 a year then the cost of this new socialized medicine, Medicare not counted, is approximately $ 436 BILLION a year.
Now the Liar said that he is going to cut waste by 2/3 i.e. each person is going to cost $ 3,150 a year instead of $ 9,488 which mean they are going to receive the worst quality care because this means that doctors and hospitals will be paid much less and hence very bad service and quality health care. Even with this super bad quality and service health care i.e. $ 3,150 per person per year, the new socialized medicine program will still cost the $ 145 BILLIONS a year.
In other words no matter what the LIAR says the tax payers are going to pay at least $ 145 BILLIONS a year in new taxes to cover the new socialized medicine program. But knowing the government super waste the number in reality is at least $ 300 BILLION a year in new taxes to pay for this new socialized medicine program.
Do you want to get more scared? Imagine 300 million people are now forced to be on socialized medicine which will eventually happen if we allow this bill to pass. In this case the tax payers will pay as a minimum $ 945 BILLIONS a year in new taxes and more realistically $ 2 TRILLIONS a year in new taxes.
The US Secret Service was also called in for the joker posters.
Somewhat OT but from this meeting today- there was a picture of him holding someone’s baby in this yahoo article:
http://news.yahoo.com/s/time/08599191667800
Nothing new in the article, but the baby in the picture is reaching out touching his face, while Obummer leans his head back away from the baby, eyes shut tight, mouth shut tight, and I just thought it was kind of a telling stance. As if he doesn’t like babies and thinks they’re mistakes, or something. I’ve seen lots of pictures like this in my large family of four generations, and nobody was ever leaning over backwards away from the baby.
Very very good point, ic...if hardly anyone applauded the “critical” question of Hussein, then you know this guy probably isn’t for real.
Where is his family? Who is he? If he is for real, then that is great. But you’re right: the support for guns and the Constitution is greater in the West/Rockies than in the east.
People should’ve been whooping him up.
Smells like a plant?
ping,...I want to hear your AARP story... :)
Alice in Wonderland....
Sentance first ....then the trial...
What you said made me think of this. You know, he hates health insurance companies because he blames them for his mother’s problems when she was dying of cancer. Maybe he’s right to blame them - I don’t know - but we should be aware of this as it pertains to his agenda. Which is to eventually destroy them.
It’s too bad he did not ask those questions right off the bat. But I expect Obama would have danced around those as well.
Thanks for link, PghBaldy.
panaxanax, what I heard on the clip was: Randy stating his name, O heard it, then O got a drink, then Randy repeated his name.
“we should be aware of this as it pertains to his agenda”
I believe it does skew his thinking to a degree. He mentioned something about this in one of his books. He talks about being in his mom’s hospital room when she was arguing with the insurance company on something they refused to cover.
But if this is the crux of it, he doesn’t need over 1,000 pages filled with what amounts to a total govt takeover of our lives in order to fix it, and I’m sure he knows that.
Yes, my thought too. Why pick Belgrade? Looks very remote. But then, it is a lot easier to stage there than in a more populated area. By that I mean it’s a lot easier to control who actually gets to be in the same space as The Marxist Onada.
These town halls Dear Leader is holding have so many plants that they better be held outdoors in the future. The plants will die if they don’t get enough sunshine. Perhaps these are the “green shoots” his administration has talked about?
