Obama: "Public Option Healthcare desirable but not mandatory"
Fox News Channel | 9/2/09

Posted on 09/02/2009 7:35:54 AM PDT by pabianice

Breaking on Fox. Obama to take on the healthcare debate personally with speeches from White House and possibly joint sessions of Congress. Now dumping mandatory public option, aty least in public. Developing.

They're going to try pushing the co-op idea as a trojan horse for public option which itself is a trojan horse for single payer socialism.

“...and possibly joint sessions of Congress”?

For this?????

Joint sessions are for State of the Union addresses, and important speeches like war and national calamity, not as some venue for a townhall astroturf “save my ass” speech.

One thing he’s not talking about is the provision of Y1 (Year one). After the Bill is implemented you will not be able to change health insurance companies, or change your policy. If you do, you will be forced onto the Public Policy. After Y1, insurance companies will not be able to write “new” policys. After Y1, everyone will have to go to the Public Policy. It will no longer be an option.

AND, if this doesn’t give Obama what he want’s, he’ll find some other way to lie to the public.

I sure hope the public can see through this fraud.

Did I get this right? Barack Obama is going to make a couple of speeches. WOW! That is unusual, isn’t it? I mean, he is so camera shy.

Yep, the sacrifical leutenant is approaching with a white flag while the general masses his forces for a flank assualt.

Hey, Odumbobots! Some of us went to military school and can see this one light years away!

Oh! You forgot about We The People who have the ability to retain lesson beyond the time required to take the test?

Absolutely right. These bills need to be walked to the shredder . . . and a new, not longer than 20 page bill needs to replace it or NO DEAL!

Don't trust this guy or the Congress.

He wants and will take anything called ‘reform’. Unfortunately, he will probably get it and the media will tout his ‘historic first term success’, his polls will rise and he will be the ‘greatest political comeback in the history of the world’ blah blah blah.

"Joint sessions are for State of the Union addresses, and important speeches like war and national calamity"

But he has a calamity: no one is listening to him anymore. This is the only way (he thinks) he can get an audience.

Two steps forward, one step back, until the yoke of Communism is around every neck, and an imprisoned public doesn’t know how to escape. Two steps forward, one step back!
