Red-state Democrats are being asked to risk their seats.
Millions of Americans watched President Barack Obama's speech last night to a joint session of Congress. Much of it was familiar, having been delivered in at least 111 speeches, town halls, radio addresses and other appearances on health care. But his most revealing remarks on the topic came on Monday, at a Labor Day union picnic in Cincinnati.

It was a gamble that failed...that went absolutely bust for anyone reading past the platitudes and campaign-style rhetoric.
Obama says he is going to save enough from one huge, inefficient, wasteful government program, Medicare, to pay for an even larger (eventually) also sure to be enefficient wasteful government program, Obamacare.
DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THAT BRAVO SIERRA?
Can you possibly trust or believe after the stimulus, bail-out, and Cash for Clunkers fiascos that this is what will happen?
No.
Read the bill the Democrats put forward. it is a HUGE government bureaucracy.
...and, it will lead to government officials deciding the standards for who gets coverage when...basically, for older Americans, it will amount to death panels.

Thanks...please pass it around as far and wide as possible.
As an aside, the only one who spoke the whole truth tonight, who addressed the entire Joint Session, was South Carolina Congressmen Joe Wilson. And he did it with just one word...LIAR!

Obama spoke truth. He wants to be the “Last President”.
And, the First King.

I loved the look on Pelosi’s face when Obama was called a liar.

Sorry. I was watching a Claude Rains movie...

I like Claude Rains. You didn’t miss much. Just more of the same from Obama.

I know a friend who has taken to keep a roll of BOUNTY hand towel handy near the computer monitor because whenever they see 0Bama's evil face on the screen they spit on it.
I guess they probably have the cleanest monitor within 50 miles.
