National Review ^ | September 11, 2009

Charlatan-in-Chief The core of Obama’s medical-care plan is the promise of something for nothing.

Thomas Sowell.

‘Hubris-laden charlatans” was the way a recent e-mail from a reader characterized the Obama administration. That phrase seems especially appropriate for the Charlatan-in-Chief, Barack Obama, whose speech to the joint session of Congress was both a masterpiece of rhetoric and a shameless fraud.

To tell us, with a straight face, that he can insure millions more people without adding to the already skyrocketing deficit is world-class chutzpah and an insult to anyone’s intelligence. To do so after an analysis by the Congressional Budget Office has already showed this to be impossible reveals the depths of moral bankruptcy behind the glittering words.

Did we really need CBO experts to tell us that there is no free lunch? Some people probably did, and the true believers in the Obama cult may still believe the president, instead of believing either common sense or budget experts.

Even those who can believe that Obama can conjure up the money through eliminating “waste, fraud, and abuse” should ask themselves where he is going to conjure up the additional doctors, nurses, and hospitals needed to take care of millions more patients.

If he can’t pull off that miracle, then government-run medical care in the United States can be expected to produce what government-run medical care in Canada, Britain, and other countries has produced — delays of weeks or months to get many treatments, not to mention arbitrary rationing decisions by bureaucrats.

Mr Sowell hits it again. Be sure to click on the link and read the entire article.

"No message has been more welcomed by the gullible, in countries around the world, than the promise of something for nothing. That is the core of Barack Obama’s medical-care plan."

And those gullible ignorant masses drag an entire free nation down with them. Keep hounding your representitives to vote no against this national train wreck known as 0bamaCare.

Satisfying isn't it? I have been calling him a snake oil salesman for a couple of weeks and last night Krauthammer called him a snake oil salesman on Special Report.

The truth is getting around, 0bama lies.
