[Petro]

Abraham Lincoln once said this of "trust":

"If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem.

[Republic]

Yes, he did. I will try to find it.

[Petro]

Oh I see...no you were clear, I didn’t notice who your note was addressed to. I know what you mean about that Obama quote referenced by “Republic” I hadn’t heard that one either. BHO is a real piece of work isn’t he?

[Republic]

I missed it...is uhbama in full self pity mode? (I hope :^)

[Beckwith]

Do you have a source for this statement in your Post #2?

“No, I want the best care for my family.”

I Googled the quote and there is only one instance — yours.

[Republic]

Nope. There is a utube video of his response to a reporters question regarding whether or not he would be under the same plan as the rest of us. I will see if it is still up...they have a way of disappearing.

But that arrogant arse said it, I heard if first on the radio.

[Republic]

Found the town hall meeting where his words might have inspired the "I want my family to have the BEST care!" and the reason why he would never have to worry about it...just like the unions will never have to because they are exempt from being taxed or fined over health care (as a reward for giving obama money), and just like congress is exempt.

Obama Health Care Plan Not the Gold Standard He Promised in Campaign?

If not, then why does the current bill exempt Members of Congress? "If you don't have health insurance, you'll be able to get the same kind of health insurance Members of Congress get for themselves." --Barack Obama, "Closing Argument" speech, Canton, Ohio, October 26, 2008

In a rare moment during last night's Democrat Party health care infomercial on ABC, President Obama was challenged by Dr. Orrin Devinsky, a neurologist and researcher at the New York University Langone Medical Center.

Dr. Devinsky asked if Obama's wife or one of his daughters was sick and the plan the President proposed limited tests and treatments, would Obama "potentially sacrifice the health of your family for the greater good of insuring millions, or would you do everything you possibly could as a father and husband to get the best health care and outcome for your family?" The short answer (something that is difficult for Obama) is "no. He would do whatever it takes."
