Is Obama already backing off universal health care promise from campaign?

GOP political consulant Christopher Coffey is telling Fox News that Barack Hussein Obama has not even taken the oath of office, and he is “already distancing himself from his campaign promises.”

News reports now claim Obama will focus on providing a huge stimulus package that could cost as much as $700 billion over two years. “There are vague promises of spending cuts to accompany this proposed stimulus. The details of his campaign tax plan are now in flux and earlier promises of a balanced budget seem destined for the back burner,” said Coffey. “In the days leading up to the election, Barack Obama was the candidate who wanted to balance the budget, cut taxes for 95% of working Americans and provide universal health care. He made these promises notwithstanding the financial crisis and subsequent bailout.”

What, exactly, has changed since Election Day?

Obama to voters -- keep the change.

He’s morphing into George H.W. Bush or Richard Nixon!! LOL

[SMCC1]

That says nothing about him going back on healthcare.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

We probably have the next four years to see what happens, unless Obama is officially found to not be a legal U.S. citizen.

[malia]

Are you in favor of universal healthcare?

[YellowRoseofTx]

Typical lib politician, say anything to get elected, mean nothing you say.

We have an ineligible Kenyan about to be POTUS. That’s about it!!

[umgud]

Geez, no universal healthcare. Next he’ll probably back off on buying my gas and paying my mortgage.

I was thinking more along the lines of Clinton. You know, “He kept the promises he wanted to keep”.

[sickoflibs]

We need to covertly encourage democrats to demand this, But we need a strategy to defeat it, ala 1994.

[Mojave]

Mark Levin calls him Barack Milhous Obama.

[soroptimist]

Universal healthcare is going to be expensive since demand will be unlimited.

Well, before election day, the shots were being called by a first term United States senator who had no idea what he was doing.

Now the shots are being called by his staff of advisers, who are experienced, qualified, and have no desire to be dragged down by political failure.

>>>>He’s morphing into George H.W. Bush or Richard Nixon!! LOL<<<<<

I was thinking the same thing this morning.

At this rate the KozCreeps and DUmmies will be calling for his head before he takes office.

Barack O’Nixon.

Barack O’Bush.

"He’s morphing into George H.W. Bush..."

Dang!
You beat me to it.

To his credit, B. Hussein never said "Read my lips..."

[Recovering_Democrat]

Fine with me. The guy is a liar, let’s hope he lied to all the sycophant idiots in the press and his other citizen, and non-citizen cultists.

The most delicious aspect of all of this is the gnashing of teeth on the thumb-sucking far Left. They thought that he was going to turn America into a Socialist powerhouse along the Cuban/Venezuelan model, but economic gears are turning that are causing him to backpedal. If the economy's in the tank, there are no sheep left to fleece for their 21st century Worker's Paradise. I think they're also fearful that they won't be able to force-feed enough of their manifesto to us by 2010, before misled sheeple wake up and realize they've been had. There will always be a percentage of the constituency who are genetically hard-wired for stupidity and dependence, but they're afraid that the Muddled Middle - the 'swing vote' - will write them off as an experiment of good intentions.

Only if he’s smart.

“We are in the midst of a financial and economic crisis, just as we were in the weeks leading up to the election. The real difference is that now Obama must govern, and his pledges were designed to secure an election, not to secure an economic recovery,” Coffey told Fox.

Another democrat who will say anything to get elected.

[pray4liberty]

Obama intended all along to kick it to the States. The Obama voters have been had.

There are some promises he made I don't want him to keep!
