Facing a recent erosion of public support for health-care overhaul, President Obama lashed out at his opponents Saturday for spreading "outrageous myths" on the Internet, television, and at town hall forums.
President Obama talks about health care reform Thursday in Washington.
Republican leaders, in turn, said it was Obama who is guilty of playing "fast and loose with the facts."
They repeated their assertion that the president's proposed government-funded public health insurance option would destroy the current private insurance-based system.
"I'm glad that so many are engaged," Obama said in his weekly radio address. But it should "be an honest debate, not one dominated by willful misrepresentations and outright distortions, spread by the very folks who would benefit the most by keeping things exactly as they are."
Obama emphasized that, contrary to the assertions of many, illegal immigrants will not get health insurance under a reform plan.
"That idea has never even been on the table," he said.
He said the charge that funding for abortions would be mandated is false, as is the notion that federal "death panels" would be established to discourage care for the sick and elderly. Watch as the president debunks what he calls the myths about health care.

Always count on CNN.
Always count on Pravda.
Allyson “Public Option” Schwartz (D-PA) is talking about the wonders of ObamaCare and their “public option” on FOX right now. “Public Option”. Is she stupid or something? “Public Option”. She sure doesn’t talk as though “Public Option” she is very bright. “Public Option.”
Well, he SHOULD slam the outrageous myths about this bill...such as, You can keep the insurance you now have, and You can keep your own doctor, and the biggie, which is, It will not add to the national debt. (He IS talking about some of these, isn’t he?)
Oh man, Obama brought up “Death Panels” again, Sarah is in his melon. He is imploding before our very eyes
We need to kill Obamacare. I don’t want Republicans to compromise on this because it’ll just make the reality of gov’t run healthcare come true down the road. THE PEOPLE DON’T WANT IT. How hard is this for Washington to understand?
The Kenyan says don’t believe all those republican outrageous myths, believe my outrageous myths.
It would be easier if the Kenyan had a plan he could point to.
Barry...you're nothing more than an "outrageous myth."
Get over yourself.
Bama hasn’t slammed anything.
According to this article all he did was say “nuh-uhh.”
Being slammed is like what Dennis Miller said about Nancy Pelosi and how she is a “dispicable aura killer” that “puts the ugliest possible face” on anything she talks about. THAT is a slam.
Whats the next headline from CNN, “Obama SLAMS Scots For Release of Freedom Fighter”?
Ummm...what bothers me about Obamanation Care is this:
The Great Zero is using tax dollars of the working Americans to pay for HIS advertising supporting the passage of this horrific plan.
It is honest.....
.....You just can't handle the truth.
We can believe BO, or we can believe whats written in the bill.
which means more after the bill becomes law?
Zero is right. Illegal immigrants will not get health insurance under a reform plan. By this time next year there will no longer be any illegal immigrants. That the next thing he will be pushing.
Sean Hannity read the questionier that our elderly would be required to answer for “Quality of Life” and how they felt about it. Some of the questions were so disgusting and obviously sinister I thought it was Dr. Kevorkian writing them.
One had to do with loss of mobility and there were like 4 or 5 choices. One was like “I wouldn’t mind/be effected at all”. Then, “I’d be inconvenienced, but it’s OK”. Another was to the effect the person would “be greatly hindered”...and the last multiple choice answer was something like “I’d rather not live like this”. It sent chills up my spine and further proved the Big Zeros flat our lies.
Well then stop counting them as "people who do not have health insurance".
Pinocchio is shocked, shocked he says that others would lie.

Well, it’s better than “wee-wee” ;>) Guess Obama likes to speak in compound, three letter words...? What’s next our of his mouth.,,,”doo-doo”? (oh, sorry...that’s already coming out ever time he opens it)
He always struck me as the dog chasing the car. What happens if he catches it? It’s almost like he has no consistent plan in any direction. Outside of “Spread the wealth around”
