Obama: 'If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out' Posted: September 9th, 2009 05:46 PM ET

The White House has released excerpts of President Obama's address to Congress tonight:

EXCERPTS OF THE PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS TO A JOINT SESSION OF CONGRESS TONIGHT:

I am not the first President to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last. It has now been nearly a century since Theodore Roosevelt first called for health care reform. And ever since, nearly every President and Congress, whether Democrat or Republican, has attempted to meet this challenge in some way. A bill for comprehensive health reform was first introduced by John Dingell Sr. in 1943. Sixty-five years later, his son continues to introduce that same bill at the beginning of each session.

Our collective failure to meet this challenge – year after year, decade after decade – has led us to a breaking point. Everyone understands the extraordinary hardships that are placed on the uninsured, who live every day just one accident or illness away from bankruptcy. These are not primarily people on welfare. These are middle-class Americans. Some can't get insurance on the job. Others are self-employed, and can't afford it, since buying insurance on your own costs you three times as much as the coverage you get from your employer. Many other Americans who are willing and able to pay are still denied insurance due to previous illnesses or conditions that insurance companies decide are too risky or expensive to cover.

***

During that time, we have seen Washington at its best and its worst.

Well, we're all just a-quakin' in our boots.

Seriously, this jOker thinks he can intimidate us through obvious bluffs?

FUBO. We're not listening to you. You don't exist.

Up next: reforming the “housing system.”

Then it’ll be reforming the “food distribution system.”

This is a rather shallow harmless Threat.
Obama has been called out several times and he’s been a No-Show for substace so far.
I think DeMint called Obama out to Debate just today.
More Lies from “O”
