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.

He can kiss my collective butt and then I can kick his.
Oh, please, Brer O, don’t throw us in the briar patch.
If YOU misrepresent what’s in the bill...
we will VOTE YOU out.
Back at you, Barruh.
How about we tell the truth... and you will still call us OUT!
DUH!
Uh-bama is a LIAR!
flat out LIAR! and worse...
And if you don’t misrepresent the plan you will still be called out as a Liar, a Traitor, as a Nazi....
CALL ME OUT! BRING IT ON!
***Finance Committee drops “death panel” provisions from Senate bill***
The Dingels prove that extreme stupidity is hereditary. I guess that’s all the evidence needed for mandatory sterilization.
I am beginning to despise these people with a tempered vengeance!
OH, much better that we just let you kill us off slowly one by one.
Which outcome presents the threat?
So you want to force folks to pay for it, or appoint some bureaucrats to decide what's too risky, or too expensive. Take a hike zero, and take your comrades with you.
More ‘get in their face’ crap. It’s getting old, Messiah...
And vice versa, slime bag.
Obammy afraid of tea party patriots and Sarah Palin?
The gubmint knows where to find me. Call me, please.
What part of “NO F’N WAY” does this cretin not understand?
Here is a clue: if over 50% of the entire nation is AGAINST your plan, then it is reasonable to assume that the bill probably is going to fail, if not now, then certainly later as it will present many more problems than it solves. Secret Service guys must REALLY hate their jobs right now. I wouldnt want to be in their shoes.
