Obama: 'If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out'

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.

>> Obama: ‘If you misrepresent what’s in the plan, we will call you out’

I was called out once in 5th grade and got my ass kicked a few times by older kids. Bastards got me with my back turned.

It’s a treat to have OB walk us down memory lane especially in light of his school address to our children.

Who will call Obama out when HE misrepresents the “plan”? He won’t even call it what it really is!

Translation: “If you talk about the details of any health care bill, we will call you the sort of names we always call people who aren’t lefties like us.”

I’m watching the address now and John McCain was so proud to be part of this mess he’s proposing. You need to add him and Olympia Snow to this placard.

'If you misrepresent what's in the plan, we will call you out'

Right back at ya' Mr. President. In fact, lets get started.

TOTUS: If you like your healthcare plan, you can keep it.
Truth: We'll just stack the deck in favor of the gov't option so your provider has to fold up shop.

Well, Barack baby, if you’re really calling people out, I’ll choose 30-30s at 200 yards, as soon as you have time.

That’s his new “tough guy” ‘tude that Maureen Dowd, Olby et al were asking him to do. He is a lawn jockey for the Left.

Please tell me if I distill this 'plan' incorectly.

Obama offers a plan 'of last resorts' for those who cannot afford the cost of 'regular' insurance'. Government collects money to fund without providing work product (confiscation ). Insurance companies are forced to take on 'risk' which accompanies 'no turn downs'. Moreover, buisness, if they find they cost of insurance for their employees in excess of the price of governement coverage, any buisnessman will opt for the cheapest....he is running a buisness.

How can the "Big Bad Insurance" companies compete with coverage (albeit poor coverage) from a plan offered by those who print or confiscate money. Therefore, Mr.Obama lied when he said noone would be forced to give up their insurance coverage.

I am calling that bastard out!

I think 0bozo needs to take a lesson from Chris Rock on how not to get your @$$ kicked (re. health care un-reform debacle).

Hey, I just saw a speech on national TV full of lies about their health care plan — where should we report it?
