My guess is Fox couldn’t have pressed him any harder on this … but then we will never know will we. Stay with it … its fun to watch Democrats fight. George Stephanopoulos pressed the President on an insurance mandate for all Americans … and penalties for those who don’t buy into the program. Set aside the argument that the government cannot mandate that people have health insurance anymore than they can mandate that we all eat healthy. George wonders how this is not a tax increase on the middle class … why he even went to the dictionary.

PING over to you!
"I don't care if it looks and walks like a duck! It's not a duck!" - Barry Soetoro
Simple. Apply this formula:
Your Earned Money —> Government = Tax
No matter how the “—>” is accomplished it’s still a transfer of your earned money to the government, always.
Soda tax, fast food tax, sugar tax, fat tax, prohibiting schools from having soda dispensers or serving hamburgers or other food that children want.
They want us to have the health care so that they CAN dictate what we eat. They want to control everything about us. They want to ENSLAVE us!
I do not see how its Constitutional to force everyone to BUY insurance.
Obama has flipped out. He’s gone freaking crazy, right out in front of everybody.
They already got the banks, and now student loans. They are taking over the money system.
Its not going to be good.
Listened to Georgie on Hannity the other day.
Georgie was more than a little embarassed over the last few weeks missing out on some stories.
Look for Georgie to move over to Fox before long.
George sees an opening for his old Boss. Hillary ‘12.
You got to remember too that George was the one who brought up Ayers in the debate. The leftwing mafia (media matter, kos, et al) went beserk on him.
“Through the Looking Glass” revisited:
I don’t know what you mean by “taxes”,’ George said.
Barack Hussein smiled contemptuously. `Of course you don’t — till I tell you. I meant “there’s a nice knock-down argument for you!”’
`But “taxes” doesn’t mean “a nice knock-down argument”,’ Alice objected.
`When I use a word,’ Barack Hussein said, in rather a scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.’
`The question is,’ said George, `whether you can make words mean so many different things.’
`The question is,’ said Barack Hussein, `which is to be master — that’s all.’
George was too much puzzled to say anything; so after a minute Barack Hussein began again. `They’ve a temper, some of them — particularly verbs: they’re the proudest — adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs — however, I can manage the whole lot of them! Impenetrability! That’s what I say!’
`Would you tell me please,’ said George, `what that means?’
`Now you talk like a reasonable child,’ said Barack Hussein, looking very much pleased. `I meant by “impenetrability” that we’ve had enough of that subject, and it would be just as well if you’d mention what you mean to do next, as I suppose you don’t mean to stop here all the rest of your life.’
`That’s a great deal to make one word mean,’ George said in a thoughtful tone.
`When I make a word do a lot of work like that,’ said Barack Hussein, `I always pay it extra.’
Wow, just wow.
Forgive me but I like George and his show.
““Through the Looking Glass” revisited:”
Great parody!
I have to have LIABILITY auto insurance...
I dont have to have collision or comprehensive if I choose not to.
His rejoinder was that uninsured people are treated and the cost is bourne by all. Also false. This applies to ERs ,and hospitals make every effort to collect their fees. Up to hiring collection agencies to go after people. Covering the chronic uninsured should be no big deal. It can be done without turning the USA into the DDR. Those people who don't want coverage have a right to say no, as long as they live with the results. Just like I have a right to a Wendys double cheese for lunch.
