Funny, before reading your incisive comments I had just posted a similar one on another thread describing my opinion that Obama is a genuine psychiatric case.

I think most freepers have noticed disturbing signs.......for instance, the obsessive traits (not letting go of health care, for example), the flights from reality (ignoring the voice of the people), the arrogance, the detachment, the lack of empathy and conscience, the absence of acknowledging a power higher than himself or a religion, the restlessness and almost desperate need for roaming the world (Australia is next) and getting away from the White House, the betrayals of England and Israel, plus other characteristics that, put together, have all the earmarks of a sociopath and fragmented personality.

It's hard to imagine him having a "black" soul....I don't think his soul is operative. He runs his presidency on alien precepts and education, on ego and on warped situation ethics.

Did we ever imagine that as American citizens we would suddenly have a psycho president holding our physical and economic fate in his hands?

This is frightening stuff.

I disagree. What he's telling the Rats is: You know that once a huge entitlement program gets enacted in any way, shape or form, we Rats can just come along year after year enlarging it, enforcing it with larger powers, increasing the number of program slaves who then have no choice but to "vote" for us or maybe lose their gravy train.

I found this the most horribly telling point the president openly made. It's all about, first, drive a hammer and sickle into capitalism, then over time keep making that crack bigger and deeper until capitalism, and our freedom and form of government, crumbles.

This is Obambi's clear statement of Marxist Revolutionary Intent. This is his total transformation. He is outright saying, "The Road to Socialism starts with one step, guys, consolidating sufficient power, and my healthcare bill is the tipping point in consolidating power. Pass it and we'll have enough power to finish the job of destroying this evil country over time."

The lawmakers said Obama assured them the legislation was merely the first step

Which is a big part of the problem to anybody with a brain. Of course it's just the first step, which is what makes it so important that it be stopped.

The first step to what exactly?

Why is the take over of health care so terribly important to this Adm?

One thing seems absolute,without control of health care they can't advance to the next step in their plan of destroying our country and our lives.

Obama is a tool for an evil group who's intent is take over the USA.

To think a US President would beg, plead, with democrats to pass this bill is more than just his legacy. It sounds more like someone pleading for his life. Unbelievable and scary.

Well said. Isn’t it apropo that a majority of his most vocal supporters in the MSM and the political apparatus are fellow degenerates, defectives and G*dless heathens. From the confused homosexual deviant like Rachel Maddow, to Olberman to haters like Mark Lamont Hill and Farakahn. The average idiot I forgive , they are just part of the free lunch crowd , who think Obama is the candyman, the man who can rectify of their own failure, sloth and inadequacy.

PLEASE ASK THEM TO REPEAL THE BIG NEW FEES in TRICARE for Life, the retired Military over 65 secondary health ins. which they passed in a DOD bill. They promised our Military these benefits, and our Military have earned them.

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.) http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/99xx/doc9925/12-18-HealthOptions.pdf

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

http://www.navytimes.com/news/2009/10/military_tricarefees_blocked_100709w/

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

It is all about what is good for the Democratic Party, not what is good for the country!

One could even argue that it's not about what is good for the Democratic Party, but for Obama himself.

Obama told them that “’this is an opportunity, it’ll give us momentum”’ on other issues...


Momentum goes in both directions.

He wants the appearance of a success, so that he can use it to urge more movement on his agenda. Form over substance. He does not give a hoot what is passed, as long as _he_ gets *something*.

Begging, pleading and offering elusive *victories* does not make zerO appear strong. It makes him seem weak. He is showing that he is needy. This is not going to convince anyone who already knows it is everyone for themselves and that zerO has a recent, clear history of abandoning anyone if he thinks it will give him any short-term gain.

Most legislators are lawyers. Lawyers are negotiators. How can they not smell the flop sweat?

The donks should ask:”What is this “we” you speak of?”

I’m not saying he won’t do that. I agree he will.

I’m just saying that his “I’ll work with you in the future” shows he wants a rush job.
