Coming from the man who thinks people should just take pills instead of receiving expensive treatment, how can anyone take his scare tactics seriously?

Seriously, you just nailed it. I Won will say anything in an effort to scare us into accepting his agenda.

And in that vein, consider the words of economist Thomas Sowell:

“One plain fact should outweigh all the words of Barack Obama and all the impressive trappings of the setting in which he says them: He tried to rush Congress into passing a massive government takeover of the nation’s medical care before the August recess — for a program that would not take effect until 2013! [emphasis added]

Whatever President Obama is, he is not stupid. If the urgency to pass the medical care legislation was to deal with a problem immediately, then why postpone the date when the legislation goes into effect for years — more specifically, until the year after the next Presidential election?

If this is such an urgently needed program, why wait for years to put it into effect? And if the public is going to benefit from this, why not let them experience those benefits before the next Presidential election?

If it is not urgent that the legislation goes into effect immediately, then why don’t we have time to go through the normal process of holding Congressional hearings on the pros and cons, accompanied by public discussions of its innumerable provisions? What sense does it make to ‘hurry up and wait’ on something that is literally a matter of life and death?

If we do not believe that the President is stupid, then what do we believe? The only reasonable alternative seems to be that he wanted to get this massive government takeover of medical care passed into law before the public understood what was in it.

Moreover, he wanted to get re-elected in 2012 before the public experienced what its actual consequences would be.

Unfortunately, this way of doing things is all too typical of the way this administration has acted on a wide range of issues.”

I have never seen anyone in public office, much less a President tell the out and out lies Obama does.

He is a disgrace to his office. Fear and lies are no tools a President should use to lead this country.

What makes this even worse is that the KBPOTUS will get a lifetime pension after just serving one 4year term in office while a person in the military has to serve 20 years just to a pittance of what the he will get.

They voted for him and still refuse to believe or admit they made a huge mistake.

T-Bone- They will have a chance to make up for their mistake in 2010. If they vote the same majority of democrats into office in 2010? Then it wasn’t a mistake, it was intentional.

The average citizen does not pay attention to these things. Obama knows they know more about American Idol than the topics he addresses and he makes a calculated decision to assert these falsehoods.

They voted for him and still refuse to believe or admit they made a huge mistake. They still have a chance to correct their mistake by not allowing him to be dishonest. So far, they have not been up to the challenge.
