The Obama pants-on-fire thing

“Let me be exactly clear about what health care reform means to you,” the president told residents of the Garden State. “First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan.  Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.”  
Obama earlier today, July 16, 2009
Witness for the prosecution
When we first saw the paragraph Tuesday, just after the 1,018-page document was released, we thought we surely must be misreading it. So we sought help from the House Ways and Means Committee.

It turns out we were right: The provision would indeed outlaw individual private coverage. Under the Orwellian hea der of "Protecting The Choice To Keep Current Coverage," the "Limitation On New Enrollment" section of the bill clearly states:
"Except as provided in this paragraph, the individual health insurance issuer offering such coverage does not enroll any individual in such coverage if the first effective date of coverage is on or after the first day" of the year the legislation becomes law.

So we can all keep our coverage, just as promised — with, of course, exceptions: Those who currently have private individual coverage won't be able to change it. Nor will those who leave a company to work for themselves be free to buy individual plans from private carriers.  [IBD Exclusive Series: Government-Run Healthcare: A Prescription For Failure ]
Communists are liars of necessity, and Obama's a communist.  Is that succinct enough?

How many millions of lives must be ruined for political lying, which has been a given feature of the game for ages, to rise to the level of a "high crime or misdemeanor"?

When people start dying from obamacare, I wonder if they will know and/or remember who was responsible. IOW, when your wife is dying because she can't get treatment, picket outside your congresscritters office with other people in a similar situation.

Of course, your congresscritter will not be there. THey will be taking their family to the exclusive elites only healthcare system.

OH MAN- honest to GOD, the turing word is quackbo. I swear the turing word generator is intelligent.

I just heard / read somewhere that the Congress Critters voted down the proposed amendment that THEY get the same care as their constituents.
I don't think that will go over well. As a matter of fact, I think if the populace is made aware of the 'all men are created equal, but some are more equal than others' attitude of their employEEs, their just might be a little firin' goin' on.
There *ought* to be a LOT of firin' goin' on.
Just sayin'

The other day I saw a bumper sticker that simply said, "Fire Congress". I've been favor of such a notion for a long time, but I really believe that it is too late for that. If the voters decided to kick them all out, our ruling elite would quickly find an excuse to invalidate the election and retain power. Only armed rebellion will save this nation at this point and I don't think that that is going to happen.
