He lied to you, Suckers!

Great article pm. Did you see this one?

Obama’s Tone-Deaf Health Campaign

The president shouldn’t worry about the protestors disrupting town hall meetings. He should worry about the Americans who have been sitting at home listening to him..

Excellent, pm317, as usual.

That One probably doesn’t recall even a tenth of the promises he made–he wanted the job and would stop at nothing to get it. This is not the sort of person you would want running anything. He flits about, going from one forum to another, seeking attention and the possibility to pander some more, so as to increase the positive attention. You’ll notice that he never dwells for more than a moment on the downside. Nope, in an Obumble world, everyone gets their wish, the fantasy one supplied by the Kool-aide. Welcome to the matrix.

Okay, this is funny. A little OT, but the image just cracks me the hell up:

If politicians are treated with contempt, it is because they, as a class, have behaved contemptuously. Members of both parties have shown a high tolerance for corruption. The public tends to view members of Congress as oversexed middling figures on a power trip, perhaps hoping to earn big money as a lobbyist after their time in Congress. The public mostly accepts the corruption of Congress as a fact of life, electing incumbents on the philosophy of “better the devil you know.”

However, when people we distrust and view as corrupt start wanting to mess around with our health insurance coverage while running an annual deficit of nearly $2 trillion, many are justifiably angry and will show it.

I wouldn’t urge shouting down members of Congress. I would much prefer sarcasm as a response to the demands of Speaker Pelosi. Go to a town hall meeting and begin your statement with an obsequious “my liege lord” or “if it pleases your excellency.” Maybe curtsy for them.

What’s becoming apparent to the American public is that we have an imperious Congress full of big egos and little minds, greedy, near-sighted people who are drowning future generations in debt and have the gall to demand that people calm down.

ROTFLMAO! I’d really love to see that. Someone at a town hall giving a sweeping bow, than going to one knee with lowered head, saying:

“I prithee, my liege lord, give ear to the concerns of a faithful peasant. Wilst thou not hear, in thy noble benevolence, the worries and concerns of thy subjects that cry unto thee? Hearken to us if it pleases thee, your excellency, for we are sore distressed.”

I’d pay MONEY to see that. LMAO!

Right on the mark, pm! The Emperor is being exposed, as well as Pelosi and her merry crew.

Shame on them all. I never bought into the faux promises and glib “hope & change” chant. But this is far worse than even I imagined. And faster.

I guess I should have expected it. You cannot build anything lasting when it’s perched on a rotten foundation. We witnessed the rot during the primaries. It was just a question of when, not if the house that the Obamatrons built would come tumbling down.

yYou cannot build anything lasting when it’s perched on a rotten foundation”
I agree- and that’s why no matter what comes out of BO’s mouth and what he states about this plan or any other will not stand–he and his buddies ARE the rotten foundation.

It’s the condescension of the politicians that breeds our contempt. They treat us as bumbling fools. I think they’ll find out just how smart we are next year.

You know, after reading the excellent article posted above by tzada, it occurred to me why obama is acting defensive and his minions in the WH are becoming, shall I say, “hysterical” about this healtcare debate. I think it is because, as we all know, obama was “selected” by the power elite over Hillary primarily because they believed him to be the best at “selling” the snake oil they would be offering. It’s clear obama doesn’t give a hoot about the American people or the principles of democracy, all he cares about is the “pomp and circumstance” and the perks of the office. He likes being the center of attention and being fawned over by the press and talk shows and the like. He’s his own achilles heel! Without his ability to “sell”, the emperor will have no clothes.

If obama starts losing this ability and the American people start to question him and find him untrustworthy, you can bet, obama will be gotten rid of by the very power elite who put him in the WH and HE KNOWS IT.

For the first time, obama is beginning to see that his ability to bambooozle the masses is beginning to lose its charm and so is he.

If Obama had done things like he said he would and he had a coherent plan that made sense, people would not be opposed to health care reform. Everybody wants reform but they are confused and nervous about what is being thrown at them right now.

On top of that, there was the AUGUST deadline. Just before Congressional summer recess.

He’s such a con. I wouldn’t believe a word he says. Anyone who does, is a fool.

Vindication!

Haven’t believed one single word out of Obama’s mouth since his first lie on the campaign trail.

I am surprised and delighted that vindication is coming so soon!!!

Thank goodness I was not bamboozled! I cannot imagine the deep depression I’d be in now…Oh, wait…I’ve been in that deep depression during the 2008 Demonic National Convention! That sucked! Well, I hope you bots all have to go through it without drugs and it’s 100 times worse than I felt then! It still won’t make up for the fact that this is all your fault!

Yep, they will vote for him again. Whoever he is. Thats what our braindead electorate does. They voted for MURTHA again, after he called them all racist rednecks.

It is not wise to give trust just because someone shows up. It has to be earned. So far Obama has earned Zero. It started with the primary. As the refrain goes on Hillaryis44: “Obama simply cannot be trusted.”

Love your article, pm317.

It was all a masterful strategy to hoodwink and bamboozle the voters.

from Chicago!, of course:

Give ‘em the old razzle dazzle
Razzle dazzle ‘em
Back since the days of old Methuselah
Everyone loves the big bambooz-a-ler

Give ‘em an act with lots of flash in it
And the reaction will be passionate
Give ‘em the old hocus pocus
Bread and feather ‘em
How can they see with sequins in their eyes?

pm317,

Again, thanks for this great post. It’s very, very hard to prevent the nausea I feel whenever I hear his voice, but I got through the video. I think I forgot this promise of putting the debate on C-SPAN because I probably got so annoyed about his little lecture about what “The Clintons” did wrong that I turned the channel.

There’s one line in which he mentions that there is something good about the guilt he assumes the congressmen (and women) might feel if they knew they would be caught in bed, so to speak, with insurance companies. I would just hope that someone at an upcoming town hall would ask whether or not Obama should feel guilt about not keeping this this campaign promise, especially in light of his attempt to withhold information about his early meetings with insurance execs.

That is, of course, after tzada gives her (?) “liege lord” performance. I really want to see that also.

I had the extreme pleasure of not voting for him in 2008 and I know I will enjoy not voting for him in 2012.

I attended the Dingell meeting last Thursday.After hundreds of people waited in line for a few hours the Dingell Democrats were allowed to enter in a seprate door,15 minutes earlier to get their sigs together.The room held 150-200 and the special ones hogged up the fiirst 4 rows.They began screaming before the riff raff(myself)did.Many Democrats and independents all were screamed at—now Dingell calls us members of the kkk.He said he wrote the plan and that it would pass.

I was ashamed of Obama(even tho I did not vote for him)when he lied about aarp and called on his campaign managers daughter to ask a question.He just is not an honest man,which we knew before the election.You just had to look at his friends and the chicago mob.

I like the title. Says it all. I just didn’t realize I told you so would come so quickly. But it feels good.

words to remember when thinking of backtrack,

If he says it is raining outside
Look out the window , then check the roof to see if someone is up there with a hose.

I never believed a word the guy said. But I do appreciate this line which you wrote. I think it sums everything up quite nicely.

The irony is that Obama warned the voters that they would be hoodwinked and bamboozled but the voters didn’t realize the guy warning them was also the perpetrator.

Pretty much anything Obama says is Words, just Words.

I seriously believe Uncle Teddy is behind this to give him one last broohah before he bites the dust and Obamite is happy to play alone.

Do we have to vote against him if THE USURPER is removed from Office?

Just asking…

The 3 Amigo’s ride again! Can you tell which one is Dusty Bottom?

“The same critics who say that the United States has not intervened enough in Honduras are the same people who say that we’re always intervening and the Yankees need to get out of Latin America. You can’t have it both ways.”

Has anyone seen the video of the presser Dusty had in Mexico with Ned and Lucky Day?

at parts of it BO is visible “not there” in his speech pattern. What is up with that? I am looking for the clip.

( excuse me! (embarressed)… I was looking over the cliff where my comment went and did not mean to sow any plumbers but…it’s BO’s fault!)

Echo echo echo…

Very enjoyable, Pm317.

“The president shouldn’t worry about the protestors disrupting town hall meetings. He should worry about the Americans who have been sitting at home listening to him”..in disbelief…

That may be why CNN Pres. Jonathan Klein gave notice to all of its’ producers to no longer book radio talk-show hosts as guests on CNN news programs stating that “Complex issues require world class reporting,” and that talk-radio guys are all noise and “all too predictable.” (and may just speak the truth or express another point of view so that the viewer can make an intelligent decision on their own)
“Complex issues require world class reporting”..on CNN? laughable

The American College of Surgeons is a wee bit pissed off at Obama’s demagoguery with them as villains out to chop off your leg to make a buck. They released a statement today:

Yesterday during a town hall meeting, President Obama got his facts
completely wrong. He stated that a surgeon gets paid $50,000 for a leg
amputation when, in fact, Medicare pays a surgeon between $740 and
$1,140 for a leg amputation. This payment also includes the
evaluation of the patient on the day of the operation plus patient
follow-up care that is provided for 90 days after the operation.
Private insurers pay some variation of the Medicare reimbursement for
this service.

They go on to call his remarks “inflammatory”, “dangerous”, and harmful to the doctor/patient trust. They close with a polite version of “STFU making clueless statements, you moron.”

We assume that the President made these mistakes unintentionally, but we would urge him to have his facts correct before making another inflammatory and incorrect statement about surgeons and surgical care.

Holy Hypocrisy, Batman!
Many, many thanks to you, pm317, for bringing us the most important post I’ve ever seen! Wow!

After the bail outs, Cap and Trade tax, Stimulus package and gov take over of auto industry, can you trust this Admin with your healthcare?

I guess not.

OK important comment on WaPO’s article cited by another comment on Hillaryis44. one too many redirects but excellent point

From the comments to Ezra Klein’s piece in today’s WP. This guy really nails it in cold, hard, fact…

let’s take a look at two issues you mention above and see exactly folks might reasonably be mistrustful of government in general and Obama and particular. First, there is the issue of the individual mandate. Obama’s original plan and campaign was very clear that they are plan did not include individual mandate and in fact attacked the Clinton campaign because it did. Then in March or April of this year, he had a “change of heart” and decided to include the individual mandate.

Secondly, one of the funding mechanisms talked about above is changing what you politely called the “changing the existing subsidies” to the health care system. what this of course is referring to is a change to the tax deductions for employer provided healthcare. In the campaign last year, Obama savaged McCain for his proposal to end deductions for employer provided healthcare.

So who exactly is being dishonest in this debate? Who exactly is demagoging the debate? if Obama can have a “change of heart” about an issue he campaigned on and can be so dishonest to pursue a policy that he is specifically attacked his opponent on in the last election, why are people now supposed to trust him in everything going forward? What in fact is there to prevent him from breaking his promises in the future? your editorials and comments seem to be saying that it’s somehow beyond the pale of discussion for people to question whether Obama’s plan will really be what he says it is, but there are now two instances where it will be (or might be) what he specifically said it wouldn’t be before. So why exactly should the opponents believe that Obama’s plan will really be what he says it will be, especially 10 years down the road?

PM317, sorry but my serve is stuck in the net. darn clay courts.

It’s very obvious this guy, the great 0, has never done an honest day’s work in his life. That’s not an overstatement. Having lived a sheltered life where everything is done FOR him, he has no comprehension of what real life is all about.

More from oowawa’s link up thread about Paglia’s article. She still loves him though and coos to his lullaby and soothing tone.

http://www.salon.com/opinion/paglia/2009/08/12/town_halls/

Obama’s aggressive endorsement of a healthcare plan that does not even exist yet, except in five competing, fluctuating drafts, makes Washington seem like Cloud Cuckoo Land. The president is promoting the most colossal, brazen bait-and-switch operation since the Bush administration snookered the country into invading Iraq with apocalyptic visions of mushroom clouds over American cities.

You can keep your doctor; you can keep your insurance, if you’re happy with it, Obama keeps assuring us in soothing, lullaby tones. Oh, really? And what if my doctor is not the one appointed by the new government medical boards for ruling on my access to tests and specialists? And what if my insurance company goes belly up because of undercutting by its government-bankrolled competitor? Face it: Virtually all nationalized health systems, neither nourished nor updated by profit-driven private investment, eventually lead to rationing.

I just don’t get it. Why the insane rush to pass a bill, any bill, in three weeks? And why such an abject failure by the Obama administration to present the issues to the public in a rational, detailed, informational way? The U.S. is gigantic; many of our states are bigger than whole European nations. The bureaucracy required to institute and manage a nationalized health system here would be Byzantine beyond belief and would vampirically absorb whatever savings Obama thinks could be made. And the transition period would be a nightmare of red tape and mammoth screw-ups, which we can ill afford with a faltering economy.

As with the massive boondoggle of the stimulus package, which Obama foolishly let Congress turn into a pork rut, too much has been attempted all at once; focused, targeted initiatives would, instead, have won wide public support. How is it possible that Democrats, through their own clumsiness and arrogance, have sabotaged healthcare reform yet again? Blaming obstructionist Republicans is nonsensical because Democrats control all three branches of government. It isn’t conservative rumors or lies that are stopping healthcare legislation; it’s the justifiable alarm of an electorate that has been cut out of the loop and is watching its representatives construct a tangled labyrinth for others but not for themselves. No, the airheads of Congress will keep their own plush healthcare plan — it’s the rest of us guinea pigs who will be thrown to the wolves.

Obama is a fraud…plain and simple. But, hey, we already knew that. That’s why we didn’t vote for him.
The only consolation I have is laughing in the face of my friends who voted for this narcissist. But sad watching my country go down the tubes.

Excellent video…of Obama’s lies.

Remember, with the other conversation of what IS in the bill and it’s correct determination. Obama and Congress is trying to deny the language means limited care for seniors or other unproductive citizens.

But Tom Daschle, who was and is an adviser on the Health Care Legislation and was working on it last year. Yes, he was SUPPOSED to be the driving force, HHS, but THAT didn’t work out.

Do we need to be reminded of his philosphy and recommendations for health care reform?

Doctors have to join the federal community here in dolling out treatment so that it’s fair and equitable. “Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity,” Betsy McCaughey writes, “goes too far. Hospitals and doctors that are not ‘meaningful users’ of the new system will face penalties. ‘Meaningful user’ isn’t defined in the bill. That will be left to the HHS secretary, who will be empowered to impose ‘more stringent measures of meaningful use over time’ (511, 518, 540-541). What penalties will deter your doctor from going beyond the electronically delivered protocols when your condition is atypical or you need an experimental treatment? The vagueness is intentional. In his book, Daschle proposed an appointed body with vast powers to make the ‘tough’ decisions elected politicians won’t make. The stimulus bill does that, and calls it the Federal Coordinating Council for Comparative Effectiveness Research (190-192). The goal, Daschle’s book explained, is to slow the development and use of new medications and technologies because they are driving up costs.

“He praises Europeans for being more willing to accept ‘hopeless diagnoses’ and ‘forgo experimental treatments,’ and he chastises Americans for expecting too much from the health-care system.” Now, the page numbers that I’m giving you here refer to the PDF inversion of HR1EH, the stimulus bill, not Daschle’s book but the actual stimulus bill. Betsy McCaughey just read it and she’s reporting what’s in it. So Daschle says we need to become more like Europe. People need to accept catastrophic diagnosis and forget it. If you’re told it’s over, it’s over. We can’t keep spending money on people who want experimental treatments! We just can’t do this. Now, “Daschle says health-care reform ‘will not be pain free.’ Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.” You read that right.

Daschle says senior citizens “should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age,” instead of trying to have them treated. “

Two important points in his book.

2.”Daschle says health-care reform ‘will not be pain free.’ Seniors should be more accepting of the conditions that come with age instead of treating them. That means the elderly will bear the brunt.”

OK, Obama, try and spin this.

I just got the book Paranoid Nation by Matt Towery. Ha s anyone read it yet?

En France nous avons la sécurité sociale, et le déficit est de 9 milliards d’euros, les travailleurs et petits retraités donnent de plus en plus de cotisations et de mutuelle pour ce gouffre, car nous payons pour tous les “parasites” qui vivent à nos crochets: exemple les étrangers en situation irrégulière ont les soins à cent pour cent, et depuis le nouveau gouvernement, les français qui paient sont de moins en moins remboursés, avec ma peitite retraite je ne peux plus vivre et je vais abondonner la mutuelle, nous sommes en train de crever et c’est ce qui vous attends avec ce dangereux BHO !!!

I cant take credit for the following, but its worth repeating it here..and everywhere. “obama is against capitol punishment except when it comes to the sick white elderly. Soon obama will offer a National Socialism Healthcare Clunker” program. Each family that pulls the plug on medicare mom or dad will recieve $4,500 to purchase a large screen tv”

I NEVER believed Obama for a New York minute. I know a liar when I hear one. I said all along this man was using his so called Chrisma to buy the POTUS.

I was never impressed and I did not vote for him. I am a life long democrat and I am ashamed that AMERICANS fell for this unqualified, untruthful, manipulating man.

If the health care program he is pushing passes. Pray for America. We are already heading down the wrong path. The nation was ripe for Hillary. The Americans who voted for this man changed the course of history and America is paying for it.

Anyone but Obama for “2012″

Great headline. If your cookie has a bite-sized action and your reader completes the action, I think two things happen. Their self-confidence goes up (which feels good) and their trust in you increases.
