Obama's Health Care Lies

As the city struggles to move on without Donald Walker as Mayor, David Cranshaw writes today what the autopsy will not show.

 

The state of Michigan is ordering a woman to stop baby-sitting her neighbors' kids without a license.  Big government at work; just wait until these same people are running your health care.

 

National Review has a list of the falsehoods in President Obama's health care speech to the joint session of Congress, and it's a long list.  Obama bombed on health care because the American people just weren't dumb enough to believe that the government option would save money.  The Baucus bill includes a deal with Majority Leader Harry Reid that will give a break to Nevada and three other states.  Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) says that Republicans want people to die.

 

Democrats today shot down an amendment to the Baucus Bill that would have required people to show photo ID to receive health care benefits.  They don't believe in

 

Thanks to a surge, American troops are starting to withdraw from Iraq, so why won't the Obama administration do what it promised and have a surge in Afghanistan too?

 

The Obama administration is trying to meet with Iran regarding their nuclear program.  Thirty years of talks with Iran haven't worked, so what makes this administration think that they can do something different?

 

The Obama administration wanted to regulate financial companies more than even Barney Frank was comfortable with.  Barney Frank does want to treat home buyers like infants.

 

The Supreme Court will hear another Second Amendment case in their next session.

 

The Senate version of the cap-and-trade bill seems to be even worse than the House version, even though plenty of details still haven't been written.

 

President and Mrs. Obama took separate planes to travel to Copenhagen, Denmark to lobby for the 2016 Olympics to go to Chicago, while approval of the Olympic bid is statistically evenly split among residents of Chicago.  President Obama will be making another trip to Copenhagen in December to talk about global warming, so hopefully he'll learn the folly of the green-jobs myth.

 

A Warner Robins Police Officer resigned after coming to work with alcohol in his system.

Walker Funeral 2pm Friday

As Mayor Pro Tem John Havrilla says that the city's business will continue, obviously the city of Warner Robins is grieving.  Funeral services will be Friday at 2pm at the Civic Center, and will be broadcast live on News/Talk WNNG The Patriot.  For now, candidates to replace Mayor Walker have stopped campaigning as everybody remembers Donald Walker.

 

The recession has increased the gap between the rich and the poor.  Expect that to be used as justification for tax increases on the evil rich so that they suffer too.

 

The unemployment rate that indicates "full employment" is rising thanks to the recession and the government's response to it.

 

Rep. Patrick Kennedy says that he is worried that talk radio and opposition to ObamaCare are going to lead to violence.  This guy is only in Congress because of his last name.

 

Jamie Dupree says that the Republicans' efforts to save Medicare from cuts are reminiscent of the Democrats' efforts in 1997.

 

You decide:  Are these people praying to God or Obama?  Perhaps more importantly, in their mind, is there a difference?

 

Al Qaeda bombers have learned how to stick explosives up their posteriors.

 

The northeastern United States might have its coldest winter in a decade.  How's that global warming working out?

 

The Obama administration is threatening Iran with some sanctions over their nuclear program, but they probably won't be effective even if they do get the support of Russia and China.

 

The Empire State Building is going to light up in red and yellow to celebrate the 60^th anniversary of communism in China.

 

An FBI informant who testified against a few ACORN members tells the story of how he was resented by ACORN's founder for stopping a bombing at last year's RNC.

 

Activists in Richmond, Virginia protested a strip club, but not because of the nudity.  They protested the fact that the owner put up one of those Obama-as-the-Joker posters.

 

The administration is now admitting that they probably won't be able to make their self-imposed deadline to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay.

 

Take a wild guess as to what the other language in the first bilingual Census will be.

 

Rep. Jim Marshall wants Obama to listen to the Generals regarding the situation in Afghanistan.

 

Governor Perdue doesn't care where the money comes from for flood relief, as long as it comes.

Islamic Terrorist Plots Foiled

President Obama decided that today was the day to release information that the United States has had for years about another Iranian nuclear facility.  The White House claims that it is for diplomatic leverage in meetings with Iran next week.

 

There have been three Islamic terrorist plots uncovered in the last couple of days, in Dallas, Illinois, and against the Marine Corps base in Quantico, Virginia.  Yes, all of the would-be terrorists are Muslims.

Now that waters from this flood, which some officials are calling "epic," are starting to subside, politicians are falling all over each other in an attempt to be the "compassionate" ones who use the occasion to buy your vote.  President Obama has approved a federal disaster declaration, while John "the Fascist" Oxendine and Atlanta Mayor Shirley Franklin are in a peeing match on the cost of the flood's damage.  Notably absent is Governor Sonny Perdue, who is in Panama.  Closer to home, the Little League facility had some erosion from the rain.

 

Unemployment rates dropped a bit in Macon and Warner Robins, no thanks to the "stimulus" bill.

The House Bill, which Nancy Pelosi wants to make more liberal, will destroy jobs, income, and economic activity, according to the Heritage Foundation.

 

ACORN is suing James O'Keefe and Hannah Giles, along with Andrew Breitbart, for the sting videos.  They have no standing for the suit, so this should be fun.  ACORN is also a tax cheat, so let's get that admitted in a court of law, shall we?  Unfortunately, the bill to defund ACORN could have some unintended consequences.

 

Government school students in New Jersey were forced to sing a rap about President Obama (including his middle name!) that, among other things, praises his great accomplishments.  Can anybody say brainwashing?  Another government school teacher used Obama's healthcare speech for a class quiz.

Obama quoted Ronald Reagan today to say that we have to get rid of nuclear weapons.  He still doesn't get it.

 

Would-be Honduran dictator Manuel Zelaya claims that he is being tortured and that "Israeli mercenaries" are trying to assassinate him.  At least Hugo Chavez taught him who to blame for international sympathy.

The Old and Senile wing of the Democrat Party appears to be getting kickbacks from the Obama administration in exchange for their support for their brand of reform.

 

CNN Reporter Babe Gloria Borger wants Obama to be the Godfather President in dealing with Congress.  After all, she's invested in the guy, and Congress is getting in the way of him succeeding.

 

Obama told the United Nations not to expect the United States to fix everything (or anything, under this President).  He also attacked Israel.  Muammar Qaddafi followed Obama, criticizing the United Nations and even establishing himself as a birther.  While they're talking about global warming, Fidel Castro praised Obama even as the UN leaves a huge carbon footprint.  Of course, carbon dioxide doesn't have anything to do with "climate change."

 

Chris "Tingle" Matthews warns that talk radio will "pay" if there is any anti-Obama violence.  The left-wing media is now cheering for Obama to get shot.  Transportation Secretary and Token Republican calls talk radio "trash talk."

 

Sarah Palin gave a speech in Hong Kong in which she extolled the virtues of freedom and earned the description of a "libertarian."

 

The FCC Diversity Czar says that white people should be forced to step down from positions of power so we can spread that around too.  He's also not a fan of the First Amendment.

ACORN's Rolodex

Here's a theory worth considering:  fewer traffic rules make for better behavior and safer driving.  Albany, Oregon is thinking about emulating the Dutch experiment in that town.  (Thanks to Justin for the tip)

WR Mayor's Race Gets Personal For Some

The Messiah went on five Sunday talk shows yesterday to try and stop the hemorrhaging of support for his takeover of health care.  On NBC Obama said that the debate is about the balance between freedom and the need to "look after" one another.  There is nothing noble about "looking after" anybody with somebody else's money.  On ABC George Stephanopoulos pressed Obama on whether the "individual mandate" is a hidden tax on the middle class, ignoring the facts that the Congressional Budget Office says that it would result in $20 billion in new revenues and that the Baucus bill specifically calls it an excise tax for people who do not get insurance.  The Heritage Foundation looks at the seven fatal flaws in the Baucus bill.

 

Tort reform has already been tried, with great success, in Mississippi.

 

A majority of those with no insurance support ObamaCare, which reveals something about both the uninsured and about the debate.

 

President Obama says that the economy won't start creating jobs until next year.  I thought the "stimulus," which speeds up spending only when things aren't going well for Obama, was supposed to start creating jobs immediately?  The House of Representatives is going to extend unemployment benefits for another 13 weeks, which just proves that the economy is not getting better.

 

The top Commander in Afghanistan says that there needs to be a new strategy and more troops to avoid failure in Afghanistan.

Obama is willing to consider a bailout of left-wing media newspapers that are going bust.

 

Obama wants to cut the United States' nuclear arsenal.  The best way to get rid of a nuclear weapon is to use it.  The last nuclear test was September 23, 1992.

A Warner Robins man says that he is losing work because he is supporting Chuck Shaheen for mayor.  The issue is over the fact that his employers, supporters of Mayor Donald Walker's re-election, don't want to allow him to take his company vehicle home where there is a Shaheen for Mayor sign.  The business has the right to do this.

Obama: Legalize Criminal Aliens So They Can Get ObamaCare

Opposition to ObamaCare is at an all time high, and those strongly opposed outnumber everybody in support.

 

President Obama said Wednesday that, while ObamaCare won't cover criminal aliens, that's more reason to give them amnesty.  I told you they'd try to do that.

 

The Obama administration is going to start using Michelle Obama to push ObamaCare.  This is sure to backfire, especially when she slips up and reveals herself as the elitist that she is.

 

In 2007 Obama knew that higher taxes would be necessary for his government takeover of health care.

 

Top Democrats introduced a bill yesterday to apply anti-trust laws to the evil health insurance companies.  This will be almost as effective as a fishnet condom.

 

With everybody accusing everybody else of being a racist for no good reason, it runs the risk that actual racism will get a free pass.

 

Barney Frank has introduced an expansion of the Community Reinvestment Act.

 

"Crazy" Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said that Israel "will not last long."  Ahmadinejad, along with Hugo Chavez, Moammar Gaddafi, and Raul Castro, will be allowed into the United States for the meeting of the UN next week, but the legitimate President of Honduras will not be allowed to attend because the Obama administration is stuck on stupid.

 

The White House Press Corps got a lesson on how to sneeze from HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius yesterday.

House Votes to Defund ACORN

Today is Constitution Day.  Mourn for the death of that great document appropriately.  While you're at it, watch a conservative and a liberal agree about the Bill of Rights.

 

The United States is going to scrap plans for a missile defense shield for Eastern Europe, which Nile Gardiner calls surrender to Russia.  Meanwhile, the IAEA says that Iran can make a nuclear bomb.

 

ACORN got caught again, this time in San Diego, where their employee not only tried to pick up the "prostitute," but also gave them advice on how to smuggle their underage criminal alien prostitutes across the border.  A former employee rightly called ACORN the "most corrupt group in the country," but more damning is when President Obama told community organizers, including ACORN, that they would be shaping the agenda in his administration.  Somehow I missed the part where the agenda would include smuggling underage sex slaves across the Southern border.  Also remember that ACORN only exists because of liberal socialist engineering.  The House voted today to defund ACORN.  Here's the roll call vote, including two members from Georgia.

 

Here are some of the details of the Baucus Bill, which might be a waste of time to consider because it won't go anywhere, even in the Senate.  It is public option-lite because between the mandates and regulations, government will still be running health care in the long term.  A new survey shows that 87% of employers will reduce benefits to their employees if reform increases costs.

With today being Constitution Day, I should include this one as well:  Is Health Care Reform Constitutional?  The answer is an obvious no, but nobody in Congress cares about that anymore.

 

Apparently women lawmakers are better than men, based on the fact that they want more rules and spend more money.  In other words, their maternal instincts kick in and they have a shopping problem.

Carter: Obama Critics Are Racist

The peanut-for-brains President says that most criticism of President Obama is because we're a bunch of racists, especially that horrible Joe Wilson, who received a slap on the wrist yesterday for yelling "You Lie!" to the President during his speech last week.  Both Marshall and Bishop voted to discipline Wilson, a charge that was led by black House members, who are also calling Wilson a racist, including two from Georgia.

 

Only 12% of voters, including only 22% of Democrats, believe that opposition to ObamaCare is racist.

 

Maxine Waters wants the media to investigate the racial views of "teabaggers."

 

Sen. Max Baucus (D-MT) unveiled his health care plan this morning (it's not ObamaCare), and nobody seems to be happy about it.  Even liberal Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D-WV) said that he won't support it because it doesn't include a government option, and he called it a "big, big tax" on the middle class because union members in his home state would be penalized for the exorbitant health care plans that they have had negotiated for them.

 

Opposition to ObamaCare is at an all-time high, and 45% of doctors say that they would consider quitting their practice if it passes.

 

Video is now out for a fourth successful ACORN sting, this one in San Bernardino, California.  That's why Republicans are introducing the "Defund ACORN Act."  ACORN is responding by pointing out that they are "community organizers, just like the president used to be."

 

It turns out that we were right to be concerned about the President's speech to the children last week, because after the uproar the speechwriters had to scrub the speech for "potentially problematic wording."

 

The General Accounting Office says that privatizing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac could "mitigate" the risks caused by government intervention in the marketplace.  In other words, privatizing Fannie and Freddie will prevent another housing meltdown from happening.

 

President Obama could have really scared the "greedy" fat-cats on Wall Street by saying that there was no such thing as "too big to fail" and that there would be no more bailouts.

The government is going to have to hire 273,000 workers by Obama's re-election.  It's all about building a permanent majority coalition.

 

President Obama may be generous with your money, but he is far from generous with his own, even when his own family in Kenya is asking.

Debate Recap Today

I apologize for not being on the air or posting here yesterday.  I will explain today.

 

Obama's stories about health insurance abuse were both lies, as was his suggestion that a health insurance mandate is similar to state mandates on auto insurance.

 

Tales from socialized medicine:  In 2007-2008, 16.5% of deaths came after "terminal sedation."

 

Support for the Democrats' takeover of health care is now back down to pre-speech levels, and 54% of Americans say that the more they learn about it the less they like it.  Maybe that's why Obama is going to appear on five Sunday talk shows to push for his takeover of health care.

 

ACORN is swirling around the bowl, as they have now been caught in three cities giving advice to a pimp and a prostitute on how to run a brothel, including with underage criminal alien girls, and cheat on their taxes to do it, the Census Bureau has cut all ties with the organization and the Senate passed an amendment to prevent ACORN from receiving taxpayer dollars.  The Republicans want to investigate them further.

 

President Obama started a trade war with China by imposing a tariff on tires.  He also went after Canadian charter planes.  Both are payback for labor unions.

 

This shouldn't be a surprise:  George W. Bush didn't know or care about the conservative movement.

 

President Obama's chief economic advisor warned that unemployment could stay high for years to come.  This would be what is called "failure."

 

The only political label that is popular among voters is "like Reagan."

 

President Obama is going to talk to North Korea and Iran.  I'm sure they'll stop hating us now.

 

Among the peaceful, serene, loving, caring religion of Islam, support for suicide bombers and Osama bin Laden is still high.  Bin Laden called Obama "powerless" in a new tape.

 

The most important person you've never heard of died over the weekend.  Norman Borlaug was 95.

Houston County has indicted two people for giving false addresses to send their children to Houston County schools.

 

Warner Robins and Eastman saw double-digit increases in crime in 2008.

 

Of course we'll have plenty of discussion of last night's political forum.

 

9/11 Eight Years Later

Today is, of course, the 8^th anniversary of the Islamic terrorist attacks on America.  You won't hear that word "Islamic" or "Muslim" much today, but it is a necessary part of remembering the events that happened 8 years ago today.  Walid Phares says that we forget that it was Jihadists that attacked us on 9/11 potentially at our own peril.  Nearly half of Americans say that their fellow citizens have forgotten the impact of the 9/11 attacks.

 

What idiot decided to have a Coast Guard training mission on the Potomac River today, of all days?

 

Democrat support for the war in Afghanistan is dropping.

 

The Obama administration is giving few details on how to pay for their health care reform efforts, instead planning on allowing Congress to take the lead on any tax increases.  What few details they are giving are nearly impossible, like paying for half of it by eliminating waste in Medicare and Medicaid.

 

Republicans have come up with 35 different health care proposals this year.  With the Democrats thinking comprehensively, why aren't the Republicans?

 

The United States spends more money on health care because we have it to spend.

 

Is the US Government Bankrupt?

 

A government school principal proves that money is not what creates for quality education.

 

A Senate Committee has decided to stop buying F-22s, but is going to allow other countries to buy them.  On what planet does this make sense?

 

After being caught helping a pimp and a prostitute in Baltimore, ACORN fired two employees.  I wonder what they'll do now that they've been caught doing the same thing in Washington, DC?

 

With the federal government unwilling to secure the border with Mexico, Texas Gov. Rick Perry is sending the Texas Rangers (not the baseball team) to the border.  A school district in Texas is turning away students from Mexico, which makes the problems in Houston County look like child's play.

 

If you're in the South and you oppose Obama it's because you're a racist.

Now You Can Call It ObamaCare

Here is the full text of Obama's speech from last night.

 

Obama gave a speech last night that showed his Chicago thug, Godfather President, political assassin ways, and the headlines have been stolen by the selective outrage over the fact that Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) called Obama on just one of his many lies last night.  Back in 2005 the Democrats heckled then-President Bush for his proposals to reform Social Security in a market-oriented way.  The thing is, Wilson was right.  The bills currently being presented do not require verification of citizenship (or at least don't fund the mechanism to verify citizenship), but Obama might just make criminal aliens legal before the bill takes effect in 2013.

 

Last night's speech didn't do anything to help the Democrats' efforts to nationalize health care, despite the CNN poll that showed a double-digit increase in the approval for ObamaCare.  The poll included 45% Democrats and 18% Republicans, which make it statistically meaningless.  Even Olympia Snowe is still saying that the government option should be dropped.

 

ObamaCare might force health care professionals into unions.

 

The White House claims that a million jobs have been created or saved thanks to the "stimulus" package.  Research shows that the $100 billion in education "stimulus" is actually hurting the economy, just like most of the money that's been spent on education since the 1970s.

 

We've been fighting a multi-trillion-dollar war on poverty for over forty years now, and still a little over one of every eight Americans live in poverty.  When will we pull out of that quagmire?

We still don't know what President Obama is going to say to the joint session of Congress tonight, but he will at least endorse the government insurance option as he admits that his media strategy has not been successful so far because he hasn't taken advantage of his cult of personality, based on the fact that disapproval of his health care plans right now are at 52%.
