Unpopular President Welcomes Government Takeover of Health Care Industry (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, December 24, 2009, 10:20 AM
Unpopular President Obama celebrated the historic passage of his nationalized health care bill. He bashed private industry during his announcement welcoming the passage of the disastrous bill. He also misrepresented the supposed savings from this government takeover of the private sector.
President Barack Obama says Congress is now “incredibly close to making health insurance reform a reality in this country.” He says lawmakers must now finish that job, and make 2010 the year health care reform arrives. (Dec. 24)
House Republican Leader John Boehner released this statement following the democrat’s power grab this morning:
“Not even Ebenezer Scrooge himself could devise a scheme as cruel and greedy as Democrats’ government takeover of health care.
“Senator Reid’s health care bill increases premiums for families and small businesses, raises taxes during a recession, cuts seniors’ Medicare benefits, adds to our skyrocketing debt, and puts bureaucrats in charge of decisions that should be made by patients and doctors. The bill also authorizes taxpayer-funded abortions, violating long-standing federal policy. It’s no coincidence that the more the American people learn about this monstrosity, the more they oppose it.
“This legislation is so toxic that Senator Reid needed to pull off a series of outrageous payoffs, kickbacks and sweetheart deals just to get the votes of members of his own party. The way in which Senate Democrats turned their backs on American families and put their votes on the auction block is a disgrace to our country.
“President Obama, Speaker Pelosi, and Senator Reid will now hammer out a final bill in secret, despite campaign promises and pledges of the most ‘open and honest’ Congress in history. The American people don’t want the future of their health care being decided behind closed doors by three liberal Washington Democrats. That’s why they need to fight harder than ever, speaking loudly and with one voice, saying ‘stop.’
Most voters (54%) also believe they personally will be worse off if the health care plan passes. Just 25% think they will be better off.

Idiots. They are going to lose big time in 2010 and 2012.
Rivka commented:
America isn’t Europe. We are a different breed and will not take this lying down.
Militant Conservative commented:
Rivka,You presume we still have free elections. The corruption is deep and THEY have access to the treasury to use for thier war chest. This is an act of High crimes and Misdemeanors. I want him impeached like Clinton was but also REMOVED in DISGRACE.
I WILL NOT GO QUITELY INTO THE NIGHT.
Mahdi Al-Dajjal commented:
Obama lies! Again…
The only thing that happens next year is that taxation of the citizenry begins. Medical coverage of any kind doesn’t start until 2012.
Militant Conservative commented:
Mahdi Al-Dajjal, duh, common knowlege to those of us on the front lines. Spread the news to the unenlightened. (Those that watch the MSM).
Not being mean, this is a fight for the American way of life. A fight to the death. We win, capitolism survives, we lose socialism gets embeded in America.
too much commented:
I agree with you Militant Conservative about the “free elections”. I believe that this is why none of the Demorats are afraid of being “voted” out. They have mail in ballots in my state which is how the current Demorat governer got in, even though it was shown that most of her votes were from dead people and ACORN signing up felons and illegals. Same way the Obummer was elected. ~Power to the People~
n.a. palm commented:
Merry Crack-mas White House
Militant Conservative commented:
Too Much,I have been preparing since the Clinton Administration. A decade of preperation, I came to the place I am now due to watching the political climate deteriorate year after year. Washington needs to fear the American people again. If they do not listen to reason. The American people WILL remove them as the constitution recommends. The tree of Liberty is watered……

CDR M commented:
They keep saying Health Insurance Reform. What was reformed?
ahem commented:
Re-cast that last sentence:
“Most voters (54%) realize they will be screwed if the health care plan passes. Amazingly, 25% have been bamboozled into believing they will be better off.”
Sabba Hillel commented:
Do you mean that 25% of the people are employed by the white house, Congress, ACORN, and the SEIU or that 25% of the people are in prison or insane asylums?
No Man commented:
It means 25% of the people are self-loathing morons that cannot support themselves and believe it is the guvmint’s duty to provide for them.
It means 25% are wrathful, slothful, ignorant, gluttonous, lustful, indolent, envious, cretinous hateful useless pond scum, i.e., liberals, plus 535 satanic idiots called congressmen.
Live free or die.
Mike commented:
It’s a flagrant move to buy the dhimocrat vote from all the illegals and other unsavory characters that are on welfare and have never worked or contributed to society in their entire lives.

Alinskyite Chris Matthews Cites His ’60s Hero on Hardball
[Well, to reach back to one of our heroes from the past, from the 60s, Saul Alinsky, once said that even though both sides have flaws in their arguments, and you can always find something nuanced from your own side you don’t like, and it’s never perfect, you have to act in the end like there’s simple black and white clarity between your side and the other sideor you don’t get anything done. I always try to remind myself of Saul Alinsky when I get confused …
[..]
“Wherever possible,” Alinsky counseled, “go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.”1 Marching mobs of chanting demonstrators accomplishes this objective. The average observer’s reaction to such a display is of a dual nature: First he is afraid. But he also recalls the organizer’s initial articulation of middle-class ideals and morals. Thus he convinces himself that the People’s Organization is surely composed of reasonable people who actually hold values similar to his own, and who seek resolutions that will be beneficial to both sides. This thought process causes him to proffer — in hopes of appeasing the angry mobs — concessions and admissions of guilt, which the organizer in turn exploits to gain still greater moral leverage and to extort further concessions.]
i agree the issues are black & white..
a global IslaMarxist (by any other name) dictate is
wrong; independence & individual freedom is right..

Gray Rider, actually it was Jesus who entered Jerusalem riding an ass, not 0bama. 0bama has enough of a messianic complex. Let’s not add to the mythology!

@Militant- I cannot fathom how most don’t see this coming. It is so blatantly obvious!

From the Gospel of Obama:
“For unto us a child was born ( location unknown), unto us a communist was ordained: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Bumbles, The Narcissist, Lord of Fools, King of Corruption, The mighty Liar in Chief, The Everlasting Fool, The Prince of Prostration before Tyrants.”

Worse Than Scrooge: Gladney’s Brother and Public Advocate Fired by St. Louis County Hours Before Christmas
Considering the fact that government work seems to be the only growth industry in this economy Keith probably thought he was in a stable job, serving diligently for the Animal Control agency, a division of the St. Louis Dept. of Health. And, considering he was just given a positive job performance rating as recently as October, it must have come as a heartbreaking shock to learn of this Dickensian turn of events just he was preparing for his Christmas.
So, what changed between September and today? What could have been the reason for Mr. Gladney’s termination?
Could it be that Mr. Gladney was outspoken in his support for his brother?
That he called on the County Prosecuting Attorney to bring justice to his family for the assault that had been captured on video and detailed in a 23-page police report?
Is it a coincidence that the same Prosecuting Attorney that Keith called out in his statement is also one of the highest ranking officials in the government structure that Keith worked for?
Is it surprising to learn that the Department of Health (the department that oversees the operations of Keith’s agency) works very closely with SEIU Local 1 on County Health related issues and policies?

lol, Republicans and their hatred of this fine nation amuse me. You people hate the poor to the extent you’d wish the President dead for it and then claim your patriots? It’s you don’t understand the word, fools. God Bless you Obama, for looking out for the Minorities, the women and the poor, three things Republicans hate.

something is not only seriously WRONG, but there’s something else at work or there’d be no way Obama could ever get away with his blatant disdain for both America & our Troops, not to mention his & LIE after LIE after LIE!!
we’re waiting way too long to rise up.. imho, they are literally going to push until “we the people” are FORCED to push back.. i’m telling you, they’ve prepared to counter the revolution they fully expect.. Martial Law will be declared, Obama will suspend elections & the take over will be complete..
