Obama Flashback: Dems Should Not Pass Healthcare With 50-Plus-1 Strategy (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, March 3, 2010, 5:55 AM
It wasn’t that long ago that Barack Obama told reporters that democrats should not pass health care with a 50-plus-1 majority.
Via BreitbartTV:
But, of course, like everything else Obama promised, this statement came with an expiration date. Today Obama will announce that democrats will force their unpopular nationalized health care bill through Congress using a simple majority to ram it through.
This brings us to Obama’s other broken promise, that he was going to keep his focus on job creation this year.
More… From the Senate Republicans:
THEN-SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL): “Under The Rules, The Reconciliation Process Does Not Permit That Debate. Reconciliation Is Therefore The Wrong Place For Policy Changes … In Short, The Reconciliation Process Appears To Have Lost Its Proper Meaning. A Vehicle Designed For Deficit Reduction And Fiscal Responsibility Has Been Hijacked…” “The TANF program affects millions of American children and families and deserves a full and fair debate. Under the rules, the reconciliation process does not permit that debate. Reconciliation is therefore the wrong place for policy changes and the wrong place for the proposed changes to the TANF program. In short, the reconciliation process appears to have lost its proper meaning. A vehicle designed for deficit reduction and fiscal responsibility has been hijacked to facilitate reckless deficits and unsustainable debt.” (Sen. Obama, Congressional Record, S .14150, 12/20/05)

No surprise. B.O. doesn’t have a very good relationship with the truth. I honestly think that is the one thing that scares me the most. How can anyone trust him including foreign leaders? If something like 9/11 happens again, how can anyone in this world trust what he says? They can’t.
Bob commented:
You can’t trust a radical communist. Everyone needs to start calling your congressmen and Senators.
Militant Conservative commented:
Too late for that Bob, most of them will not be there in a few months. If they are Democrats thier not going to listen to you. Our only choice is to use OUR nuclear option. “YOUR FIRED”
I tire of the Liar in the WH.

Totally obvious…whatever barry “says” is the complete opposite of what he “does”…

A reminder that Nancy Pelousy said ONE very accurate and truthful thing!
When discussing the transparency of the health care hearings; and the fact that O’Bummer promised EIGHT times that the hearings would be televised for all to see, she snapped back with “He promised a lot of things during the campaign”.
A pretty clear indication that O’Bummer – like most all politicians – lies. We see and hear proof of it every day.
Robert commented:
“Too late for that Bob, most of them will not be there in a few months.”
With all due respect, I disagree with the premise of that statement. We see it here time and again, where someone says. ‘If they pass this we’ll throw em out, and get the Republicans to overturn it.’
Well maybe. But each of those will be a battle in and of themselves, and those outcomes are not predetermined. In particular, overturning this will be not just a battle, but a long and hard one.
Better to stop this here and now. So yes, call your Senators and Congressmen. And write, and meet with them if possible. We must keep the pressure on, and even more so.

Everything that comes out of this blowhard’s teleprompter is a lie. One wonders what whoppers he told to those 6th-graders.
It’s beginning to look like asskiss media are about the only ones who don’t get it. Oh yeah, and the dopey college professors.
Corporal Vere commented:
That was then. This is now . . .
Lie hard!
Robert commented:
From the video,
“…with my fellow progressives…”
Just sayin’.

“It’s beginning to look like asskiss media are about the only ones who don’t get it.”
Wrong. They do get it. They know and are lying on purpose.
Damn I’m tired of repeating that, but as long as commenters continue saying that the MSM and Dems are “stupid”, “clueless”, and “don’t get it”, I’m going to keep repeating that.
They do get it. They know and are lying on purpose.
Repeat until you realize that they are intenionally lying, planning, conniving, deceptive serpents.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
Those “dopey” college professors just took your country, Jim, right from under our noses, and are having their way with her. And we call them “stupid”?

Obama would be much more comfortable trying to tell Kenyans he is smart, and they should bow to him. Remember the video of him standing behind Odinga in front of a bunch of shouting Kenyans dancing with their machetes.
sandy commented:
Obama thinks the American People are idiots. Well we are smart enough to know when we’ve been had.
If he destroys the Dem Party so be it — Congress is secondary to him doncha know. He’s the Unitary Man. And if the American People have had enough in 2012 he will also run as a Third Party Candidate Barry Soetoro. That’ll fool em.
