Crazy. Obama Says Health Care Law Already Helps Millions in US
Posted by Jim Hoft on Saturday, May 8, 2010, 9:56 AM
It should be obvious by now that Barack Obama will say anything and the media will let him.
Barack Obama announced today that his trillion dollar nationalized health care plan is already helping millions of Americans and small business owners. Of course, he wasn’t talking about the millions of Americans who will lose their health care because of this bill or the millions affected by higher costs.
The AP reported:
The new health care law already is helping millions of people through tax breaks for small businesses and assistance for families with young adults, President Barack Obama said Saturday.
In his weekly radio and Internet address, Obama promoted his top domestic priority, which passed Congress with no Republican votes and continues to stir strong emotions nationwide. He acknowledged that many provisions will not take effect for years. But he said others are doing some families good now.
Some 4 million small-business owners and organizations have been told of a possible health care tax cut this year, Obama said. On June 15, some older people with high prescription drug costs will receive $250 to help fill a gap in Medicare’s pharmaceutical benefits.
“Already we are seeing a health care system that holds insurance companies more accountable and gives consumers more control,” the president said.

AP is Obama’s print newsfeed outlet like MSNBC is his cable news outlet. It’s important to look at least at AP-Yahoo everyday to see what the daily dog food is for the masses. Unfortunately, many Americans just gobble it up.

I have to admit, this new healthcare law has helped me immensely…
…helped me to understand, even more clearly than before, just how much of a putz we have for a president and congress.
That’s the only benefit I can think of, off hand.

I see the platitude generators and bulls**t sequencers are in fine working order.

I operate a small business. I have been advised of nothing. I don’t know what he is talking about. This is nonsense. He thinks because he says it, it is therefore true.

Obama’s a sociopathic liar.

Like Andrew Breitbart says, liberal media bias must be attacked head-on.

great…let’s go back to hearing more lies about obamacare and pretend that there isn’t a direct threat from islamist extremists aimed at the heart of America. Appease and surrender leftists like B0 and his sycophantic media are dangers to national security. God help us…is anyone in D.C. awake? It’s pretty much unreal what passes as a Presidential administration anymore… such crap..

OT
Just wondering, after a fruitless search:
Still no new information on the vicious attack on Mr. Brown and Ms. Bautsch in New Orleans.
Has nobody come up with the requisite money with which to pay off the NOPD to investigate this assault?
down with dems commented:
And when do YOU get to be held accountable, Barry? You want to hold insurance companies and Wall Street and banks and car companies accountable…… when are you going to take responsibility for your f-ups?
That’s right, you won’t, because everything you’ve done was intentional and things are going exactly according to your grand design.
Wbm commented:
Bamster, your and your ilk who voted for this huge pile of garbage and expected a bounce in the polls, well you got it. Public opposition to it went from 51% to 58% a month later – then now to almost 70%. But remember, we will have the last word soon……..

All we know is that in 2 1/2 years we will know the Presindent O’bigears still wont be qualified to be President! I get pissed when our conservative leaders let this garage go in the media without a challenge.
Someone needs to get on tv on Sunday morning through the following week and call the SOB a big fat F*ck*ng liar and make the jerk off prove it. Then read all the companies who plan to drop healthcare insurance as stated by the companies themselves Not some airheaded dimwitted putz reading a teleprompter
Michelle commented:
On pay day this week, I noticed my check was about $40 a month less (which may not sound like alot, but for me it is). I then saw an email from HR saying it was due to insurance premiums going up. I emailed back and said, “hold the phone, I thought Obama was paying for my insurance now!” It’s also important to note that he’s a totaly liar when he said if you make less than $250,000 a year, your taxes won’t go up a cent. Well I make $35,000 an mine did. Now there’s change you can believe in.
ogee commented:
Crazy Barry reads whatever they write on the teleprompter. He’s a perfect beotch ho being pimped by like minded scoundrels. Watch him sometimes do a double take when he reads off that crap to the public. But no matter. He get’s his 5MM/yr for reading the teleprompter anyway.
Oh wait, isn’t the job pay max supposed to be $250k/yr?
wanumba commented:
When it’s reported that Obama leaned on a farmer’s fence and increased the crop by 300%, then we know we’ve officially arrived at North Korean levels of state-sponsored myth-making.
The Media-Democrat-Propaganda Complex is very very close to crossing that threshold of Pathetic.
Opus #6 commented:
Yeah, I’ll say it’s helping.
Obama’s plan is helping to ruin the greatest health care system in the world.
wanumba commented:
Wondered at Obama’s odd pacing as he speechifies. His pauses relate not to the sentence pauses of commas and periods, but to the pauses between teleprompter display shifts.
Nancy commented:
Michelle, there was a reduction last year by $40 per month (in your case) and so it increased to normal amount this year. Nothing to do with this giant mess BUT your employer’s premiums will increase dramatically when he or she renews the company policy, if he chooses to renew. This is due to covering costly pre-existing conditions. I have heard that it is huge…maybe 50%…so look out.
Beto commented:
So that’s why rates went up dramatically after it passed. Rates will continue to do so until all of us are forced at bayonet point to start paying protection money to the insurance corporations for little to no coverage. Corporations who will most assuredly be under the control of our social dictators by then.
Please don’t be under the delusion that any republican majority will do anything to stop or change this.

Yes, it has helped million of Americans see what a liar and faux president Obama is.
kansas commented:
I also have a small business, have been advised of nothing, but have heard of the 1099 hidden hell package in the so called health care bill.
Dave In Houston commented:
The rates I pay will be going up when our old policy expires. The company just drop health insurance as too expensive.
The stimulus worked, too. Look at all of the jobs saved.
