Their plan is sick and giving people that read out it heartburn.
Obama is ignorant about medicine. Obama is ignorant about democracy.
His post office is a disaster and his hospitals will be the same.

Re: Obama giving up on Obama Care?

Not a deal breaker? It certainly seemed to be one as recently as last month. On July 20, The Washington Post's Web site included Ezra Klein's report, "Obama Says Health-Care Reform 'Must' Include Public Option." Cited is Obama's radio address of that week, in which the president declared:


(A)ny plan I sign must include an insurance exchange: a one-stop shopping marketplace where you can compare the benefits, cost and track records of a variety of plans - including a public option to increase competition and keep insurance companies honest - and choose what's best for your family.
Someone ask what the federal plan contains to keep the Federal plan honest.

Not out of the woods, yet!

Morning Bell: Public Option Is Not Dead Yet

But that does not mean that Americans fighting against government-run health care are out of the woods yet. Conrad insists that the Senate could pass health reform that includes health insurance co-operatives. Co-operatives do have a long and proud tradition in many sectors of the U.S. economy, but details matter. Conrad says these health co-ops will not be “government-run and government-controlled” but instead “membership-run and membership controlled.” But others in Conrad’s caucus have a starkly different co-op goal. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is pushing a vision of co-ops that are: 1) run by the government, preferably the federal government; 2) funded or subsidized by the government; or 3) includes plans chosen by the government.

Re: Obama giving up on Obama Care?

Now the lying democrasts say this about Sebelious. They say Resident Obama is still for the public option and the media "misplayed" sebelious.

Is that a video malfunction?

Quote:
A third White House official, via e-mail, said that Sebelius didn't misspeak. "The media misplayed it," the third official said.
Lies to cover lies.

Re: Obama giving up on Obama Care?

The Times "news story" singled out the Washington Times for its role in spreading the story with this whopper:


"The specter of government-sponsored, forced euthanasia was raised as early as Nov. 23, just weeks after the election and long before any legislation had been drafted, by an outlet decidedly opposed to Mr. Obama, The Washington Times."

Nothing new here.

Internet Snitch Brigade disabled, but…
By Michelle Malkin • August 17, 2009 02:05 PM So, it looks like the Internet Snitch Brigade has closed up shop — and you can no longer flag yourself at flag@whitehouse.gov.

But the health care czar’s office (background here) and Obama Chicago crony Valerie Jarrett’s staff (background here) are hard at work pumping out O-care propaganda — and still collecting e-mail addresses — at the government-funded website “Reality Check.”

The White House spammers haven’t been thrown under the bus. They’re just taking a potty break.
The snitchboard is closed. They did snag e-mail addresses and axelrod spammed people.

Cool Re: Obama giving up on Obama Care?

At least public opinion has turned against it .

We can only hope they'll see the error of their ways.

Anyone involved in a re-election bid in the next year had better listen to their constituents.
