Excerpts of the President’s Opening Remarks at Tonight’s News Conference

He continues to call opposing thoughts and different ideas politics, while he smiles and lies to the American public. The bills working their way through the Senate and especially the House will GUARANTEE that most Americans end up on the public dole, just as the Democrats want. More lemmings that are beholden to them for votes. Open your eyes America and write to your representatives. Have them work hard for health care reform but vote no on these monstrosities currently working their way through Congress. Vote NO on Obamacare. Don’t be held hostage by FEAR and INTIMIDATION of the Obama Administration and DNC bigwigs in Congressional leadership. It’s important we get this right. It’s critical. This is no time to RAM a 1000 page bill through Congress.

The sooner that Americans buck up and realize that he wants capitalism destroyed, is when we will be able to fight back. He talks about being FORCED to pay the healthcare we have now? And that small businesses are being FORCED to lay off employees? Why? Because Obama is destroying small business and is destroying capitalism. There is no private insurer in this bill. You make one change, boom, you’re in a government plan whether you like it or not, or you will be FINED. Fined for not being in a government funded health care.
And there are NO DEBATES when it comes to this. The Supreme Leader Obama makes that perfectly clear. I can only ask…I’m 35 years old…and I remember when I was young, and not understanding politics at the times, yet I knew the USSR was bad. Now I know politics, and we are becoming the USSR. Stop waiting and denying, or hoping for something to change, when the only REAL CHANGE, is YOU and I and every other American stand up against this. Your phone calls matter. Your emails matter. And if they ultimately do not, then we will move to the next level. And let your Congressmen and women know DAMN WELL THAT WE MEAN BUSINESS! THIS IS OUR COUNTRY!

Sounds like he is hitting on the clear and obvious point:
America is projected to spend over $10 trillion more on health care than any other first world nation over the next 10 years (adjusted for population). We cannot afford this, and the only consistent difference between the US and every other first world nation is we spend over twice as much per capita and we don’t have a government health care option keeping private insurance honest.
As for the absurd argument that this is being rammed through Congress, at the start of March Obama was already holding a bit health care summit. This is over 4 months later. Wanting to get it done in the next month, when there are multiple bills already completed to draw on, is hardly a rush folks.

clint:”The sooner that Americans buck up and realize that he wants capitalism destroyed, is when we will be able to fight back.”
Do you have any facts or documented reality to support your argument? Any of it?
“There is no private insurer in this bill.”
That is an utter lie. There are indeed systems with no private insurer in the world, but none of them are on the table.
“You make one change, boom, you’re in a government plan whether you like it or not, or you will be FINED.”
This is also a lie. You will always have the choice to buy into a private insurance plan, just like now. And just like people in countries with real nationalized healthcare also have that option (for example, you can get private insurance in the UK to cover things like tennis elbow replacement or to skip the 2 month wait for back surgery).
Your post is classic fear mongering, to the point that I wonder if you are actually a bored liberal pretending to be the strawman right winger with no knowledge at all of the documented issue at hand.

======================================
= SO WHAT IS OBAMA GOING TO SAY TONIGHT
= ABOUT HIS GREAT HEALTHCARE “REFORM”
======================================
* Obama is the only one with a real plan to “reform” healthcare and everyone else is standing in the way of “true reform” (yet Obama doesn’t even know what’s in the legislation)
* He’ll make great promises about the proposed healthcare reform (when he’ll actually contract the horrible damage already written into the legislation)
* He’ll say it’s budget neutral (when it’s already been determined the federal budget can’t sustain this massive entitlement system)
* There suddenly is an urgency to “reform” healthcare (when the only urgency his is reputation)
* That nothing has been done for decades (when many changes and improvements have occurred)
* The “American People” want Obama’s reform (when most Americans oppose the proposals that have been surfacing in the press)
* That evil “Washington” politics is trying to derail his wonderful plan (when Obama himself is “Washington” politics)
[And I'm sure Khrushchev, Castro, Chavez and others of that ilk considered themselves great "reformers" and why the Communist Party USA is one of Obama's biggest fans]
=====================================
= AND WHAT OBAMA WON’T TELL YOU
=====================================
* The the average American is uninsured for 3-4 months
* The the total uninsured includes about 10million aliens
* The the proposed solution will bully individuals, companies and insurance carriers into moving citizens into the government program
* That no one in the federal government would give up their healthcare coverage for the proposed government system
* That in countries with government run systems, like Canada, private free-market healtcare options are emerging because the delays and denials of service from centralize systems are inhumane.

N Waff:”The the average American is uninsured for 3-4 months”
This is direct contradiction of all the published reports I’ve seen – such an extraordinary claim needs a citation.
“The the total uninsured includes about 10million aliens”
That number includes LEGAL immigrants. Your referring to them dismissively as aliens is why the Republicans are widely considered to be lying when they insist they only dislike law breaking illegal aliens (it’s pretty clear that all immigrants, including legals ones, are not wanted in the Republican tent).
“That in countries with government run systems, like Canada, private free-market healtcare options are emerging”
Free market supplemental insurance has been available for decades for people who want to pay a premium to get premium service. Your suggest that they are emerging, or even growing, is a lie.
Based on documented reality, I don’t see how your rant has any credibility beyond vacuous fodder for the right’s daily Two Minute Hate.

And I suppose our president thinks we all just fell off the turnip truck last night. Everything I heard is pure nonsense. What world does he live in.

We spend $6000 more on health care because Europe has a loser pays legal system that inhibits lawsuits and they are not as fat as the U.S. The U.S. has become a bunch of fat sissies that run to the emergency room for every cut and knick. We need to stop eating so much and realize that certain pains and injuries do not need treating by a doctor.

Huzzah for Chuck Todd, for pointing out that the Democrats don’t like OblablaCare, EITHER.

Sheesh: “they think it’ll make Obama more vulnerable”. He’s taken to referring to Himself in the third person — we’re in Mad King Ludwig land.

Oblabla doesn’t seem to get it that most “tests” measure things that CHANGE from day to day, and change with the progression of diseases.
Not to MENTION the crappy undependability of most medical LABS, a subject El Know-it-all hasn’t yet bored everybody to death about.

He’s talking so much, he’s not giving anybody a chance to ask a question, and when they finally get to ask one, it’s insipid, and doesn’t address anything important.
Like – why can’t you agree to the most basic way to cut unnecessary tests, which is with tort reform/lawsuit caps?
Under the proposed plan, why won’t a person be allowed to get another private plan after dropping one private plan? Why do they HAVE to then take the public plan?
Don’t you think it’s a bit creepy to quiz seniors every 5 years about their future life plans? Don’t you think this sounds like you want them to hurry up and die and quit burdening the system?
And why do you keep talking incessantly and blaming Republicans? In my experience, blaming others is a sign that you don’t know what you’re doing yourself!

Grapes:”We spend $6000 more on health care because Europe has a loser pays legal system that inhibits lawsuits and they are not as fat as the U.”
The most recent CBO analysis (among others) indicates that lawsuits (payouts, malpractice insurance, etc) are a negligible driver of increasing costs. This is a common fallacy that Obama is also guilty of pushing.
The US is somewhat fatter than Europe, and Europe smokes somewhat more. Can you cite any study that suggests these two trends do not tend to cancel each other out when corrected for?

Obama says we all have give up some things with this healthcare. He talks about the healthcare overseas as if he truly understands it. Does everyone realize what they may have to give up??I have family in Europe that have had to pay doctors on the side for better care or for them to give a family member earlier appointments, have had chemo taken away because they were too old, had meds changed or again stopped and finally just left without anymore treatment to die with leukemia. He doesn’t discuss any of that. He doesn’t talk about the selection of who gets what treatment, if your child has CP and another completely healthy, and both need the same surgery, but there is only one that can have it, who do you think is going to get selected. Is he and all of the politicians going to stay on their great government healthcare or join all of us on this “great planned socialist care” if this thing goes through? Of course not! In the meantime, the wife and kids roam around the world jetsetting to “gather experience” while they wear designer clothes at a time that most people can’t afford to buy a new pair of shoes for all the kids. This picture is all wrong.

Great question female reporter!!!
And … it sounds like she’s a Chicago Tribune reporter, besides.

So others are noticing he cannot look the reporters straight in the eye. Interesting isn’t it? First thing I spotted.

Jessica:”I have family in Europe that have had to pay doctors on the side for better care or for them to give a family member earlier appointments, have had chemo taken away because they were too old, had meds changed or again stopped and finally just left without anymore treatment to die with leukemia.”
Are they in an ex-communist country like Romania? I have four aunts and a handful of cousins who have lived all their lives in the UK, and two grandparents who died at ripe old ages there (including one who fought cancer off and on due to smoking) – they have never had a problem. My mom and dad actually returned to the UK to have my older sister specifically because of the health care (he was naturalized and employed by the time I came along so I was born here).
But both of our anecdotal evidence is just heresay. The actual studies and surveys of people in other first world countries shows an overwhelming preference for their system versus ours, even when they are quick to list the problems in their own system.

He deliberately “misunderstood” the question about stonewalling on releasing records about His meetings with “health” executives — on which He relented only today, when the lawsuit was filed — to refer to stonewalling on the TARP info.

Obama only took 11 questions and most of them were big fat softballs.
A complete waste of time.
It’s just like all of his hundreds of speeches –he rambles on and on and basically says nothing new.
Did he put the press to sleep–they acted like they were on sedatives.

jhw539-Family is in Austria, Germany, Hungary and Romania, same stories everywhere. Think the UK is much different.
What scares me is that depending on the area, who the doctors are along with who the pharmacists are, all reflect on how your treatment is handled.
Precription drugs, antibiotics and the like are also limited in some of the outlying areas, where they can wait for 2 to 3 weeks to get it.
Again, “if you have the money to pay, they will help you much quicker” is something I have heard over and over.

Jessica
I did notice how he looked down when answering questions. His answers don’t come easy–it takes him forever to get to the point.

uhm . … the abysmal economy left at the end of the Bush administration is not an ‘excuse’ it’s a sad and very real fact for many Americans – and in fact for many people of many countries.
Calling it an ‘excuse’ is stupid.
And Danita – The sad fact is that obama made it worse by adding more to the deficit – much of the that money was PORK, period – and NONE of it has worked so far, as the unemployment rates keep rising. That’s your sad fact for the day. When will you and obama take responsibility for obama’s actions? What about his lies tonight? He can’t answer any questions. You must have been so impressed him him. He’s a liar and you constantly defend him. Don’t you have more important things to do?

The President did not address the fact that this plan is going to create more UNEMPLOYMENT in this country because businesses and rich people forced to pay for this plan (and the addtional taxes) will pass the cost onto us the consumer in the form of inflation, layoffs etc. Also what is to stop U.S. Healthcare and these other insurance & private healthcare companies from simply folding and taking the money they have taken from us already and closing up shop (thus denying existing healthcare). The consequences like longer waits for healthcare and procedures which would be needed right away were also not mentioned i.e. they arent going to turn anyone away but so what if they have to wait 6 months to have their appendix removed. Its all just a plan to soak the taxpayer for more money. Money this administration wasted on TARP, money they are going to lose in April 2010 in tax revenues from 10% unemployed people who cant pay their income tax etc.

Danita: We know that Dubya and the Republicans screwed up our country. But Obama said whe he ran that he would fix it.
The stimulus is not working and he has let crazy Arnold destroy CA. Why should my tax dollars pay for the Wall St bailout, but not my own state of CA?!
If he’s willing to let the biggest state in the country suffer 25 billion in cuts, including deep cuts health care, then why should I trust him on ANY issue? He wouldn’t even have won without our votes and our resources.

===and they cannot afford to wait for reform any longer. ===
If Obama gets his healthcare passed, when will it go into effect?

The President said he wants to have health care coverage for all AMERICANS-sounds great. He didn’t mention who is to pay for healthcare for the 12 to 20 MILLION illegal immigrants who live here. How do they figure into the budget?

“President Bush announced an Administration effort to increase home ownership rates among African Americans and Hispanics by 5.5 million by 2010.
“The plan would provide down payment assistance to 40,000 minority homebuyers each year.
“Bush’s plan would be closely tied to some $440 million in minority loan programs offered by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. President Bush commended Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s efforts.”
(July 1 2002)

Danita wrote: “Bush and the Republicans had control of Congress basically through the first 6 years of Bush’s administration. Any changes they wanted to make in financial regulations were available to them from 2002 through 2006. That they failed to do so is there own problem.”
When President Bush took office on Jan 20, 2001, the Senate was evenly split 50/50, with VP Cheney casting the deciding vote which gave the Republicans control of the Senate. That lasted only four months, as Sen. Jim Jeffords of Vermont switched from the Republican party to being an Independent on May 24, 2001, but voting with the Democrats. That gave the Democrats control of the Senate until January 2003.
From January 2003 through December 2004 the Republicans held a 51-48-1 (voting Democrat) majority.
From January 2005 through December 2006 the Republicans held a 55-44-1 (voting Democrat) majority.
The Republicans voted the reform bill out of committee. However, the Democrats threatened a filibuster if the bill came to the floor for a vote. So in a procedural move, the Republican’s left the bill in committee. It is incorrect to say that any changes they wanted to make were available when the Democrats had the votes to sustain a filibuster throughout Bush’s two terms.
Now then the fact that the Republicans failed to get reform through the senate turned out to be the entire nation’s problem.

James – it is as I described it. After the elections in 2002, the Republicans had a majority in both Congress and the Senate.
That they failed to regulate financial cannot be faulted to the Democrats.
The history is not so clear as you present it. Yes, they failed to bring Senate reform bill before the Senate HOWEVER Republicans also did not support reform at the time.
And it’s worth noting that . …
“The House also introduced similar legislation, the Federal Housing Finance Reform Act of 2005 (H.R. 1461), in the Spring of 2005. The House Financial Services Committee had crafted changes and produced a Committee Report by July 2005 to the legislation.
“It was passed by the House in October in spite of President Bush’s statement of policy opposed to the House version.
“The legislation met with opposition from both Democrats and Republicans and that point and the Senate never took up the House passed version for consideration after that.”
And along the same lines. . .
“The president spent years pushing a recalcitrant Congress to toughen regulation of the companies, but was unwilling to compromise when his former Treasury secretary wanted to cut a deal. And the regulator Bush chose to oversee them – an old school buddy – pronounced the companies sound even as they headed toward insolvency.”
And later on . . ..
“As early as 2006, top advisers to Bush dismissed warnings from people inside and outside the White House that housing prices were inflated and that a foreclosure crisis was looming. And when the economy deteriorated, Bush and his team misdiagnosed the reasons and scope of the downturn. As recently as February, for example, Bush was still calling it a “rough patch.”
“The result was a series of piecemeal policy prescriptions that lagged behind the escalating crisis.”
It appears Bush was concerned enough to want to reform Fanny & Freddie, but was simply unable to accomplish it even with a majority in Congress and the Senate – and then totally misread the severity of the looming crisis.

“The House bill, the 2005 Federal Housing Finance Reform Act, would have created a stronger regulator with new powers to increase capital at Fannie and Freddie, to limit their portfolios and to deal with the possibility of receivership.
“Mr Oxley reached out to Barney Frank, then the ranking Democrat on the committee and now its chairman, to secure support on the other side of the aisle. But after winning bipartisan support in the House, where the bill passed by 331 to 90 votes, the legislation lacked a champion in the Senate and faced hostility from the Bush administration.
“Adamant that the only solution to the problems posed by Fannie and Freddie was their privatisation, the White House attacked the bill.
“Mr Greenspan also weighed in, saying that the House legislation was worse than no bill at all.”
________________________________
Again, more a political failure in the Bush and Republican administration than ‘the Democrats’ fault’.

Danita, so based on your logic–that in spite of the Republicans holding only a 51-50 voting majority for 4 months in the Senate; followed by a Democratic 51-49 voting majority for 20 months in the Senate; followed by the Republicans holding only a 51-49 voting majority for 2 years in the Senate; then having a 55-45 voting majority for two years in the Senate; that the Republican’s should have been able to pass any legislation that they wanted during the first 6 years of Bush’s 2 terms in office–why in the world are you so worried–or even care–about anything that we Conservatives think, say or do at this moment in time? The Democrats have a 78-seat majority in the House and a 60-40 voting majority in the Senate. Clearly the Democrats have the votes to do anything they want (except passing a Constitutional amendment). Why are the Democrats worried–or even care–about what the Republicans think, say or do?

danita,
Just so you DO finally get it straight – Did you hear Obama say yet once again – The great “Stimulator” is a TWO (2) year program!
on all that talking points rhetoric about how Bush & the Republicans had control of Congress. I hope at some point you stop blogging long enough to at least use wikipedia to get some tiny grasp of HOW this country’s government works.
By the way, ALL the methods available to the Dems to get in the way of the bush Adiminstration… Those ARE NOT IN PLAY for Obama right now.
So get this through your head – If he fails to get what he wants, its his fault for not keeping his “troops” in line.
He can get anything his little heart desires without a single Republican vote in EITHER the House or the Senate!
All the danitas, Ryans, jhws..etc out here sprewing talikng points does NOT change that fact!
Ask yourself WHY…WHY would any Democrat not just fall in line with Obama’s “vision” of the future. It has absolutely nothing to do with what the Republican’s did or did not do during Bush’s time, OR anything they want or dont want to do today!
This is like a person playing handball by themselves and then blaming the guy outside the glass when he whiffs!

danita,
For your consumption….
“Of more concern to the Obama administration, perhaps, is the finding that clear majorities of 66% and 60% of independents, respectively, say Obama’s proposals involve too much spending and too much government expansion.”

but nobody else can be blamed for them not seeing it coming, or doing anything to prevent it.

From the same article you are quoting (my caps for emphasis):
“THERE ARE PLENTY OF CULPRITS, like lenders who peddled easy credit, consumers who took on mortgages they could not afford and Wall Street chieftains who loaded up on mortgage-backed securities without regard to the risk.
“But the story of HOW WE GOT HERE IS PARTLY one of Mr. Bush’s own making, according to a review of his tenure that included interviews with dozens of current and former administration officials.”

And to put a nail in the coffin of one of the few remaining doofus supporting the national nightmare, B. Hussein Obama. Here is how the great uniter, “messiah” voted in obstructing Healthcare proposals during the brief time he spent in the Senate before quitting…
NO on Allowing Americans to Deduct Their Health Care Costs. S. Con. Res. 70 (110th Congress, 2nd Session, Roll Call 82). The Senate rejected an effort to allow for an above-the-line federal income tax deduction for individuals who do not receive health insurance through their employers.
NO on Allowing Americans the Freedom to Purchase Health Insurance Across State Lines. H.R. 976 (110th Congress, 1st Session, Roll Call 305). The Senate rejected an effort to allow Americans to purchase individual health insurance across state lines.
NO on Allowing Americans to Use Their OWN HSA Funds to Cover Health Insurance Premiums. H.R. 2 (110th Congress, 1st Session, Roll Call 26). The Senate rejected an effort to allow Americans to use their tax-free Health Savings Account funds to purchase health insurance.
NO on Preventing the Erosion of Private Health Coverage. S.Amdt. 2537 to S.Amdt. 2530 to H.R. 976 (110th Congress, Session 1, Roll Call 299)The Senate rejected an effort to minimize the erosion of private health coverage.
NO on Expanding Access to Small Business Health Plans. On Motion to Invoke Cloture on the Committee Amendment (110th Congress, Session 2, Roll Call 119). The Senate rejected an effort to allow for the expansion of health care access and reduced costs through the creation of small business health plans and through modernization of the health insurance marketplace on May 11, 2006 by a vote of 55-32.
NO on Preserving Employer-Sponsored Coverage. S.Amdt. 2596 to S.Amdt. 2530 to H.R. 976 (110th Congress, Session 1, Roll Call 301)The Senate rejected an effort that would require individuals who are eligible for SCHIP and employer-sponsored coverage to use the employer-sponsored coverage instead of SCHIP.
NO on Requiring Health Insurance for Illegal Immigrants. S. 1348 (110th Congress, 1st Session, Roll Call 188). The Senate rejected an effort to require illegal immigrants seeking “Z Visas” to maintain a minimum level of health coverage.
All of these were laws proposed after 2006 when the Democrats took over control of Congress. Obama repeatedly voted NO on every healthcare reform issue sent before him.
Obama is a Liar and a Hypocrite. The national nightmare.

Danita, if the Democrats had heeded the warnings and had recognized the problem, instead of denying that a problem existed, the Republicans could have easily forged a bi-partisan agreement. But instead the Democrats threatened to filibuster any reform legislation that would have come to the floor. Incidentally, the Republicans did actually vote the reform bill out of committee but chose to leave it in committee since the Democrats were going to filibuster it. By doing that, had the Republicans remained in power they could have brought the bill back without starting from scratch. But when the Democrats took control of the Senate it then died in committee as the Democrats refused to recognize that a serious problem existed.

James Danley . ..
No, the Republican majority in the committee, were unwilling to make the bi-partisan compromises (see below) needed to bring the Democrats on board.
BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATIC members of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee agreed about the need for a stronger, more powerful regulator for the government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs) Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Again, it was a political failure on the part of the Republicans.
And let’s not forget that a similar bill won bi-partisan support and passed in the House – but was attacked by both Bush and Greenspan. Again, stubbornness and unwillingness to compromise ruled the day.
Lot’s of blame to go around.

The Washington Post’s article dated Sept 12, 2008 entitled “Where Was Sen. Dodd? Playing the Blame Game on Fannie and Freddie,” by Al Hubbard and Noam Neusner, is an excellent piece. Here are just a few excerpts:
“And Sen. Christopher Dodd, the Democratic chairman of the Senate Banking Committee, has the gall to ask in a Bloomberg Television interview: ‘I have a lot of questions about where was the administration over the last eight years.’
“We will save the senator some trouble. Here is what we saw firsthand at the White House from late 2002 through 2007: Starting in 2002, White House and Treasury Department economic policy staffers, with support from then-Chief of Staff Andy Card, began to press for meaningful reforms of Fannie, Freddie and other government-sponsored enterprises (GSEs).”
“The administration did not accept half-measures. In 2005, Republican Mike Oxley, then chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, brought up a reform bill (H.R. 1461), and Fannie and Freddie’s lobbyists set out to weaken it. The bill was rendered so toothless that Card called Oxley the night before markup and promised to oppose it. Oxley pulled the bill instead.”
“As recently as last summer, when housing prices had clearly peaked and the mortgage market had started to seize up, Dodd called on Bush to “immediately reconsider his ill-advised” reform proposals. Frank, now chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said that the president’s suggestion for a strong, independent regulator of Fannie and Freddie was ‘inane.’”
Please read the entire article.

Regarding last post (see below). Much more to come.

“Any changes they wanted to make in financial regulations were available to them from 2002 through 2006.
That they failed to do so is there own problem.”
Danita
Danita, you can have your own opinion but ya can’t have your own fact.
“Republicans had control of Congress basically”
Control in the sense of do whatever you want requires a “SUPPER majority” in the Senate and a strong 51% plus in the House.
Bush NEVER had a supper majority in the Senate, 4 out of 8 years the Senate majority was Dem. INCLUDING 2002!
Danita, this is a fact there is NO WAY around it.
In the 4 years Repubs had the majority in the Senate it was a marginal plurality only a couple of points.
As to the topic of today, Health care.
Obama HAS a supper majority in the Senate 60 votes plus 2 independents that vote with the Dems.
The Repubs can stop ANYTHING the Dems want to ram through, NOTHING, Nada, Zippo.
In the House Dems have 257 (53.04%) to the Repubs 178 (44.16%)
Danita 240 is a STRONG plurality in the House, the dems have 17 more votes than that. The Repubs can’t stop anything.
Get a clue Danita, learn some basic math, learn some basic government functions like who does what.

“Electric water heaters are not a good idea for saving energy. They are much less efficient that gas heaters and that won’t change with this “new” low-energy water heater.”
____________________________________
Low energy electric water heaters save energy compared to the old electric standard.
“The new GE Hybrid Electric Heat Pump Water Heater is designed to use about 2300 kWh per year, which is less than half of the energy of a 50-gallon tank water heater that uses approximately 4800 kWh per year.
“There are about 60 Million U.S. homes with electric tank hot water heaters, if 10 percent installed a GE Hybrid Heat Pump Water Heater, this would save 15 Billion kWh annually of energy.”
Are you really suggesting the Obama administration outlaw electric water heaters?
Regarding . .. the jobs moving “in 2011, 3 years from now”. First of all 2011 is 2 years from now, not 3 as you stated.
Second of all, you cannot expect these changes to take place at the snap of your fingers.
That jobs are moving BACK to the USA from China – is MAJOR. Have you not noticed what’s been happening throughout the past 8 years?
It’s exactly what the President said his plan was meant to do . .. and its happening . . .
More to come!

It’s also worth noting that “GE announced (July 2009) that by 2015 it is developing a turn-key product portfolio that will empower consumers to build – both new home builders and existing homeowners – to efficiently consume, manage and generate electricity to enable an overall net zero annual energy cost.
“In addition to GE’s current portfolio of energy-efficient lighting and appliances products and demand response technology that GE is currently developing, GE plans to develop residential power generation products like solar PV and residential wind products, well positioning GE to make the net zero energy home a reality.”
These are exactly the types of changes President Obama said his policies would encourage – and now they are happening.
This is the direction of the future. President Obama has been absolutely correct in his steering of the course.
