Obama Targets Wall Street, Those Who Block Health Care Reform

Dole and Frist have already asked that they quit “running the ad” because the administration was stretching the truth. These guys just don’t take no for an answer. Obama said one thing that is true tonight. He said, “I am cheap.” I would have chosen sleazy or slimy, but cheap will do I guess.

Dole may not have liked ‘the ad’ (and the Democrat were decent enough to pull the ad), but he is still supporting health insurance reform.
“It’s a different time,” Dole said, “and the whole issue has become much more important. It’s going to be drag on the economy if we don’t figure out some long term way to fix it.”
So the President’s comments are accurate, not sleazy.
“You’ve got a whole bunch of Republicans who are saying ‘yeah, we should do this,’ except those are all retired Republicans — Bob Dole and Bill Frist — and last time I checked they are not socialist. And they think it’s important to get this done. That’s a model for what everyone needs to be thinking.”
It would actually be your interpretation that is ‘sleazy’.

“Not to mention, the war in Afghanistan which Obama said was a must win war until his holy grail of Health Care Reform made him blind to what is really important to the financial and physical security of the Nation.”

Nonsense, now the insurance companies are trying to use the war in Afghanistan as an argument against health insurance reform – talk about sleazy.

julieterra, Nonsense, Under the leadership of President Obama and the Democrats the deficit has increased to a whopping 9 TRILLION DOLLARS. In contrast, the private insurance companies are operating at a profit, albeit only a scant 3.7%. So who do you think has the better track record when administering health care? Answer: Not government that is for sure.
The truth is, government is inefficient, full of fraud and waste and never never keeps any of their promises. For example, the proposals on the table for Health Care Reform will cut MEDICARE BY 500 BILLION DOLLARS. No wonder there is a lot of talk about “Death Panels”. Health Care Reform should not be paid for at the expense of Seniors who need health care the most.
In addition, promises made to the Native Americans by treaty are also being broken by the government. JUST LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH GOVERNMENT RUN SINGLE PAYER HEALTH CARE ON THE INDIAN RESERVATIONS WHICH IS A FAILURE. Go to two articles in the Huffington Post by Tim Giago: (1) Indian Health Care: A National Tragedy and (2) How will Universal Health Care Affect Native Americans. The articles show in very human terms how Government run health care on the Indian Reservations is an absolute failure. To quote from the above article. “If you think the government can solve all of our problems just ask an Indian”.

In order to pay for Health Care Reform, the Medicare budget will be cut by billions of dollars which will result in drastic cuts to health care for Seniors. Given that model, you can count on the same thing happening to government run health care as costs go up, which they will. That translates into rationing of health care with some government bureaucrat deciding who will get what health care if any based on their political “worth” to the elite in Washington DC.
Moreover, do the Democrats have a death wish for the economy? The deficit is already sky high, unemployment is at near 10% and rising thus the higher taxes proposed in all the bills will tank the economy even more. And for what? So 80% of the people who like their private insurance will ultimately lose their plans as the much more inefficient and corrupt government takes over health care?
Than everyone may be “covered” but when the time comes to get the care they need they will be be cut off from getting any care as government bureaucrats will be calling the shots on who gets what health care if any based on one’s political “worth” to the power elite in DC.

===========================
You gotta love the utter hypocrisy of Obama. He goes to Wall Street to criticize the bonuses they pay their executives, but he does it at a DNC fundraiser where it cost $34,000 per seat and most of the seats were purchased by Wall Street executives.
===========================
Socialism is deciding what to do with other people’s money but being unaccountable for yours.

I think you mean dual fundraisers. I would definitely attend a “duel” fundraiser for $34K.

Obama needs some help.
But he really needs somebody to watch his back, the worst place he can look is right over his shoulders, as in people of his own administration, a continuation of bush policys..remember this one?

n addition, promises made to the Native Americans by treaty are also being broken by the government.

Mary, I just read the very same thing in a post by james on another thread. Interesting. Borrowing from the same talking point email? In any event, I’ll briefly say the same thing I said to him so others won’t be misled. The way you lead into this it sounds like you’re trying to insinuate that all of a sudden promises are being broken when in fact HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius has said “she will launch a new multiyear effort to improve health care for American Indians, which she calls a ‘historic failure.’” In addition, since writing the blogs you mention, Tom Giago has also written one called “health care through the eyes of an independent”. Google that one, and note that he says the Indian Health Service and the single-payer systems of England and Canada may have some problems, but for the most part, they are working– and that he thinks health care reform is needed in a dire way.

Considering Obama’s Acorn, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd & the rest of the crooks (hi Rangel) caused the financial mess to begin with in the banks, he is telling another whopper.
34,000 for dinner with this guy?
If they manage to jam socialized medicine down the nations throat, maybe the attendees should have thier heads examined for free.
Enough of this preening rooster and his lies already.

Go to Georges bottom line and read the blog Wyden v. reid on public option and health care choice 90% of people will not be able to change their insurance they will have to keep what they have so what will this so called reform do? And how can it cost trillians of dollars if it doesnt do anything?

Get ready for more of this from the Obama brigades:
“We prefer to use the power of persuasion, but if that doesn’t work we use the persuasion of power.”
Andy Stern, President SEIU

if this idiot actually understood the problem or how the markets actually work he would shut up.

15 October 2002
“President Bush says his plan to help more Hispanic and African-Americans own their own homes will also help the U.S. economy.
“The president wants Congress to put $200 million into what he calls the “American Dream Downpayment Fund” to help 40,000 qualifying families a year make a down payment or pay closing costs.
“President Bush says he wants to close that gap with a package of financial incentives to increase the number of minority homeowners by at least 5.5 million families by the end of the decade.”
Some truth behind the origins of the housing market crash.

Hey Julie….
The Operative Word in the is QUALIFYING…NOT Giving to the UNQUALIFIED as Bumbling Barney Frank and fraud Chris Dodd did !!!

“I think the best thing Obama could do in the markets now is to vigorously enforce anti-trust laws and insure that no firm or business in America is ever so big that it can’t fail.” – Yes hopesprings.

“The Operative Word in the is QUALIFYING…”

Nonsense, his program included paying the down payment for people, or exempting from having to have the money required for a down payment. You call that ‘qualified’?
