Talk about cherry picking facts and video quotes! The President said that you get to keep your doctor and insurance if you want to keep them. The President also said that no one earning under $250K is going to get a tax raise.....

The Administration is worried that you are being "misinformed" by scary stories and email alerts. You might even be thinking about protesting...oh, my.

The White House wants you to forward any emails: "If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov." Sooooo, the White House wants the email address of the sender of this information.....What are they going to do with it?
The White House wants you to report on any casual conversations!

Heck, can't the White House just get on the WST, 9-12 Project, or Tea Party mailing lists? Is Linda too lazy to read Free Republic or Gateway Pundit? She makes it sound so conspiratorial.

So, since they are asking for emails about fishy healthcare information, let's send it to them. Every single one of us. With a PDF of the ObamaCare bill.

Facts ARE stubborn things. And they are coming right out of YOUR history, Obama!

Facts Are Stubborn Things

Posted by Macon Phillips

Opponents of health insurance reform may find the truth a little inconvenient, but as our second president famously said, "facts are stubborn things."

Scary chain emails and videos are starting to percolate on the internet, breathlessly claiming, for example, to "uncover" the truth about the President’s health insurance reform positions.

In this video, Linda Douglass, the communications director for the White House’s Health Reform Office, addresses one example that makes it look like the President intends to "eliminate" private coverage, when the reality couldn’t be further from the truth.

For the record, the President has consistently said that if you like your insurance plan, your doctor, or both, you will be able to keep them. He has even proposed eight consumer protections relating specifically to the health insurance industry.

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov.

Casual conversation?! O. M. G. I reallllly, reeaaallly, want millions of people to swamp the White House on that!


If you look closely at the video, you can actually see where the Obaminions pour the koolaid into Linda Douglass's head.....

Spending OUR money so that HAMAS doesn't have to spend THEIRS helping Gaza...

During Financial Crisis, Obama Sends $1B to Gaza

US News | Mon, Feb 23, 2009 at 5:16:29 pm PST

While the United States is in the midst of a serious financial crisis, the Obama administration is handing over another $1 billion to the Hamas-riddled United Nations Relief and Works Agency. It will be used for humanitarian purposes, of course, so that the Hamas “government” can spend all their money on bombs, weapons, and ammunition, instead of building a decent society for their children.

Yep, typical. It's not like we're BROKE and having to borrow money by the TRILLIONS. Or print it faster than the toilet paper that it's going resemble....

Having destroyed our Domestic policy,

Obama's administration is dead set on destroying our Foreign policy.

Rapidly Collapsing US Foreign Policy

Iran is close to developing nuclear weapons.
Russia is supporting Iran with military and technical assistance.
The US is now asking Russia to "help" control Iran's nuclear proliferation.

Russia is demanding that we drop our missile defense projects in Eastern Europe.
Russia has put on hold, for now, sale of high tech anti-air/anti-cruise missile defense systems for Iran, pending "developments." Russia states that Israel should do the same with sales to the country of Georgia. Of course, Russia has no interest in Georgia....

Hezbollah has launched new rocket attacks against Israel. Hmm, Iran sponsors Hezbollah. And Syria supports them too. Didn't Obama just "make nice" with Syria?

Russian influence is closing Kyrgyzstan as a supply base for Afghanistan. Russia is offering to "help" us with logistics. Wonder how that plays out next time we support Ukraine, Georgia, or any other previously occupied ex-Soviet country?

Obama states that he will bomb Pakistan during the campaign. Within one week, a Democrat sabotages a secret deal with Pakistan. Then, Obama supports a Taliban/Pakistan Sharia territory deal. Is he TRYING to make it harder to fight in Afghanistan?

Obama praises the "election" of Chavez, the new Castro. Chavez, at last notice, was a self proclaimed enemy of freedom and capitalism. And Chavez was last seen supporting terrorism and drug trafficking in Columbia. Democrats don't want to support the President of Columbia. You know, the one FIGHTING the drug war....

Secretary of State Clinton just promised to work closely with another enemy of freedom, China; "Don't worry about any fuss over dissidents with this administration." Buying our debt so that we can blow it all on political favors is SO MUCH more important.

And this is only in the FIRST month. It's been just ONE month since the coronation.....um, inauguration.

And we thought that Jimmy Carter was bad.

We are so screwed.

He has GOT to be kidding.....

Obama to shift focus to budget deficit.......

Full story at Wall St. Journal:

"He has scheduled a "fiscal-responsibility summit" on Feb. 23 and will unveil a budget blueprint three days later, crafted to put pressure on politicians to address the country's surging long-term debt crisis."

"It's important for us to think in the midterm and long term. And over that midterm and long term, we're going to have to have fiscal discipline. We are not going to be able to perpetually finance the levels of debt that the federal government is currently carrying."

Hmmm, they propose either spending cuts or higher taxes "once the economy turns around", of course. And since that is supposed to happen ON ITS OWN, per the CBO, here is their excuse to raise taxes. Because, all of this spending is necessary.

Just ask them.

What a load of crap.

Where's my bourbon and duct tape.....

AAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!

If this doesn't make you do the same thing, what the hell is wrong with you?


And just think, this is a separate spending bill. Obama still hasn't submitted his actual budget. THIS IS IN ADDITION TO WHATEVER OBAMA WILL ASK FOR IN OCTOBER!!!!

Some interesting thing in this "stimulus" bill. I guess that since the Democrats had trouble passing such things in real stand alone bills, they have to hide these thing in this monstrosity.

And then there's the socialized medicine and welfare that thy can't get passed any other way....

Via Gateway Pundit:

...thanks to the simple phrase slipped into the legislation, the new "stimulus" bill abolishes the limits on the amount of federal money for the so-called Emergency Fund, which ships welfare cash to states.

"Out of any money in the Treasury of the United States not otherwise appropriated, there are appropriated such sums as are necessary for payment to the Emergency Fund," Democrats wrote in Section 2101 on Page 354 of the $819 billion bill. In other words, the only limit on welfare payments would be the Treasury itself.

And :

The Democrats are also sneaking in the nationalization of healthcare in the package, via Power Line:

Kimberly Strassel takes a look and finds Democrats enacting "Obama's agenda of government-run health care -- entirely on the QT." Strassel finds that the bill dramatically expands the number of Americans who qualify for Medicaid:

Under "stimulus," Medicaid is now on offer not to just poor Americans, but Americans who have lost their jobs. And not just Americans who have lost their jobs, but their spouses and their children. And not Americans who recently lost their jobs, but those who lost jobs, say, early last year. And not just Americans who already lost their jobs, but those who will lose their jobs up to 2011. The federal government is graciously footing the whole bill. The legislation also forbids states to apply income tests in most cases.

And just think. This is going to pass unless 100% of the Republicans show some backbone and get some of the "bipartisanship" that the new majority keeps talking about.....we got 11 Democrats in the House. Are there 11 Democratic Senators willing to take a principled stand for the future of America? Warner? Webb?
Or are you going to bend over for Reid.........?

Classy, President Obama

Well, not that the honeymoon ever started....

President Obama shows alot of class in his Whitehouse.gov site. Even though President Bush is gone, the Obamabots HAD to get one last snarky slam in....

President Obama will keep the broken promises made by President Bush to rebuild New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. He and Vice President Biden will take steps to ensure that the federal government will never again allow such catastrophic failures in emergency planning and response to occur. (Katrina happened years ago. What's taking Congress so long? And how will Obama ensure that his fellow Democrats like the incompetent former Gov. Blanco don't drop the ball. New Orleans was a DEMOCRAT failure. FEMA actually arrived on scene within 2 days. FEMA coordinates with LOCAL FIRST RESPONDERS, like, oh,....the NOPD. You know, the NOPD that lost a major portion of the force to desertion. I think that the response time would have been better if Blanco had released the National Guard earlier, instead of worrying about any credit Bush would receive.)President Obama swiftly responded to Hurricane Katrina. (????? Perhaps they mean Senator.) Citing the Bush Administration's "unconscionable ineptitude"(See Previous comment)in responding to Hurricane Katrina, then-Senator Obama introduced legislation requiring disaster planners to take into account the specific needs of low-income hurricane victims. ( What makes low-income victims special? Katrina killed rich people too. More pandering.) Obama visited thousands of Hurricane survivors in the Houston Convention Center and later took three more trips to the region. He worked with members of the Congressional Black Caucus to introduce legislation to address the immediate income, employment, business, and housing needs of Gulf Coast communities.

Classy. Typical progressives.

Now HERE is a volunteer force....

Update 12:31 am: Via one of Instapundit's readers:

Looks like the change.gov site is true to it's title - it changes!

During the time when I was looking at the blog you linked to concerned mandatory community service the change.gov page saying "require community service" changed to goal for community service. The new wording is:

"..... Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by setting a goal that all middle school and high school students do 50 hours of community service a year and by developing a plan so that all college students who conduct 100 hours of community service receive a universal and fully refundable tax credit ensuring that the first $4,000 of their college education is completely free."

I found the the cached page on Google it has the original "required" wording.

Looks like they caught their "mistake". Now will the real plan please step forward -- goal or required. (Although the way government sets goals, they often wind up looking like requirements so maybe the two aren't all that different.)


Found in the comments at the soon to be retired Kim du Toit (read him now or forever lose it...) by djmoore of Ricketyclick

The subject is Obama's requirement of Mandatory volunteerism:
Obama will call on citizens of all ages to serve America, by developing a plan to require 50 hours of community service in middle school and high school and 100 hours of community service in college every year. Obama will encourage retiring Americans to serve by improving programs available for individuals over age 55


Here is the comment:
...encourage Congress, pursuant to Article 1, Section 8, to establish, equip, and train a real militia, offering high school students and willing adults firearms training as well as general emergency response stuff such as search and rescue, fire suppression, and first aid. There would also be however-many hours of community service. This program would be as ubiquitous, and about as rigorous, as driver’s ed.

Graduates get a militia card, entitling them to a single subsidized purchase of a semi-auto version of the current military issue weapon, subsidized purchase of appropriate practice ammo, further unlimited purchase of non-auto firearms without registration or interference; and free carry, open or concealed.

Card to be renewed annually following refresher training musters.

Accommodation as necessary to ensure that the elderly, handicapped, and curmudgeonly can arm themselves without militia membership.

Membership of course gets you a slot in the emergency call up phone tree.

Properly handled, this would be so popular the nation’s needs could be met voluntarily.

Fair’s fair, right? Spirit of compromise, and all that?

This would be OUTSTANDING! Wonder if we could implement something like that at the state level?

The Left is SO Blind

Reading the Times-Dispatch on Thursday, I found an article, quite well written, on the coming Obama appointments. Quotes abounded, coming from a variety of sources. However, two struck me as particularly illustrative of today's electorate.

Coming from a 24 year old man (sad, in itself) was this whine, "He's going to give the youth hope and a voice, something to look forward to. A future to look forward to."
WTF! Apparently this man sees that America's youth had no hope for a future. They need a President to lead them to this. This sad man is a perfect example of todays voters.

And then, there's this:

Simon Rosenberg (founder of the New Democrat Network) had this gem: Mr. Obama "doesn't really come from any faction or ideological wing of politics," he will not be beholden to any one group when he makes his initial choices.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Oh, he's serious.
This is why they think conservatives are extremists; that Bush, a liberal Republican, is a right-winger. To people like this, marxist and progressive views are mainstream and normal.
They actually think that taking the possession of one and giving it to another, by force, in the name of fairness, is a good thing.

To them, its not ideological. Its normal. They are blind.

And the GOP had better learn this.

Its already started....

From Barry's website that describes how his administration is going to save everybody....
(btw, when did "change" become a .gov agency?)

Address Gun Violence in Cities: As president, Barack Obama would repeal the Tiahrt Amendment, which restricts the ability of local law enforcement to access important gun trace information, and give police officers across the nation the tools they need to solve gun crimes and fight the illegal arms trade. Obama and Biden also favor commonsense measures that respect the Second Amendment rights of gun owners, while keeping guns away from children and from criminals who shouldn't have them. They support closing the gun show loophole and making guns in this country childproof. They also support making the expired federal Assault Weapons Ban permanent, as such weapons belong on foreign battlefields and not on our streets.

This has so many wrong things in it....

1) Obama is going to repeal the Constitution, because he has no power to repeal ANYTHING.

2) The Tiahrt Amendment DOES NOT restrict law enforcement access. It restricts EVERYONE ELSE'S access. Gun control groups want the access to make nuisance lawsuits easier.

3) Commonsense measures....According to whom? How does one restrict a right in a commonsense manner? Will he then think of commonsense ways to restrict the other rights? Then again, liberals already like to restrict the 1st Amendment rights in politically correct ways. Fairness Doctrine anyone? Why are there additional restrictions needed? We already have laws against easy access by children and felon possession.

4) No such thing as the Gun Show Loophole....nor Childproof guns.

5) Finally, please show me where assault weapons are on the street? Please. One example. The AWB DID NOTHING to prevent one crime. It had nonsense definitions. Of course, there are already laws in place preventing commonplace possession of assault weapons. A semi-automatic rifle IS NOT an assault weapon.

Oh, and to you hunters that feel safe, your deer rifle is a "sniper" rifle. How do you feel being restricted to single shot shotguns?

And remember, in all of these cases, this will be only the FIRST step. There will always be "commonsense" improvements needed so that you can feel "safe".

If you want to see what the US is going to become under a liberal regime, take a good look at England right now. EVERY SINGLE ISSUE that the Dems want have already been emplaced within English society.


MOLON LABE

By the way...

Just because Barack Hussein Obama won the election and is now the President-Elect....

DOES NOT mean that he isn't still a terrorist loving, corrupt, socialist, progressive scumbag that wants to ruin the basic premises of the USA.

Just because millions voted for him DOES NOT mean that they were right.

He is still a follower of Saul Alinsky, Rev. Wright and other marxists. The leopard does not change its spots. They use them for camouflage....


I notice that the MSM is NOW noticing that he's a "deeply manipulative, slightly creepy" kind of guy. And that they think that the public "Barack Obama" is a public face and is a creature that he has designed. Those are their quotes.

Its too late now. YOU picked him and got him elected, MSM. Enjoy.

The Liberals are going to OWN us.

Any government with the power to give you everything you want, is the government to take everything that you have.

The government is now a co-owner of your bank, house, and insurance company.
Soon, they'll own your doctor and hospital.

That'll be great!!! Freddie Mac, Fannie Mae, FEMA, and the VA are such GREAT organizations. So efficient.
Of course, there will have to be some changes.......

The Politics of Power. Are you a Citizen or a Subject?

The federal government has bought an interest in the FM twins, which means they hold a piece of the note on your house. The federal government has bought an interest in banks, which means they own a piece of your savings. The federal government has bought an interest in insurance firms, meaning they own a piece of your insurance.

The Democrat majority in Congress did this, aided by a sitting Republican President.

Our next President plans to nationalize health care, which means that the federal government will own a piece of your doctor, your hospital, and your insurance provider.

In just a few short years, the federal government will have a controlling interest in nearly every facet of your life. And you, you lazy sheep, will be grateful for it, because at last, your government will be taking care of you, and the only people who will pay the cost will be those damnable rich people who have too much money and are too greedy.

Life will be wonderful.

Until the federal government starts to use the power you gave them to control your life.

If a man owns your house, your bank account, your job, and your health care, he owns you. Period. Just ask a coal miner from West Virginia about the company store.

"You load 16 tons, and what do you get?
Another day older and deeper in debt.
St. Peter don't call me cause I can't go.
I owe my soul to the company store."

from Shots Across the Bow.

And, of course, they want the Courts. Heaven forbid that you have a recourse to fight back using your Constitutional rights.....

The Left has been stalling for the last two years on Judgeships for just this occasion.

Obama's Redistribution Constitution

The balance will shift as well on almost all of the 12 other federal appeals courts. Nine of the 13 will probably swing to the left if Mr. Obama is elected (not counting the Ninth Circuit, which the left solidly controls today). Circuit majorities are likely at stake in this presidential election for the First, Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and Eleventh Circuit Courts of Appeal. That includes the federal appeals courts for New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and virtually every other major center of finance in the country.

On the Supreme Court, six of the current nine justices will be 70 years old or older on January 20, 2009. There is a widespread expectation that the next president could make four appointments in just his first term, with maybe two more in a second term. Here too we are poised for heavy change.

These numbers ought to raise serious concern because of Mr. Obama's extreme left-wing views about the role of judges. He believes -- and he is quite open about this -- that judges ought to decide cases in light of the empathy they ought to feel for the little guy in any lawsuit.

Learn it, Love it!.....Or else......

I, for one, welcome our new socialist overlords.
I expect my bills to be paid on January 21, 2009. I want my bail out too.
Since I'm unemployed, maybe I can get a job in the new "civilian security force." Its always better to be part of the security apparatus. Just ask the Cubans, former Soviets, East Germans, Communist Chinese....

Apparently, the voters think that THIS is Obama's theme song:



Won't they be surprised!



h/t Red Stick Rant
Go visit. Very good stuff.

BOHICA

In case anyone missed it...your fellow Americans have just voted THIS for you. Per the exit polls, the economy was everyone's main concern...so, of course, they voted in the same people that arranged the crash....

From The Other Side of Kim:


Just so we all know, here’s a partial list of the changes we’re likely to get more of:

• High Taxes
• Gun Control
• State ownership of capital
• Constitutional reconstructionism through the courts
• Nanny government and oppressive regulation
• A weak, impotent military
• Inept foreign policy
• Trial lawyers and liberal judges
• Socialism
• Internationalist subservience to the United Nations
• Socialized medical care
• Stronger labor unions
• Racism (hiring- and college enrolment quotas)
• Class warfare
• Voter fraud
• Lax immigration controls
• Wealth redistributionism
• Hostility towards business, and capitalism in general
• Over-aggressive environmentalism
• Support for failed social programs
• Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton, Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle, Pat Leahy, Maxine Waters, Jim McDermott, John Kerry, Charles Schumer, Dianne Feinstein, and Dick Durbin running Congress.

So we’re going to get the changes we asked for, and we’re going to get them good and hard.
