Obama as Faith Messenger

Asinus Gravis of TX

I am not buying your statement about being a doctor. Your statements are full of holes and show an incomplete understanding of the issues.

"Raised taxes on cigarettes, intends on raising taxes on other "junk foods", and will impose a tax on those who do not buy health insurance. All of which would hit families making less than 250,000."

I would thing a doctor would know how much insurance cost results from smoking and overeating. It is a cost that is spread to everyone.

"Current house bill that he is trying to push through despite having not read would all but eliminate most private insurance policies. Also, you might be able to keep your current doctor but your doctor will not be calling the shots with regards to your care."

The above statements are false.

Politifact.com has done a great review of the 1,000 page House Bill H.R. 3200.

" If you are in need of a root canal medicaid will pay to have the tooth removed."

I am not familiar with Medicaid benefits, but I know how much a root canel cost because my health insurance does NOT pay for it.

"He fired the CEO of GM"

Good for Obama because the CEO made around $10 to $20 million a year while GM was losing BILLIONS per year. The CEO walked away with a $20 million retirement.

The Obama administration obtained good concessions from GM debt holders that stood to make huge profits during a normal bankruptcy, while employees would have been the ones to lose the most.

"His wonderful stimulus bill is passed and we are on our way to 10% unemployment."

No one knew how bad the economy was when Obama said 8 percent. Read the news from today about unemployment and other recent economic news.

Asinus Gravis is only repeating false Republican talking points.

Speaking about earmarks - how about the Republican earmarks in the Recovery Act, which were supposed to get their vote - several Republicans have bragged in their home state about the earmarks.
