White House: Obama and Healthcare Reform Still Popular

Back to article

Unlike most uniformed I do not claim to know everything I need to know about healthcare reform. And I am not partisan or a superfan. I am a independent because if I was a democrat or republican I could not be loyal to parties that needs to push there agenda over the needs of America. I do not follow fashions or go with the crowd, I am a true independent not just because thats my parties name. I do not care if my vote ends up in space, Whats is important to me is I vote what I believe in. I make it hard for those who would try and manipulate me with manipulated polls and lies and distractions because I do my own research and debate with my friends. I realize news nowadays is an extension and payed for by big business. Back when the Internet first got going. Big business was charging high prices and bankrupting families and small Internet service providers(I.S.P) started popping up all over the place charging reasonable rates. Making big business drop there prices, It was good to afford the Internet.
But then disaster again . The small isp started selling us out to big business.
Big does not work when it comes to business, I would rather have big government than big business any day. At least in big government those of us who try and stay informed can write or call our politicians and vote intelligently without having to vote party because we was not informed well enough to vote intelligently. An informed intelligent independently thinking society can serve the needs of all better than two partisan competing groups who will divide America with there Borg like mentality. If you would like to be a Borg, Then just go with the flow like a heard of sheep.
But that is just not in my nature, I am a independently thinking man.

Message to all liberal elites and MSM media:
You all have done wild and evil things things to a simple and great woman. You did everything to her in smearing her down and became successful in winning the white house. The winner takes it all and still you never stop from vicious attacks against Palin. JUST REMEMBER THIS: God is just watching the world and his creation. Always remember this and it is proven: WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND...in the next 3 1/2 years, you will experience that this phrase is indeed true. GREAT FALL FROM THE TOP IS THE MOST HUMILIATING DEFEAT A MAN WILL EVER EXPERIENCE.I would rather embrace a woman being ridiculed in the past and will rise up successfully in the future.

The lack of a hearing aid by the adminstration and democrats headless honcho's Poves only one thing.
Our democracy is in its death throes.
Not in the last 30 years has peoples spoken so loudly. And.
Have the American People ever been given such a cold shoulder?
The thing is that if they we heard you and went back to the drawing board and marked of the things that was un acceptable to both the democrats and the republicans.
Then we(American People) would have gained: 1. Portability 2. Guarantee against refusal of coverage 3. Lower prices. 4 broader health coverage.
But no both sides refuse to listen, the repubs took advantage of the situation, the dems....well they are being dunces.
The days is coming that there will be a birthing of a real and sustainable third party.

Where does it say in the bill about paying for illegals? Where does it say we can't keep the plan we already have? There isn't even a bill yet so how can you say these things. Show me where it is.

I keep hearing that Republicans dont have a plan etc. they do they just dont seem to be getting any democratic support. The country didnt get much on this subject during the election except Obama saying he wanted everyone to be have the same healthcare as CONGRESS and McCain saying give each family 5000 bucks to make there own choices. This is only the beginning for Obama he wants more control of our lives remember liberals think the avg citizen is a less educated easily controled ant. There is going to be a huge snap back in 2010 hell even Bill Clinton is trying to keep Hillary clean for 2012

America's elderly are finally realizing that Obama's health care changes are largely financed by cuts in Medicare and are rallying against his proposals in increasing numbers.
The latest poll by Scott Rasmussen not only shows national opposition to Obamacare rising -- now it is 41-56 against -- but also shows the elderly moving against it even more strongly by 33-59 or almost 2:1.
And well they should! Three-quarters of Obamacare is to be financed by slashing $500 billion from Medicare over the next ten years. That comes to an eight percent cut. Next year's total Medicare spending, for example, will be about $500 billion by itself, so this is like having one year without Medicare at all! Obama's fatuous claim that the cut will not affect care for the elderly is specious as any thinking person would realize. We have gone through previous incarnations of those who wanted to slash Medicare and pretended that it would not affect the elderly. Newt Gingrich tried to sell this act of alchemy in 1995 and the elderly didn't buy it then and aren't buying it now!

Radical democrats want to pay for illegal aliens to get healthcare and are proposing amendments to do so. Obama said they wouldn't be covered. But Joe Wilson was correct in yelling out in Obama's speech, "You lie."
Nearly 12 million seniors will see their benefits go down and their costs increase as a result of the proposed savage goring of the Medicare Advantage programs. Some seniors in certain areas of the country do not have any other choices currently.
Obama lied when he said that everyone could keep their current insurance plan if they were happy with it. HE LIED. Again.
