* Transparency in Government
* No lobbyists in Government
* Legislative bills to be posted to a .gov website before voting for proper review & comment
* He will not take your guns
* He was going to get Bin Laden and invade Pakistan to do it
* Bipartisanship (Hah!)
* He was going to Veto any bills padded with Earmarks or frivolous spending
He has not governed yet because he’s still campaigning. He is unfit for Office on the basis of experience and judgment. If you catching him telling the truth it had to be purely by accident.

do you know what a campaign platform is, kelly? a campaign pledge? they sometimes change from one office to the next. they did here. that’s the business of politics.
i am not saying obama doesn’t lie. but he didn’t lie here.
to show he lied, you need to show that in his presidental campaign he endorsed single payer.
Obie set forth very clearly what his goal was i.e. “single payer” and was very specific that in order to accomplish that the Dims would have to retake the House, the Senate, and the White House.
He cannot openly embrace the idea of single payer now because of the huge public backlash it would produce.
Make no mistake, however, the House plan and the Senate plan lay the groundwork to get single payer in a stealth fashion rather than outright.
Finally, here are some other clips you may find of interest.
Obama in 2007 (Remarkably similar to Obama in 2003). You’ll notice that he admits that employer coverage will not be eliminated “immediately”.
Nothing in Obama’s position has changed. The goal is the same as it always has been.
Roll the tape:
Then we have Senator Barney Frank. (You’ll notice that Frank doesn’t oppose single payer.)
Roll the tape:
Here are some of the people who are behind the scenes pushing this. (Do some reading on Dr. Jacob Hacker and the Tides Foundation). Take note of Hacker’s “Trojan horse” statement.
Roll the tape:
Finally, I’m going to post some videos that haven’t appeared here before.
Here’s Senator John Kerry. (You’ll notice that he doesn’t express an opposition to single payer. He just makes the argument that there aren’t sufficient votes at the moment to get it through.)
Roll the tape:
Senator Mikulski “not opposed to” single payer.
Roll the tape:
Rep. Henry Waxman, not opposed, just not enough votes.
If he lied or giving him the benefit of the doubt he changes his story. Do we chalk that up to a failure of his memory? Or do we say “you do not have to have a perfect memory if you tell the truth”.

Nope.
Obama NEVER advocated single payer during his presidential campaign. He advocated a public health care insurance option for anyone who wanted it. The only major party presidential candidate who advocated single payer health care was Kucinich.
Again, Obama’s position, his plans, his goal have not changed.
Watch the video from 2007 when he was a candidate for president. In that video he plainly stated that employer coverage would be eliminated but not “immediately”.
Those were his words.
If, from the 2007 video, you determine that he planned to implement a public option and that employer coverage would eventually go away then what is left?
That’s right. Single Payer.
Just because Obie isn’t calling it by its’ name doesn’t mean that is not the goal.

Now, I know that politicians typically change their stances on issues. Frankly, I’d be surprised if there was even one that never ever changed a stance on an issue. Still, Obama takes this to an entirely new level. He doesn’t just change his stances. He acts like he never held a different opinion than the one he currently sports. I swear, the guy is like a freakin’ first grader. He blatantly lies, but thinks you’re dumb enough not to notice. Of course, I also think he’s dumb enough to think no one will notice.

Madalyn, Obama has no stake in America because he did not serve in the Armed Forces, was an Affirmative Action product and was raised by Communists/Socialists and was “Entitled” from the day he found his way out of the womb.

Herman isn’t alone, I heard the same defence on the radio yesterday, must be part of their game plan – Barack Obama was for single payer, but President Obama says he isn’t.
Question: when you look at other statements of belief Obama made before running for president, how many of those has he continued to push through to this day?
His “I’m not for single payer” stance right now is the fulfillment of his “10, 15, 20 years” down the road philosophy.
Islam has a concept called Al-Takeyya, which permits, and even encourages, Muslims to lie to protect one’s self or fellow Muslims, or to advance Islamic goals. It’s as if Obama and the Obamedia have adopted this concept in aid of their socialist causes.

This is from the DNC/Obama’s website ‘Organizing for America’ website on January 21, 2008:
Fact Check: Obama Consistent in His Position on Single Payer Health Care
January 21, 2008
Rhetoric: “Today, he opposes single payer health care, and attacks Sen. Clinton for proposing a plan that covers everyone”
Reality: Obama Has Consistently Said That If We Were Starting From Scratch, He Would Support A Single Payer System, But Now We Need To Build On The System We Have
If Obama Were Starting From Scratch, He Would Support A Single Payer System. The New Yorker wrote, “‘If you’re starting from scratch,’ he [Obama] says, ‘then a single-payer system’-a government-managed system like Canada’s, which disconnects health insurance from employment-‘would probably make sense. But we’ve got all these legacy systems in place, and managing the transition, as well as adjusting the culture to a different system, would be difficult to pull off. So we may need a system that’s not so disruptive that people feel like suddenly what they’ve known for most of their lives is thrown by the wayside.'” [New Yorker, 5/7/07]
If Obama Were Starting From Scratch, He Would Support A Single Payer System. “At a roundtable with a handful of invited guests at Lindy’s Diner in Keene, Obama said if he were starting from scratch, he would probably propose a single payer health care system, but because of existing infrastructure, he created a proposal to improve the current system.” [Concord Monitor, 8/14/07]
If Obama Were Starting From Scratch, He Would Support A Single Payer System. Obama said, “Here’s the bottom line. If I were designing a system from scratch I would probably set up a single-payer system…But we’re not designing a system from scratch…And when we had a healthcare forum before I set up my healthcare plan here in Iowa there was a lot of resistance to a single-payer system. So what I believe is we should set up a series of choices….Over time it may be that we end up transitioning to such a system. For now, I just want to make sure every American is covered…I don’t want to wait for that perfect system…The one thing you should ask about the candidates though is who’s gonna have the capacity to actually deliver on the change?…I believe I’ve got a better capacity to break the gridlock and attract both Independents and Republicans to work together.” [http://iowa.barackobama.com/page/community/tag/Ames]
Anyone who thinks that Obamacare is not a trojan horse into a single payer system is living in a State of Denial…maybe that’s the 51st state that Obama referred to when he visited “57” states during his campaign? I know I was wondering what the names of those 7 states were, now I know one of them! Just to refresh our memory:
How many people will be STUPID ENOUGH to vote for this idiot again!?!?!?
And to ask the “elephant in the room question”
How will this impact ANY future black American running for president?
Will people be hesitant to vote for that candidate based on (Zero)bama’s limp-wristed, Dictator hugging, failure at doing what is right for this country?
Obama and the Nazi’s dim-o-craps are trying really hard to force us down that line whether we want it or not.
I wish I had caught the name of the idiot who is going to vote for this PoS bill AGAINST HIS CONSTITUENTS wishes – and his reasoning? “It is what the country needs… even if they do not know better”
How humble and such a shining example of humility.

I sincerely believe the one truth Barack Obama spoke was back in October 2008 when he told ‘Joe the Plumber’ that he (Obama) intends to take the profits of business owners and “spread the wealth around” to those with less. Everything Obama has done, the porkulous package, the cars for clunkers, the ‘free money’ to seniors, the $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids in NY state…………. Its a never ending robbing Peter to pay Paul to level the playing field ……. its fantasy quest and it won’t end till we are either all flat broke and get issued with our government tin cup begging bowls or get ‘Team Obama’ and the Democrat lead Congress and House into minority lame duck status.
.
There is no inconsistency at all. He is in favor of *single-payer* but understands that it’s a nonstarter politically because Americans are too entwined in the employer-based model (for some ungodly reason). Therefore, he backs the next best thing, which is *universal* care thru private insurers– so the Private insurance companies can continue to take 15% of the health care dollar off the top.
Listen to the two top clips again.
I know it’s tough to get through the terminology, but it’s kind of the entire argument, so if you don’t try to understand it, then it’s really pointless to discuss it further.
Sorry Tony, you cannot piss on our legs and then try to convince us it’s raining.
That doesn’t work here.
Obie has been clear. He wants single payer.
He specifically said so in the 2003 clip.
He specifically said in the 2007 clip that employer based coverage will be eliminated but not “immediately”.
Those are his words. Really, really simple and straightforward.
The terminology is not “tough”. On the contrary, it’s rather elementary and your attempts to gaslight us by attempting to spin the obvious into something it isn’t is more than a tad transparent.
Obama was either lying then or he is lying now. Either way, HE”S A LIAR! You can’t trust one word of what he says. Just look at all the campaign promises he has broken if you need more proof!

How humble and such a shining example of humility.
I sincerely believe the one truth Barack Obama spoke was back in October 2008 when he told ‘Joe the Plumber’ that he (Obama) intends to take the profits of business owners and “spread the wealth around” to those with less. Everything Obama has done, the porkulous package, the cars for clunkers, the ‘free money’ to seniors, the $200 back-to-school giveaway for needy kids in NY state…………. Its a never ending robbing Peter to pay Paul to level the playing field ……. its fantasy quest and it won’t end till we are either all flat broke and get issued with our government tin cup begging bowls or get ‘Team Obama’ and the Democrat lead Congress and House into minority lame duck status.

Question: “Was he lying then or now?”
Answer: Yes.
There is no inconsistency at all. He is in favor of *single-payer* but understands that it’s a nonstarter politically because Americans are too entwined in the employer-based model (for some ungodly reason). Therefore, he backs the next best thing, which is *universal* care thru private insurers– so the Private insurance companies can continue to take 15% of the health care dollar off the top.
Listen to the two top clips again.
I know it’s tough to get through the terminology, but it’s kind of the entire argument, so if you don’t try to understand it, then it’s really pointless to discuss it further.
Sorry Tony, you cannot piss on our legs and then try to convince us it’s raining.
That doesn’t work here.
Obie has been clear. He wants single payer.
He specifically said so in the 2003 clip.
He specifically said in the 2007 clip that employer based coverage will be eliminated but not “immediately”.
Those are his words. Really, really simple and straightforward.
The terminology is not “tough”. On the contrary, it’s rather elementary and your attempts to gaslight us by attempting to spin the obvious into something it isn’t is more than a tad transparent.
Great try though.
