Matt Welch at Reason Magazine has a pretty devastating takedown of Obama’s healthcare speech, and includes in his write-up the long list of lies our President told in his address to Congress. Consider it a must-read.
So, President Obama, you said last night that people who lied and spread disinformation about your health plan would be “called out” – well, you, sir, are being “called out.”
Oh – and to drive home the point that it was Joe Wilson who was telling the truth last night in his outcry over Obama’s claims about illegal immigrants ‘not’ being covered under his healthcare plan, the Congressional Research Service has analyzed HR3200 and has found that … illegals will be “required” to be covered under the ObamaCare plan.
All these lies told by a President who had the audacity to call out others on alleged “lies” should be the real “outrage” of the day, not Joe Wilson’s outburst. Instead, you’ve got those in the perpetually outraged crowd like MSDNC’s Dr. Nancy Snyderman declaring that Wilson’s interuption “was a gut punch to me,” and The View’s Sherri Shepherd boasting that she supposedly “stayed up all night” contacting Wilson’s office in order to try and get Wilson to apologize – even though it was widely reported that he apologized almost immediately after the speech was over.
Would someone get these whining ninnies some smelling salts, please, so they can get over their latest case of the vapors? Heck, while you’re at it, get some for me, too – as I feel sick just writing about this.

His challenger is getting a lot of cash now in light of last night’s “uncivil moment,” but as AllahPundit explains here, the left is likely just pouring money down the drain in that race.

Lie 1 – This plan will not cover illegal aliens.
The very first time an illegal alien walks into an emergency room and is given aid, as I believe he/she should be, the national health care system will be paying for illegals. That person will not have insurance and as a result the insurance for everyone else will go up, the same as the situation is now.
Solution: Put in place a national identification program. All residents, leagal and illegal must register. All illegal residents go on a probation period to work for citizenship. Three months after the program is initiated the door closes. Anybody who hires a new illegal immigrant goes to jail. The border problem will go away and everyone covered will be legal.
Lie 2 – Abortion will not be covered.
Current government run medical programs have specific clauses prohibiting the use of public funds for abortions. The clauses are there because as any good lawyer knows, if it isn’t in print it doesn’t count. The Democrats refuse to place such a clause in the current legislation. Also, if you research the organization recommended to be on one of the committees that will help with ‘end of life’ decisons you will find that they were formerly the “Hemlock Society”, a group that promotes suicide. More death policy…
Obama considers abortion one of his pet projects. He is the senator who while serving in IL voted tht if an aborted fetus (I hate that word and I’m a biologist) comes out alive it must be allowed to die and not given aid. I guess it was “above his pay grade” to determine that life had begun at that point. The real sin is that so many people don’t know anything about Mr. Obama…they just like his style and so they vote for him. The USA got what it deserves.
3 President Obama will institute tort reform.
No. He only said he would look into doing trial runs of tort reform in selected areas as the Bush administration did. We don’t need trial runs. Did you ever wonder why it is so hard to get a doctor to deliver your baby? Today you get a midwife. The doctor won’t do it because of the huge liability. Sue a doctor and you get something. Sue a midwife and there is nothing to get. Doctors pay from $50,000 to $200,000 per year on malpractice insurance. They also practice defensive medicine that is just wasteful spending.
4 You will not be forced to give up your present insurance.
Come on! An employer has say 500 employees and pays $10,000 each per year in medical benefits. The goernment tells them that if they take away the health care they have to pay a penalty. Let’s say the penalty is $6,000.00 per employee. If the company does that they save $2,000,000.00 (2 million) per year. Sure, the government does not force you to give it up…your employer will. Mr. Obama knows how to speak. He says one thing and people think he said something else…quite deliberate on his part….and it works.
5 Competition between insurance companies and the public plan or the co-op will bring down prices.
How do you get competition when you refuse to allow people to purchase insurance across state lines? Wouldn’t you like to have a business that was afforded such protection from its competitors?
6 The savings from eliminating medicare and medicade will pay for the plan.
Come on! This one even makes used car salesmen blush. Show me some proof of how we are suddenly going to cut all the waste that we have never before been successful at doing. Did the president give any examples of how he would do this? No, of course not.
That’s enough…I had a bad day at work…now I feel better.
No president has ever been treated like this before- Rah m Emmanuel
Except that one time Obama booed Bush for saying social security was in danger.

passes Sister Toldjah smelling salts after I inhale…the look on Pelosi’s face was priceless…think I’ll keep that picture and relish it for posterities sake, mind you. Go Joe Go! Great post, ty!
Is the mainstream media reporting anything about Obama LIES or is everyone fawning over yet another campaign speech?
Of course Obama is a serial liar. That is pretty clear to everyone. “The One” is an egomaniac and thinks lining his pockets is our national duty. A more incompetent, venal person has never before been elected president. But he’s black so when he tells wild lies it’s racist to point out the obvious.
I wonder how long it will take for most of America to realize they have been duped? The MSM has been in full CYA mode to keep their “guy” in the good graces of Americans by selectively airing their opinions in the guise of news/journalism. If you get your news via the biased networks, what hope do you have of ever realizing that something is amiss?
I hope most of Sister’s friends will be in Washington, DC tomorrow to let the world see for once that we have numbers and we are educated and know the score. I will be there. Please if you are near Washington, DC make an effort to show up!
Without wood a fire goes out; without gossip a quarrel dies down. As charcoal to embers and as wood to fire, so is a quarrelsome man for kindling strife. The words of a gossip are like choice morsels; they go down to a man’s inmost parts. Like a coating of glaze over earthenware are fervent lips with an evil heart. A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but in his heart he harbors deceit. Though his speech is charming, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart. His malice may be concealed by deception, but his wickedness will be exposed in the assembly. If a man digs a pit, he will fall into it; if a man rolls a stone, it will roll back on him. Proverbs 26:20-27 NIV
These few words were part of my study this morning….it makes me realize that mankind has always had to deal with people like Obama and his followers.
And that’s the root of the problem here, Erick. We as a country have given race-baiters and haters like Jackson, Sharpton and Wright passes on so many outrageous lies for so long that now we fear upsetting anyone of color for any reason at all.
Well, not this old country boy. Our duly(?) elected president is a liar, just like Rep. Wilson exclaimed, and no amount of justification, coverup or whitewash will change that.
He is an evil person, and everything he does has to be fought because it’s all designed to increase his power and our dependence upon him and his rule. And race has nothing to do with that.
Yes, and this is how he got where he is. You either agree or you are a racist. With this premise, they have railroaded most of the rational people and been celebrated by the “bleeders” on the LEFT. Frankly, I am a little sick of being called “racist” every time I object to something this guy does or says.
