Rep. Wilson got it RIGHT, President Obama Lied

The Prevaricator-in-Chief put on a stunning performance the other night when he addressed Congress, once again obfuscating every bit of truth. Sure Obama Care will be everything to everyone ... so why wait 4 years to put it in place? Because, despite claims to the contrary President Obama wants to be re-elected before the light of the truth shines on him.

The Obamanation started out lying and kept right on lying all the way through. In my opinion Representative Joe Wilson showed remarkable constraint waiting as long as he did!

To illustrate, I'll stroke the Obamanation like he disingenuously stoked Republicans by first saying that I agree, no where in any of the Obama Care bills does it say there will be death panels. No where. But it doesn't say there won't be either.

Instead the bill advocates death counseling because, well, we could possibly cut costs if old people come to grips with the fact that they will or are dying and eschew expensive end of life treatments.

Question. Unless you are God (in which case this question is totally pointless) how will you know when you are actually going to die? This is not a rhetorical question without consequence. The obvious answer is that YOU DON'T! DOH!

But some people, bless their souls, will opt for the morphine drip and pass on because they will think they are dying and, you know, its the right thing to do for their family, friends and society. They will believe after they have received their "counseling" that they don't want to waste away or spend a bunch of money needlessly. Needlessly? To resort to the same moral rhetoric as the Obamanation if we save or extend just one life for a year, isn't the cost worth it?

So, yeah the "truth" is Obama Care doesn't include death panels, but that is clearly the net effect. Some people will die earlier because they will forgo every medical procedure available to them. Ergo sometimes death counseling will lead to premature deaths. The semantic advantage goes NOT to the Obamanation, but to critics like Rep Wilson and myself who, after examining the facts, undoubtedly believe that the Obamanation lied!

Another thing, I totally agree that Obama Care needs to be paid for before it’s enacted! But what if the costs soar over the Obamanation’s incredibly optimistic cost estimates just like the Congressional Budget Office say they will? Does the bill also contain protections and prohibitions that would render it void and discarded? NAY NAY. Another semantic advantage tending to prove that the Obamanation lied.

For every omission or half truth the Obamanation uttered there was an equal and most likely outcome that he denounced as a scare tactic! It's okay for the Dimwitocrats to assert falsehoods to scare people, but not critics. That's un-American and it sure doesn’t alleviate the inconsistencies and potential for misery that exudes from this liberal, progressive fantasy like stink on poo.

BS you say?? Fine. You don't have to take my word for it, the following WSJ article Medicare for Dummies details many of the Obamanation's manipulations of the truth!

Still not satisfied? OK, what if I said that I could embrace Obama Care IF it included ironclad prohibitions or expirations for every evil that any thinking person knows will happen. Sadly I am on solid ground here because Pelosi, Reid and the rest of the intellectually challenged Dimwitocrats won't include ironclad guarantees because they know the truth. To wit, that the criticisms against the bill are true or have a very high probability of coming about because the bill just doesn’t include exact, unambiguous language of the type that everyone reads and agrees says what it says!

The only explanation that makes any sense to me is that the Obamanation is so enamored of what he perceives will be and surely, rightfully is his place in history, he just can’t let this go. Yes he did make one hell of a fine pitch for Obama Care; but I just don’t believe what this liar is selling. I didn't believe him as candidate Obama and every single one of his actions since he has taken office concretely support that Rep. Wilson and I made the right assessment then as now. Obama lied!

For everyone out there who will think I am merely providing additional noise to the cacophony that is the health care debate I offer the following. I know it would be pointless for me to attempt to educate the Obamanation, but still, if I had a moment to speak with him I would suggest that he embrace the free market reforms advocated by the Cato Institute. I would stress that free market reforms would not be as alluring as his fantasy, but they sure make sense and cost nothing to implement! And from that standpoint alone they deserve a chance, unlike Obama Care which should be absolutely and totally abandoned and soon forgotten!

Share this Chart and Annoy Speark Pelosi

Rep. Kevin Brady of Texas designed this colorful chart depicting Obama Care that Speaker Pelosi and other Dimwitocrats don't want the public too see. Interestingly, they are not complaining that the chart is wrong or misleading, but Speaker Pelosi is preventing House members from using their Franking or mailing privileges to send the chart to their constituents.

Speaker Pelosi's decision begs the question, why is she afraid of this little chart? Could it be that too much information in the hands of the public is not a good thing? Could it be that the Dimwitocrats are afraid to tell voters what is contained in Obama Care before its enacted? Things like the Office of Minority Health? Or Office of Civil Rights? Or Health Choices Administration? Maybe!?!

But who cares! Nows our your chance to annoy Speaker Pelosi like she's been annoying us! Past this chart along to everyone you know and let them know how you feel about Obama Care!!!

President Obama's Consciously Dishonest Way

I can certainly see why the left hates Karl Rove so much, his clarity of thinking, factual recall and insights are dead on. So when he takes President Obama to task like he does in his recent WSJ article entitled: The President Moves the Economic Goalposts his observations are devastatingly accurate.

This time Mr. Rove ridicules the President for attempting to redefine what he meant when he said we had to have his stimulus package now so that the economy could start getting immediately better and unemployment would not rise above 9 percent. Well unfortunately the economy hasn't gotten better and unemployment is above 9.5 percent and still rising.

Just before President Obama made his pitch for his must have Stimulus Bill the CBO said that if we did nothing we would be out of this recession by the third or fourth quarter of this year. Now President Obama says that things are going to remain bad for all of this year and most of next. Could it be that President Obama's stimulus bill had the exact opposite effect on the economy? Well of course it has. Anyone with a reasonable intellect knows that pork barrel spending does not equate an investment in revitalizing the economy. It may well be an investment in getting the intellectually challenged likes of Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and a whole host of other liberal Dimwitocrats re-elected, but it ain't gonna help the economy.

And remember how the progressive, liberal media howled at conservative pundits for suggesting that President Obama's plan wasn't gonna work? Where are those same self-serving twits now? I sure wish someone would hold President Obama AND the media accountable now before President Obama and Congress make some even graver mistakes with Cap and Trade, healthcare and worse, a second stimulus package!

Speaker Pelosi's CIA Quagmire

I have enjoyed watching Speaker Pelosi squirm in response to her self-inflicted CIA imbroglio. Poor girl cannot escape her own outrageous lies! Unfortunately the morass is entangling others as the WSJ points out their commentary entitled About that CIA Lie.

The facts weave a disgusting story of some Dimwitocrat low lifes who authored a deceitful letter to Leon Panetta in an intellectually challenged attempt to discredit the CIA and to unsnarl Speaker Pelosi.

Long story short, the partisan pigs were outed for their chicanery. Bet it’s no big surprise that the Diwitocratic low lives came from California, Florida, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Washington, huh? Well, it is a bit, because somehow New York was excluded!!

Regardless, Representatives Eshoo, Tierney, Holt, Thompson, Hastings, Schakowsky and Smith ought to be ashamed of such blatant buffoonery. As my cartoon hero Bugs Bunny used to say, “What maroons! What embezzles!” When will the decent people they represent get fed up and say enough and elect honest representation?

Consequences

Speaker Pelosi says we are losing 500 million jobs every month, so we need to act now. According to the Census Bureau Population Clock there are about 306 million people in the U.S. The magnitude of Speaker Pelosi's error makes me wonder if she did not commit some other errors of magnitude when she helped draft the Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Increased spending of the magnitude that contained in the Act will harness our future with an incredible debt.

Simple interest on the Act's trillion dollar spending spree is somewhere in the neighborhood of 35 to 45 billion dollars a year. Can we really afford that?

What got us into this mess were rocketing home prices caused by questionably-qualified mortgages, congressional interference pushing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to purchase risky mortgages, lax oversight and unethical congressional behavior and historically low interest rates, all of which was rationalized on sky rocketing home prices. That's right. Rising prices lulled lenders into making 100 percent or no money down mortgages. President Clinton pushed through modifications to the Community Reinvestment Act and Congress, instead of providing oversight pushed Fannie and Freddie to do more and accept ever riskier mortgages. Alan Greenspan contributed by keeping interest rates low. All of which kept home buyers motivated to offer ever higher prices. Prices that everyone relied upon to explain their behavior, which in turn pushed prices higher1!

When the government borrows money, it can take on many forms including notes, bonds and bills. But mostly Government borrowing is more like a uncapped adjustable rate, interest only loans. When the government needs money the Treasury issues various instruments and then according to the terms and conditions contained therein Treasury makes interest payments at various intervals. Currently the long term rates are at about 4.5 percent.

The problem is, for every 1 percent increase in the repayment interest rate, we increase our burden another 10 billion dollars. Since there are no market caps on how much the repayment rate can increase or decrease we can not accurately forecast how much this debt will cost us. If everyone stopped supporting our debt and demanded the repayment of their principal investment, the Government would fail. The bottom line is that no one can say or predict with any clarity what will happen and how much we will eventually owe.

Remember the surge in gas prices? Most industry analysts now agree that the most likely cause of the steep and rapid increase of oil prices was speculators. What if speculators start artificially manipulating the Treasury market. Interest rates could shoot up and our debt could skyrocket.

Consider too that this is a course of action from which we cannot retreat. We cannot default or walk away from our debt because once we accept the money and spend it, we are burdened with the debt until we can retire it and repay principal obligation.

Which gets us back to the Act. President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and myriad others say if we don't spend money now we may never recover. But at what price? No one can say for sure what that price is or what will happen if we pass the bill or if we do not.

Therefore, it is my fervent hope that all the Senators and Representatives think about the consequences of the Act before they cast their vote. I for one hope they stand up to President Obama's and Speaker Pelosi's dire admonition that we must do something and vote NO on the Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

re: Look at the Time, Peggy Noonan, WSJ, 1/30/09

Ms. Noonan is right. America needs it's politicians to recognize that times have changed and the old ways can not and should not be tolerated. President Obama left the crafting of his stimulus package to Congressional Demwitocrats who seemingly just could not resist the temptation to burden the package and taxpayers with amazing amounts of pork. The WSJ's analysis of the package can only justify about 12 percent of porkage as something that can actually stimulate the economy.

President Obama promised change but what he actually delivered was more of the same old partisanship by abdicating his role as consensus builder to the Goldmansachs Head (GSH - coined by Ms. Noonan in her article) suffering Speaker Pelosi and her merry band of pokers. Worse, because President Obama is still the darling of main stream media Republican disapproval was "reported" as Rush Limbaugh vitriol. Remarkably Speaker Pelosi came to the rescue by placing her GSH on display by attmpting to defend her pet condom project as "cost cutting" stimulus.

Americans need to wake up and realize the impact of the numbers being tossed around. Glen Beck's Inconvenient Debt puts our economic troubles in frightening perspective. We simply cannot afford the massive amounts of spending contained in President Obama's Stimulus Package. We need stimulus, but nothing is better than the Speaker Pelosi's GSH based porkage.
