Ouch!
Let's sum up what those of us silly enough to waste our time watching the Obama infomercial really heard:
- Cost: We're going to take money from one area and move it to another. So how is that going to pay for the estimated 1.6 trillion dollars needed?
- Well, we're going to "tax rich people" which is anyone making over 25o K. hmmmm
- Oh yes, we're not ruling out taxing health care benefits.
- "If you like your doctor, we don't want you to have to change. Little different wording and not encouraging at all. Obama will "allow" you to keep your doctor. Ya think?
- We're in a crisis and if we don't act now Humpty Dumpty will fall off the wall, Rahm Emmanuel will become a Catholic, and Obama will get rid of his TelePrompTer. I doubt it!
- Speaking of TelePrompTer - did you notice how creepy his eyes looked as he scanned far right and far left to read his scripted statements?
I think we all need to keep in mind that federal employees, which includes members of congress, senators, and, oh gee whiz, the president, are exempt from this whole crappola plan. Now ask yourselves why!
Meantime, while we're distracted by this health care "veggie-matic" infomercial, Cap and Trade (Tax) is in the headlights and coming up for vote tomorrow.
The Wall Street Journal addresses this bill and warns what will happen to the budget of an average American household.

Gateway Pundit: Dems Cap & Trade Bill Biggest Tax in US History
Jammie Wearing Fool has a nice summation of Cap and Trade, "Largest Tax Increase in World History", what it's going to cost you, and how it's going to change your life. This bill is being pushed by likes of Al Gore, who stands to make millions, and is based on junk science!
Email your representatives and senators and tell them NO! NO on Cap and Trade, NO on Card Check, NO on hijacking our health care, and No on more "stimulus" money for anyone and for any reason.
You might add that any bill that they ram through should also include anybody working for the government to be subjected to the same health care plan as the "little people."

What?! You don't like the policies and programs of the current administration?! You find them to be exactly the opposite of what the country needs right now?!
Welcome. That's how I felt during the Bush administration.
Funny how the MSM didn't really pick up on any of your points. When I read that he said that instead of surgery just take a painkiller I thought that if that were Bush who said that, the media would have had that quote being used as an indication of how far removed he was. But not Obama.
