			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Democrats and Obama do not even know what their own healthcare plan is about. This is nuts.</p>
<p>The government can&#8217;t run anything well. The government is accountable to nobody. They do not have to report to the shareholders or anything. They can&#8217;t run Medicare well, they can&#8217;t run Social Security well, they can&#8217;t run the Department of Transportation well, the Post Office is running out of money and Cash for Clunkers didn&#8217;t run well either &#8211; ask any car dealer.</p>
<p>So how does the big media come back and say that the backlash is all made up and fake? Look at the facts here. Why in the world would we trust our health to the government? Are you kidding?</p>
<p>Check out this article:</p>
<blockquote><p><a href="http://www.nypost.com/seven/07242009/postopinion/opedcolumnists/deadly_doctors_180941.htm?page=0" target="_blank">Deadly Doctors</a> (www.nypost.com)</p>
<p>THE health bills coming out of Congress would put the decisions about your care in the hands of presidential appointees. They&#8217;d decide what plans cover, how much leeway your doctor will have and what seniors get under Medicare.</p>
<p>Yet at least two of President Obama&#8217;s top health advisers should never be trusted with that power.</p></blockquote>
<p>Rahm Emanuel is bringing his brother in to advise. Wow, what a coincidence that his brother would be the perfect person for the job. That&#8217;s uncanny.</p>
<p>This reminds me of a song in the 1980s from Steve Taylor called &#8220;Lifeboat&#8221; which we used to lip sync and perform in high school because we thought it was funny. I guess we never thought that it could come true but Steve Taylor saw something coming. Here are the lyrics:</p>
<blockquote><p>Lifeboat</p>
<p>Teacher: Good morning, class!</p>
<p>Class: Good morning, Mrs. Aryan.</p>
<p>Teacher: Today we&#8217;re going to play a game!</p>
<p>Class: Yeah!</p>
<p>Teacher: This game is called Lifeboat. All together&#8230;</p>
<p>Class: Lifeboat!</p>
<p>Teacher: Good! Lifeboat is a lesson in values clarification. Can you say values clarification?</p>
<p>Class: No.</p>
<p>Teacher: Values clarification is where your little minds decide which lives are worth living and which lives are worth&#8230;ahem&#8230; not living. Now here&#8217;s how we play. A big ship just sank. There are five people on the lifeboat. But the lifeboat is only made for two. I&#8217;ll list the five people on the chalkboard, and you, class, will decide which three will be thrown overboard. Are we ready?</p>
<p>Class: Yes, Mrs. Aryan.</p>
<p>Teacher: Good! First, there&#8217;s an old, old crippled grandfather. Second, there&#8217;s a mentally handicapped person in a wheelchair.</p>
<p>Alison: What&#8217;s mentally handicapped?</p>
<p>Teacher: It means they can never be a productive members of society. Third, there&#8217;s an overweight woman on welfare, with a sniffling, whimpering baby.</p>
<p>Max: Is the baby on welfare, too?</p>
<p>Teacher: Let&#8217;s not push Mrs. Aryan&#8230;</p>
<p>Sydney: Who else is in the boat?</p>
<p>Teacher: A young, white doctor with blue eyes and perfect teeth, and Joan Collins. Now, class, take five minutes to make your decision. &#8230; Times up! Well class?</p>
<p>Class: Throw over grandpa &#8217;cause he&#8217;s getting pretty old</p>
<p>throw out the baby or we&#8217;ll all be catching it&#8217;s cold</p>
<p>throw over fatty and we&#8217;ll see if she can float</p>
<p>throw out the retard, and they won&#8217;t be rockin&#8217; the boat</p>
<p>Teacher: Very good! That was fun, wasn&#8217;t it?</p>
<p>Class: Yes, Mrs. Aryan.</p>
<p>Teacher: For our next lesson, we&#8217;re going to do an experiment!</p>
<p>Class: Yeah!</p>
<p>Teacher: We&#8217;re going to test the law of gravity, just like Galileo, by dropping two objects out the window&#8211;one heavy and one light&#8211; to see which one hits the sidewalk first. Now what shall we use for the lighter object? I&#8217;m thinking of something small and square&#8230;</p>
<p>Class: An eraser?</p>
<p>Teacher: Good! And what shall we use for the heavy object? I&#8217;m thinking of something round and bouncy&#8230; Tommy, I haven&#8217;t given you permission to leave your sea&#8230;class, the bell has not rung. What are you&#8230; oohh! Class&#8230;put me down! Put me down this instant! Ooohhh! Ooohhh!</p>
<p>Class: Throw over teacher and we&#8217;ll see if she can bounce</p>
<p>we&#8217;ve learned our lesson&#8211;teacher says perfection&#8217;s what counts</p>
<p>she&#8217;s getting old and gray and wears an ugly coat</p>
<p>throw over teacher and we&#8217;ll play another game of lifeboat</p>
<p>throw over grandpa &#8217;cause he&#8217;s getting pretty old</p>
<p>throw out the baby, or we&#8217;ll all be catching it&#8217;s cold</p>
<p>throw over fatty and we&#8217;ll see if she can float</p>
<p>throw out the retard, and they won&#8217;t be rockin&#8217; the boat</p>
<p>Yeah!</p></blockquote>
<p>Who are they calling Nazis here? The people against these health care programs?? What?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are ads from the Democratic party and the news media seem to be calling Americans at town hall meetings &#8220;angry mobs&#8221; and &#8220;unruly mobs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Obama himself told people last year to get in the face of people to spread his message but when other people get in the face of his friends, that&#8217;s wrong. A total double standard. Nobody can be against Obama, seems to be the rule. Well, the pot is boiling and is now boiling over. Get ready. People are not going to take this anymore.</p>
<p>I feel sorry for the Democrats out there who voted for Obama because they just didn&#8217;t want more of President Bush. Now look what you&#8217;ve got&#8230; an extreme leftist President that has spent your grandchildren&#8217;s hard earned money.</p>
<p>He is now trying to express a health care bill through that will nail to coffin of the American people. What he is saying is lies. He doesn&#8217;t even know what is really in the bill.</p>
<p>If we can&#8217;t speak up about this now, then we&#8217;re being oppressed. The Democrats think we&#8217;re drones and are not smart at all. They have a plan to make insurance companies the enemy on this. Just watch. The big news media will pick it up and run it like crazy &#8211; that is, if they don&#8217;t want to piss off their sponsors, which will be interesting.</p>
<p>What gets to me are the people that just listen to the big media and think they know it all. They don&#8217;t even use their brains and check out the other side and consider that point of view. Pathetic.</p>
<p>Even as I write this, a friend of mine posted something on Facebook saying that mis-information is being spread about the plan. So he has already made up his mind on the issue. I&#8217;m not going to change it because I can&#8217;t. He&#8217;s very narrow minded because of where he gets his news information.</p>
<p>Honestly, what government program works? Cash for Clunkers even had problems. All I hear from friends who have gone to state jobs or have been hired as a consultant for government jobs is that NOTHING gets done there. A guy I know that was hired as a consultant for the Department of Transportation was told by people working there to slow down. He was working too fast. He said screw that because he could not stand being in that place any more than he had to and he got done with that job quickly.</p>
<p>Government = waste</p>
<p>Why in the world would anyone in their right mind trust the government with health care. Your health care! Incredible! This just blows my mind. There would be one government body that would decide if you should receive health care for your health / specific treatments for you. They&#8217;d be looking at you and deciding if you&#8217;re worth keeping healthy. That just scares the crap out of me.</p>
<p>Yeah, if this doesn&#8217;t go through, Obama is done. He&#8217;ll be a failure. He&#8217;s pumping it up too much.</p>
<p>If this does go through, we&#8217;re all screwed.</p>
<p>The government (Obama) is using the media to do his dirty work. To go against his enemies and even destroy private citizens. This is very scary. Just do me a favor and look at all sides. Don&#8217;t be duped by people and the media lying to you. Don&#8217;t fall under their spell. Check out all angles. You owe it to yourself.</p>
<p>I write this as though we have a say in all of this&#8230; well, guess what? We do! Contact your Congressman.</p>
<p>-T</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ya might not want to listen to what Obama&#8217;s saying about his healthcare bill &#8211; or his team of leftist bloggers:</p>
<blockquote><p>Morning Bell: Obama Admits He’s “Not Familiar” With House Bill (www.heritage.org)</p>
<p>With the public’s trust in his handling of health care tanking (50%-44% of Americans disapprove), the White House has launched a new phase of its strategy designed to pass Obamacare: all Obama, all the time. As part of that effort, Obama hosted a conference call with leftist bloggers urging them to pressure Congress to pass his health plan as soon as possible.</p>
<p>During the call, a blogger from Maine said he kept running into an Investors Business Daily article that claimed Section 102 of the House health legislation would outlaw private insurance. He asked: “Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies even though H.R. 3200 is passed?” <strong>President Obama replied: “You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.”</strong> (quote begins at 17:10)</p></blockquote>
<p>He&#8217;s not really lying but he&#8217;s not telling the truth because he doesn&#8217;t know the truth. But not knowing the truth and portraying that you do &#8211; now that&#8217;s lying. So&#8230; LIAR! <img src='http://www.confusingobama.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>I&#8217;m hearing things like if this doesn&#8217;t go through, then Obama is sunk. Already? It has only been 6 months!</p>
<p>I wonder what the threshold is for promising change (not specifying change in which direction) and not coming through with <em>good</em> change. I think we&#8217;re getting close&#8230; very close.</p>

<p>The economy is in the tank and Obama is fundraising. Hmm. If Bush pulled anything like this, you&#8217;d be hearing about it everywhere and he&#8217;d be getting slammed left and right.</p>
