President Misleads Americans in Health Care Speech

After reading all the comments about the President's Health Care speech, this article summed it up the best. Turns out when Cong Wilson shouted out 'you lie' when the President talked about no healthcare for illegals, it was a lie. Today at a press conference, Minority Leader Boehner explained how twice the Democrats had voted down amendments that would make it illegal to give health care benefits to illegal aliens.

Congressman Wilson's remark which he apologized to the President for making during his speech, has shown this Nation that when a Republican makes a mistake they are not afraid to apologize. Note his apology was for disrupting the speech with his comment, not for the comment itself which was true. Obama didn't hesitate to attack those of us who oppose Obamacare. Please don't hold your breath on waiting for an apology from Obama or Dems -- it is a one way street as they call dissenters names but never apologize.

MSM has a short memory because a lot of us remember the booing of President Bush by the Democrats and shouting. Funny that were no comments made then or people shouting out identified. Let one Republican Congressman actually speak the truth and the MSM attacks him.
Obama also lied about about another important issue in the bill, paying for abortion, as pointed out below by Jordan Sekulow.

President Misleads Americans in Health Care Speech

Tonight, President Obama had an opportunity to reshape the health care debate. Instead, the President rattled off the same broad, partisan health care points that the White House Communications Department has been using for the last two months.
Where were the health care specifics we were led to believe this speech would include? Yes, President Obama told us that his plan, though the White House actually has no specific health care plan, would cost 900 billion dollars over the next ten years. Other than that, which most astute political junkies know is a "read my lips" moment in the making, the President merely echoed hard left partisan rhetoric while continuing to mislead the American people.

Let's get right to the most inaccurate statement made by the President tonight. President Obama said, "one more misunderstanding I want to clear up - under our plan, no federal dollars will be used to fund abortions." This statement is downright false.

After reading the comments around the Net on his speech, seeing how CNN spun the poll numbers, and listening to comments being made today, we have come to the conclusion that this bill that Obama said is an emergency even though not enacted until 2013, is not going to pass because it is a budget breaker. If we are to take the President's word that he will not approve a bill that would add one dime to deficit, then this bill is DOA as it adds billions and billions to the deficit.

Also we would like to know if there is so much fraud and waste in Medicare/Medicaid as alleged by the President, why are they not taking steps today to end the fraud and waste to lower the deficit. Why do we need a complete overhaul to fix Medicare/Medicaid fraud and mismanagement? We would also like to know how many Democrat campaign accounts are being filled up to support this boondoggle. Looking forward to see the FEC reports for this quarter and see who is giving the dollars to which Congressmen/Senators to vote for Obamacare.

All the Democrats need to do is roll up their sleeves and investigate where the fraud and waste occur and fix that before coming to the taxpayer to fund a complete overhaul of healthcare to give the Government say over our lives. If Uncle Sam cannot fix Medicare/Medicaid fraud and abuse, why would we want them handling our healthcare? Every American taxpayer should be asking this question: Why won't the Democrats investigate the fraud and mismanagement? Are they getting donations? Makes no sense.
