Shades of 1984

"Obama says healthcare reform is needed to control the deficit." (Headline on Insight Broadband Homepage)

Talk about "government speak" from Orwell's 1984 that has got to be the most current version. Obama has already tripled Bush's deficit, which while campaigning he said he was going to eliminate, and wants to pass a bill that will add 1.5 TRILLION Dollars to the present deficit and somehow he expects us to believe that this will control the deficit. Thankfully, even some Democrats are beginning to balk at this.

I actually watched some of that speech last night well at least until I almost became violentally ill. He made one comment that made me turn the channel and not come back. Andrew or nobody else on here can dispute what I'm about to say either because it's fact plain and simple.

He said, ''I Inherited 1.3 Trillion dollars in debt'', then made one of those smirks he makes. Maybe PRESIDENT Obama needs another history lesson. The deficit was one third that when he took office, check it out all you want and look at Fact's. org, Snopes, and any other thing you want that statement is a bold face lie. The man is dilusional, and sometimes I think he might be on drugs or something, he lives in fantasy land.

One more thing I've noticed and wonder if any of you have noticed it. Yes what I'm about to say is somewhat silly and useless but I gotta say it. Have you noticed the new walk he sports now since he has won the office. Boy's that is a full out strut I tell ya, and it's noticable bigtime. Even my wife commented on it last night and she never say's anything about that kinda stuff. She is trying to find good in this administration, alot more than me, lol. She says, Wow he's got the strut going now doesn't he, I laughed hard and said I thought I was the only one that noticed this kinda stuff. He's cocky, there's no doubt, I just wish he could back up half of the bile he spews constantly for all our sakes.

Not sure where he got that figure. I believe you are right, it was not that high when Bush left office.

What gets me is the Dems can pass this without any input (let alone votes )from Repubs and yet BHO and other Dems keep blaming the repubs for their failure to pass it before they go on vacation. If this passes, I would love for the Dems to get all the credit, I'm just that kind of guy I guess.

Also when he was asked would he and his family be willing to go on this Government policy if inacted he dodged the question bigtime.

I tell you drives me mad is he claims he inherited this from the Bush administration. We all know the House controls the spending and the budget they can even veto the president and we had a democratic congress the last two years of the Bush administration. Pelosi stood up and said now we control congress we will straighten out this mess and we promise cheap gas etc. etc. You never hear that do you.

I haven't watched any news at all for what seems to be going on weeks now...Mhall did the president also have trouble holding his pants up with one hand? Ok...just kidding (sort of).

No offense to Mhall or anyone else who has posted on this thread, but this thread makes me feel ill...I guess because it's no frills, out on the table truth...and the truth is hard to accept sometimes.

Our President could care less about this country. Nobody could be so blind and irrational, so it must be apathy. Seems he only cares about how many of his huge social programs he can get in place. It's all about him and his legacy, to heck with the consequences. Besides, when it goes wrong just blame the Republicans.

Would he go into his government healthcare program? Are you kidding? Hell no he wouldn't, and neither will congress. He also sends his kids to private school instead of the public schools he raves about.

Eliteism, deceit, trillions of new debt, pushing left wing sponsored bills through with no analysis or clue of their long term effect on the country, broken promise after broken promise, outright lies tp prop up the deceit...

Yep. The politics of change folks. Change you can believe in.

"Our President could care less about this country....."

I really doubt that anyone runs for president who does care for the country. He just has a different idea of what is needed than what you have.

"...Besides, when it goes wrong just blame the Republicans..."

Which is the opposite of the repubs who just blame the dems.

"...Would he go into his government healthcare program? Are you kidding? Hell no he wouldn't, and neither will congress...."

Neither will I and you have that same choice too.

"...He also sends his kids to private school instead of the public schools he raves about..."

I think you'll find that almost all parents want the best for their kids and would go with private schools if they could afford it. Bet you'll find a few folks here that send their kids and/or went themselves. Given that he is president, would public schools even be an option? With the added security that would be needed, I'm not sure it could be done in most schools without disrupting the rest of the classes. Just a thought.

As far as pushing bills through, I didn't like that when the repubs did it, don't like it now the dems are doing it. Bout time these jokers learn that they work for us, not the other way around. Allow all sides to have the time to throughly read and understand the bills that they are voting on is important. I don't care who is trying to get them passed.
