Why We Need Health Care Reform
By BARACK OBAMA
More fauxrage.
The way the 'buyer' chose to publish. We do not hire/elect presidents to work part time jobs on the side. Plenty of $$$ to be had after their term(s).
Why why yours are valueless.I wouldn't read it if it was free.
Of course not. That's why opinions like yours are so valued.
Your calling me a half-wit is a joke. Seriously girl, you are a lost soul.Yes it was.

I don't understand how you are skewing this situation like that. There must be bloggers who stay awake nights inventing this shit, and you half-wits just ride along looking more and more ridiculous with every passing day.
yep... why would y'all disabuse yourselves of all the disinformation and fallacies you keep repeating...
oh yeah... near as i can tell, this is free...and it's the whole essay...hmmmmmmmmmm.... could it be the right once again playing fast and loose with reality?
oops....
Barack Obama's Healthcare Full Plan
That's a lot to read. This is much shorter and more to the point.

But of course stupids will misinterpret or twist what he means, like the above, so Obama probably doesn't expect you'll get this editorial either. I sure hope his next big agenda item is education. There seems to be a whole generation exhibiting grossly inadequate intelligence levels lately. Even worse than previously feared.
You can't even read a post and understand what it means. 
WTF!!!!!!............my union is going to be pissed...lol.....when this guy spoke to them at their convention.....he stuck a flag in every ass there.....said the PO was an example of a well run Government business.....and elaborated a little.....had everyone there cryin and pissing their pants in ecstasy.....
He was responding to a point that private businesses can never compete with similar government businesses, citing as examples FedEx and UPS as being BETTER run than the US Postal Service (which is only partially government owned anyway). How could seemingly smart people not comprehend what he said is beyond me.
Then attack the source of the costs, law firms that milked the medical industry as a cottage industry cash cow and the insurance companies that kept raising rates after each loss.
Craft legislation to end the cottage industry and insulate consumers from having 'costs passed on.'
This bill does NONE of that.
I'd start with the pharmaceutical companies first...then worry about the medical dudes..
Hey, the way your country is run, people have the right to sue...live with it...it's your system..
WTF!!!!!!......

well ill tell you what Maggie.....the unions in the PO dont see it that way.....this guy just pissed off a lot of Dems....who vote....you dont speak at a Union convention of postal people telling them how the Gov. run health plan can work and that the post office is a shining example of a govt run agency......and then after your elected as Pres. use the PO as an example of a Govt. run business that fails against the private sector....plus...i dont see that being a good point for a guy trying to sell a health plan touted to be better run than the private ones....

Should he have done the politically correct thing and lied? The Postal Service suffered a $2.4 billion quarterly loss earlier this month and expects a $700 million shortfall at the end of its fiscal year. If Obama had chosen to tout the "success" of the Postal Service, you guys would have been all over him...again...with that little piece of information.

Maggie, how many lies has Obama told already? Yet you still support him. How incredibly stupid of you.
At the New Hampshire town hall meeting, Obama stated that he never said he supported a single-payer health care system. But as clearly evidenced by this video, in 2003, he declared: "I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care plan."
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpAyan1fXCE]YouTube - Obama on single payer health insurance[/ame]
A shining example of his stupity also arose during that town hall meeting while on one hand, Obama and other supporters of the idea argue that we need to have a strong government plan to create more efficiency, drive down prices, and "keep private insurers honest." Yet at the same time, they have to make it appear weaker to push back against those of us who argue that it will threaten private insurance and move us toward a single-payer system. So then you get statements in which Obama, in the course of arguing for a government-run system, takes a shot at the government-run post office.

Show me a Republican worth his salt, and I'll consider supporting him/her. So..... enlighten me in the meantime, how many "lies" has Obama told? Be specific. Here, I'll help you out:

He also admitted that government controlled and subsidized US Postal Service has it's problems, mostly shortage of money, that is covered by the taxpayers. In the last 5 years cost of postal services doubled. Now, how can i believe that government provided health care will be cheaper and that government is going to save money, if based on USPS sample we all know that's not gonna happen?

Bullshit? I see you're not so bright as you think...
At first, I did NOT said that price of postage stamps doubled, but price of postal services. Second, last year, USPS was in debt $2.8 billion, this year estimates that debt will be over $4B. What do you think where USPS is gonna get that money from? Beside of debt, USPS is planning to cut delivery days from 6 to 5 per week. And do you think that all that junk ads they stuffing your mailbox with they are delivering for free?

Remember back in the campaign? Obama PROMISED this Administration would be different? Everything "out in the open". No Favors for Lobbyists, reigning in special interests, no pork, etcetera, etcetera, ad nauseum.
I do notice he gave it to one of his Staunchist supporters. I also note that it was done with taxpayer dollars to write this, and whether Obama likes it or not? He is on ON the taxpayer DIME 24/7.
He's just giving exclusives to his BUDS...and hopes no one notices.
Once again? He's wrong in his omnipotent ASSumptions.
