Plus, you have the government MANDATING that we all purchase healthcare, for the love Of God.
You don't mention being the major share holder of Government Motors. You don't mention the bail out of the lending institutions. You don't mention the Cash for Clunkers. You don't mention the money giveaway for home buyers. You don't mention the redistribution of wealth that he is setting into motion. No, no he's no liberal. He just isn't liberal enough for YOU, Modbert. Can you at least admit that?
Obama didn't bail out the lending institutions. He isn't an Liberal. You mention bailing out GM, but it was a loan and not free money. If the best thing you have to say he is a Liberal is Cash for Clunkers then you're reaching.
Wealth redistribution? Give me a break. The tax rate for the highest % going back to the level it was in the Clinton years is not wealth redistribution.
Also, the government mandate was not a Liberal or Democrat idea.
Health insurance mandate began as a Republican idea - The Boston Globe
The obligation in the new health care law is a Republican idea that has been around at least two decades. It was once trumpeted as an alternative to Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton’s failed health care overhaul in the 1990s. These days, Republicans call it government overreach.
“The idea of an individual mandate as an alternative to single-payer was a Republican idea,’’ said health economist Mark Pauly of the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School. In 1991, he published a paper that explained how a mandate could be combined with tax credits — two ideas that are now part of Obama’s law. Pauly’s paper was well-received — by the George H.W. Bush administration.
Guess the 90's Republicans were a bunch of Liberals.
So give me a break. On top of that, one of the biggest reasons the mandate was put in the first place was because they got rid of pre-existing conditions. Something any American should be for.
