The fact that people on here claim that Obama is far left just goes to show how well the propaganda machine in the U.S. works. Extraordinary![/quote]
Yeah, we all know that Obama is a right wing conservative. Those lying bastards![/quote]
Yes and we all know what a committed socialist he is as well. His record speaks…[/quote]
If you understood even a little of how American politics works you would know that if a President wants to move either left or right he does so in increments. Some large some not so large. In his first term he passed the biggest government take over and control of individual rights in the history of the country, national health care. This was against the wishes of about 70% of the American people as well. In his second term he will move even further to the left as there will be no electorate to answer to.
Yes, he’s the most liberal President that we’ve ever had. But this would have been well known by the people had the press done their job. But they were busy trying to get Obama elected.
Stop playing the part of clueless Internet poster…You are playing right?

I would certainly challenge your assertion about the largest take over and control of individual rights being the health care plan.[/quote]
When you control such a large part of the economy you control it’s population. That’s why I laugh at the idiots who scream for “free” health care. As you’ve no doubt heard before, a government large enough to give you everything you need is also large enough to take everything that you have!
Control of the economy is by the private banking industry - not a national health care plan! Obama is a socialist - for the ultra rich.
Thank you for further proving my point.
You were wrong on your point. The Patriot Act is the most egregious personal rights grab over the general populace ever in the history of this country.
Not at all true. Most Americans are against national health care. And there is a good reason for that, 75% of Americans are very happy with their current health care. Obama did this to help the roughly 15% without health care. And that was nothing but a power grab by this progressive President.[/quote]
Actually this is true and has been so for decades. Americans want control over the unbelievable rising costs in our private run healthcare system. Their is something fundamentally wrong with a healthcare system that puts profits over health.[/quote]
No it isn’t true and simply saying it is doesn’t make it so…sorry.
I was a little off there are more Americans that are happy with their own health care than I originally thought.
“A combined 82% rate their healthcare as either excellent or good, which is on par with previous years.”
This is sort of like Congress. When people are polled “what do you think of Congress” they get low ratings. But, when asked, “what do you think of your own Congressman” the person gets high ratings.
As I said the overwhelmng majority of Americans are Happy with their health care and DO NOT want Obamacare!
[quote]. Why should the public be gouged with outrageous healthcare costs? So we can keep the pharmaceutical companies and the like incredibly rich? Why should the public suffer the consequences?
[/quote]
And the answer to that is competition. By the way Americans are more happy with their health care than any other industrialized nation.
Now stop the nonsense.
[/quote]
So the answer -according to you- as to why Americans pay about twice as much for healthcare is competition? Seriously?
Why aren’t the government run aspects of healthcare increasing in costs the way the private sector is?
And if you really believe that people are happy paying twice as much for anything to get less than stellar results, you my friend ae blind.
[/quote]
I just posted a survey which clearly demonstrates that most are happy with their health care.
You don’t like it? Too bad those are the facts!
If you’re not happy with your health care and you want others to pay your way just admit it. Because that’s all national health care is. Those who have worked hard for their money handing some of it to those who have not worked for it and don’t deserve it.
And that sucks for those of us who work hard and don’t feel a compulsion to pay for your health care.
Honestly liberals are not good for my health because they make me sick to my stomach![/quote]
Big deal. You posted a survey. How was the survey conducted? What questions were asked and in what way? Polls can be used as a way to guide people to come out with the answers wanted by those who fund the poll itself.It has been well known for decades that Americans favor some form of government run healthcare system. It has only been talked about recently because some major sectors of American power were starting to push back (manufacturing sector). It costs an extra $1,000 to produce a car in Detroit than it does in Canada because of the outrageous costs of healthcare, for example.

Every survey taken on the topic has pretty much come out to the same thing. Americans are happy with their health care. And if you don’t believe all the polls regarding how happy they are all you have to do is look at all the polls which clearly show Obamacare to be unpopular. Now why would that be if Americans were unhappy with their health care? Think about that.
[quote]The cost of American healthcare is a big deal and one of the reasons for a climbing deficit. What I want is a more efficient system that benefits the majority of the population for less costs. And that can be achieved as it is being done so in other 1st world countries. Our system should not be designed in order to enrich those at the expense of others.
[/quote]
Do you even know what you just said?
The system should not be designed to enrich others? But that IS the capitalist system. What we need is to open the borders and have a true free market health insurance system. So that more people might be enriched–More and better competition will drive down costs.
Show me how it’s fair that I have to pay for your health care because I make a lot of money and you are poor.
Honestly, do those on the left even think before spewing this nonsense?[/quote]
There have been plenty of surveys that say the exact opposite of what you say. Americans have for decades believed there should be some form of universal healthcare.
Yes you made my point. It is the capitalist system to enrich some at the expense of others.
What we need is open borders? Like NAFTA?
Please explain to me why a person who makes good money should force others who don’t to pay outrageous healthcare costs?
