Obama told another whopper, and no one called him on it, till now.
After listening to and watching the childish antics of the democrats in the House wasting their time and our money, going through the motions of rebuking Rep Joe Wilson (R-SC) for yelling out the phrase "YOU LIE" at the president during his address to the joint session, I was pleasantly surprised to read an article in the Wall Street Journal by "Jonathan Weisman" today 17 September, 2009 pg A-4.
It seems that the "Anointed One" in trying to make a case for health-insurance regulation, told a rather poignant story about a guy in Illinois, who was getting chemotherapy, but was dropped from his insurance plan when the insurer discovered an unreported gallstone (which by the way, the patient didn't even know he had).
"They delayed his treatment and he died because of it" the president said in a nationally televised address.
In point of fact the man , Otto S. Raddatz, didn't die because the insurance company rescinded his coverage once he became ill, an act known as recission. Through the efforts of his sister and the office of the Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, they were able to get Mr. Raddatz's policy reinstated within three weeks of his April 2005 recission, and secured a life extending stem cell transplant for him.
The patient's sister, Peggy M. Raddatz, testified before the House Energy and Commerce oversight subcommittee on 16 June, 2009, that her brother ultimately received treatment that extended his life for another THREE years.
Just goes to show that the "Anointed One" can blow smoke with the best of them. Ah yes, a rose by any other name still smells like fertilizer. I have cleaned up the language a bit.
(In the interest of civility you know).
Where was the outrage when Harry Reid called President Bush a liar, or when during the 2005 State of The Union address, the democrats were raucously booing him during his address.
And you clowns want Mr. Wilson to apologize for calling a liar a LIAR?
Now enter Jimmy (the boob) Carter, probably the most ignorat imbecile that ever occupied the Oval Office, who came up with his outrageous statement that it was generated by racism. Carter is one of the most virulent anti-semites on the planet and he wants to talk about racism?
He mumbled some garbage about showing respect, I have news for you Mr. Carter, as well as all the rest of you, self important, elite parasites in D.C., respect is not, REPEAT, Not a given, it must be Earned, and all of you weird people have about a gazillion miles to go to earn anything that even closely looks like respect, at least from me and anyone that I know.
The democrats want to keep this thing going as a distraction from the real issue of health care reform, which they will try to ram through over the objections of the American people.
I look forward with great anticipation to the mid term elections, perhaps I will be lucky enough to be rid of Harry Reid (I live in Nevada), but seriously they all need to be thrown out of office and sent packing and not be allowed to run again (even for dog catcher).
If we are ever lucky enough to force term limits into being, one of the provisions should be, a candidate can have two terms in the house or two terms in the senate, or one term in the house and one in the senate but not both. Otherwise they would be in town for 16 years and we would be right back to same old same old, and once you have had your two terms you cant run again. Enough with career politicians, some of these parasites have been there for 30 and 40 years, that's how we got in this mess in the first place, ENOUGH ALREADY!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!
