Democrat Dick Durbin Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) called the leader of his Party a liar.
Melanie Hunter-Omar reported in CNSNews.com that Sen. Dick Durbin a very highly placed Democrat contradicted President Barry Hussein Soetoro on whether the health care reform bill will lead to a decrease in health care premiums. According to Hunter-Omar, Durbin claimed that rates would go up, while the president is campaigning all across America claiming that Congress passing his health care plan would result in rates that would go down. (see article)
Durbin on the floor of the Senate was attempting to be truthful about Health Care cost (see :13 sec. video)
The president on the other hand must still believe that he’s campaigning because he’s stomping for health care like he’s on a permanent campaign. Even though he snapped at Sen. John McCain in the Health Care summit just days ago telling Sen. McCain that the campaigning was over.
Here’s the downside of why campaigning again may not be a good idea for president Soetoro. Stomping for health care like the president is doing just may remind people of all of the campaign promises that he didn’t keep; ending the war, closing Gitmo in a year, that he wouldn’t employ lobbyist in his administration, etc, etc, etc.
"Our cost-cutting measures mirror most of the proposals in the current Senate bill, which reduces most people’s premiums, and brings down our deficit by up to 1 trillion dollars over the next decade because we’re spending our health care dollars more wisely.”—president Barry Hussein Soetoro
The president is quick to tell us that what he is quoting are not his numbers, ah yeah because there just might be a little belief problem between the American people and this president. So it’s probably best that he cites someone else’s numbers for believability sake.
However, maybe one should cite them correctly Mr. president. The CBO’s analysis of the final Senate health care bill, as reported by Melanie Hunter-Omar, indicates that your health care reform would impose a mandatory $15,000 annual fee on middle-class families that earn greater than 400 percent annually of the federal poverty level. That means $88,200 for a family of four.
That means Mr. president that according to the source that you cited there would be an increase of premium cost on the middle-class not a cost decrease. Mr. president I hate to remind you of this but in your campaigning you promised not to raise taxes on the middle class by one penny. Maybe campaigning and promising when put together isn’t your strong suits Mr. president.
But no worries Mr. Soetoro the next president of the United States of American, in 2012, Rep. Paul Ryan has no problem with believability nor does he need a teleprompter to make him appear to be articulate and in command of this subject matter.
Mr. Ryan knows the health care subject well.
"And, so really what this is more about is ideology than health care policy. Because if this was about health care policy we could get a bipartisan agreement tomorrow. It’s not about health care policy."-- Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.)
This is what we’ve come to expect from Rep. Ryan. He put his finger on exactly what is wrong with this health care bill Democrats have politicized it like everything else that they have done in the last wasted year. And sadly Mr. president what we have come to expect from you is ultra-partisanship and lies.
That is the reason that Democrats deserve to be swept out of Congress in 2010 and why the Usurper who has spent over One million dollars to remain unconstitutionally in office must be striped of the trappings of power that he never did and does not now deserve.
Paul Ryan for President!
