Wow - just saw this on Drudge report. Did you know that Speaker Pelosi's (aka Obama's) health care bill that will be voted on this weekend contains a provision that very explicitly says that each participant in the government option will have a minimum of $1 of his monthly premium set aside for abortions? So if my family is somehow forced off our private insurance and onto this plan, we will be paying $48 a year at a minimum for someone to do something that we consider murder?
In addition, the Health and Human Services Secretary is the one who will decide when abortion is allowed under the plan.

More $$ for Trial Lawyers!!
I'm sure you've heard that the House is set to vote on a 1,900 page health care bill this week.
It's going to destroy health care in America and will cost us $2.24 million for every word that's written in that 1,900 page bill. I've heard so many negative things about this bill - like states can opt out of participating in the bill, but not paying for it; that the bill requires 42 studies on a variety of medical issues be performed; that the word "tax" is used 214 times and the word "shall" is used 3,425 times - but here's a rather interesting tidbit I heard today.
In Section 2531, the bill establishes an incentive program for states to adopt alternatives to medical liability litigation. That's great, right? Medical malpractice suits are part of the reason health care costs so much. But wait - a state is not eligible for those payments if they limit trial attorneys' fees or impose a cap on damages.
Now wait a second, why would this bill disallow states to limit trial attorneys' fees in medical malpractice cases? That would help bring the cost of health care down, right? This is supposed to be a bill to help fix our health care system, right? Could it be because 95% of trial attorneys' political contributions go to Democrats?

I Wish I Had Appreciated You When You Were Here, Reagan!
Read this about how Obama's "pay czar" is set to review the compensation packages of seven companies that received bailout $$, including AIG and GM.
Then listen here to Ronald Reagan in 1961 warning about the government getting involved in private companies (at the very beginning, later on it's all about the evils of socialized medicine and it is excellent).
It makes me want to go out and buy this t-shirt.

Who's Been Planting Now Obama?
On my way home from an errand today I heard an analyst who had read it three times telling about the hidden goodies in the House's health care bill. Stuff I hadn't heard. Stuff that made my blood boil. I will try to put together a list by tomorrow.
If you listen to one-tenth as much conservative talk radio as I do you will have already heard about this but just in case you haven't: There was an adorable 11 year old girl at Obama's town hall meeting who read a question off of a card about those mean signs that she saw people outside the town hall meeting holding. If you missed it you can watch it here. Turns out that little girl's mother is a huge supporter of Obama's who has previously met the Obama ladies and whose law firm has given him thousands of dollars. Click here to read more.
I find it extremely amusing that Obama and his administration have called legitimate health care protestors "plants" from the right wing, accused them of carrying swastikas and said they are not ordinary concerned citizens while THEY are caught red handed using children to read planted questions at a completely phony health care town hall meeting. Keep it up, Obama! Can't wait until 2012.

Obama's Phony Town Hall Meeting
Did anyone watch Obama's "town hall meeting" today? Not at all choreographed in the slightest. The crowd was shouting "yes we can" when he finished and cheered when he said that the stimulus is working. (That's funny, I thought unemployment has continued to rise). He could barely start spewing his lies in the first place b/c the applause was so loud when he showed up.
How stupid do you think we are Obama? Do you think we haven't seen the non-choreographed town halls popping up across the country with angry citizens demanding to know what will happen to their elderly and disabled loved ones under his plan? (I considered going to a town hall meeting for a democrat rep in Atlanta last night to watch the carnage but I had something else to do. I'm glad I didn't go b/c I heard someone who went say that when someone had the nerve to ask the rep if this plan was constitutional he was escorted out! How's that for free speech?)
During the town hall Obama said he did not support a single payer healthcare system. That's a LIE!!
Another lie: if Americans are happy with their current insurance plan, they can keep it under his plan. I don't know what plan he's referring to b/c in the house's health care bill which you can read by clicking here, if you will scroll to around pages 15-17, it doesn't read to me like I can keep my current health insurance. At least not if I ever change employers.
Another interesting tidbit - Rahm Emanuel, Obama's chief of staff, has a brother who is a leading proponent of state assisted suicide. Lovely. Click here to read about that.

Obama's Making Lists and Taking Names
Did you know that the White House's blog on Wednesday asked for supporters to email anything on the web about health insurance reform that "seems fishy"? It should be emailed to flag@whitehouse.gov. How about emailing every single thing Obama says about health care to flag@whitehouse.gov? Everything I've heard out of his mouth about it's been an absolute lie! (The White House web posting isn't there anymore. I checked the White House blog even though being there made me sick).
The blog read: "There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there. Since we can't keep track of all of them here at the White House, we're asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov."
And no, of course the White House isn't keeping an enemies list. Of course they don't retaliate against their opponents - HA! "We want to be sure people have the facts about health insurance reform that will lower costs, protect consumers from insurance regulations that deny them coverage and assure quality and affordable health care for all Americans," said Adam Abrams, a White House spokesman. He said no lists or sources of the information would be compiled.

I'm Not Paying for Someone Else's Abortion!
I knew there was a reason (besides crappy health care and more taxes) that I opposed government health care - according to this article, abortions will be covered under the government's plan!!

Raising My Taxes to Pay for Obama-care
So let me get this straight:
According to this article, in exchange for the privilege of being forced out of my excellent private health insurance which I love and being forced onto a government health care plan, my taxes are going to go up? And this is all because Washington DC thinks it's not fair that some people don't have health insurance? Even though many of those without health insurance don't have it because they choose not to have it, not because they can't afford it? Even though there is no big outcry from the American people to provide us with free medical treatment and in fact polls show the majority of Americans don't want it?

Another Round-up of Recent News
Sorry for the break everyone. I had a surprise medical problem a couple of weeks ago and ended up spending a week in the hospital. I'm now catching up on what the Obam-inable one has done recently.
1. North Korea just staged an underground nuclear test. Reminder: out of all of Obama's massive spending, what is one of the few areas he actually cut? Missile defense.
2. Obama nominated his first supreme court justice. Yes, she is both a woman and a minority, as predicted. This woman has a hard core record as a leftist on the Court of Appeals (but did we expect anything less)? In 2002, she said during a speech that it's appropriate for a judge to consider their "experiences as women and people of color" during decisionmaking. Wait a second, isn't justice supposed to be blind? She also has acknowledged that she believes judges aren't there to interpret laws as our founding fathers intended, but rather to make their own rules, saying that "the Court of Appeals is where policy is made." Judges like her are the reason that gay marriage is legal in Iowa, not because voters want it, but because judges do. We can expect bad things from this.
3. Obama's new car tax: Obama announced the nation's first national emissions standards for cars and light trucks. By the time the plan is complete in 2016, consumers can expect to pay an extra $1300 per vehicle. In addition, consumers can expect to pay an extra $700 for changes he's already approved. Wait, I thought he wasn't raising taxes on 95% of working families?
4. Michelle Obama, in a speech at UC Merced, urged graduates to "give something back". Did you know that between 2000 and 2004 the Obamas did give something back - less than 1% of their income was donated to charity. The biggest donation was made to the church that espouses hate towards America and white people.
5. Perhaps the most ridiculous of all things he's said lately: Obama told Americans "we're out of money . . . . this is a consequence of the crisis that we’ve seen and in fact our failure to make some good decisions on health care over the last several decades."
Yes, we are out of money b/c we don't have socialized medicine. Hey, wait a second, don't we have free healthcare for the elderly? And isn't that system completely, totally out of money? So how is adding more people to that plan going to help? Click here to read more.
6. Finally, a little comic relief: remember Obama vowing to close Gitmo, making a big deal out of that, emphasizing that we don't want that sad chapter to continue in America's history, etc. Well the Senate gave him a little dose of reality - they voted to not give any funding in order to close it. Ha ha ha ha ha.
