When I read this I gasped – for real. Wow! Just when you thought he couldn’t sink any lower. Not only did Obama eulogize a woman whose name he can’t remember, and turn it into an opportunity to reflect on himself, he even lied about her situation. He said she didn’t have health insurance, when in fact she did.
She had delayed going to a doctor after she began to feel sick. She explained that she could only afford so-called “catastrophic” insurance — one that required her to pay $5,000 in deductibles before the insurance kicked in.
My heart goes out to her family, but to say she didn’t have health insurance is a lie. The article linked above went on to explain that Melanie Shouse used her savings to start a small business. Apparently, she chose the large deductible policy, and chose to invest in her business. But what better investment is there than in one’s own life? If we aren’t willing to invest in our own lives, why should we expect others to make that investment?
And why did people laugh about Ms. Shouse being cremated in an Obama t-shirt?

This is the worst thing I’ve ever heard coming from a President of the United States. I knew “Slick Willy” was good at lying, but my goodness, Obama not even good at that!

I have a high deductible plan and it works very well for my family. So I don’t understand why this is even an issue.

I am really sick of the sob stories on tv, too. There are, yes, some people in this country who really don’t have what they need through no fault of their own. And Americans have always been willing to give those people a hand up. In this case, when a woman makes a different choice because she is basically flipping a coin, gambling on creating a successful business instead of paying for health insurance….well, first of all it’s her life and her choice to do that. Secondly, it is not true that you just can’t go get a mammogram. We are barraged, everywhere, with “free mammogram” messages. The free stuff is already out there. Free health care services for all those “children without insurance”, too. My brother is one of those suckling at the public teat his entire life and his FIVE children that he can’t properly care for have always gotten free health care at a public clinic here in Las Vegas.
It’s time for “our side” to start running tv ads with people who have had a great experience with health care in this country but, yes, had to pay for what they consumed and are actually OKAY with the notion of doing that! I just had that experience; bills will come in and I will spend my tax refund on those instead of the things I hoped to spend it on. And I am GRATEFUL—I had talented health care professionals caring for me and my problem was whipped in a week. I don’t mind paying them for that job. They’ll get thank-you cards and a bottle of wine, too.
Team Obama lies — time to pour on the truth from the other perspective. I’m willing to be a commercial even though I still look and feel like crap!

It would be a good bet that his teleprompter is trained to lie, too. This guy is incapable of speaking without telling a lie.

Since Obama inaugural, Republicans have had to face a series of “cr@p sandwiches” that they have been presented. HCR was just one more.
Besides if HCR had passed the afternoon of the Obama inaugural, Melanie Shouse would still have to wait 3 more years for the benefits part of the legislation to kick in, while her “friends,” the Democrats collected (and spent) taxes and said there was nothing they could do.
