Health Care Reform Opponents: Birthers, Racists, Right Wing Militia Members

Chicago-Way Politics Infects R.I. Senator

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today took shots at those who are not supporting the health care legislation. During a floor speech, he excoriated Senate GOP members for holding up the pending health care bill and accused their supporters of being birthers and fanatics in right-wing militia and Aryan support groups. He started off by citing an editorial from the Manchester Journal Inquirer, which used the insult "lunatic fringe.":

So I guess this makes Sen. Whitehouse and Obama's followers sheep then?

Obama Factoids - Updated September, 2012

What's happened since Barak Hussein Obama became President and the Nancy Pelosi Democrats took over the United States Congress?

Gas price, January 15th 2009 : $1.84/gal.

Gas price Sept. 15th, 2012 : $4.29/gal.

Most major economists predict gasoline will hit an all time high of $5/gallon by election day, and we're going to enter ANOTHER recession.

People on Food Stamps Inauguration Day: 30,000,000

People on Food Stamps Today : 48,000,000

Cost of Food Stamps, January 15th 2009: $35 BILLION

Cost of Food Stamps September 15th, 2012: $80 BILLION

Unemployment January 15th, 2009: 4.9%

Unemployment Sept. 15th, 2012 : 8.3% (Peaked 10.3%)

Since the recession began in December of 2008, 9.5 million American's have lost their jobs.

Of those 8.5 million, nearly 8.5 million have occurred under Obama's watch.

During OBama's first two years in office alone, unemployment reached a twenty-six plus year high of 10.2%.

CNN Reports There Are 400,000 fewer people working today, then when Obama took office! Where's the "Recovery?!"

There are now 25 MILLION People in this country who are Unemployed / Under-Employed / Gave Up Looking for work. That's more than any other time in this country's history.

That's more than the entire population of the State of Pennsylvania, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Unemployment Rate remains above 8% for the FOURTH year in a row - longer than any other time in history of this country.

How about Foreign Policy?

North Korea has successfully tested a nuclear weapon for the third time and has directly threatened the security of the United States of America by declaring the Korean War has resumed.

The response by the Obama Administration? Silence, followed by more 'sanctions' against North Korea. As if that's going to matter.

Iran has accellerated its nuclear program in defiance of the United States and the so-called "United Nations." The Obama Administration's response? Another useless sanction with the United Nations. Iran now has several THOUSAND centrifuges making fissible, nuclear material for BOMBS and is DIRECTLY threatening war against Israel now.

Obama's response: Threaten Israel.

On the Economic Front:

The "Misery Index" is once again being calculated - for the first time since the disastrous Jimmy Carter Presidency.

By printing and adding another $6 TRILLION dollars in DEBT, Obama has set the stage for 1970's style inflation. Welcome to the Obama Economy.

The Federal Budget Deficit, which was $400 billion dollars for 2009 as voted on and approved by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and yes, Barack Hussein Obama during the last year of the Bush Presidency

Obama Budget Deficits have exceeded $1.5 TRILLION Dollars each year he's been in office. That's a historic first! They can't blame this on Bush, they own this crap sammich!

How about Obama's record on Energy?

Obama is still pushing for Cap and Tax. Once Cap & Tax has been instituted, along with the $1/gallon fuel tax advocated by some Obama Appointees we can expect gas to be $6/gallon or higher, should Cap & Tax go into effect.

Obama's EPA has effectively SHUT DOWN all off-shore drilling, and all drilling on Federal land. The "boom" in drilling is happening on PRIVATE LAND where the EPA cannot stop it.

How about the War on Terror?

Afghanistan is LOST. Obama's failed policies have snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. The Taliban is resurgent, and the Obama Administration has entered into "negotiations" with the very regime that aided Osama Bin Laden in attacking us on 9-11-01. Why isn't Obama being impeached for TREASON?!

Obama - Change we can all believe in, to be sure (/sarcasm)

In this video from 2004, Barak Obama says he's not qualified to run for President before ever having served a day in the U.S. Senate. (Must be those 143 days of experience that made the difference!)

And another clip of Obama admitting he's not ready to be President (this time as as sitting U.S. Senator!)
