Obama In His Own Words

Denies Biggest Tax Increase In History of World

Obama Denying ObamaCare Increases Taxes

It’s now official because the US Supreme Court says so: ObamaCare is a TAX.
It is the biggest tax increase in the HISTORY of the world to the tune of $500,000,000 (that’s billion, folks.)

Since the US Supreme Court saw fit to re-write legislation and call it a tax, who am I to argue?
Obamacare is dead.  It is now

The Obama Health Tax.

Note to the Romney Campaigin: Call it like it is. It’s the largest tax increase in the history of the world, and give Barack Hussein Obama full credit for it!

Overnight polling shows that more than 70% of American’s disagree with Chief Justice John Roberts and the US Supreme Court decision.  Those numbers are only going to get worse as time goes on. 

The Romney Campaign must seize upon this opportunity because if they do not, Romney will be perceived as “Obama Lite” and be relegated to the political history heap.

Join with the Tea Party folks, here’s our rallying cry.  Obama and the US Supreme Court did exactly what we told them not to prior to the 2010 elections, and now it’s time to exact our revenge.

Friday Night News Dump: White House says 51 percent of company health plans won't meet Obamacare guidelines

Obama Lied - Again! You Cannot Keep Your Current Health Care

We can always count on this Administration to dump the bad news on a Friday night when most people aren't paying attention.  Here we go again.

From Sean Higgins and David Hogberg at Investors Busienss Daily (as cited in the Washinton Examiner)

Internal White House documents reveal that 51% of employers may have to relinquish their current health care coverage by 2013 due to ObamaCare. That numbers soars to 66% for small-business employers.

The documents — product of a joint project of the Labor Department, the Health and Human Services Department and the IRS — examine the effects new regulations would have on existing, or “grandfathered,” employer-based health care plans.

Draft copies of the documents were reportedly leaked to House Republicans earlier in the week. Rep. Bill Posey, R-Fla., posted them on his Web site Friday afternoon.  (View the full report here.)

Shock of shocks, even the Associated Press covered this story, I can't believe they didn't ignore it: The dishonesty that was used to sell the health care overhaul:

Over and over in the health care debate, President Barack Obama said people who like their current coverage would be able to keep it.

But an early draft of an administration regulation estimates that many employers will be forced to make changes to their health plans under the new law. In just three years, a majority of workers — 51 percent — will be in plans subject to new federal requirements, according to the draft.

Is anyone surprised to learn that Obama and the Democrats outright LIED to the American people, and continue to do so, in order to "sell" ObamaCare?  By hook or crook, each and every one of us will be forced into government rationed health care unless the Democrats are tossed from power this November, and we elect good Conservative candidates hell bent on repealing this obamanation of a law.

Remember in November!

The Slaughter Rule Starts Now

Insurance Companies Will Follow Credit Card Co. Example

The real "Slaughter Rule" starts now.  The Health Insurance Comanies have six months before they're impacted by ObamaCare, and I predict they'll follow the example set before them by the Credit Card companies earlier this year.

Much like the Credit Card companies cleansed themselves of their most difficult payers or those at the highest risk of default, the Health Care companies are about to start cleansing their insured roles with those they deem at highest risk of impacting their bottom line.

And it'll be perfectly legal for the next six months.

Have a pre-existing condition?  Prepare to get dropped.  Have a child or spouse with a pre-existing condition?  You're about to get dropped too.  Approaching 55 or 60 years old?  Are you a woman who gets a yearly mammogram?  Prepare to get dropped.  Have arthritis, trouble breathing, back problems or a genetic predisposition towards any disease?  Yep, you're going to get dropped too in the next six months - and it'll be perfectly legal.

No one's talked about this provision in "ObamaCare", that the law won't take affect for six months and during that time the Insurance Companies can drop on demand any paying customer for any reason, meaning they'll keep the healthiest only.

This is what ObamaCare has wrought upon America - and the Democrats who passed their bill yesterday didn't bother to stop and tell you - the peasants among them who's opinions didn't matter - what the implications of the bill would be.

How's that hopey-changey crap working out for you now?

Democrats Forcing Constitutional Crisis

I Would Rather Die Without ObamaCare, Than Live In An America Without A Constitution


Obama is a left-wing Socialist, of this there can no longer be any doubt. Since coming to office, Obama has ignored all Constitutional retraints and has exploded the size and scope of the Federal Government, seeking to impose his will on our daily lives.

Obama has nationalized major parts of our economy already: the banks, Wall Street, GM and Chrysler, fully 2/3rds of the nation's automobile industry, seized large tracts of energy rich land and banned energy exploration, seeks to impose cap and trade via the EPA's declaration that carbon dioxide is a pollutant and seeking to impose major new taxes for all forms of energy consumption.

This is the damage that Obama has already done.

Now he wants to seize control of the best health care system in the world - and destroy it.  This has always been his plan.  What plan you may ask?  His plan to implement Social Justice in America.

Most of you who read this think this is all about transforming America into a Socialist country, similar to that in Europe, and in large part that is true.  But for Obama this is about much more.  This is about Social Justice, and re-distributing wealth from the producers in this country to the consumers to "level the playing field."

To put it more bluntly, everything Obama has done to date has been about taking away from those of us who work hard, play by the rules, live according to our means and save and invest in this country, to give to those fat, lazy, government cheese eating welfare rats who've been waiting their whole lives for the Government to take care of them.

Get it now?

Under Obama and the Socialist Democrats, our economy will fall under a command-and-control bureaucratic corporatist state. Obama and the Democrats even want to nationalize education and your and my 401k plans because they think we're too stupid to manage our own money.  This coming from the same Administration that couldn't manage cash for clunkers properly.



The most troubling aspect of the Obamacare debate, however, is not the measure's sweeping and radical aims - the transformation of one-sixth of the U.S. economy, crippling tax increases, higher premiums, state-sanctioned rationing, longer waiting lines, the erosion of the quality of medical care and the creation of a huge, permanent administrative bureaucracy. Rather, the most alarming aspect is the lengths to which the Democrats are willing to go to achieve their progressive, anti-capitalist agenda, which is to directly subvert the Constitution of the United States of America and simply "deem" the bill passed without actually voting on it.

This so the Democrats can say when the shit hits the fan "we didn't vote FOR the bill."  Really?  How stupid do they think we are?  By voting for the Slaughter Rule (how appropriately named that is!) they are defacto passing the bill.  Perhaps some knee-pad wearing Obama Supporter may fall for that line, but the rest of us who knew what a marxist bastard Obama was before he was even elected, we knew this was coming.

The fact is, Obamacare is opposed by nearly two-thirds of the public, more than 60 percent of independents and almost all Republicans and conservatives. It has badly fractured the country, dangerously polarizing it along ideological and racial lines. And yet, the Democrats are about to commit political suicide and vote for this to "save Obama's Presidency."


Obama is willing to sacrifice his Presidency, his party's majority in the House and Senate and most disturbing - OUR CONSTITUTION and America's stability in pursuit of his socialist agenda.

Several states have already said they will sue the Federal Government should Obamacare become law.  They've already passed legislation declaring themselves exempt from the legislation's requirements and by suing the Federal Government they will tie it up in court for years to come.

If the Democrats are dumb enough (and I believe they are) to pass ObamaCare this Sunday using the "Slaughter Rule"  they will have guaranteed that any bill signed by Obama is as illegitimate as his Presidency will be once Republican's re-take the House and Senate in November.

Impeachment anyone?  You bet.  Obama's signing of any bill that subverts Article 1 Section VII of our Constitution is a direct abrogation of his sworn duty to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States of America.  Yes, that is an impeachable offense - assuming we elect representatives this November with a spine to stand up to this marxist bastard


The "Slaughter Rule" violates the entire basis of our Constitutional form of Government, meeting the thresshold of  "high crimes and misdemeanors."  If the Republican Party is smart (and I'm not saying they are ..) they should campaign on the platform of repealing ObamaCare and impeaching and removing Obama from office.

That's the type of social justice I'd endorse.

ObamaCare: Shortcut to Socialism

Canada Free Press
March 15th, 2010

(Excerpted, read entire article at link above)

The official title is the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act,” popularly known as “Obamacare,” passed by the Senate in the wee-hours of Christmas Eve. This 2400-page monstrosity does what no enemy of America has ever been able to do: transform the land of the free into the home of the enslaved.


[...]

When government is paying for health care, government dictates the quantity, quality and price of the care. The costs that are not extracted as premiums or co-pay will be extracted as increased taxes.

When government is paying for health care, there are no choices, there are no options. Every life is subject to whatever requirements the government may choose to impose. Smokers, for example, could be denied certain services – should the government so decide. Overweight people could be denied certain services unless they meet government-imposed weight limits. Seniors could be denied life-extending procedures should the government decide that the cost is greater than the benefit.

Perhaps the worst consequence of Obamacare is the expansion of a culture that depends upon government; that teaches that government can bestow rights, whether to health care, or education, or a living wage, or all the other so-called rights listed in the socialists’ agenda.

Obamacare, if enacted, is indeed a shortcut to socialism.


The "Slaughter Rule" Is The Enabler

Named after House Rules Chairwoman Louise Slaughter, the "Slaughter Rule" would declare that the House of Representatives "deems" the Senate version of Obamacare to have been passed by the House without the House actually voting on the specific bill. House members would only be required to vote on whether to accept the "Slaughter rule," but would then be able to say they only voted for a rule, not for the actual bill itself.

Imagine that, the House of Representatives would pass a bill that completely changes the health care for every single person in this country without actually voting on it.  Talk about shirking their responsibility to the American People to be accountable for the laws they pass!

So what are the Democrats waiting for in passing this Obamanation of a bill?  Guarantees that the Senate will adopt changes from the House of Representatives after the "Slaughter Rule" is adopted.  Once that happens, the CBO (Congressional Budget Office) is required to score changes (the actual costs of the legislation) once passed.

Once the CBO scores are in, Democrats plan on passing the "Slaughter Rule" which requires a simple majority - 51 votes - in the House of Representatives to pass. 
Here's whats happening my friends, the Democrat controlled House of Representatives is conspiring with the Democrate controlled Senate to pass a bill that no one knows the contents or costs of, only revealing that information once the bill passes.
 
A bill that the overwhelming majority of American's do not want I might add.
 
To put this into perspective, would you purchase a car without knowing the make, model or options installed  were? Of course not, yet that is precisely what the Democrat controlled Congress is about to do with your money in "health care reform."
 
This Congress must be stopped by any means necessary.  And I do mean any means necessary.
 
Our own Declaration of Independence says:

"[W]hen a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce [the People] under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."

The Declaration was written against the King "For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent."  Doesn't this health care reform monstrosity do the same?  The Declaration of Independence also declares:

"Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people."

Who are today's tyrants?  Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Barack Obama, and those Democrats (and Republicans that voted for cloture) who enable their Socialist/Fascist agenda in the United States Congress.

Don't Want To Be Forced Into ObamaCare?

We're All Amish Now!

 A little known provision in both the House and Senate versions of ObamaCare is an exemption for the Amish to exempt themselves from the same government mandates and taxes that ObamaCare would impose on the rest of us!

The Amish and several other lesser known religious sects are covered by a "religious conscience" exemption, which allows people with religious objections to insurance to opt out of the mandate.

The exemption is expected to survive reconciliation negotiations between House and Senate managers into the final version that both are expected to vote on sometime this month.

The Amish consist of several branches, some more conservative than others and rely on a community ethic in which families rely upon each other, communities pitch in to help neighbors, and generally disdain government assistance.

Lawmakers included the exception at the urging of Amish groups which have steadily increased in the New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iowa states.  Although the legislation does not explicitly name the Amish as a group that would be considered "exempt" from the law, other groups including Christian Scientists, Orthodox Jews and Scientologists may also be able to claim the exemption.

Marci A. Hamilton, who teaches at the University's Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law, wrote at Findlaw.com in August, "If the government can tolerate a religious exemption, then it must do so evenhandedly among religious believers with the same beliefs. This is sheer favoritism for a certain class of religions, or even for one religion."

Congressional aides said the exemption is based on a carve-out the Amish have had from Social Security and Medicare taxes since the 1960s. Whether Amish businesses, however, would fall under the bill's mandates is still an open question.  Sen. Charles E. Schumer, D-N.Y., who was a key negotiator on the Senate bill, supports the religious exemption.


Editors Note: Freedom of Religion (and excemption from ObamaCare) For Thee, But Not For Me!  What part of "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercize thereof" does this Congress not understand?

Furthermore, what part of Equal Protection under the law (Tenth Amendment) don't these bozo's get?  At every turn, literally every day yet another Constitutional flaw is found in "ObamaCare." 

When this Obamanation gets to the U.S. Supreme Court (and rest assured, it will ....) the Conservatives that dominate the USSC are going to have a field day picking ObamaCare apart due to its numerous violations of the United States Constitution.

The Way To Stop "Health Care Reform" Without Firing A Single Shot

State Nullification: A Fast Growing Movement

The Tenth Amendment Center posted an excellent definition and analysis of State Nullification, which has grown almost exponentially since Barack Hussein Obama seized the White House with a liberal Democrat majority:

When a state ‘nullifies’ a federal law, it is proclaiming that the law in question is void and inoperative, or ‘non-effective,’ within the boundaries of that state; or, in other words, not a law as far as that state is concerned.


It’s peaceful, effective, and has a long history in the American tradition. It’s been invoked in support of free speech, in opposition to war and fugitive slave laws, and more. Read more on this history here.

Regarding nullification and health care, there’s already a growing movement right now. Led by Arizona, voters in a number of states may get a chance to approve State Constitutional Amendments in 2010 that would effectively ban national health care in their states. Our sources here at the Tenth Amendment Center indicate to us that we should expect to see 20-25 states consider such legislation in 2010.

Is State Nullification the way to stop Obamacare?  If we accept the principle that what's happening in D.C. with Democrats "opposing" Obamacare nothing but bread and circuses for the masses, then we'd all best get to work on changing over our State Legislatures to nullify Obamacare and the rest of the Obama agenda.

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?

Democrats Going Nuclear On ObamaCare

Nuclear Option Means Only 51 Votes Required To Pass

Connie Hair
Human Events

House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel (D-N.Y.) held a hearing this morning to certify that H.R. 3200 -- the main House Obamacare bill which was the subject of all the town hall rage in August -- has met all requirements to pass as a “budget reconciliation” measure.

Under reconciliation, the bill can be passed by a simple majority vote in the Senate -- just 51 votes -- and will be given preferential treatment on the House floor as well. The Dems have apparently invoked the “nuclear option” to shut out Republicans and ensure the bill is passed before the end of the year.

The bill certified for “reconciliation” is the Ways & Means version of H.R. 3200 that was passed out of committee before the August break, and before it was read aloud at town hall meetings across the country and blasted by voters across the country.

It contains all of the horrors previously exposed: federal funding of abortion, coverage for illegal aliens, comparative effectiveness, healthcare rationing, deep cuts to Medicare. Everything the American people overwhelmingly reject.

No amendments were allowed at the hearing and no debate. Rangel told Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the committee, that he would not have preferred to do it this way, but leadership -- i.e., Speaker Pelosi -- forced his hand.

While the media cameras are focused on Harry Reid’s office door, the House of Representatives has made it possible for H.R. 3200 to pass the Senate with 51 votes. It is still possible that Senator Reid won’t choose to use reconciliation in the Senate, but the odds against it are infinitesimal.

Since it has now cleared the Ways and Means Committee (fulfilling the $1 billion reconciliation requirement), H.R. 3200 will go to the Budget Committee where they will do the same thing that was done today in Ways & Means. They will agree that the bill has met the reconciliation requirements on a straight party line vote.

The bill then goes to Pelosi and the Rules Committee where Pelosi will do the same thing Reid is doing right now: merge the three House versions of H.R. 3200 together into whatever she wants it to be, then she will schedule it for a floor vote.

H.R. 3200 could see a floor vote in the next two weeks, or the first week of November. If it passes, the House it goes to the Senate and can pass there with 51 votes.
