Posts about Obama Health Care Failure as of July 10, 2009

George RebaneWell, the ARRA – aka SP787 – stimulus is performing sorta like history predicts (cf. FDR’s alphabet soup programs during the 1930s) – late, expensive, and ineffective.  Now, after launching TARP(SP700) and SP787, they’re starting to talk about “stimulus two”.  What again was that definition of insanity?

Via My Bossier , Congressman Fleming has proposed a Resolution which states that members of Congress must also participate in whatever health care plan they choose for the rest of us: Under the current draft of the Democrat healthcare legislation, members of Congress are curiously exempt from the government-run health care option, keeping their existing health plans and services on Capitol Hill. If Members of Congress believe so strongly that government-run health care is the best solution for hard working American families, I think it only fitting that Americans see them lead the way.

My niece, April, said one of the cutest and from-the-mouths-of-babes things when she was about 3 or 4. I’ll never forget it. My sister was scolding her for saying something, and she looked up, innocent as the dew on a daisy, and said, “Get out of my mind.” Well, that’s what I have to say to ABC News… Drudge, I suppose, made this photo from the recent G8 famous: It appears the Obama Administration sent out an emergency appeal to ABC – the network that graciously provided broadcast airtime for the Obamacare Infomercial – to do something.

A new Rasmussen poll is out , an one that should be giving the Democratic party reason to be nervous. Republicans are now the party that voters trust on 8 out of 10 issues, and they’re quickly gaining on the other two. Voters now trust Republicans more than Democrats on eight out of 10 key electoral issues, including, for the second straight month, the top issue of the economy. They’ve also narrowed the gap on the remaining two issues, the traditionally Democratic strong suits of health care and education.

This Time, It’s for Real. By Jerry Bowyer , NRO Financial “Official” Unemployment Rate ThoughtRogue : For a real eye-opener, see the real unemployment statistics at ShadowStats.com .  The numbers in the chart above reflect only the amount of applications for Unemployment benefits.  The actual rate of all people out of work is over 20% – and continues to rise! BuzzCharts spent much of 2003, 2004, and 2005 rebutting the media mantra that the U.S.

Paul Krugman is upset with Barack Obama. So much so that he’s gone there and compared him to President Bush : [T]here’s a difference between defending what you’ve done so far and being defensive. It was disturbing when President Obama walked back Mr. Biden’s admission that the administration “misread” the economy, declaring that “there’s nothing we would have done differently.” There was a whiff of the Bush infallibility complex in that remark, a hint that the current administration might share some of its predecessor’s inability to admit mistakes.

The problem with the ObamaCare was evident yesterday at the Raleigh Counter-Protest Rally … those who support ObamaCare don’t know what they are actually supporting.  They put all of their hopes and fairy-tale dreams into some idea of easy, free, “universal” health coverage where medicine tastes like lollipops and doctors are at your beck and call… where you never have to sit in the waiting room, and even your botox injection is free.
