Obama's speach last night

No I didn't watch it live. I have been watching it on youtube and reading the transcript. I am disgusted. So I'll fisk it here. This will take some time. I know I'm not the first and will most likely not beeven close tot he best but I'll give it a shot. No holding back today though. Both barrels at the same time. So Obama supporters if you get angry then turn that anger in to PROVING me wrong. I will not insult or provide any bullshit. but PROVE me wrong with facts. Not emotions or feeling. Just the facts mam...

"When I spoke here last winter, this nation was facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We were losing an average of 700,000 jobs per month. Credit was frozen. And our financial system was on the verge of collapse. When I spoke here last winter, this nation was facing the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We were losing an average of 700,000 jobs per month. Credit was frozen. And our financial system was on the verge of collapse. "

Well I am sure glad THAT'S over!!! Oh....Wait it's worse now then before. Not only are American jobs dropping like flies. Small business are closing, those with jobs are having hours cut back. The so called Stimulis package rammed down our throats has dome nothing to stumulate anything except goverment jobs and waste money. On the bright side the Obama administration has made the Guiness Book of World records. The most money spent at a single time, the most money spent by a single president within 3 years in to his term, most money spent at a single time with nothing to show for it.

"As any American who is still looking for work or a way to pay their bills will tell you, we are by no means out of the woods. A full and vibrant recovery is still many months away. And I will not let up until those Americans who seek jobs can find them -- (applause) -- until those businesses that seek capital and credit can thrive; until all responsible homeowners can stay in their homes. That is our ultimate goal. But thanks to the bold and decisive action we've taken since January, I can stand here with confidence and say that we have pulled this economy back from the brink. (Applause.)"

Ummmmmmm What bold decisions Mr President? Waste of money, ramming crap down our throats that a very clear majority of the American people don't want? A clearer majority than with which you were elected? Remember Mr. President you were elected to represent the People of the United States of America. Not just the people who elected you. OH wait many of them are turning against you. No suprise there is there?

Remember Mr. President you accused Bush of too much spending. You accused Bush of throwing money away for useless projects? I ask you Mr. President where are those "shovel ready" projects you and your shadow Binden bragged about? Yah thought so.

"I want to thank the members of this body for your efforts and your support in these last several months, and especially those who've taken the difficult votes that have put us on a path to recovery. I also want to thank the American people for their patience and resolve during this trying time for our nation. "

Patience? People are out in the streets protesting your destructive ideas and ideals. They are angry and more pissed off with your bullshit. Haven't you been advised of this? OH wait members of your party would rather insult them or ignore them. Forgot about that. Sorry my bad.

"I am not the first President to take up this cause, but I am determined to be the last. (Applause.) It has now been nearly a century since Theodore Roosevelt first called for health care reform. And ever since, nearly every President and Congress, whether Democrat or Republican, has attempted to meet this challenge in some way. A bill for comprehensive health reform was first introduced by John Dingell Sr. in 1943. Sixty-five years later, his son continues to introduce that same bill at the beginning of each session. (Applause.)"

OH please! Roosevelt was no more the man who ended the depression as I was. He was a closet socialist and a moron. What he did, more importanlty what he tried to do was against the constitution. Didn't you learn about the US constitution in that school in Indonesia? How about in law school? Wasn't that little document discussed? I guess not as seen by your take over of American banks, GM and your attempt to take over the American health insurance industry.

Shall I get in to term limits? Wait I don't need to as that was one of your promises from 2008 wasn't it? Can you say fail? I knew ya could Mr. President.

"We are the only democracy -- the only advanced democracy on Earth -- the only wealthy nation -- that allows such hardship for millions of its people. There are now more than 30 million American citizens who cannot get coverage. In just a two-year period, one in every three Americans goes without health care coverage at some point. And every day, 14,000 Americans lose their coverage. In other words, it can happen to anyone. "

Why do democrats and left wing loons feel the need to be like the rest of the world? Look at the system in the UK and Canada. People are dying waiting for treatment. Just this week a baby died 2 hours after birth in the UK becasue it's gainst policy to deny treatment to premature born babies! Mr. President is THAT what you want for our nation?

Can you tell me Mr. President why some many people from England and Canada come to the US for treatment for problems that are against policy in thier home country or where they have been waiting for months sometimes even years? Please Mr. President what is soooooooo wonderful about that?

"But the problem that plagues the health care system is not just a problem for the uninsured. Those who do have insurance have never had less security and stability than they do today. More and more Americans worry that if you move, lose your job, or change your job, you'll lose your health insurance too. More and more Americans pay their premiums, only to discover that their insurance company has dropped their coverage when they get sick, or won't pay the full cost of care. It happens every day. "

Facts Mr. President. You know those things that are not emotions or feelings. Facts. Provide some. Would be nice for a change.

"One man from Illinois lost his coverage in the middle of chemotherapy because his insurer found that he hadn't reported gallstones that he didn't even know about. They delayed his treatment, and he died because of it. Another woman from Texas was about to get a double mastectomy when her insurance company canceled her policy because she forgot to declare a case of acne. By the time she had her insurance reinstated, her breast cancer had more than doubled in size. That is heart-breaking, it is wrong, and no one should be treated that way in the United States of America. "

OK good try. The man from Illinois I'm willing to bet that in his policy that he signed, he was required to get a full check-up every year. My German policy says so. I get one every 6 months. He went against his policy. Maybe read the document before signing it?

How about the man in London last year. I'm sure your advisors told you about this case. A man who served The Queen in WWII honorably. He was aworded a number of medals for bravery. His wife needed hip replacement surgery. Under the English health plan (much like the one you propose for the US) She was on a waiting list, living with extrweme pain for 9 months. Her husband sold his medals to buy a plane ticket to the US and paid for the surgery so that his wife could live without pain. THAT Mr. President is heart breaking! Not only that it is DISGUSTING!

"Then there's the problem of rising cost. We spend one and a half times more per person on health care than any other country, but we aren't any healthier for it. This is one of the reasons that insurance premiums have gone up three times faster than wages..."

No Mr. President lawyers like yourself and John Edwards, as well as many many others, who sue a doctor faster than you can look. That doctor has to turn around and pay out the ass for malpractice insurance , which in turn he has to recover somehow. Glass house Mr. President. Don't forget.

"Finally, our health care system is placing an unsustainable burden on taxpayers. When health care costs grow at the rate they have, it puts greater pressure on programs like Medicare and Medicaid. If we do nothing to slow these skyrocketing costs, we will eventually be spending more on Medicare and Medicaid than every other government program combined. Put simply, our health care problem is our deficit problem. Nothing else even comes close. Nothing else."

Ever hear of the baby boomer generation Mr. President? It appears you haven't. Those born in the late 40's to early 50's are getting older. They require much more medical care than say a 20 year old. Just ask your mother. She was born during that time. Look at her medical bills then look at yours. See a difference? Yes the system is broke but what you are demanding will break the country fininacially.

"There are those on the left who believe that the only way to fix the system is through a single-payer system like Canada's"

BLIVIT! Or for you civilians 10 pounds of bullshit in a 5 pound bag. Why are so many people from Canada coming across the boarder to get treatment if thier system is soooooooo perfect? Care to answer that Mr. President? I thought not.

You want power. Pure and simple. You want to enforce your opinions and your parties will on us. Nothing more. Look at all the welfare systems across the nation. Not a single one provide for education for a recipiant to get a better job. No just throw money at the problem and hope it goes away. Just like this problem we have on the table now. That has never, nor will it ever work.

THAT is the biggest difference between the left and right that exists. the right see a problem and want to fix the problem. The left want to fix it also but those of us on the right will work to FIX the problem. The left will just throw money at it and hoep it goes away.

"where we would severely restrict the private insurance market and have the government provide coverage for everybody. On the right, there are those who argue that we should end employer-based systems and leave individuals to buy health insurance on their own. "

Here he comes right out and says it. He want to regulate the free market. And the constitution takes another hit. Is this the "change" you promised? Is this your image of America? Mr. President please stop the crap. Stop piling debt apon debt on out country.

"But what we've also seen in these last months is the same partisan spectacle that only hardens the disdain many Americans have towards their own government. Instead of honest debate, we've seen scare tactics. Some have dug into unyielding ideological camps that offer no hope of compromise. Too many have used this as an opportunity to score short-term political points, even if it robs the country of our opportunity to solve a long-term challenge. And out of this blizzard of charges and counter-charges, confusion has reigned. "

Yet more insults. Yet more bullshit with nothing to back it. Scare tactics Mr. President? What about your union thugs that brutility attacked a man for his opinion. What about one of your supporters that BIT OFF THE FINGER of another man becasue of his opinion? You are full of shit Mr. President.

Mr. President if you wanted honest debate why have you not talked to Republicans in the House and Senate since April? If you really wanted to sit down and talk why are you ramming this through congress so fast?

Cahs for Clunkers German style

Since the begining of 2009 the German government was offering €2500 for your old car in connection with buying a new one. Sounds sweet don't it? On the surface it does. But I like to dig. I have a brand new shovel and I'm itching to use it.

This program, be it in the USA or Germany was reckless and stupid for everyone all around. Here's why:

• Less "older" cars on the roads mean less cheaper cars for lower income people to buy. A damn good example is a friend of mine has a daughter. She just turned 18 and is ready to get her license. Now my friend wants to buy her a car but just can't see spending more than €500 for a car that is most likely to get trashed within the first year. He is having a damn hard time finding a safe decient car for €500 for his daughter.
• Mechanic shops. Wierd but a major backlash of getting so many older cars off the road and replacing them with new cars hurts mechanics and thier livelyhood. Less cars to fix means less money in thier pockets meaning less people he can hire. More unemployment.
• Along those lines cars that were "sold" in to the program had to be scrapped. Including the parts. That means junk yards are getting fewer used parts and that drives up the price.
• Large strain on fixed incomes. Suddendly people who baught into the lie of €2500 for thier old car are shelling out a lot of money every month for a new car. Money that will not be spent on other things that help the economy in the longer run.
• Before the programs went in to effect the car market was a buyers dream. there was a lot of room to haggel over a price. Suddendly the market dried up and prices have gone back up. The market was over flowing with new cars and dealerships were itching to sell those cars. I talked to a dealership in early Janurary and I could have bought a new VW Golf. Normal price for the model and packageI was looking at was €32,000. I had the mad down to €20,000 and he was throwing in new summer tired on top! That same car today I would have no chance at all to talk the dealer down.
• In the US most cars that were turned in were American cars. A full 80% of the cars bought were made in Japan and Korea! The US stimulated the Asian car market! I am sure the Japanese and Koreans are happy about that and are hoping for more. Change we can believe in Mr President?
• Lastly in the US not many people realized that the $4500 they got out of that program is taxable as income. SUPRISE SUPRISE SUPRISE! You paid part of that "free" money you got! and Will be paying for the next 30 years.

So basicly no one with any sense in thier heads was asked if these programs were good for anything.

In the US Obama had his speach about health care. He openly lied about many things and stretched some figures on others. If the cash for clunkers programs are any indication of government run anything please leave me out of it.
