How can he in good consciousness lie to my face like this. It so pisses me off. Does obama think we are idiots? I hate liars. Is probably why I hate this presidency. I can no longer in good faith believe anything he tells me.

Today obama held an infomercial to sell his socialism. At about 48secs obama states, I have not said I was a single-payer supporter (health care insurance).


YouTube - Obama on Single Payer

But he did. A couple secs into this next vid, he admits it.


YouTube - Obama on single payer health insurance

AND that's not the only time he advocated a single payer plan. In March 2007, he addressed the Service Employees International Union Health Care Forum.

There's going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out.
Pathetic.

Because most people don't do research to find out any details or go digging for background information. They take politicians at their word; especially President Obama.

I'll bet very few in that audience questioned that statement.

He is not NOW a single payer supporter. I agree with those who say when congress comes back in september ;we are going to see them looking at entirely different plans from what is proposed now as support continues to drop.

Of course not. He was for it before he was against it. Or was he against it before he voted for it. SO why doesn't he just calm the fears of the American people and say what you thing he believes - or do you have some sort of psychic connection to the President that allows you to channel his secret thoughts?

Did Obama have a brain transplant between then and now?

Actually, scratch that. He claims he studied Constitutional Law. Based on what he's doing now, he must've had a brain transplant.

You miss the point that 0bama just told a huge lie, but then that is to be expected when people are always rushing to cover up and excuse away the distortions and lies told by 0bama.

We have him on tape stating "I happen to be a proponent of single payer universal health plan." Its clear from the above video that "single payer" "universal health care" and even "basic health insurance to everybody" are all one in the same thing to 0bama.

The only reason he had to come out and redefine what "single payer" was because of those videos that came out, and all he has done is made a fool out of himself, and once again tried to treat the American people as just too stupid to get it.

Yeah, he didn't say those exact words, but I think he is being misleading with that one.

But hey, he is a politician, what did you expect?
