Obama’s Army Takes To The Airwaves

Organizing For America, in alliance with the Democratic National Committee, is about to become even more annoying than usual.

The latest plan to promote a message that no one wants to listen to is to have OFA members call-in to conservative talk radio shows and try and discuss health care reform.

The DNC was smart enough to realize that your average member of Organizing For America is not intellectually equipped to match wits with a Sean Hannity or Rush Limbaugh, so they have prepared a list of tips and talking points.

However, with typical liberal stupidity, the script does leave out one major point.

And that is how should one of the members of the Kool-Aid Brigade respond when someone such as Glenn Beck asks them their thoughts on the fact that the majority of American’s don’t want Obamacare?

States Seeking to Ban Mandatory Health Insurance

34 states have read the Tenth Amendment, and decided that Obamacare is un-Constitutional.

Although President Barack Obama’s push for a health care overhaul has stalled, conservative lawmakers in about half the states are forging ahead with constitutional amendments to ban government health insurance mandates.

The proposals would assert a state-based right for people to pay medical bills from their own pocketbooks and prohibit penalties against those who refuse to carry health insurance.

In many states, the proposals began as a backlash to Democratic health care plans pending in Congress. But instead of backing away after a Massachusetts election gave Senate Republicans the filibuster power to halt the health care legislation, many state lawmakers are ramping up their efforts with a new enthusiasm.

The moves reflect the continued political potency of the issue for conservatives, who have used it extensively for fundraising and attracting new supportersThe legal impact of any state measures may be questionable because courts generally have held that federal laws trump those in states.

Lawmakers in 34 states now have filed or proposed amendments to their state constitutions or statutes rejecting health insurance mandates, according to the American Legislative Exchange Council, a nonprofit group that promotes limited government that is helping coordinate the efforts. Many of those proposals are targeted for the November ballot, assuring that health care remains a hot topic as hundreds of federal and state lawmakers face reelection.

Americans Are Too Stupid To Understand Obama

I’m glad that the New York Times cleared this up for me.
Here I’ve been thinking that health care reform, cap and trade and stimulus packages were just bad ideas.

Health Care In Portland Covers Sex Change Operations

I may have to go back and read President Obama’s health care reform bill because I don’t remember seeing sex change operations covered under Obamacare.
You would think that Barney Frank would have made sure that part was included.
Or deducted, as the case may be.

The city of Portland wants to expand its medical coverage for employees who want to get a sex change, a move that will cost $108,000 a year.

According to Mayor Sam Adam’s spokesman, Roy Kaufmann, the city would pay 95 percent of the cost for the procedure and leave the remaining five percent for employees to pay out of pocket.

He said it would cover a lifetime benefit of $75,000 for each employee who gets gender reassignment surgery. Employees covered under the city’s core plan would pay about $20 a year more in premiums.

It’s an effort to provide equal benefits to city workers, Kaufmann said.

Democrats Cave In, Will Seat Scott Brown

It’s time for Teddy’s seat warmer to fing a new place to sit.

Sen.-elect Scott Brown of Massachusetts on Wednesday demanded to be seated immediately, saying that while he was set to be sworn in Feb. 11, there are a number of votes scheduled prior to that date — votes that, once he is seated, Republicans can defeat.

Democrats, seeking to avoid a prolonged battle over seating a duly elected senator, quickly assented.

In a letter from Mr. Brown’s attorney to Gov. Deval Patrick and Secretary of the Commonwealth William Galvin — both Democrats — Mr. Brown argued that the results of the special election in Massachusetts on Jan. 19 are not in doubt. While Senator-elect Brown had tentatively planned to be sworn into office February 11, he has been advised that there are a number of votes scheduled prior to that date, For that reason, he wants certification to occur immediately, wrote his attorney, Daniel B. Winslow. As he is the duly elected United States Senator from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, he is entitled to be seated now.

The lawyer asked that the results of the Jan. 19 special election be certified without delay and no later than 11 a.m. Thursday, in time to allow Senator-elect Brown to be administered the oath of office by the Vice President tomorrow afternoon. Hours before Mr. Brown’s demand, Mr. Galvin delivered official copies of the election results to the Governor’s Council. Mr. Patrick’s staff announced that the governor would sign Mr. Brown’s election certificate in the council’s presence — as is required by law — during a ceremony at 9:30 a.m. Thursday.

Another Health Care System Failure

Note to President Obama:
We know that you want to pattern American health care after the model used in Europe.
Please don’t use this country’s “experienced” doctors as an example.
This is the sort of thing we could expect under Obamacare.
Although charging a jar of honey as a fee for saving someones life seems pretty reasonable.

A Polish beekeeper pronounced dead after he suffered a suspected heart attack was about to be sealed up in a coffin when a funeral director miraculously discovered a faint pulse.

Jozef Guzy collapsed as he started work among his beloved hives near the southern city of Katowice.

An ambulance was called and an experienced doctor declared that the 76-year-old had died.

Jerzy Wisniewski, a spokesman for the Regional Ambulance Service in Katowice, said: ‘The patient was not breathing, there was no heart beat, the body had cooled – all are the characteristics of death.

Three hours later, an undertaker arrived to take Mr Guzy’s body away.

Virginia’s Democrat-Controlled Senate Rejects Obamacare

Upon hearing this, Nancy Pelosu is probably choking on her Botox.
I wonder if she would dare to call Democrat legislators from Virginia Nazis or racists because the had the gall to disagree with President Obama.

Yesterday the U.S. Constitution and federalism won a key battle. The Virginia Senate, which has a Democrat Majority, passed a bill prohibiting a requirement for Virginians to purchase health-care insurance. Five Democrats from swing districts joined all of the Senate Republicans in voting in favor of the measure. And with a Republican State House and Governor, this bill is expected to make it into law.

Some would argue that the legislative implications are negligible as the federal government, if it wants, can override state law and that an individual mandate could be authored in such a way to not run afoul of this Virginian measure. However, the practical implications of this effort are widespread. What are these?

Another American Health Care System Failure

NOT!

If the American health care system ranks below thirty other countries, as one of our commenters recently claimed, why is Danny Williams, the Canadian Premier of Newfoundland, coming to America later this week for heart surgery?

Why isn’t he traveling to Michael Moore’s idea of health-care utopia, Cuba?

Then again, when Moore made propaganda piece “Sicko”, he neglected to mention that when Fidel Castro needed surgery, he went to Spain.

States Invoking Sovereignty Spells Big Trouble For Obama

Relying on the 10th Amendment as a means of opting-out of President Obama’s health care reform package probably would not work.
Yet the Obama administration continues to ignore the fact that the majority of Americans do not want the government running every aspect of health care.
What will it take for President Obama to start listening to the wishes of the  American people?
You would think that 34 states proposing amendments to their state constitutions as a means of banning federal health insurance mandates would be sending a loud and clear message about Obamacare.

Although President Barack Obama’s push for a health care overhaul has stalled, conservative lawmakers in about half the states are forging ahead with constitutional amendments to ban government health insurance mandates.

The proposals would assert a state-based right for people to pay medical bills from their own pocketbooks and prohibit penalties against those who refuse to carry health insurance.

President Obama Calls For An End To Perpetual Campaigns. Except His Own Of Course

President Barack Obama speaking during his State Of The Union Address:

“What frustrates the American people is a Washington where every day is Election Day. We can’t wage a perpetual campaign.”

Sounds like a call for the end to partisan politics.
Perhaps brought on by Scott Brown’s recent victory in Massachusetts, which to anyone besides the most egotistical man to ever occupy the White House, is that the Republicans, nor the Democrats for that matter, are not really currently running a political campaign.

The American people are running a political campaign.

They are campaigning for conservatives, and against liberals, as a means to voicing their opposition to the Obama administration’s never ending push to ram healthcare “reform” down our throats, in spite of overwhelming public opposition to Obamacare.

And of course there are a few other minor details that are causing this campaign that’s not a campaign, such as Obama’s out of control spending, unemployment figures, and the general state of the American economy.

So what answer does President Obama come up with to change Washington from running a “perpetual campaign?”

The answer lies within this picture:

Mere minutes after the President finished delivering his State Of The Union message, the members of Obama’s Army, otherwise known as Organizing For America, sent out the following mass e-mail on the President’s behalf:

“I just finished delivering my State Of The Union address. I set out an urgent plan for restoring economic security for struggling middle-class families.”
“Help fuel our fight for the middle class with a monthly donation of $15 or more.”

So a few minutes after Obama saying that we must put an end to every day being seen in washington as Election Day, what does the part of Obama’s campaign team known as Organizing For America do?

Sends out an e-mail to millions of supporters, many of whom are the same middle-class families the President spoke of, soliciting campaign contributions!

News flash Mr. President: The election that you ran in is over, and you won!!

Isn’t it about time you stopped asking for money?
