Obama on Bill Cinton and Universal Health Care

[erato99]

Universal health care will:

· likely cost taxpayers more than the projected $1.7 trillion, as is what occurred with Medicare and Medicaid;

· cause employers to pay their employees less money in order to finance the mandated coverage;

· be contradictory to itself, as evidenced by the 30,000 people being cut from Massachusetts universal coverage plan due to budget deficits;

· cause reduced health care quality when rationing becomes the means for lowering costs.

"The Obama plan would leave a third of those currently uninsured lacking coverage."

-Washington Post 6/9/07

"Outside experts agree that Mr. Obama's plan would leave 15 million people without insurance."

-Wall Street Journal, 12/04/07

"Over all, the Obama-type plan would cost $4,400 per newly insured person, the Clinton-type plan only $2,700."

-New York Times, 02/04/08

What country starts from scratch, Obama? Meridth backed you into a corner, and you couldn't get out. ha!

[almahruf]

I am NOT A ANTI America jst wanna make that clear, plus wots wrong with NHS like we have at Uk, i do understand some have been brought up to hate socialism but its pretty similar to democracy apart from the leader structure but the intension are same of helping everyone.

[DCUPtoejuice]

America is a free market society for the most part, although less and less with time. People making choices on their own creates the most wealth and prosperity. Read Wealth of Nations and you'll understand why a free people has major objections to government taking over anything that isn't absolutely necessary.

[rumble77]

[almahruf]

incompetence news reporting. news company is so bias! wot a bitch!

[carameldelight87]

Don't be fooled by those short clips, if you listen to the entire speech or at least the complete sentences you'll see the context in which those comments are made.

[jester1289]

Way to go obama, your an idiot. And this clip just proved that you cant decide a damn thing. Go Hillary.

[jvent68]

jester< take the dick out of your mouth, OH I mean Monica's mouth...

[waw1212]

Sound bites... SOUND BITES

Did you see both debate/speech in their entirety or are you only judging this by Sound Bites?

He has been consistent on laying out a plans. Hillary hasn't been consistent at all.

She says we need to avoid confrontation with Iran and pull troops out of Iraq and she votes to name the Iranian Royal Guard a terrorist organization. Is that consistent?

[JadeChaos]

You're right waw1212... the media has always done this shite. Embarrassing and is why I don't watch their opinionated shows. Just give the facts and keep the opinions out of the reporting.

[12u34me]

at :55 he says how the president will solve their problems. the president is not supposed to solve your problems. that would be socailism.

[waw1212]

so in your opinion, what is the president supposed to do?

[firenze419]

Boy there are a lot of people here who can't tell the difference between Bill and Hillary Clinton.

Funny that.

Princesse Jen, absolutely correct

Obama's as clean as a dirt floor.

Or maybe just sad.

[waw1212]

And how is that? You only rely on simple sound bites to pass a judgment you have issues.

Now if you have other reasons for saying so, then please, elaborate.

[PrincesseJen]

Everybody like to talk about Hillary but when Obama is caugh in something they don't want to acknowlege it. He was CAUGHT lying!! And apparently he has selective memory as well as selective hearing.

[waw1212]

Hillary starts crying and everybody sees her as a human. She has Bill on a leash to attack Barack to save her own face. So she still gets in all the attacks but can deny all of them.

You know why Bill does all that for her? It isn't because he believes in Hill, it's because she has him by the testies after the whole Monica problem.

[PrincesseJen]

May I remind you that win Bill was running for president he ran it as a "co-presidency". "Two for the price of one" was a popular slogan back then and it help him win the elecion with woman votes. He believes in her as well as returning the favor.

[waw1212]

So we get two economy wreckers for the price of one? That's helpful.

Do you know how hard they pushed NAFTA through? Now we are screwed. And its a policy that was started by Papa Bush

[b1ueocean]

Bill Clinton "I tried it but I didn't inhale", "Read my lips, I did not have sexual relations"...

Clinton supporters support the WAR, persistent lies and a future they SIMPLY CANNOT BELIEVE IN.

This is a scary time.

[PrincesseJen]

I think your confusing Clinton supporters with crazy Republicans who support the war. Hillary only voted for it (and she was NOT the ONLY who did) because of the information that was given. Now we find out Bush gave misinformation to start the war in the first place.

[carl1223]

fuck you princess jen. go back to the hilary clinton boards on imdb where you belong

[Muddas05]

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wuburmenz]

he is full of crap

[Jigaton]

Who, Bill? You can't possibly think Obama is less truthful then the man who looked in our eyes and lied to us all several times within his 8 year rein.

[themightylex]

No he isn't. i watched the full clip from the Clinton Campaign. I've also seen the footage they used to make it. Obama has said that he is a proponent of single payer healthcare (a great idea), but has decided to try and work with the employer based system we have been using for years. He's a thinking man, so it's not possible to reduce him to sound bites as the media and smear campaigns like to do.

[spittyfire3]

Amen! I couldn't agree with you more!!!
