"We will CURE CANCER!" : Obama | Address To Congress - " State Of The Union " | FEB 2009

The President reveals his bold plans for better health care ! --- $ $ $ --- |

In his first address to a joint session of Congress, President Obama told the American people that the "day of reckoning" has arrived for the nation's economy, which he pledged to not just fix but make stronger than it was before the current crisis.

"Now is the time to act boldly and wisely -- to not only revive this economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting prosperity," the president said in his televised prime-time address.

Obama was greeted with thunderous applause in the House chamber, as lawmakers reached out to try and get a handshake or, in some cases, a kiss as the president made his way down the narrow aisle to the podium.

Obama is enjoying a 68 percent approval rating after his first month in office, according to the latest ABC News-Washington Post poll, and his pledge to reverse the nation's economic woes earned him an early standing ovation from both Democrats and Republicans.

"While our economy may be weakened and our confidence shaken; though we are living through difficult and uncertain times, tonight I want every American to know this: We will rebuild, we will recover, and the United States of America will emerge stronger than before," Obama said.

Obama laid out proposals in energy, health care and education policy that he said would help everyday Americans struggling with rising costs and would be long-term investments toward economic recovery.

Electronic health records will insure privacy? Yeah right. The title of the video begins, "We will CURE CANCER!" - We can start the cure by giving Washington chemo. The cancers in Washington are eating all of us alive.

Im no expert, but someone tell me, are we being forced to buy something? If we never buy health insurance, will we be penalized? Or isnt it just like medicare part B and part D, where we would only be penalized if and when one day we do purchase the insurance? The penalty is only imposed if we decide at some later point to sign up. And the longer we wait, the steeper the penalty.

Ah yes, the glory days Obamacare 1000 waivers later, not looking like a good dea.

@kimberly3d actually he is one of the few presidents who I believe can. Nick Clegg hasn't got it in him and Cameron remains to be seen...but he did own up that multicultralism has failed so maybe...

[DRboyzzRsosexi]

hes the bad guy ombam bad hee evil WAKE UP PEOPLE!!!!! NEW WORLD ORDER

[Casshan1983]

there is already a cure for cancer.the problem is, the people who really control this government and the rest of the world (bilderberg group) is just going to keep it for themselves. My problem with this bill is that it is being pushed on the people by force and there is 300 pages missing from it . and there new puppet administration is going to war to put this bill in effect.

[kimberly3d]

You can talk the talk Obama, but can you walk the walk?

[TheCityBoy310]

Not one thing he has talked about the last two times has happened... HE HAD TWO YEARS IN A DEMO-CONTROLLED CONGRESS and all he did was shove new health-care legislation down our throats! NEVER before has ANY American EVER been forced to buy something by our government... THAT'S WHY WE ARE AMERICANS!!! Just say NO to Socialism! Just say NO to CONTROL! It's "We The People..." not "we the government! " stupid!

[Faeronious]

Communist language? Wat-to-go breaking the mold of the ignorant conservative.
