For "goodganews": Documentation for my remarks (below) include: #1) The Capps-Waxman Amendment to the Obama-backed House bill (HR 3200); #2) Referring to abortion under the umbrella term "reproductive health", Obama promised abortion funding in his public option (YouTube:"Obama promises abortion in public plan"); and #3) 7-18-07 Chicago Tribune report, "Democrats Pledge Support for Wide Access to Abortion", confirms what I said about Obama's vision of "reproductive health" in his public option.

So an article from over two years ago and your assumption that "reproductive health" means abortion is all you got? Nice try.

2:57 "(Some are tryining to) mislead the American people." Obama is one of the "some". I.e., he untruthfully told the American people that his health plan will not require federal funding of elective abortions. In fact, his plan authorizes his Administration to pay for all abortions under his "public option". Anyone enroll in that plan would be forced to pay on abortion coverage. Abortionists would then send their bills in (for abortion) and be paid out of a federal (i.e. public) funds account.

Well Kweer, I think you're mistaken. That's not what any of the five bills under consideration in the Senate or the House.

The abortion issue is another issue that the Elite likes to rally the troops - too often by mis-representing the facts.

[goodganews]

I agree.

Now what has Obama done, or said, that would lead anyone to think he's the next Hitler?

I've asked this question to numerous right-wingers convinced Obama is Communist/Nazi and I've yet to get a single response detailing anything he's actually done that would make anyone believe he's a Nazi.

Why can't people just disagree with the president, provide a valid counter-argument/policy direction and not resort to outrageous claims of Nazism.

[goodganews]

Calling someone a Nazi, even a politician, is pathetic. There's not a single shred of evidence that Obama wants "nationalize just about everything."

[goodganews]

You're a fool.

At 2:40 for about a minute, replace they & they're with I & I am.

[pjdritchie]

"bogus" coming out of a president's mouth is long overdue!

You may as well be talking to the air kweer58. Democrats and liberals in particular could care less about FACTS. Only talking points. Americans aren't buying though and change is coming. Hang in there. He only has congressional advantage for another year and a few months. Then he becomes not only Lame but a Lame Duck as well. And he knows it. That is why everything has to be done immediately with no debate. He knows he has been exposed and his days are numbered.

[ChildOfHumanity]

Senate finance bill passed with democratic and republican support? How about A REPUBLICAN who by all records is as liberal and most moderate democrates. But why let facts interefere with you talking points.

Maybe less time attacking anyone that disagrees with you and get busy sending the troops needed to do the job in Afghanistan. But you don't have time for that. So what if American soldiers are dying while you play with your putz in Washington? You're a discrace and a coward to boot!
