Obama Heads to Camp David - To Prepare for Major Crucial Speech on Healthcare Reform Coming Up Next Week? »
Posted By WikiMap 2 months, 3 weeks ago in NewsPresident Barack Obama is headed to Camp David for the long holiday weekend, but it will probably not be all about relaxation and recreation at summer’s official end. Next Wednesday he is due to appear before a joint session of Congress to deliver what may be a crucial speech about his proposed healthcare reforms, so it is a safe bet that much of his time will be spent preparing that.

They haven't loaded the wording onto the teleprompter yet so he can't discuss anything until his puppeteers let him take a peek.This being the so called eleventh hour,he has to get it right.There has been so much leftist garbled garbage in the last month,that he must go through,and then his staff must peruse the Manifesto to find tidbits of things to satify Americas haters,after all as long as they can bear to live here,they must be considered.

He certainly seems to be spending alot of time away from the White House. I recall our last President getting alot of grief from the press about that same exact thing! I don't recall hearing any complaints from the press about Obama spending too much time away from the White House. Could this perhaps be the ugly double standard yet again?

As for what he will have to say next week, what does it matter? It is all going to be lies anyway. He cannot tell the truth about "his" plans for healthcare reform. If he were to tell the truth, it would without question fail. The only way that he can convince the public that this is a good idea is to be deceitful. He knows this. He is following Alinsky to the T on this one. Those people who believe what the Liar in Chief has to say are going to believe whatever comes from his mouth, regardless of the consequences. Those of us who see through the smoke and mirrors of this collossal scheme will continue to call him on it.-

I guess you didn't notice that much of the time spent away from the Whitehouse is his travel to meet with many leaders of the world to restrengthen ties to those who were dissed by the last administration.
As fir Bush, he holds the record for being away from the Whitehouse and ON VACATION.
I guess they don't mention that on FUX News or on Limbaugh's FUX America talk show. -

Adolf Hitler was the Head of the German National Socialist Party that destroyed Germany....
Is it fair to say, President Obama is acting the same way as Hitler???-

Hitler was a fascist that shared much of the "values" of the current WINGNUTS.
Apparently you are somewhat to the right of Adolph, but have adopted his technique of the big lie.

When I graduated in 1963 there were 190 million persons living in this country, there are now almost 304 million. The legal immigration levels are 850,000 a year. How many doctors, nurses, hospitals, etc. have we increased in this time period? Congress operates in a vacuum and does not see the whole picture. When they started to lower tariffs in column one in the tariff schedules and then created the middle "freebie" trade column they stuck the proverbial knife into the backs of the middle class. There is no reason for business to stay in the US and pay union wages, local, state and federal taxes, medical plans, retirement plans, environmental costs, sick pay, holiday pay, leave pay when they can move two miles across the border into MX and bring back their goods to the same market free of duty while paying Mexicans low wages and using cheap truckers wages. China has received three million of our jobs (they use to have to pay 35% in duty in column two). That is three million people not paying taxes at all levels, not paying for their own health care or education loans, mortgages, etc. Congress is the center of the problems of this country they want to ram through legislation and then go back to their other personal businesses. Germany, Italy, Japan and US auto companies are in MX to use the benefits of NAFTA and bring their vehicles in duty free. You can't keep admitting hundreds of thousands of people and still provide great health care, education, jobs etc. if at every turn the Congress is sinking the American people. This isn't about parties anymore this is about the survival of this country.

The average health insurance deductible--what people have to pay before their insurance kicks in--is expected to climb to 73% in the next eight years to more than $2,000.

Among the most vulnerable are people aged 50 to 64 who lack employer-sponsored insurance. For too many of them, the individual insurance market is often unavailable at any price due to exclusions for pre-existing conditions.
In addition, drug costs are soaring. In my state, 28% of those enrolled in the Medicare Part D drug benefit have landed in the infamous donut hole, potentially facing thousands of dollars in out-of-pocket costs.
But the statistics don't convey the human toll suffered by those who cannot afford health care: Cancer patients who cannot afford health insurance or prescription drugs; workers who quit their jobs to care for ailing spouses because they cannot afford to pay for in-home care; or people who burn through their life savings, lose their homes and end up in bankruptcy because someone in their family got sick.
We can't play politics with health care reform and we can't let vested interests, profits or scare tactics designed to preserve the status quo come before people in this debate.
The bottom line is we all have a stake in health care reform.

I hope he simply says that American's deserve a choice. That's why he was elected.....to keep out the "no choice", no chance party and ends his talk with:

YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN, YES WE CAN.
That's what America's school children need and deserve a positive message. -
