I also just watched Obamas town hall meeting. First of all, he is the most arrogant and cocky man I have seen. Second, why was this meeting so calm compared to the meeting with Alen Specter held only hours prior. And third, maybe next time the white house staff shouldn't stack the crowd with pro-0bama drones. Such is politics. I still see right through this man and his ridiculous plan.

Fact Check Barack.
Here is a very nice and short list of ten reasons why obamacare will not succeed:

Pelosi's Op-Ed in USA Today
Nancy Pelosi and Steny Hoyer combined in this very interesting article that was published in USA Today's Op-Ed section. Obviously, Pelosi and Hoyer discuss the health care reform, and how it has been the focus of the US economy and political agenda for nearly a century now, and especially how important it is to debate it to make sure we get it right. She argues for lower costs and better care, not quite divulging the fact that we and our children have to pay for this reform.
Pelosi continues on, mocking the behavior of Americans at recent town hall meetings with representatives. I, for one, am very encouraged and optimistic when I see people learning the facts, standing up to their representatives, and asking the right questions. Doesn't the Obama administration understand what's going on? People are seeing right through their nonsense, their whimsical claims, and "happily ever after" reform. So what if people yell and point their fingers at these representatives? These people have been elected to represent the people, to answer questions, pass on information, to act in the best interest of the people. They don't get paid six figure salaries for sitting around a nice office...
Pelosi also claims, "Drowning out opposing views is simply un-American". Oh I see, but shooting people down because they believe something else that happens to differ from your viewpoint is OK when it benefits you right? Personally, I believe Ms. Pelosi's article not only exemplifies her hypocritical nature, but shows how shallow she truly can be.

HEALTHCARE.
We've heard it on the news, we've all read it in some form of media print, and now more then ever we are starting to feel the ill effects of a proposed nationalized health care reform. What is nationalized health care? As of now, our health care insurance services are carried out through private companies, which can use employers as a "middle-man", if you will. Mr. Obama's plan is seeking to expand the federal governments role in this sector by offering affordable, comprehensive, and portable coverage which seeks to contain spiraling costs, improving overall quality, and strengthening prevention and overall public health. That sounds absolutely wonderful. Who wouldn't want that!?! Well before you go bowing to our demigod of a president, the chosen one, please understand that Mr. Obamas plan is far from original. In fact, he has recycled and combined initiatives from the 1993 Clinton plan, the 2004 Kerry plan, and the Commonwealth Fund's (which happens to be a liberal think tank) plan. First of all, and most importantly, we really don't know how much this reform is going to cost. It is so ambiguous and its effects so miscalculated, that some economists have pinned its costs at $1 trillion and others at $13 trillion. As you can see, the spectrum is a colorful and widely negotiable one. Yet, it is impossible to deny that this reform is going to give the U.S. Government a MASSIVE expansion of regulatory authority not only over health insurance, but over our daily lives. The government is going to tell me when, where, and with which doctor I can get treated. With which doctor and at what hospital I can have my surgery. Broke your arm? Need surgery? Sorry, get in line and wait. Obama and his team of drones are going to be able to define what exactly "quality care" is and how we are to receive it. But most importantly my friends, is this idea of CENTRALIZED CONTROL. If this reform bill passes, it will be the biggest blow to U.S. liberty in the last century. The government will posses sole control over your health care. Yeah, yeah, I've heard the robots at the White House suggest that if you're happy with your current plan you can keep it. Pardon my boldness when I say, it's all a bunch of crap. Mr. Obama, how do you expect a private health insurance company to compete with a megalithic government subsidized insurance giant? This inevitable show-down would make David vs. Goliath seem like a cage match between two toddlers. The government will control financing, delivery, and overall management of a multi-faceted and multi-billion dollar industry. Please keep in mind, the government has already demonstrated the extent of their ability to control private sector industries (i.e. Citigroup, AIG, the auto industry). If you think a government that is unable to maintain the auto industry (oh, except for that sensational cash-for-clunkers idea), is going to be able to manage health care insurance for over 280 million people?!
Look, I know a lot of you are uninsured out there. 47 million Americans do not have health care insurance. Some of these people can't afford it, some are illegally in this country, and others (particularly younger Americans) have decided not to buy insurance. Now, you have a government that is going to come in, make private insurance carries obsolete, and OBLIGATE you to become insured. Lets not stop there though, that is only the tip of the tyranny iceberg. The Obama White House Administration has sent out a memo encouraging people to report articles, incidents, and publications in which THEIR health care bill is bad mouthed or misreported. Hey, Obama, last time I checked, I am free to do whatever the hell I please. Whether that is bad mouth you, your administration, or your policies. But I'll save that for another post. Can you believe this guy? He wants us to report other people for expressing their opinions? For acting upon their God given rights to liberty and freedom? FOR EXERCISING THEIR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH BESTOWED UPON US THROUGH OUR GREAT CONSTITUTION. Our rights, our privacy, our right to expression, to discussion, to the free exchange and influx of ideas and thoughts has been compromised by a tyrannical and inexperienced excuse for commander and chief. But no my friends, that's not the worst of it. Recently, Americans have begun asking questions to local lawmakers and officials. They have started demanding that their voices be heard across the nation. During town-hall style meetings in several states, taxpaying citizens have been extremely vocal and sometimes near violent in requesting information about this health care bill which will cost them and their future generations billions and billions of dollars. And how did these senators and congress representatives handle the situation? They spit out the lines that they were fed by White House advisers, speech writers, and staff. But here's the kicker, and I really cannot believe this was said; The White House sent a memo out to all of these lawmaking representatives and said "don't worry, if you get hit, we will hit back twice as hard". EXCUSE ME. How this president is even still in office is beyond me. The great capitalistic America envisioned by the dozens of Constitution co-signers has been replaced with a Venezuelan style of communism and tyranny. We might as well follow Iran and turn into a Muslim Theocracy, while we're at it. Why not?
There is a reason we are the only major economic power that has not nationalized our health care. There is a reason that we have taken pride in our ability to rely on the private sector to control certain industries, which can be monitored but not interfered with by government. There is a reason that I believe in reduced government that will not have the ability to enact a monopoly on private health insurance carriers. Imagine, if you will, a slippery slope. A nation in which doctor liability is increased and pay is decreased, there will be a mass exodus of American doctors to other countries. Imagine if you will a a government that runs health insurance, but why stop there, Obama is on a spending spree. Why not control my life insurance, my car insurance, my house insurance. I don't need State Farm, I have Barack Hussein Obama, a 48 year old man from Chicago who has been crowned the king of the free world, the second coming of the Messiah. My friends, open your eyes, do your research, read the bill, make your voice known! Half of these law makers haven't even read the bill in its entirety, that's including your president Obama, while they are willing to spend trillions on this unnecessary reformation. Why not shift direct control of the health care system back to the American people, instead of federalizing it in an attempt to secure government power and prestige.
I leave you with a video that was sent to me by Nick Gionfriddo, a friend who shares the same concerns as I regarding our fate in the hands of a tyrant president with an inclination for a spending spree and a checkbook that has no limit:
Indeed Mr. Obama, you don't really want any of us talking do you? You want us to go silently as you deconstruct everything that this country has built for the last two and a half centuries...Well sir, that isn't going to happen, and you can bet that we will not let YOU ruin our lives.
