			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Premiums for some personal insurance coverage plans shot up 20% while the average increase measured 13%. This exactly as Obama and the communists planned. As private insurance becomes unaffordable Americans are forced to turn to the only option, Obama government care, welcome to the People&#8217;s Republic of AmeriKa.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[As with all corrupt enterprises, prices will skyrocket under  Obamacare. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.conunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pla.army_.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-5944" title="pla.army" src="http://www.conunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pla.army_-150x150.jpg" alt="pla.army" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #ff6600;"> Read time 3.7 minutes. Libs, well, there is a pic. </span></p>
<p>The consequences of Obamacare will probably be far more reaching than he could ever dream and yes it will change America and there is a good chance it will change the world. Not for the better mind you !  Like all demented liberal experiments conjured up by demented liberals &#8211; Obama certainly among them- this one too will end in blood shed of biblical proportions.</p>
<p>To believe for a second that we can rely in the government to cut costs on any program is sheer lunacy. To believe that the government will cut health care costs trough &#8220;efficiency&#8221; and do so while at the same time insuring an additional 35 million people is a lie that rivals the biggest lies told in the history of our planet. Even Dick Durbin, an otherwise  faithful Democrat lap dog, came out and said as much- not in so many words of course, I just happen to be more articulate. ( <a href="http://hotair.com/archives/2010/03/10/durbin-of-course-premiums-will-still-go-up-with-obamacare/" target="_blank">click here for Durbin quotes</a>)</p>
<blockquote><p>Every single Obama program ever implemented saved money or saved jobs or  added jobs and yet here we are in debt to our eyeballs, broke, and  needing more money.</p></blockquote>
<p>Even if we somehow shove a Dewalt 18 Volt cordless drill in one ear and turn it on full tilt in order to scramble our brains and bring ourselves to the IQ level of the average liberal &#8211; or  to that of  Megan McCain-  and having accomplished  that we then  believe that the program itself can bring about cost savings,  we still have to contend with one pesky little problem; execution of said program  !</p>
<p>When asked about the  stimulus money spent on programs in congressional districts that exist only in the fantasy of liberals, Obama said, in effect that,  he c<em>annot possibly worry about a few measly tens of billions of dollars in a stimulus program of that size.</em></p>
<p>Understand that the US health care industry is about $3.5 trillion dollars, and employs about 15 million people and it does that each and every year and it is growing rapidly. Obama could not handle a one time spending plan that was about five times smaller without producing probably the biggest waste, corruption and nepotism  ever produced by any government program. WHAT DO YOU THINK WILL HAPPEN UNDER OBAMACARE?</p>
<p>What will happen is corruption of unimagined proportions that&#8217;s what will happen</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Of course, as with any enterprise ravaged by corruption,  prices will go up and of course inflation will accelerate even faster than Nancy Pelosi&#8217;s taxpayer paid private jet  on her way to a Botox injection. </span>And this inflation will be exported throughout the world<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span>and more specifically to our biggest trading partners .</p>
<p><strong>The China Card</strong></p>
<p>You have all seen and heard and read how worried and concerned the Chinese are about Obamacare and that our debt is skyrocketing but do you ask yourself why they are so concerned?</p>
<p>Do you think they actually care that the price of the treasuries  will drop and they will lose money? ? Sure they are concerned over losing money who isn&#8217;t, but that in and of itself is not the reason that China&#8217;s leaders are spending sleepless nights cursing Obama.</p>
<p>China will gladly spend twice that to bring America to it&#8217;s knees and become the world&#8217;s only superpower. So no, in spite of what the media on both sides of the isle is telling you , their pocketbook is not their main  concern<strong>. </strong></p>
<p><strong>China&#8217;s concern is their very existence</strong></p>
<p>You see, throughout Chinese history there was and remains one very peculiar occurrence. Masses of people descending like a gargantuan avalanche on Beijing This avalanche is set off by food prices. When food prices inflate to unaffordable levels people from the vast interior provinces get together form an army,  come to Bejing , kill the leadership &#8211; and few million other Chinese -and install a new regime. It was just what Mao did and lack of food was just the reason that he was able to do it.</p>
<p>As far back as February 2008, experts warned  that &#8221; <a href="http://www1.voanews.com/english/news/a-13-2008-02-22-voa13-66807847.html" target="_blank">Food inflation in China could lead to social unrest&#8221; </a> You might think that with the global economic crisis that peril of food inflation is no longer imminent,  but you&#8217;d be wrong. Just a few weeks ago India&#8217;s  food inflation accelerated past all expectations and at times skyrocketed almost<a href="http://www.businessweek.com/news/2010-03-11/india-food-inflation-may-slow-after-near-18-gain-for-six-weeks.html" target="_blank"> 18% in one week.</a> Do you have any idea what happens if this inflation gets exported to nearby China? I don&#8217;t know either but I sure know that I don&#8217;t want to find out! I</p>
<p>In December China&#8217;s food inflation reached  a very dangerous 5%. Last month overall inflation in China accelerated 2.7% versus a 1.7% percent increase in January (<a href="http://www.conunderground.com/wp-admin/post.php?action=edit&amp;post=5802" target="_blank"> see graph here.</a>)  Policy makers in China are really struggling to end some of the measures that were implemented to ride out the global recession but all their efforts were be quickly undone with a<span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em> stroke of Obama&#8217;s pen on the Obamacare Bill.</em></span></p>
<p>Even Obama and his Obamunists don&#8217;t for one second believe that Obamacare will save anyone a single penny. Like all monopolies it will benefit the few, in this case mostly the black and some Hispanic minorities but majority, mostly white, population of the country will and up paying more and more? Want proof ? Nothing to it! Two weeks after Obamacare passed and we were told how much money we would save with it, the Obamunists are rolling out  Paul Volker to tell us that we are running out of money and we need to add an additional Value Added Tax ( VAT ). Isn&#8217;t that odd? Every single Obama program ever implemented saved money or saved jobs or added jobs and yet here we are in debt to our eyeballs, broke, and needing more money.</p>
<p>Once again like all monopolies and like all corrupt enterprises prices will sky rocket and take inflation with it and China will have top face a starving population of over 1.5 billion people. Do you think they&#8217;ll ask us nice to lower our costs so they can feed them? Even if they do just that,  how easily do you think we&#8217;ll be able to roll back that kind of inflation</p>
<p>Oh don&#8217;t worry Obama will probably still keep his messianic title after all he would have been gone from office for maybe thee or four years&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="highslide" onclick="return vz.expand(this)" href="http://www.conunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Kent.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-4889" title="Kent" src="http://www.conunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Kent-150x150.jpg" alt="Kent" width="150" height="150" /></a>Let there be no doubt in your mind that the &#8220;public option&#8221; will be the only option unless you&#8217;ll be one of the chosen ones working for a union like the SEIU or the Federal or Municipal Governments.</p>
<p>The rest of us will be sucked in the gargantuan Obama bureaucracy  like plankton being sucked into a whale- note that there is no guarantee that after three days we&#8217;ll emerge alive like Jonas, on the contrary.  If you have ever had to swim upstream against a sea of bureaucratic red tape spewed copiously and joyously by the often imbecilic minions of said bureaucracy you might think that you  have an idea of  what&#8217;s in store for you or your children.</p>
<p>My friends allow me to assure you that most of you have no clue!</p>
<p>The gargantuan monster that Obama wants to unleash upon our country will destroy and devour everything that once made America great! Not just health care, but the acidic stench of corruption and compromise that this will bring with it will permeate and corrode the fabric of all that makes a free society free.</p>
<blockquote><p>Had you done all that, you’d be home that day with your tooth fixed contemplating how happy you are to not be one of the schleps that were walking around toothless or holding a bag of ice to their jaws.</p></blockquote>
<p>You see, the monopoly that the &#8220;public option&#8221; must logically become will, like all monopolies lead to criminal black market activity and corruption- just as we all learned in our Macroeconomics classes.  I , and my fellow immigrants from other socialist paradises, have seen it and experienced it on our own skin. In the little corner of socialist hell from whence my parents immigrated with me in tow, the &#8220;public option&#8221; operated at full throttle.  For the average citizen that meant two things, either get sick and sicker and then really sick , or bribe someone to get your medical care done.</p>
<p>Lets say it was the mid to late  seventies, you lived in one of these socialist countries and had a tooth ache.  If you weren&#8217;t a communist party big shot or had any relatives working for the secret police your choice would be to put your name on a list to  make an appointment to see a dentist. The paperwork would be forwarded and you would be given a date at which to present yourself at the dentist&#8217;s office . The date would be one or two weeks away- if you were lucky! So the time passed and you showed up at the dentist and thought that you&#8217;d get your tooth fixed. Well, you might be able to get your tooth pulled but treated, well,  that&#8217;s a different story. The shortage of filling materiel  or the shortage of anesthesia shots would put you again right back on the list and send you home to wait until these things became available. Hold your breath</p>
<p>You have just followed the &#8220;public option&#8221; bureaucratic procedure to get your cavity fixed and it has either left you toothless or you&#8217;re at home with your face wrapped in a ice waiting for the call that would never come.</p>
<p>You went about it the wrong way from day one. The proper way to navigate the nightmare would be as follows. Present yourself at the dentist office  tell the receptionist your name and slip her a pack or two of Kent cigarettes ( American cigarettes were the preferred currency and for whatever reason Kent cigarettes were the preferred brand) . One pack would get you an appointment in a few days, two packs ,the next day, three or more and you&#8217;d be seen by the dentist that same day and  if you showed up with a carton you were probably next in line or close to it. But you had better brought along a bag because you&#8217;d have to hand a pack of Kent to the dental assistant and at least a carton to Comrade Mr/Mrs  Dentist. Had you done all that, you&#8217;d be home that day with your tooth fixed contemplating how happy you are to not be one of the schleps that were walking around toothless or holding a bag of ice to their jaws.</p>
<blockquote><p>You might wonder why cigarettes and other consumer items were the prefered currency. Well there are two reasons, first the local currency was devalued to the point that it was worthless just the way our Dollar is going. Second because if you were caught with foreign currency or gold  you&#8217;d be facing hard jail time. Look for Obama to implement a similar policy here very soon.</p></blockquote>
<p>Simple right? Sure except that  Kent cigarettes were either smuggled into the country or bought from &#8220;foreign currency only shops&#8221; accessible only to foreigners. So yeah they were very very expensive,  certainly more expensive than an average, toothless, worker could afford.  God forbid you&#8217;d need a more involved procedure.  An appointment with a surgeon would set you back at least a bottle of Johny Walker Scotch Whiskey and you had better keep that coming all the way to the operating table. A really serious medical  matter would require a Philips or Telefunken or RCA boom box. If you think that Kent cigarettes were hard to come by, imagine how hard it would be to get your hands on a boom box.</p>
<p>Regardless of the intentions of the eastern European and Russian and whatever other communists  had when trying to establish the &#8220;national health care&#8221; systems reality was that there were still two types of health care. One for those who could pay  &#8211; cigarettes and whiskey and boom boxes etc- and got their health care and those who couldn&#8217;t and did not.</p>
<p>But you know what? They too paid, everyone paid, but only those who could pay again or were connected got their health care. That&#8217;s it ! That&#8217;s how it was in the socialist paradises in the former communists countries and that&#8217;s how it is now in the Socialist western European countries. Those with money get health care either at home or abroad and those who don&#8217;t wait for months on end to get their cancer diagnosed</p>
<p>That is how things are everywhere this was tried so ask yourself why is Obama and Axelrod and Rahm Emanuel and the rest of the Obamunists  pushing bto implement this here?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[The Obama miracle streak continues.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emboldened by the success of his two  previous attempts Obama has just accomplished his most miraculous miracle of to date.  At first he gave insurance to just <a href="http://www.conunderground.com/new-obama-miracle/" target="_blank">one million people</a> . Following that  he turned petrol form a pollutant a sparkling clean <a href="http://www.conunderground.com/yet-another-obama-miracle/" target="_blank">form of energy</a>. But those two miraculous miracles pale in caparison to his latest wonder. With one breath Obama found insurance for 17,000, 000 people ( that would be ten million  for you liberals. Practice does indeed make perfect.</p>
<p>Blessed days we live in indeed when we elected not a man but a sort of &#8220;God above the world&#8221; who can give insurance to 17 million people in one swift sentence and cause news commentators to have excitements running down their hlegs.</p>
<p>At this rate we&#8217;ll have full insurance in no time and no need to sped ourselves into oblivion for communist medicine.</p>
<p>Here is a full description of Obama&#8217;s miraculous miracle.</p>
<p>&#8220;There are now more than 30 million American citizens who cannot get coverage,&#8221; Obama said on Wednesday. Back in August, he had said: &#8220;We&#8217;ve got 46-47 million people without health insurance in our country.&#8221; <a href="http://in.reuters.com/article/health/idINTRE5893PT20090910" target="_blank">Source</a></p>

		<description><![CDATA[We get our hands on ad-noted excepts form tomorrow night's speech!]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-4363 alignleft" title="obama" src="http://www.conunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/obama-150x150.jpg" alt="obama" width="150" height="150" />OK folks once again we break news before anyone else &#8211; even before HotAir.com-  and we bring you a transcript of Obama&#8217;s speech complete with ad-notations. This may not be the final transcript, but we stand by its overall theme:</p></blockquote>
<p>From the moment I took office as President, the central challenge we have confronted as a nation has been the need to lift ourselves out of the worst recession since World War II. In recent months, we have taken a series of extraordinary steps, not just to repair the immediate damage to our economy, but to build a new foundation for lasting and sustained governmental  growth.</p>
<blockquote><p>There are those whites on the right that accuse me of wanting to institute &#8220;death panels&#8221;! <em><strong>I assure you that such panels will only continue to exist for unborn babies</strong>.</em></p></blockquote>
<p>But even as we have made progress, we know that the road to prosperity remains long and difficult. We also know that one essential step on our journey is to control health care in America.</p>
<p>Today, we are spending over $2 trillion a year on health care – almost 50 percent more per person than the next most costly nation. And yet, for all this spending, more of our citizens are uninsured; the quality of our care is often lower; and we aren&#8217;t any healthier.  In fact, most  of my Czars are really a bunch of sick bastards ain&#8217;t they? Ha ha.  In fact, citizens in some countries that spend less than we do are actually living longer than we do in Chicago&#8217;s south side, Detroit, New Orleans, Newark , Baltimore&#8230; Heck, I&#8217;m glad I don&#8217;t live there anymore &#8230;</p>
<p>Make no mistake: market driven  health care is a threat to our administration. It is a ticking time-bomb for our plan to take control of the most crucial industry  in the United States of America.</p>
<blockquote><p>Tell the Republican party poopers  to allow the elderly to get lit up once in a while ( shout over crowd cheers).  Hey, Republicans,<strong> the elderly want to get baked once in a while, too!  Let grandma get lit up!</strong></p></blockquote>
<p>Our costly health care system is unsustainable for doctors like Michael Kahn in New Hampshire, who, as he puts it, spends 20 percent of each day supervising a staff explaining insurance problems to patients, completing authorization forms, and writing appeal letters; a routine that he calls disruptive and distracting, giving him less time to do what he became a doctor to do and actually care for his patients.</p>
<p><strong>Under our system we will have trained government cadre working to supervise doctors, to approve procedures, cut costs and help fill out proper paperwork.</strong></p>
<p><em>We&#8217;ll help big business to get smaller ..ahh damn it, I mean to get insurance</em><strong>.<br />
</strong></p>
<p>Small business owners like Chris and Becky Link in Nashville are also struggling. They&#8217;ve always wanted to do right by the workers at their family-run marketing firm, but have recently had to lay off a number of employees – layoffs that could have been deferred, if health care costs weren&#8217;t so high. Under our system, small business owners across the country will  have access to our health care system providing that they take certain small steps to insure our success. A few such steps are the hiring of minorities, unionizing their businesses, and donating a proper amount to approved community organizing associations.</p>
<p>Our largest companies will be suffering as well, ahh I mean are suffering  ha ha , the prompter is fast again, scroll ahead&#8230;there!.  A big part of what led General Motors and Chrysler into trouble in recent decades were the huge costs they racked up providing health care for their workers; costs that made them less profitable, and less competitive with automakers around the world.We&#8217;ve put an end to all that for good.  We will do for corporate America what we&#8217;ve done for GM and Chrysler!</p>
<p>To say it as plainly as I can, health care reform is the single most important thing we can do to destroy America&#8217;s long-term fiscal health!</p>
<p><strong>No Death Panels..per say</strong></p>
<p>There are those whites on the right that accuse me of wanting to institute &#8220;death panels&#8221;! <em><strong>I assure you that such panels will only continue to exist for unborn babies</strong>.</em></p>
<p><strong> </strong>The elderly will be given a full  gamut of pills to make them feel better! I am not sure what the furor over that was all about? I like pills! I liked them when I was young, though not as much as I liked weed and blow, and I like them now.  You know it&#8217;s hard to sneak a fatty past the Secret Service and doing rails in the Oval Office is really not all that practical either because you gotta share and ahh , well it&#8217;s a mess&#8230; I don&#8217;t know how Bill did that whole cigar thing. Ha ha (pause for crowd laughter and raise chin for &#8220;hero shot&#8221;).</p>
<p>So (pause for crowd approval to die down) So yeah give grandma a pill or two or three  and get her all lit u ! Tell the Republican party poopers  to allow the elderly to get lit up once in a while ( shout over crowd cheers).  Hey, Republicans, the elderly want to get baked once in a while, too!  Let grandma get lit up!</p>
<p>I need your help! I need you to get fired up!  I need you to get lit up and fired up! (Liberal crowd chanting &#8220;we&#8217;re lit up and fired up!&#8221;  Obama again raises chin approvingly for another hero shot.)</p>
<p>Crowd chants  &#8211; We&#8217;re  Lit up! We&#8217;re Fired up! We&#8217;re Lit Up! Fired Up!</p>
<p>Obama- I need you to get Grandma lit up!</p>
<p>Crowd building up to a crescendo  &#8211; Light Grandma up! Light grandma up!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Here we have a gret video the libs in their own words telling us that &#8220;Public Option&#8221; will inevitably lead to the &#8220;single payer&#8221; option.</p>
<p>How to define single payer? Here&#8217;s how:</p>
<p>The government tells you who you&#8217;ll vote for what you will believe what you will eat what you will say who you will listen to what you will read who you will marry how many children you&#8217;ll have how old you&#8217;ll get and you will respond &#8220;thank you sir may I have another&#8221; or you will be dumped in some gulag to waste away and die as your children are taken to state run orphanages.</p>
<p>IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?</p>
<p>Oh ,you don&#8217;t think that this will happen? Look who the racist in chief has appointed to key posts to watch over you, Van Jones ring a bell?</p>

		<description><![CDATA[We'll  kill the proverbial two birds with one stone, stratospheric health care costs and illegal immigration]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One of the most contentious subjects that pops up when the subject of health care comes around is the expenses incurred for the treatment of illegal aliens. I have an idea that will kill the proverbial two birds with one stone.</p>
<p>We all know that many California hospitals went bankrupt becasue of the huge expenses incurred during the treatment of illegal aliens at emergency rooms.<br />
No  we can&#8217;t turn them away from the emergency rooms and let them die in the streets and we don&#8217;t have to. There are other, much better  options.</p>
<p>What we can do is what we&#8217;ve boon doing, provide them treatment but unlike the current  idiotic situation we&#8217;ll  make them pay their bills.</p>
<p>If they have no money and the vast majority don&#8217;t,  we  present the bill to their native country. I know that we should hold our breath until they pay , but it won&#8217;t be like that.</p>
<p>First we charge the bill to whatever foreign aid we give that nation.- yes  we also add a premium to the cost becasue they are after all not Americans. If that&#8217;s not enough to cover the cost we put a lien against assets that they have in this country. If that still doesn&#8217;t cover it  we charge a tariff on goods from that country.</p>
<p>How long do you think it will be until that particular nation&#8217;s ruling junta will clamp down on people trying to sneak into the US? How long do you think it will be until we no longer have an illegal immigration problem?</p>

<p>The democrats are trying to move away form the &#8220;Public Option&#8221; and towards something called the &#8220;Co-Op&#8221;  option!</p>
<p>This new contraption would, from what I understand go something like this:</p>
<p>1) The government fronts your money to get this started. The proponents said and I quote &#8220;the money may or may not ever get paid back&#8221;</p>
<p>2) The uninsured or who ever wants to join the program will do just that -so far I haven&#8217;t heard of any restrictions.</p>
<p>3) The program then flies on its own run by its members as a quasi-governmental  agency.</p>
<p>Well the problem is that previous quasi governmental entities are exactly  the ones  responsible for  &#8220;the worst recession since the depression&#8221;  ( that is of course a White House quote).</p>
<p>Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Ginnie Mae and there are others that I can&#8217;t remember just now, are just the sort of quasi governmental  organizations that the Co-Op option that would become.</p>
<p>The results are ominous. Ginnie Mae is getting bailed out by your money becasue it is bankrupt. Similarly Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae have also gotten bailed out by your money.</p>
<blockquote><p>Of course the Jamie Gorelick , the person most directly responsible for not stopping 911 and then awarded with the Vice Chair of Fannie Mae never had to return the tens of millions of dollars of your money  that she awarded herself as she helped bankrupt  Fannie Mae and destroy the housing market</p></blockquote>
<p>Right now the government is just about the only institution lending mortgate money. I am not sure what percent of the residential mortgage market ins dominated by the FHA  buut its probably well over 95%</p>
<p>That will be the end result of the Co-Op option! They will bankrupt everyone else and dominate the market in a very very short time thus becoming again &#8220;the public option&#8221;</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Fox's Major Garrett has put the administration in a position from where they can very easily hang themselves. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_4064" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 160px"><img class="size-thumbnail wp-image-4064" title="Garret" src="http://www.conunderground.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/Garret2-150x150.jpg" alt="Garret" width="150" height="150" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Major Garret, one of the few &quot;reporters&quot; left</p></div>
<p>Fox&#8217;s Major Garrett has publicly raised the question of the true purpose of the White House snitch site.  By doing this he put the administration in a position from where they can very easily hang themselves.</p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">During Friday&#8217;s press conference Major Garrret raised the issue of how and why did people who otherwise had never given the administration or their cronies  their e-mail address received unsolicited e-mails from the White House. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">That Gibbs had no answer is scarier than twenty Russian subs off the Eastern Seaboard.  In a desperate attempt to silence Garret, Gibbs tried to hide behind a demand to see the list of the e-mail recipients. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">Why such a demand no one knows. Inspecting the list serves no purpose except to stall for time, but so be it. Fox News provided the White House with the list  and we now wait for the cover up, ahh I mean we all wait for the answer.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">Aside form being the first President of the United States to kiss a kings ring and for coming up with new and creative reasons to apologize for America  this administration has not proven itself  all that  savvy at things presidential. Lets hope &#8216;&#8221;cover-ups&#8221; are on that long list of things at which they are not particularly adept. </span></span></p>
<blockquote><p>There are two points that should be considered in the exchange between Major Garret and Gibbs.</p>
<p>First Major asks Gibbs why Axelrod&#8217;s e-mails on the topic of Obamacare are devoid of any mention of the &#8220;Public Option&#8221;. Gibbs is taken back and responds  that <em>&#8220;this is an option that provides choice and competition..that&#8217;s the President&#8217;s goal&#8221;</em> Some of us are taking that as another signal that a defeated Obama is moving away from the Public Option.</p>
<p>Second when grilled about people getting unsolicited e-mails Gibbs says <em> &#8220;I&#8217;d be interested to see  who you got that e-mail from and whether or not they&#8217;re on the list&#8221; </em>The world wonders, <strong>WHAT LIST</strong>?</p></blockquote>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">There are many ways that the administration can capture the e-mails of innocent Americans and truth be told the snitch site is the most benign on a list that can include aircraft flying over the country and sucking up e-mails , programs such as Carnivore and many other tricks  so classified or secret that we can&#8217;t even imagine them.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">The Obamunists may be  counting on the fact that the previous liberal administration, Clinton&#8217;s,  was able to get away with stealing  FBI lists containing raw data on  their political adversaries. If that&#8217;s the case they are seriously miscalculating. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">First not too many people get up in arms about politician&#8217;s dirty secrets being aired so the FBI list was a bit of &#8220;inside baseball&#8221;.  Truth be told many hoped to actually get to see some of the dirty laundry that Clinton had on his adversaries. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;"> This is different, this is plain ordinary Americans whose lives and existence might be on a White House list somewhere for purposes unknown. How can any American , conservative or lib support such a thing?<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;"> Second even Clinton was forced to change his tactics by a then nascent YouTube. Internet video is now a mature technology as is Facebook, Twitter and many other social networks. Obama will not be able to get away with this.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">Will they find a hyper loyal lackey willing to fall on his sword? Sure that could happen but in the end that will just make it worse. </span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">On the other hand given how horrible they are performing the Oabmunists might use this as an excuse to clean house and send some people back to Chicago. That too will lead to leaks and tell-all books and finger pointing and eventually the truth will come out.<br />
</span></span></p>
<p><span style="visibility: visible;"><span style="visibility: visible;">Obama derided republican senators who referred to Obamacare as his Waterloo.   Depending on how this plays pout Obama might just be happy to trade that Waterloo for the e-mail Watergate</span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Obama says that he wants to  implement his all controlling health care plan  because he wants to save on costs and thus make it all work better and la di da.</p>
<p>Its all a lie.</p>
<p>First of all there is and there has never been a  government program that has cut costs, never! This one is no different.</p>
<p>The single most costly element of health care is the malpractice suits brought about by lawyers like John Edwards. Is there a single line in the Obama health care bill to limit malpractice suits and awards? NO ! How could a program that&#8217;s supposed to be about cost savings not have any provisions for tort reform. California has limits on malpractice suits and lo and behold the world didn&#8217;t end!</p>
<p>Another massive component of the escalating cost of health care is one which Obama identified in his campaign and promised to address once elected;   the cost  drugs. Obama promised to impose some $80 billion dollars in what he called &#8220;cost savings, promised to have the government set the price for the Medicare prescription drug program and to help facilitate the import of cheaper drugs form Canada.  He you seen any of that in the Obamacare bill?</p>
<p>No of course not because as Rich Lowry writes in his expose in the NY Post ,  Obama cut  a deal with the drug companies lobby groups. The drug companies will pony up about $150 million in advertising for Obamacare and then all is forgiven.</p>
<p>Without tort reform and without any steps to make the rest of the world share the burden of higher medication costs no program can claim  to be a &#8220;cost savings program.&#8221; Obama care is no such thing , its simply a program to put power and control of our nation in the hands of socialists like Obama, Axelrod, and the Emmanuel brothers. When Obama claims that all he wants is to help cut costs he is nothing but a bold faced liar.</p>
