Pot and Kettle

Obama has been upset that people are disagreeing with him on his socialistic health care proposals. He claims they are lying (by the way, Congress has said we can't call the president a liar). "We will call you out," he said when he spoke to Congress. Wonder why he's not so upset by the Democrats? Chet Edwards said, "I will wear it as a badge of honor that I was shouted at by people who oppose Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and children's health."

Honestly, do you know anybody who opposes children's health? Honestly, do you know anyone in favor of cutting retirees off their social security? Honestly, do you know anyone who wants to cut retirees off their Medicare?

Incidentally, I do oppose the concept of government run social security and medicare; however, we're saddled with them, and people have been paying premiums on them for their entire working lives, so we can't cut them off. The fiascos we see in these insolvent programs will be the end result of Obama care. But Obama doesn't care (no pun intended). He just wants to be another FDR.
