A Guide To The President's Lies About Obamacare's Cost

The Lid/WSJ/UK Mail ^ | 3/15/2010 | The Lid

Just a few hours ago the House released the "reconciliation bill" the companion legislation to the Senate version of Obamacare meant to work out the differences between the two houses of congress. This 2,309 page monstrosity will be sent to the Congressional Budget Office to determine the cost of the bill.

In actuality it doesn't really matter, the CBO develops its costs based on the parameters they are given, which in the case of Obamacare has skewed the costs to give an unrealistic perspective on its effect on the nation's economy. Or as computer software developers would call it, Garbage-in, Garbage-out.

Much of what we have been told by the President and his staff about the cost of his Obamacare program has been at the very least inaccurate, more likely, an outright lie. Here are some of his most egregious examples:

Everyone take action, and say your prayers too. This week looks like the moment of truth.

How many arms will be twisted. How many times will Rahm confront wavering congressmen in a locker room or a bathroom? How many promises will be made? How many relatives will be appointed to federal judgeships? How many czar jobs will be promised to wavering congressmen to walk the plank on this one, assuming they lose re-election?

I pray to God that these people deciding on these issues are bound by You personally, God, bound on Earth and in Heaven, to uphold the Constitution of the United States and act with honor and integrity. I gin's all presumptions of backroom deals and knavery, all bribery and witchcraft, be stopped immediately, so that their evil is not present. I call upon the Lord Jesus Christ to chasten these men and women, and to remind them personally of what this country means to the world. I call upon Michael and Gabriel to stand against those evil people who frequent the Halls of Congress. Lastly, I ask intercession of angelic hosts, and the souls, both living and dead, to prevail against the satanism of lies and deception rife throughout DC. Smite through it. Show the liars to us all, on TV, with the truth willing out unawares.

I humbly beseech, Thee, O, Lord, to Bless America. There are those of us here who love her so very, very tenderly.

In the Holy Name of Christ Jesus, and with the faith of a mustard seed, I, a sinner, ask this O, Lord.

Amen

Caesar:
Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue shriller than all the music
Cry "Caesar!" Speak, Caesar is turn'd to hear.


Soothsayer:
Beware the ides of March.


Caesar:
What man is that?


Brutus:
A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

Oh, give me a phone
Where the Democrats roam,
In the land of the Bribe and the Spin,
Where we never let up
On the Blue Doggie pups,
Cause we won't let Obamunists win.

Phone, e-mail and yell,
Whether doggies be Red, White or Blue,
Then we'll barge through the dooor,
And we'll sit on the floooor,
Till they join the Tea Party too!

TOLL-FREE PHONE CALLING

These two toll free numbers were set up by Obamuniust organizations to support (pause for sticking out tongue) “health” “care” “reform.” Use one of them! After all, they are free! .(I’ve used them frequently: they both work.) At the first number you must wait through a brief Obamunist tape recording. Just hang on and when the recording is over, you will get the Capitol operator. Just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office. Then you will either talk to an aide or have the chance to leave a message for him/her to vote NO on the health care bill.

When you use the second number and the Capitol operator comes on, just ask for your Rep or Senator’s office

1-800-828-0498

1-866-220-0044

Note: the Toll-Free numbers above will ONLY work to get you to the Congressional Switchboard (DC)--- then ask for the individual congressman by name. To call your Congressman's local office , the above Toll-Free number is not applicable. You have to dial it and pay for the call yourself.
