“Obama has loads of ignorance to go with his arrogance.”

Well said, and accurate. It's a volatile and destructive combination.

Government Health....will eventually lead to forced abortions and euthanasia. It’s about being “useful” in society.

I’ll tell you what’s not logical.

It’s not logical to expect Obama to understand economics.

What is logical is to expect Obama will make the economy worse.

Oh yeah, this was the point that I began hollering at the television and had to turn it off.

He doesn't realize that the bottomless pockets of the federal government (also known as taxpayers) will run the private insurers out of business.

President Barack Obama said it is “not logical” to think that a government-run health care program competing with private health insurers would eventually drive the private firms out of business.

Since Zer0's entire life has been spent as a taker rather than a producer and since he views the Constitution as a "...flawed document..." because it doesn't say what the government must do for the individual, this makes perfect sense.

>>>> “if we’re going to spend that much money, then it’s going to be largely funded through reallocating dollars that are already in the health care system,” <<<<

“Reallocating” which dollars? From where?

If Zero believe this tripe he is pointing out, it is logical that instead of creating a government health care out of whole cloth, why doesnt the government just buy their health plan from a private carrier.

Obama isnt stupid he just thinks all Americans are. The ones that back him probably are.

He knows better but like before the election, he is lying his butt off, until it’s too late.

THIS IS THE SOCIALIST HOSPITAL WORKERS UNION THUG WHO WRITES OBAMAS SPEECHES

Politicians and strategists praise Patrick Gaspard highly, although he stays away from the limelight.

"Patrick is the best political mind of his generation in New York and maybe the nation," says Kevin Sheekey, who as Michael Bloomberg's right-hand-man has frequently worked and battled with Gaspard.

"I wouldn't dispute that," said David Axelrod, Obama's chief strategist and Gaspard's cohort on the campaign trail. When reminded that such a title could be bestowed on Axelrod himself, the strategist said he was "happy to cede that" to Gaspard.

The Washington Post, among others, has announced that a longtime labor operative of Barack Obama's, Patrick Gaspard, will be named Obama's White House political director.

Gaspard served as national political director for much of Obama's general election campaign and was named deputy director of personnel for the transition effort. Prior to his work with Obama, Gaspard was the lead political operative for the 1199 branch of the Service Employees International Union, a huge and hugely influential union representing health care workers in New York. He spent the 2004 general election as the national field director for America Coming Together.

Gaspard was featured prominently in Ryan Lizza's recent New Yorker piece detailing how Obama won. Of his job interview with the Illinois Senator, Gaspard recalled Obama saying: "I think that I'm a better speechwriter than my speechwriters. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy directors. And I'll tell you right now that I'm gonna think I'm a better political director than my political director."

LIAR, LIAR! The Narcissist Prezzie is a pathological liar. This freakzoid even said that everyone would get the same healthcare as the Gold Plated Congress gets even as the Congresscrats and Federal Employee parasites are exempt from the glorious public healthcare!

He doesn't understand how government subsidies skew choices in the marketplace? This two-bit Marxist doesn't have a clue about how the free market operates--and he isn't about to contaminate his profound ignorance with the least bit of knowledge.

I don't "fear" government-run health care. Having seen it up close and personal in operation in a few other countries, I LOATHE it.

“Why would it drive private insurance out of business? If private insurers say that the marketplace provides the best quality health care; if they tell us that they're offering a good deal, then why is it that the government, which they say can't run anything, suddenly is going to drive them out of business? That's not logical.”

Well, maybe because the government has the sole power to tax everyone in the country to hit its budget and to force doctors to accept its payment schedule or else lose their licenses for the medical takeover.

Why would it run private insurers out?

Nothing like regulating your competition all the while not having to make a profit and being able to make a loss and somebody pick up the tab.

How many people will want to go through the rigors of medical school just to become workers for a gigantic bureaucracy? Where is the incentive without freedom?
