Obama Addresses Hitler Reference on Health Debate at Black Caucus Conference

Obama's remarks about Nazi leader Adolf Hitler referred to signs some people have waved outside of often testy town hall meetings around the country this summer where lawmakers discussed changing health care.

Saturday, September 26, 2009

President Obama delivers his remarks at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s Annual Phoenix Awards dinner.

WASHINGTON -- President Obama on Saturday resumed his push to overhaul the health care system, telling a Congressional Black Caucus conference that there comes a time when "the cup of endurance runs over."

"We have been waiting for health reform since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. We've been waiting since the days of Harry Truman," he said in remarks at the caucus foundation's annual dinner. "We've been waiting since Johnson and Nixon and Clinton."

"We cannot wait any longer," Obama said.

Obama spent the past week largely focused on global and economic issues in meetings with world leaders in New York and Pittsburgh.

At the G-20 economic summit that wrapped up Friday in Pennsylvania, Obama told a story about an unnamed foreign leader who privately told the president he didn't understand the at-times contentious debate over changing the health care system.

"He says, 'We don't understand it. You're trying to make sure everybody has health care and they're putting a Hitler mustache on you. That doesn't make sense to me,"' Obama said, quoting the world leader he declined to identify.

The reference to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler was to signs some people have waved outside of often testy town hall meetings around the country this summer where lawmakers discussed Obama's health care plan.

How would it play if any white President went to the “White blah, blah, conference, meeting...etc.

Call me sick to death of the double standard of leftists and people of “color”.

Of course not- he got an assist from the left-wing media (CNN) who spun this as coming from conservatives and republicans and tea party protesters.

So does he feel the same way about not understanding why they did that to pictures of President Bush or is that okay to him.
The double standards are just amazing. I saw alittle of his interruption to Glen Beck and he made comments about not wanting to be on the “right” ha ha ha I am not laughing.
I say put on your big girl panties and deal with it they did the same to President Bush and I didn’t hear him complain about he just probably thought the people doing that were fools.

“You're trying to make sure everybody has health care and they're putting a Hitler mustache on you. That doesn't make sense to me,”

What doesn't make sense is this “trying to give healthcare to everyone”. Everyone already has access to healthcare if they need it whether they're rich, poor, insurance or no insurance.

He declined to identify the leader because he likely was a tin pot dictator or tyrant.<,p> Obama cannot force this on a free people. And the people are pushed about as far as they will go, and now he kjoins in a racial cabal to dis his critics? They put a mustache on me! HOw dare they! LOL. Somuch for the issues, just stirrig up more emotion is our nasty little black Hitler.

Obama, you can run to the black caucus and try to hide, try to polarize America, but we will get rid of you and your Juta.You are not an American.

Truth to tell you are not even a blackman. You are half white and half Arab. You are not fooling the black caucus at all. They know you are not one of them.They know you want to enslave America , if anyone does.

I was watching Glen Beck when this speech intruded. I kept watching just out of curiosity....and heard that comment.

“All I want to do is get healthcare for everyone”.......

Right.

That’s why you have roots so deep into communism (Frank Marshall Davis and Velerie Jarrett’s parents) and into the criminal activities (of the likes of Acorn) and into favoring Jihadists....that most Americans with any sense see you for the fraud and liar that you are, Zero.

But then again 0 is striving hard to be the anti-Bush President. This way he keeps Soros, Hollywood, Gays and Lesbians, Union Thugs, NARAL, and the Netroots happy as larks. 0’s message is that what’s fair to Bush ain’t meant to apply to him. He is not Bush the unilateralist, he is the global community organizer.

NO, BHO... the comparison to Hitler is Speech, actions, POLICIES (national healthcare being one of the most important) ...listening and watching the early days of HITLER (1933-1934)the comparisons are eerily frightening.

I was waiting for hubby to come out of the DMV last week and the LaRouche circus [with their Adolph Obama signs] was set up on the DMV sidewalk.

Not only did *that* surprise me, I was later gobsmacked when a black couple stopped, listened, talked to them and then left with a bunch of literature.

Strange days have found us.

We have been repeatedly rejecting government control of health care since the days of Teddy Roosevelt. It was a bad idea then and it still is.

National Socialist German Workers’ Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, `Nazi’)

Collectivization and nationalism of the economy; attempts to establish control over all means of communication; the setting up of a private government-within-a-government of individuals responsible only to the leader; stigmatization and persecution of parts of society; a constant campaign of emergency and crisis; etc.
However*

So, health care is EXACTLY THE SAME since the days of Teddy Roosevelt? There have been no changes in public policy since 1909?

It’s not about healthcare. It’s about the Communist takeover of our country. The healthcare legislation is just a means to that end.

After Nationalizing industries, and devoting his full energies to Socializing medicine, the black President addresses the racially pure Congressional Black Caucus and doesn't understand the Hitler references, nor apparently irony ... And I am supposed to see racism in the tea party crowd, but not the enlightened progressive hyphenated-Americans and their divisive identity politics ... Gotcha ...

Obama can't read a sentence from the teleprompter without lying: ""He says, 'We don't understand it. You're trying to make sure everybody has health care and they're putting a Hitler mustache on you. That doesn't make sense to me,"' Obama said, quoting the world leader he declined to identify."

First lie: 'we don't understand it.' Of course he does.

Second + third lies: 'You're trying to make sure everyone has health care and they put a Hitler mustache on you.' Everyone in America gets health care now. And what you're trying to do Obama, is complete a government takeover of health care. You want to nationalize or socialize health care. You want government control over the American People. That's why they put a Hitler mustache on you. And you fully understand that, you lying sack of (fill in the blank).

I don't know, if smearing and insulting the American People is a good electoral strategy. In any case, Obama's going to find out and it's going to start in Virginia and New Jersey.

Just to get my prediction out there again, by the Spring, it'll be the Democrats asking Obama to produce his birth certificate. They're going to be looking for a way to get rid of him before November '10.
