Just give it a few years, Mr. Feulner . . . your objection will be forgotten . . . and the anti-Heritage crowd will use Obama’s words to club you over the head.
0bama is a consummate liar; he sets a new standard for lying, even among politicians. I wouldn’t believe him if he told me the sun was hot.
More OBAMA lies and deception. He is the Bamboozler in Chief.
Sorry about that, and thank you both for your help :-)
I guess Ed didn’t get the memo saying this was good for America
And the best part is that all this will cost more money than the current system in place now.
This is one of his SOPs. Caterpillar says it will save them money (oops, no). This idea came from the GOP (oops, no). Heritage originated this concept (oops, no).
I have a feeling he’s been doing this since he was a young child. Most of his life he’s been surrounded by people so busy fawning over him that it’s probably been rare that anyone has told him to cut it out.
“Moslem Heritage Foundation President Berky Hussein Obummer Responds to His Own Lies”
He is likely everything you say, but someone on his staff feeds him this stuff. You know he doesn’t take the time to read the bill or any part of it. He gets briefings and talking points from his staff. He has a Communications Director, his Former Campaign Manager and those Chicago crooks Axelrod, Rahm and Jarrett surrounding him and they will say anything anytime to make their point.
This is exactly the kind of intelligent, controlled reply I’d expect from Heritage. This is why I’m a member, and why I send extra funds when I can.
I so hope he will Demand NBC give him equal time to refute it
and that the POS matt lauer has to sit there and listen
MSM is trying to kill US
Anyone still watch the Today Show?
I'm guessing that it's still popular among some elements of the prison population and in hospital wards where patients are prevented from changing the channel.
Beyond that, there's the self-abuse crowd, the families of the crew and stars of the program, and the DNC.
I think that's about it.......
This would be like Obama claiming that his political ideology originated from Ronald Reagan.
Bottom line is this thing is now law. If it’s not stopped in November it will never be stopped.
Let’s say the insurance companies will go out of business, and they will. After a few years we try to change back to the old system. I don’t see new insurance companies springing up and going back to business as usual over night. These companies took years to build. Now we’re stuck with this and there’s nothing we can do about it.
This must be stopped no later than next January. And that may be too late.
