Obama's 17 Minute, 14 Second Answer on Higher Taxes and Health Care

FOX News ^ | April 2, 2010

QUESTION: Thank you, Mr. President. We're honored to have you here today. I'm Joyce Ravis (ph) from Lake Wiley, South Carolina. I work at Celgard. We have wonderful CEOs that take care of us and have really helped the company grow.

My question is, though, in the economy times that we have now, is it a wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care, because it -- we are over-taxed as it is?

OBAMA: Well, let's talk about this, you know, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation. And I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have.

Here's the bottom line. Number one is that we are the only -- we have been, up until last week, the only advanced country that allows 15 million of its citizens to not have any health insurance. ...

So if you're concerned about the deficit, what you're really concerned about is the cost of Medicare, Medicaid and all the other programs that are already in place...

Most of the budget is Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, defense spending and interest on the national debt. That -- that accounts for about 70 percent of the budget. And so all this other stuff that sometimes we argue about, that's not the big stuff. We're going to have to tackle the big stuff if we're going to get our budget under control.

Boy, that was a long answer. I'm sorry, but I hope everybody -- but I hope I answered her question.

This is a tactic guys. Obama has been educated in the art of propaganda in the same way he took on that hypnotic cadence during the election, and also said things like “You will get in that voting booth and a light will come over you and you will vote for Barack Obama” (note he did not say “me”, but “Barack Obama” because this was a hypnotic instruction and “me” wouldn’t be an option on the ballot).

So this 20 minute answer style is designed to confuse and bore the person for their mind to wander, but naturally you will be so enamored with the APPEARANCE of his ‘knowledge’ that you will concede he must be right because no one would talk so much about a subject unless they were certain... and so he ‘wins’ the argument without saying a damn thing.

My father was fascinated by hypnosis, subliminal messaging and such throughout his life. He picked up on Obama’s style of speeches and the little things he said that someone not familiar with that concept would not pick up.

The object of all things is government control and siphoning money to the Fed gov....

[nolongerademocrat]

Oh yeah, the Muslims. Who could forget them? LOL He’s such a liar that I’m starting to picture Jon Lovitz everytime he opens his mouth. “Yeah, that’s the ticket...”

[funfan]

I dont hink he ansewred he question about being over taxed did he?

[OafOfOffice]

All of that to say we will tax you more?

[Terry Mross]

15 million without insurance. I thought it was 30 million. Did the magic negro get 15,000,000 people insured by the signing of the law?

We're going to have to tackle the big stuff if we're going to get our budget under control.

!7 minutes and he didn't say anything.

So why add big things like health care. I suppose the best way to get health care under control is to not have any. Take two aspirin and don't call me in the morning is cost effective.

I am really getting tired of seeing this guy in front of cheering sycophants. There is no way this is a representative audience. Why does FOX (I know there is no hope for the rest of the slimes) not do a check on these people and how they got in.

Did he really say “misapprehensions”?

'Misapprehensions' to the Kenyan are female taxpayers.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[ldish]

i can not put into writing how i really feel...and what i wish for!

[SoldierDad]

I can. I really really hate these socialist who are now controlling this once proud Republic. And, I wish for their political demise - the sooner the better.

[SteamShovel]

And, if you can control healthcare, you control it all.....

.....And Energy

.....And Food

.....And Religion

.....And the Right to Free (Conservative) Speech

.....And the Right to Bear Arms

.....And Free Commerce

.....And Property Rights

.....And...

Obama isn't settling for JUST Healthcare, He's going for it ALL.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I wonder what Obama would do the day he doesn't have a microphone and an audience in front of him.

What would he do, then?

[Nachum]

Play basketball?

[Oceander]

There is only one response necessary to the Jackass-in-Chief:

[Victoria Delsoul]

LOL, with a mirror in front of him!

[okie01]

Any answer to a direct question that takes 17 minutes and 14 seconds to deliver is composed of equal parts lies and obfuscation. There will not be a shred of truth.

Having read the response, I believe the above to be an unerringly accurate statement.
