First Rule of Obamacare Club Is: You Do Not Talk About Obamacare Club
michelle malkin ^ | 8/31/10 | Doug Powers

First they had to pass it so we could find out what’s in it, and now they know what’s in it but they can’t talk about it:

The progressive coalition Health Care for America Now fought hard to pass health care reform. Now it’s fighting hard to help reelect lawmakers who voted for the bill — even if it means not talking about it.

While polls show that health reform has become slightly more popular since passage, it’s still a polarizing issue, particularly in districts where Republicans and conservative groups have bombarded voters with negative ads.

Now, HCAN’s field crews are finding that the best way to support reform-friendly lawmakers is to talk about something else: jobs, the economy or other issues likely to resonate more with voters.

Yeah, that’s a good idea — re-direct voters’ focus from the Health Care Bill to something more upbeat, like jobs, the economy and “Recovery Summer.”

Obama is an authentic LIAR, and a first-class Communist and Socialist; and those kind of people never want to be challenged with any type of the truth against them.

Look at what Communist did in history to people who spoke truth against their dominion - they were imprisoned, killed, taken away from the face of the earth...

It’s like the cartoons where the tied-up victim is next to a bomb with a yards-long fuse that his arch enemy has put a match to, and he’s vainly huffing and puffing at it to try to blow it out. Of course cartoon characters always reassemble themselves in the next scene from any smithereens they may have been blown into (or else they are comically bandaged, hobbling on crutches, and besmirched), but the election “bomb” for the Rats this November bodes to be quite real and lasting.

Only one poll [the Kaiser Permenente poll] has shown some slight evidence that health reform has become a little more agreeable since passage...

But this DOES NOT show evidence that all the remaining non-Kaiser patients have that same opinion...

I have spoken with Kaiser doctors personally. They are NOT happy about this legislation at all.

Interesting:

What national security concerns, what technical information about our intel collection/law enforcement/military equipment/or tactics and procedures are being divulged that would threaten life, limb or eyesight and or jeopardize our capabilities in these areas? Are the names or addresses of informants, spies, under cover personnel being divulged and their lives or capabilities being compromised?

I guess the point is this- There is no reason for this “most transparent administration” to withhold all this information unless their agenda is to pull the wool over peoples eyes by playing games of deception, politically maneuvering and not allowing time for a proper review of the materials before decisions are made, bullying or unofficially buying others off (in a legal way) and making decisions in smoky rooms out of sight and sound of the general public. This administration is the antithesis of what they proclaimed to be.

Does anyone have information that under certain STATE employee health care systems/retirement health care systems, spouses will not be covered?

I was on a phone call with someone yesterday who said this is what he is experiencing, due to 0bama Deathcare.

Still covered here in North Carolina although we pay extra for it (of course). However, the Old North State is broke and that may change.
