House: Obama's FDA causing drug shortages
Washington Examiner ^ | June 15, 2012 | Joel Gehrke

President Obama's Food and Drug Administration has caused "a public health crisis" -- a prescription drug shortage over the past two years -- by increasing the number of threats issued to raid and close drug manufacturing plants, according to House investigators.

"This shortage appears to be a direct result of over-aggressive and excessive regulatory action," House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said in a statement. "These drugs can save lives and keep people who need them living healthy lives. The FDA is failing to ensure the availability of quality products."

Many of us have wondered why we have this drug shortage. Once again, Issa has done a great job and now we know--the final responsibiilty lies with the Illegal and his Obamunists at the FDA. For the full, damning report, go here:

It goes without saying this man, Obama, knows nothing about drugs, save the illicit, recreational sort.

What is his purpose in this high-handed abuse of the nations drug supply and how does it play into ObamaCare?

I remember hearing about this a couple of years ago. That Obama’s FDA decided to create regulations that made it cost prohibitive for drug companies to continue to produce many drugs that had been generic for many years. It was something along the lines of needing to apply for new licenses to produce the drugs, having multiple tests to show that the drugs were of the proper quality and new reporting requirements. Most of the drug companies found it easier to stop production and thus the current shortage began.

Of course this makes sense in the Marxist oriented administration. Create a false shortage and use it to seize the means of production to “ease” the shortage.

This shows why electing Romney is, literally, a matter of life and death for all of us. Just imagine being in the hospital for serious surgery, badly needing those drugs, and not being able to get them BECAUSE OBAMA Is STILL POTUS.

Just another of the many fronts on which Obama and his installed minions are attacking the private enterprises that are at the heart of our economy. They are and will DO ANYTHING to weaken and demoralize our country, its economy and its citizens.

Do not think otherwise, because this is becoming more and more obviously true. Actions speak far louder than words.

Matthew 7:15-20, KJV

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

The whole vile bunch are already mass murderers due to Fast and Furious. Now they’re getting ready to increase their score by denying necessary drugs to people who dsperately need them. Clinton was vile, but there’s never been such a pure evil, totally anti-American POTUS as this utterly degraded subhuman thing.

Gee, but I thought the common knowledge was that Romney was just as bad as Obama because he is a RINO / not conservative?
