Sowell flat out calls President Obama a "Liar" in his latest takedown of Zero.
--- Key Excerpt:
One plain fact should outweigh all the words of Barack Obama and all the impressive trappings of the setting in which he says them: He tried to rush Congress into passing a massive government takeover of the nation's medical care before the August recess-- for a program that would not take effect until 2013!
Whatever President Obama is, he is not stupid. If the urgency to pass the medical care legislation was to deal with a problem immediately, then why postpone the date when the legislation goes into effect for years-- more specifically, until the year after the next Presidential election?
If this is such an urgently needed program, why wait for years to put it into effect? And if the public is going to benefit from this, why not let them experience those benefits before the next Presidential election?
If it is not urgent that the legislation goes into effect immediately, then why don't we have time to go through the normal process of holding Congressional hearings on the pros and cons, accompanied by public discussions of its innumerable provisions? What sense does it make to "hurry up and wait" on something that is literally a matter of life and death?
If we do not believe that the President is stupid, then what do we believe? The only reasonable alternative seems to be that he wanted to get this massive government takeover of medical care passed into law before the public understood what was in it.
Moreover, he wanted to get re-elected in 2012 before the public experienced what its actual consequences would be.
Unfortunately, this way of doing things is all too typical of the way this administration has acted on a wide range of issues.
Sowell is the shiznick.
I guess Sowell is off obamma’s Christmas card list this year? (that is, if obamma has a Christmas card list at all?)
Why does it matter what the color of Dr. Sowell’s skin is?
Do they still make Kwanzaa cards?
Do they still make Kwanzaa cards?
Not take effect until 2013? really? I had not heard this. This is a bombshell.
And yes, diabolical indeed.
“Why does it matter what the color of Dr. Sowell’s skin is?”
It doesn’t — not to me, not to you, not to Freepers. It just gives the quote more visibility to the leftist DU trolls among us. Harder to brand him and dismiss him as a racist in today’s crazy political culture.
Otherwise, it’s irrelevant.
He hits the nail on the head with common sense.
These ideas need to be spread far and wide.
His comments can’t be condemned or dismissed as “racist”.
In the ‘post racial society’ we were promised it wouldn't matter one wit what color Dr. Sowell’s skin is.
If ones content of character were judged not by the color of one’s skin, then it wouldn't matter one wit what color Dr. Sowell’s skin is.
But when any and all criticism of President 0bama is accompanied by a charge of racism; pointing out that Dr. Sowell is black ..... it still doesn't matter one wit.
We love him because of what he says and does.
The left hate him even MORE because he is ‘off the plantation’.
But in the end it still doesn't matter.
Dr. Sowell is one of the greatest Americans living today. Period.
BECAUSE.... 97% of black people voted for Barry Half-White.. Duuuugh..
SMACK! Tom Sowell is an American treasure!
A caller into J. D. Hayworth’s show posited this a few weeks ago. It made perfect sense. I didn’t know until that call that it didn’t go into effect until 2013. Late enough that it doesn’t overly affect midterm elections because nothing will have changed regarding people’s health insurance (and hopefully they’ll forget about this past summer) and wouldn’t hurt Obama’s chances at re-election (or so he hopes).

Yeah I knew about the 2013 thing, but this isn’t about health care and never was, it is a sham, it is a way to add other stuff in that bill that will further hurt this country and control us—remember Rangel wants to add stuff about people who don’t pay their taxes (how ironic) into the health care bill and I bet that won’t be waiting until 2013.
