September 10, 2009 - OBAMA'S LATEST HEALTH CARE SPEECH

I am sure a lot of people tuned in to hear Obama's latest speech on health care reform.

He was a little more specific in stating what the plan will include...if he can be believed...and it was not just a bunch of pretty words by a great orator.

He says that he will reduce the fraud and unnecessary elements out of medicare, etc. If you remember, he stated in one of his campaign speeches that he was going to go line by line and take out all of the unnecessary earmarks of upcoming bills. Did he do that? No...he added a whole bunch of unnecessary ones and did not take out a single one. He has made a lot of pretty speeches that have not been backed up by "action." Since being in office, he has not reduced anything in any bill but has signed off on bills that are "loaded" with unnecessary items that could wait until we get in better financial shape.

I do not think he acted very Presidential when he sternly accused the media and Republicans in spreading untruths about his bill. He acted as if he had been extremely explicit, during past speeches, on what was going to be in the health care bill and that the bill itself was easy for people to understand. He tried to imply that everyone was being stubborn and partisan in not going along with him. The problem has been that he has been extremely ambiguous about the bill which has been declared as being indiscernible by educated people. He is amazing!
