Poor Blair House

From the WH - "President Obama and lawmakers will be looking to add to the distinguished history of Blair House today at their health care summit."

Poor Blair House. Now the health scam is visited on this fine establishment. We were there in ‘64 and ‘93. Fine spot, plenty of history. Too bad.

BO had a televised seance today that was all about "bi-partisanship." BO’s problem is not with Republicans; BO’s problem is with the 38 Democrats who voted against this cancer the first time. Guess why? They want to keep their jobs. No reasonable citizens want this piece of garbage. Even the acutely partisan CNN had to publish the results of their survey (too bad they ran it) - only 30% of Americans think the plan "would help their families."

Duh? Of course there are still plenty of lefties (we know a few) who think Americans are stupid, who don’t know what’s good for them. Oh. I see. But why do most folks reject this health plan? Because when BO tells them it is good for them, they know it is a lie. In summary, BO claims the following, that his plan will "make insurance more affordable," "set up a new competitive health insurance market," and "put our budget and economy on a more stable path by reducing the deficit."

This is false, and any fool who has bothered to do a little homework knows that’s so. From Heritage Foundation fellow Bob Moffit, "The Senate bill actually increases health insurance premiums and raises taxes on the middle class by $629 billion over ten years. It destroys what little there is left of a real competitive health insurance marketplace by instituting new price controls and standard benefit packages that will turn health insurance companies into public utilities. And the plan is so riddled with deceptive budget gimmicks that the White House's non-CBO scored $950 billion price tag actually comes to $2.5 trillion once an honest accounting has been applied.."

Of course this was never about health care anyway. That was merely the vehicle for a statist’s attempt to hijack this country.
