So Who Is NOT Watching ABC Tomorrow?

Frankly, I am tired of seeing the President on tv. I could care less if I hear another lie come out of his mouth. He is spending the whole hour trying in effect to "SELL" his health care plan to the nation. I will personally be boycotting ABC and their so obvious bias. Some of the lies he will probably tell: Lie #1: "You can keep your coverage." Put a public option on the table and that becomes an outright lie as companies will naturally have to readjust policies. Lie #2: "Your quality of health care will remain the same." Ha Ha. We already know what kind of "quality" the government health care plan provides. Just look at how military veterans are treated. This is AKA Tri-Care. Lie #3: "We will not increase taxes for 95% of middle America." While he might not make this specific statement, it is true that in order to pay for this, taxes will go up on certain products that have been deemed "bad" for America. Consider this as well, the working class will carry the burden for those who are unemployed. With unemployment rates expected to top 10% by the end of the summer, that is a lot of burden on the tax payers alone to pay for the rest of the population. That is unless they expect people to take that money out of their unemployment checks. Lie #4: "This will make insurance companies more competitive." This is actually a partial lie. The public option will have some advantages built into it. If the public option runs out of money, it can go to the government for a handout. If a private insurance company runs out of money, it goes bankrupt, resulting in a loss of coverage for thousands and essentially forcing those thousands to sign-up for this public option. Second, the public option will be able to operate at a loss, making premiums dirt cheap (sacrificing the price of quality and not paying for all those expensive procedures). Private companies simply can not operate at a loss. So I simply refuse to hear any more sorry lies and pathetic excuses of why we need this done now. It does not need to be done now. It needs to be done when more Americans are working, the economy is far more stable, and when Congress has spent more than a measly month throwing this together. I for one am no longer buying the "I haven't read it before I passed it" excuse. Thank God for the numerous other channels who are offering so many options for our viewing pleasure.

Is he going to be on TV again?? Seems to me like he's abusing his access to the public airwaves. I won't be watching; I have more important things to do.

UP a Creek - This is where we're all headed if 0bama gets his way with his force everyone to have health care plan
A web article I read sums it up best:"But Obama, in his Bob the Builder campaign designed to appeal to the toddler in every American, offers a plan that is all gain and no pain: subsidized health insurance for anyone who wants to buy it, whenever they want to buy it. More money, more choice, no cost. Gee, what's not to like? "Bob the Builder tactics. I love the way that is worded. Subsidized: Meaning sub-standard. Below standards. Read: Jungles of Africa will have better health care than we will. We are one of the top nations in the world and 0bama wants to reduce us all to grass huts in the jungles with faulty eqipment and sub-par care.

I'm not watching that state run propaganda, I know what universal health care means and it ain't good when you read between the lines.
