House Democrats Pass Nationalized Government Run Health care … Democrats Win, Constitution & America Loses

Good God, what have they done? What have Nancy Pelosi and House Democrats just done to America and the Constitution?

House Democrats have just passed their nationalized health care bill. The bill passed 220 – 215. So much for that bipartisanship that President Obama promised. 176 Republicans voted against the bill, a long with 39 Democrats voted in opposition to nationalized healthcare.

In the end it was the opposition to the Democrats nationalized take over of health care by Republicans and 39 Democrats that was the bi-partisan vote, not it’s passage.

A triumphant Speaker Nancy Pelosi likened the legislation to the passage of Social Security in 1935 and Medicare 30 years later.

“It provides coverage for 96 percent of Americans. It offers everyone, regardless of health or income, the peace of mind that comes from knowing they will have access to affordable health care when they need it,” said Rep. John Dingell, the 83-year-old Michigan lawmaker who has introduced national health insurance in every Congress since succeeding his father in 1955

America, ask yourself this … how does a healthcare bill that claims to reform and cover individuals cost $1.2 trillion and only provide coverage to 96% of Americans? One would say that only 4% of Americans really don’t have health care in the United States when you factor out illigals and those that did not want health care coverage as a choice.

The Imperial (Democrat) Congress (see vote result here) has just taken the first step to push down the throats of Americans nationalized healthcare care. A victory for the Democrat party and a loss for America and Americans.

The Gateway Pundit has more.

Michelle Malkin’s Live Blogging the event, or should we say circus.

Our Founding Fathers are rolling over in their collective graves tonight.

Don’t ever forget what just happened and who was responsible for this partisan government take over of 1/6th of the US economy. Hear Nancy Pelosi’s words loud and clear. The extremist bill coming out of the Imperial Congress was completely endorsed by the so-called moderate President Barack Obama.

“Oh what a night,” Speaker Nancy Pelosi said moments after the vote, after fielding a congratulatory call from President Barack Obama. “Without President Obama in the White House, this victory would not have been possible. He provided the vision and the momentum for us to get the job done for the American people.”

Obama has made health care reform his signature legislative priority — and he put his personal prestige on the line Saturday by traveling to the Capitol to rally Democrats, telling them to “answer the call of history” by passing the bill.

Election have consequences and this is what happens when you do not pay attention and vote for a social science project rather than understanding the policies of a candidate. How many people would have voted for Democrats and Obama last November if they knew this bill would be crammed down their throats?

How irresponsible could a Congress be? With 10.2% unemployment, people loses their jobs, their homes and struggling mightily … Imperial Congress passes a bill that would cost $1.2 trillion to an already out of control deficit. And it still would not cover every American. WAKE UP AMERICA!!! Wasn’t that the supposed purpose of the bill in the first place? To cover all Americans! Wake up, the point of the bill was to control you.

UPDATE I: Here’s some joke journalism from the Washington Post … get this, they are trying to pass the House vote off as bi-partisan. UNREAL! More from the state controlled media WAPO:

After months of acrimonious partisanship, Democrats closed ranks on a 220-215 vote that included 39 defections, mostly from the party’s conservative ranks. But the bill attracted a surprise Republican convert: Rep. Anh “Joseph” Cao of Louisiana, who represents the Democratic-leaning district of New Orleans and had been the target of a last-minute White House lobbying campaign. GOP House leaders had predicted their members would unanimously oppose the bill.

As pointed out by Powerline, it was the charade of the Stupak Amendment that allowed any of this to occur. Do you honestly think Democrats are not going to add paid abortion back to this bill?

Welcome to Obamaland and Queen Pelosi … Buy $15,000 Government Run Obamacare or Go to Jail … Unreal

This is completely out of control!!! When are you going to say enough is enough!!!

Welcome to the Socialist Republic of Obama. This is what you have to look forward to with a government take over of your health care. Buy the government plan or face jail. Is this the hope and change you voted for? You may want to contact your US House Representative and given them a peace of your mind. Could you imagine, jail time for a citizen of the United States for not purchasing a government run health plan?

Buy my government run health plan or I’ll put you in jail my pretty and your dog to

I am sure the Founding Fathers and the framers of the US Constitution had this in mind when they founded out country. Welcome to the Obama Matrix. Oh, but as Classic Values reminds us, there is nothing to worry about because the President promised that his health insurance plan would not be compulsory

Today, Ranking Member of the House Ways and Means Committee Dave Camp (R-MI) released a letter from the non-partisan Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) confirming that the failure to comply with the individual mandate to buy health insurance contained in the Pelosi health care bill (H.R. 3962, as amended) could land people in jail.  The JCT letter  makes clear that Americans who do not maintain “acceptable health insurance coverage” and who choose not to pay the bill’s new individual mandate tax (generally 2.5% of income), are subject to numerous civil and criminal penalties, including criminal fines of up to $250,000 and imprisonment of up to five years.

Think it could not happen? Read the bill …

H.R. 3962 provides that an individual (or a husband and wife in the case of a joint return) who does not, at any time during the taxable year, maintain acceptable health insurance coverage for himself or herself and each of his or her qualifying children is subject to an additional tax.” [page 1]

                                                                             

“If the government determines that the taxpayer’s unpaid tax liability results from willful behavior, the following penalties could apply…” [page 2]

Latest Pelosi-care 1900 Page Health Care Govenmnet Take Over Bill Gets 42% in Favor … 54% Disapprove

Last week Democrat Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi released a 1900 page piece of Government Health Care take over legislation. Needless to say, it may have been even worse than the previous 1500 page Boondoggle.

Who will pay for this socialist healthcare? The rich. If you really believe that only the rich will be paying for this ridiculous bill that does nothing to help insure individuals, we have a bridge to sell you as well.

In the most recent Rasmussen poll, only 42% of voters favor Pelosicare. 54% now oppose the Obamacare healthcare takeover, up 3%.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi introduced the House version of health care reform legislation last week, but most voters are still opposed to the effort.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 42% now favor the health care plan proposed by President Obama and congressional Democrats. That’s down from 45% a week ago but unchanged from two weeks ago.

Rush Limbaugh on Fox News Sunday … Barack Obama is the Man-Child President … Obama is Immature, Inexperienced & In Over his Head

Conservative Talk Show host blasts Barack Obama as being the “Man-Child President”. Rush states that Obama is immature and that he is a child.

“He has a five minute career. He was in the senate for 150 days. He was a community organizer in Chicago for however number of years.  He really has no experience running anything. He is very young. I think he has got an out of this world ego. I think he is very narcissistic. He’s able to focus all attention on him all the time.”

“He is immature, inexperienced and in over his head.”

Chris Wallace asks Rush, it has been one year since Barack Obama was elected President, what has be done for and to the country?

Rush’s answer is, it has been all to the Country, not for the country. This administration is trying to destroy the economy and it has to be on purpose. Denial on Liberty and attack on Freedom. Rush states that the country has lost 3.3 million jobs since Obama’s stimulus plan, yet Obama trumpets these so-called 650,000 saved or created jobs. It would be difficult at best to praise Obama’s efforts with the economy when 10% unemployment looms on the horizon.

Chris Wallace asks, what about Obama saving the country from financial abyss and the 3.5% growth in GDP. Rush aptly and correctly responds that this is a myth and that there was no growth. The 3.5% reported growth this past Friday was the equivalent of a Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme. Talk about government propped up financials.

Rush states, “there wasn’t any growth in the private sector. That 3.5% growth came from two things, government spending on cash for clunkers. They just moved fourth quarter auto sales into the third quarter. And the first time home buyer thing. There is no private sector growth. There were no new jobs created, we are losing them.”

Chris Wallace: How about kept the country safe for 9 months? Rush responded with a laugh and then stated, “I don’t know how safe we are … Iran is nuking up … We can’t make up out mind in Afghanistan, we are dithering there”.

UK: Guilty Until Proved not a Pedophile … Parents Being Banned from Watching their Children in Play Grounds

So you think government is the answer to all your problems, eh?

Wow, in Great Britain you are a pedophile until proved innocent. Can you imagine not being allowed to watch your children at a park or playground until you were vetted by police and given the proper papers? Think there is not a slippery slope to giving away your right to the government? You might want to rethink that.

Sorry Johnny, you can see your parents after their back ground check clears

In Great Britain we have a perfect example of an over-reaching government interjecting them self in to simple common every day life like going to the play ground. Obviously child predators are an issue and keeping children safe; however, this is hardly the answer. Go after the PERVS, not the parents!

Parents are being banned from playing with their children in council recreation areas because they have not been vetted by police.

Mothers and fathers are being forced to watch their children from outside perimeter fences because of fears they could be paedophiles.

RUT-ROH … CNN Does the Obama - Jimmy Carter “Malaise” Comparison … He Will Soon Have the Double Digit Unemployment

Let’s see, Obama is inexperienced, high unemployment, record deficits, cannot make a decision, week on foreign policy, leans toward socialism and apologizes for America. Yup, that would be the Carter Administration.

CNN states, “Is it morning in America, or has hope given way to malaise?” My how the mighty Obama star has fallen. First Obama had comparisons made of him to Richard Nixon and the enemies list with Obama’s ridiculous war against FOX News and the smack down that the White House received from the WH media press pool. Now comparisons of the Obamamessiah to Jimmy Carter and malaise. What’s next, will CNN dare compare Obama to GWB?

Nearly a year after the presidential election, the excitement of Barack Obama’s campaign has faded into the reality of an Obama White House.

As observers try to determine what time it is in American politics, they arrive at opposite conclusions.

To some, said Tulane University political scientist Thomas Langston, Obama is like Jimmy Carter, and the nation will soon hammer the nails into the coffin of a dying Democratic coalition just as voters, tired of the Carter “malaise” era, handed the White House to Republicans in 1980.

Barack Obama … the new Jimmy Carter? The comparisons are certainly there. What is perceived as a nice person, but an inexperienced and ineffectual President. Both of which were overwhelmed by the job and were disastrous for American both home and abroad.

Shortly after taking office, Carter’s approval rating peaked at 75 percent but dropped to the low 40s in a little more than a year. He entered office weighed down by a sagging economy, and eventually, the energy crisis, the Soviet Union’s invasion of Afghanistan and the Iranian hostage crisis took a toll on his administration.

61% of Americans Believe Obama Did not Deserve Nobel Peace Prize … How About the Heisman?

Mandate … 61% of Americans believe that President Barack Obama did not deserve to win the Nobel Peace Prize. 34% of those poll said Obama dreamed of doing something deserving at some point in his life, while 6% had no opinion and were watching reruns of The Bachelor.

It was predictable how Republicans would side in this matter; however, look at Independents. By a 66% to 27% margin, middle of the roaders said Obama in no way deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. More interesting was that only 59% of Democrats said that Obama deserved the award. Hmm.

The Norwegian Nobel Committee’s Oct. 9 announcement that President Obama had received the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize caught the world by surprise. One Associated Press report on the day of the announcement was headlined, “Gasps as Obama Awarded Peace Prize.” Those startled by the announcement apparently included Obama himself, who said he was “surprised and deeply humbled” by the award.

They say Americans are can-do people. But “can” and “do” are not one and the same. 

Americans seem to understandably believe that he has not “done” it, at least not yet. That he can, sure. But Americans believe, sometimes desperately, in meritocracy. And most Americans don’t believe the president merits this honor.

How many believe that Obama should win the Heisman? How about the MVP of the Baseball World Series? The libs at the Nobel Peace Prize org did Obama no favors in further pointing out to the American people that Barack is provided favoritism for doing nothing.

Obama White House Tries to Ban FOX News From Press Pool … MSM Backs Fox and Obama WH Backs Down

The thin skinned, baby & Chief …

Obama has finally bitten off more than he can chew and has severely over played his hand. MSM slaps Obama White House hand and Obama WH backs down. What is this president going to do when the Press turns on him?

Now this White House was going to ban a single News organization from an interview? To the LEFT, who knew hope and change meant Richard Nixon and an enemies list?

What is wrong with this White House? How childish and small, let alone Unconstitutional could they possible be? Obama’s war on FOX News has come to this game of chicken where the White House tried to bar Fox News from interviewing pay czar Kenneth Feinberg  As Hot Air states, which act of this White House is the most disgraceful? Can we choose all of the below?

Decide for yourself what the most disgraceful aspect of this is. Was it the fact that Gibbs told Jake Tapper explicitly on Monday that the White House wouldn’t try to dictate to the press pool who should and shouldn’t be included — before doing precisely that? Was it Anita Dunn going out of her way to say she respects Major Garrett as a fair reporter — before the administration decided he didn’t deserve a crack here at Feinberg? Or was it the repeated insistence by Dunn and Axelrod that of course the administration will make its officials available to Fox — before pulling the plug today?

KUDOS to the Washington bureau chiefs of the five TV news networks who stepped in an agreed to skip the interview if FOX News was not included. When push comes to shove, all of the MSM is in it together no matter what party in in office.

 Obama White House gets slapped down by the MSM. Media sides with FOX News over Obama White House

Barack Obama actually complained and whined about Fox News in a secret closed door White House meeting with the so-called real media that had the likes of MSNBC’s Maddow and Olbermann present? There’s some credibility you can believe in.

As Hot Air states, I though the President was not losing any sleep over this? So then why would he assemble his MSM lapdogs together in a whine-fest? Did Maureen Dowd bring the brie? Obama doen’t lose sleep over this? Are you kidding, he is obsessed with it!

NewsBusters brings is via CNN and Anderson Cooper the unthinkable … CNN comparing Barack Obama, The One, The Obamamessiah is Richard Nixon. Wow, that’s going to leave a mark.

How do you know that the White House’s anti-Fox News campaign has gone seriously wrong? When CNN, let alone Anderson Cooper, begins to compare the Obama and Nixon administrations. 

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi Unfavorable Rating at 58%

Before Obamacare is even rammed down the throats of Americans against their will, Democrat Speaker of the House finds herself with a 58% unfavorable rating. 58%!!! Blue dog Democrats, do you really want to do the bidding of a San Francisco liberal who is nearing 60% unfavorable? The only other person close to Pelosi’s high unfavorable is Democrat Senate majority leader Harry Reid at 45%.

Despite months of haggling over health care reform, voters continue to view leaders in Congress in the same light. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi remains the most well known – and most disliked – of the legislature’s top leaders.

Record Deficits for Fiscal Year 2009: $1.42 Trillion … More than Triple the Record Set Last Year … BTW, Where are the Jobs?

More Obama “Hope and Change” you can believe in … Record Deficits and no Jobs!

The numbers are in and the Obama Administration has just released (on Friday of course) the latest deficit numbers. OUCH! The deficit for Fiscal Year 2009 comes in at a record $1.4 trillion. This record is more than triple from the record set just last year.

It gets better, or worse as the case may be. Obama is currently projecting a total of $9.1 trillion in the coming decade.  All this and Obama claims that Obamacare is deficit neutral. Do you really believe that America? Interestingly enough, Harry Reid did not seem to think so.  Red State nails it, we have finally found something bigger that Obama’s ego … the budget deficit.

The Obama administration has released new deficit numbers, and they are not pretty.

The deficit for Fiscal Year 2009, which ended Sept. 30, came in at a record $1.42 trillion, more than triple the record set just last year.

In addition, future deficits are currently projected to total $9.1 trillion in the coming decade.

How much can the American tax payer and the future generations take? Wait until Obamacare, cap and tax and the rest of Obama’s socialist agenda are added to the mix. By the Way Barack, what ever happened to the jobs you promised from the $787 billion stimulus plan?

 Obama stated: “We have now lost 1.2 million jobs this year and if we don’t act swiftly and boldly most experts know believe that we could lose millions of jobs next year.” [Mr President, we did lose more jobs this year and your promise of 2.5 million jobs is a idle promise.

From the Gateway Pundit comes the following Obama promise reminder:

Last November Barack Obama promised to “create or save” 2,500,000 jobs with the record stimulus package he was planning to pass as president. He promised 2,500,000 million jobs…

But so far the democrats record “stimulus” package has only stimulated the economy enough to create only 30,000.

Wait, the exact number from The Hill is that data published Thursday showed contracts from the $787 billion economic stimulus created or saved 30,083 jobs.
