Cuba’s Former Communist Leader Fidel Castro Endorses Obamacare
America, how is that “Hopey, Changey” stuff working out for you?
WOW, finally President Barack Hussein Obama has garnered bipartisan support for his government take over of healthcare. Was it a Republican Congressman? NOPE. Was it WE THE PEOPLE? NOPE.
Obamacare gets a ringing endorsement from Cuba’s Fidel Castro.
It perhaps was not the endorsement President Barack Obama and the Democrats in Congress were looking for.
Cuban revolutionary leader Fidel Castro on Thursday declared passage of American health care reform “a miracle” and a major victory for Obama’s presidency, but couldn’t help chide the United States for taking so long to enact what communist Cuba achieved decades ago.
“We consider health reform to have been an important battle and a success of his (Obama’s) government,” Castro wrote in an essay published in state media, adding that it would strengthen the president’s hand against lobbyists and “mercenaries.”
That should give you a warm fuzzy America and tell you all you need to know about Obamacare and the Democrats attempt to take over health care. Do you still think it’s not socialism? Especially when it gets the endorsement of a socialist?
But wait America, Castro is not pleased with Obama with his leadership on climate change and immigration reform.
Question is, will Barack Obama disappoint to Communist buddy?

Al Sharpton, “The American public overwhelmingly voted for socialism when they elected President Obama”
Take a good listen to Democrat Al Sharpton folks. This is from his lips to your ears. Those on the right have been demonized for calling Obama a socialist. Al Sharpton has just told all America that President Barack Hussein Obama is a socialist.
Not only is Obama a socialist … you wanted him to be a socialist America.
Question America, did you vote for socialism when you voted for Barack Hussein Obama? Was that the “hope & change” you were looking for?
“The American public overwhelming voted for socialism when they elected President Obama“
Sharpton went on to say that Obama ran on health reform and was overwhelmingly elected on that and he has delivered what he promised. Really Al, LIAR! Because you Al have all the credibility in the world. Can we just say Tawana Brawley.
So the mind set is that just because he ran on health care, that any form of socialized medicine and government take over of health care was ok. Even though there was no transparency, no bipartisan dealings, no health care on CSPAN and no change of the way Washington, DC does business. By the way Al, Obama also promised that health care reform would lower the cost of premiums, it does not do that either.
It is obvious from the polling data that America did not want to elect a socialist, nor did they want the health care reform that Obama delivered.
America ask yourself … DID YOU VOTE FOR SOCIALISM WHEN YOU ELECTED BARACK OBAMA?
If America really knew what Obama was all about and did not listen to the state-run media lies that Obama was a moderate and a uniter, he never would have won the Democrat primary, let alone the Presidency.
You can RIGHT that WRONG this November and in 2012.
If you did not, you best start voting out of office all the Democrats that give him his power in 2010 and in 2012 … put Barack Obama on the unemployment line as well.

PELOSI & HOUSE DEMOCRATS RAM THROUGH SOCIALIST OBAMACARE 219-212
The House Democrats with their fearless leads Nancy Pelosi have rammed through Obamacare against the will of the people 219-212.
The tyranny that was perpetrated upon the American people today will not be soon or ever forgotten. Not one Republican voted for the government take over of health care and the trillion dollar budget busting boondoggle.
You might celebrate your treachery tonight Dems, you will be crying in 2010, 2012 and every two years thereafter. Your insolence and complete disregard against the will of the American people will never be forgotten.
Obama hope and change.
Say goodbye to bipartisan politics in DC forever. All brought to you by the President who claimed to be a moderate and would reach across the aisle. Obama is the most partisan President ever and has done harm to Washington, DC for decades to come.

Learning from History? The Big Lie … CBO Says that Obamacare is Deficit Neutral, Just Look at Medicare’s Projections
If we do not learn from the past, we are only destined to repeat it.
Folks, if you believe that Obamacare will be deficit neutral and save money from our federal deficits, I have some swamp land and a bridge to sell you. According to the latest CBO, they state that it is deficit neutral, but with some real accounting issues.
The CBO report was key because President Obama and the Democrats had promised to have a deficit neutral bill. Had the CBO report said the plan would increase the deficit it almost certainly would have meant the end of reform. Instead the report shows the bill generating more revenue than it spends through a number of means including reduction in fraud and waste.
CBO report can be seen HERE.
If any private accounting firm ever used such tactics as are included in the CBO’s analysis, they would be jailed. As reported at the WAPO, Democrats got the score they needed. Of course they did, the fudged the numbers. You can manipulate any number to look the way you want by subtracting reality. Forget all of the nuances, the deals, the lies and the spin. Think of this in basic form and consider if you had done something similar in your own life.
Obamacare if passed today and signed into law by President Barack Hussein Obama does not take effect until 2014. However, the taxes and other means of raising money for this health care reform boondoggle take effect immediately.
How many of you would pay for a car for four years and not have the use of it? How many of you would make payments on your cell phone of blackberry and not have the use of it until four years later? Who out there pays four years of a mortgage and lives in another home?
What’s the difference?
How could anything be considered deficit neutral if you take in monies for 10 years and only pay out for a 6 year time period? Come on folks, try having your account do that one with your IRS tax returns and see what happens.
Also, such things like the doctor fix are not even included in the CBO. Tell me what Congress in the future is going to tell seniors that they are cutting medicare? What happens when they don’t? The cost of Obamacare is not deficit neutral. Not by a long shot. This bill has more accounting schemes in it like Arthur Anderson, World Com, Enron, Global Crossing and Bernie Madoff all rolled up into one.
As this so-called historic health care vote nears a victory for Obama, it is America that loses for not learning from history.
Let’s compare Obamacare’s promises to Medicare. If we do not learn from the past, we are only destined to repeat it. An estimate is just that, an estimate. When there are things purposely left out the fudge the numbers, the estimate is even worse. Check out the estimates of Medicare. Ever wonder why Medicare is going bankrupt? Because the estimates were wrong. So Obamacare could never be the same, right?
Medicare (hospital insurance). In 1965, as Congress considered legislation to establish a national Medicare program, the House Ways and Means Committee estimated that the hospital insurance portion of the program, Part A, would cost about $9 billion annually by 1990.v Actual Part A spending in 1990 was $67 billion. The actuary who provided the original cost estimates acknowledged in 1994 that, even after conservatively discounting for the unexpectedly high inflation rates of the early ‘70s and other factors, “the actual [Part A] experience was 165% higher than the estimate.”
Medicare (entire program). In 1967, the House Ways and Means Committee predicted that the new Medicare program, launched the previous year, would cost about $12 billion in 1990. Actual Medicare spending in 1990 was $110 billion— off by nearly a factor of 10.
Medicaid DSH program. In 1987, Congress estimated that Medicaid’s disproportionate share hospital (DSH) payments—which states use to provide relief to hospitals that serve especially large numbers of Medicaid and uninsured patients—would cost less than $1 billion in 1992. The actual cost that year was a staggering $17 billion. Among other things, federal lawmakers had failed to detect loopholes in the legislation that enabled states to draw significantly more money from the federal treasury than they would otherwise have been entitled to claim under the program’s traditional 50-50 funding scheme.
Medicare home care benefit. When Congress debated changes to Medicare’s home care benefit in 1988, the projected 1993 cost of the benefit was $4 billion. The actual 1993 cost was more than twice that amount, $10 billion.
Imagine if we project the same miscalculations to Obamacare.
However, the ultimate danger of Obamacare is once America sees how much damage that this has done to our budget and country, it will be too late to fix. This is why Barack Obama and the Democrats defied the will of the people and were willing to act like suicide bombers. This was their intention all along.
Obama’s intention all along was … single payer universal health care.
Obama has always been a proponent of single payer health care
Obama admits his health care plan will eliminate private health care over time
One thing is for certain. A historic vote today will mean a historic and epic loss in the 2010 midterms. If Democrats want to be in denial, that is fine. Rest assured they will not know what hit them after the votes are counted. By Obama, Pelosi and Reid ramming this vote down American’s throats against the will of the people, even more races just came into play.

Barack Obama Finally Has Jobs Bill, 16,000 New IRS Workers Will Be Needed for Obamacare
President Obama to increase the role of the IRS into your personal lives thanks to Obamacare. The IRS Cometh …
President Barack Obama stated in his State of the Union address that his second year in office would be all about jobs and trying to reduce the national 10% unemployment rate. However, ever since the SOTU Obama has focused entirely upon his unpopular government run health care plan. WE THE PEOPLE have stated in every poll that the People are against it, yet Obama, Pelosi and Reid have ignored the will of the people and we face a vote today in the House on Obamacare.
WAIT, it looks like President Barack Hussein Obama finally is addressing jobs via the Obamcare plan. The One looks to add 16,500 IRS Agents to enforce Obama care. NICE. Think it’s not about government take over and control folks? What part about the IRS does not reek of government control? So much for HIPAA.
Who honestly believes having the IRS involves in your health care is a good thing? As the Capital One commercials state, which will soon be the IRS/Obamacare slogan … what’s in your wallet?
Today, Rep. Dave Camp and Ways and Means Republicans released a new report detailing how the Democrats’ health care bill vastly expands the responsibilities of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and strengthens the heavy hand of the IRS in dealing with taxpayers.
“If the Democrats’ health care bill becomes law, the IRS could have to hire more than 16,000 additional agents, auditors and other workers just to enforce all the new taxes and penalties,” said Ways and Means Ranking Member Dave Camp (R-MI). “It is a dangerous expansion of the IRS’s power and reach into the lives of virtually every American.”
Highlights of report, which is entitled “The Wrong Prescription: Democrats’ Health Overhaul Dangerously Expands IRS Authority,” include:
• IRS agents verify if you have “acceptable” health care coverage;
• IRS has the authority to fine you up to $2,250 or 2 percent of your income (whichever is greater) for failure to prove that you have purchased “minimum essential coverage;”
• IRS can confiscate your tax refund;
