Thanks Mr. President, Now I'm Convinced

He's a great salesman, that Barack Obama. Gifted, charming, intelligent, and so in charge. Yes, after 29, or is it 30, speeches on the topic of healthcare reform, President Obama has finally sold me. He has convinced me that he is a full-throated liar and his pants are on fire. Rep. Wilson was right when he blurted this out in the presidents speech last night however in cordial.

When the president looks you straight in the eyes and tells you that illegal immigrants will not be covered under ObamaCare, he is lying. It is at least a fib, and he knows it. Unless he really cannot tell the difference between not asking if you are here illegally before you receive services or explicitly covering them in the bill. This is the healthcare equivalent of 'Don't ask, don't tell."

We must also suspend reality when we are asked to believe that this plan will not add "one dime to our deficits, either now or in the future." BS. Only he and his cronies in the White House believe this to be true. The Congressional Budget Office has determined it will add at least $230 billion over ten years. And the waste and fraud he hopes to eliminate to help pay for all of this? Forget about it. Ain't gonna happen. But if they do come up short on "savings" he's going to come back and make more cuts. He promised. This is the same man who promised us more transparency, no more earmarks, and no lobbyists in his White House (just tax cheats).

He does admit that "there remain some significant details to be ironed out", but let's not quibble over small ball when we can pass legislation that will solidify the president and Ted Kennedy's legacies. Unfortunately for President Obama, it has been the details that have disrupted his attempted end around the American people. He never imagined that someone, let alone thousands, would read the fine print in 1,000 plus pages of legislation already passed in the House of Representatives. It is in the details where we uncover the hidden gems of universal coverage, taxpayer funded abortions, and end-of-life counseling.

And by the way, Mr. President, if your healthcare plans are so necessary and so urgent, why then does this all not start until 2013? Transparency indeed.
