This is the speech Obammy should give

[Rooster]

WASHINGTON— Calling it a "poorly conceived and irresponsible piece of legislation, pure and simple," President Obama made a public pledge to voters Tuesday that, if reelected, he would fight to repeal the recently upheld Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

In an address to the nation broadcast live from the White House, the president promised voters in sharp, forceful terms that the very first act of his second term would be to "strike down this unjust and unconstitutional law," which he said would place "an unacceptable burden on hardworking Americans."

"Citizens going to the polls in November should know that if they reelect me, they will not have to face the consequences of this bloated, oppressive act," said Obama, who called the legislation a "906-page monstrosity." "This law isn't merely an attack on our current health care system. It's an attack on our core values and what it means to be an American. And mark my words, an Obama administration will support those values, not destroy them."

"Frankly, this toxic plan is just another needless tax to pay—nothing more, nothing less," Obama continued. "It's harmful and it's wrong and I won't stand for it."

Blasting members of Congress for "voting to vastly overstep government authority," Obama said that under his leadership the federal government would not "reach into the pockets of honest taxpayers" to pay for the extension of health care benefits enacted by the legislation.

Obama added that if the plan goes into effect, it is "100 percent guaranteed" to bankrupt the United States within 10 years.

Proponents of the health care act have yet to respond to the president's numerous criticisms of the law, which he claimed would increase insurance premiums and force every American to receive subpar medical treatment.

"I'm going to say it in plain English: I will not let Obamacare stunt job growth, drive up the cost of health care, and cripple our economy—I simply won't let it happen," the president said. "Come November, should I be reelected, it will be my great pleasure to walk into the Oval Office, take my pen in hand, and sign a big 'adios' repealing this grave threat to our country's future."

Added Obama, "That is a promise you can take to the voting booth."


Obama wins in a landslide. Well, not really, but at least maybe he wouldn't go down in history as a worse president than Carter.

[Derron]

Obama wins in a landslide. Well, not really, but at least maybe he wouldn't go down in history as a worse president than Carter.

The fuck he will be known as the worst president even without a second term.

[LTS TRN 2]

Barry may well be the most confusing and confounding president ever, but Carter was a solid representative of what that office holder was supposed to be. Sure, he made a dreadful decision to boycott the Olympics, but the Iran debacle was not his making--though he should have manned up and denied the dying Shah entrance to the U.S. Of course with our nation's history of having installed the vile puppet in the first place (with the FULL blessings of the fake apartheid state in the region) it was not to be. But if the rescue operation had succeeded Carter would have been viewed (by the utterly cow-like and simplistic public) as a hero. Let's bear in mind that the American economy started collapsing exactly when Reagan and his criminal gang took office. Sure, it took a couple of decades, but here we are reaping the rewards of Milton Friedman, Alan Greenspan, and similar nice Irish boys whose malignant model of rapacious profiteering has the entire world economy on the brink as we speak.

As for Barry's healthcare plan, I agree that he bent over for the insurance industry and has turned what could and should be a viable plan into a crapulent howl.

But...are you really willing to suggest that the robot from Kolob is somehow a better alternative? I didn't think so. Or...at least i notice that absolutely no one anywhere has suggested anything good about him. Isn't that a bit scary?

[Van]

"crapulent howl" was kinda cool.

[Dinsdale]

Carter/Obama is a good comparison -- they both routinely confuse the Constitution for toilet paper.

Department of Education? Really? Which part of the Constitution grants that power to the fed?

Department of Energy? How's that working out for us?

Raygun inherited the early stages of some really disasterous actions of his predecessor... then made them worse.

[War Wagon]

Let's bear in mind that the American economy started collapsing exactly when Reagan and his criminal gang took office.

as usual, you're full of shit.

On assuming office in 1977, President Carter inherited an economy that was slowly emerging from a recession. He had severely criticized former President Ford for his failures to control inflation and relieve unemployment, but after four years of the Carter presidency, both inflation and unemployment were considerably worse than at the time of his inauguration. The annual inflation rate rose from 4.8% in 1976 to 6.8% in 1977, 9% in 1978, 11% in 1979, and hovered around 12% at the time of the 1980 election campaign. Although Carter had pledged to eliminate federal deficits, the deficit for the fiscal year 1979 totaled $27.7 billion, and that for 1980 was nearly $59 billion. With approximately 8 million people out of work, the unemployment rate had leveled off to a nationwide average of about 7.7% by the time of the election campaign, but it was considerably higher in some industrial states.

If the economy was in such great shape under Carter, why do you suppose Reagan thumped him in a landslide?

[mvscal]

Carter was a solid representative of what that office holder was supposed to be.

A piss stained Christer bitch?

[Van]

Possibly, but what I think he really meant was a Skynyrd fan.

[LTS TRN 2]

No one is suggesting that the president should be able to stem inflation or increase employment. He can help, provide guidance and offer a powerful voice from his podium. But what really makes a good--and perhaps great--president is to simply be an honest man, for starters. Consider the number of convictions during Carter's term--and notice the petty nature these crimes:

1977–1981 James E. Carter Administration
Executive Branch

Debategate: briefing book of President Jimmy Carter stolen and given to Ronald Reagan before U.S. presidential election, 1980
Bert Lance (D), Director of OMB, resigned amidst allegations of misuse of funds during the sale of a Georgia bank to BCCI. No charges were ever filed.(1977)


Okay, that's it. And notice that there's nothing remotely connected to Carter personally.

Now let's look at Reagan--and notice the harrowing treasonous nature of many of these crimes:

1989–1993 George H. W. Bush Administration
Executive Branch

George H. W. Bush (R) President. during his election campaign, Bush denied any knowledge of the Iran Contra Affair by saying he was "out of the loop." But his own diaries of that time stated "I'm one of the few people that know fully the details ..." He repeatedly refused to disclose this to investigators and won the election.
Catalina Vasquez Villalpando, (R) Treasurer of the United States. Pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice and tax evasion. The only US Treasurer ever sent to prison. (1992)[146]

Travelgate, involving the firing of White House travel agents. In 1998 Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr (R) exonerated President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton of any involvement .

Okay, certainly not in the league of Reagan, but still obviously a serious criminal. Throw in Lady Macbeth and hey, let's have a Permanent War.

Of course the Chimp 'n Cheney were dedicated to thoroughly criminalizing the presidency and what an impressive job they did:

2001–2009 George W. Bush Administration

But the intelligence and the facts were being fixed around the policy" The press called this the 'smoking gun."
Yellowcake forgery: Just prior to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration presented evidence to the UN that Iraq was seeking material (yellowcake uranium) in Africa for making nuclear weapons. Though presented as true, it was later found to be not only dubious, but outright false.

The United States House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, concluded that "Many of the funds appear to have been lost to corruption and waste.... Some of the funds could have enriched both criminals and insurgents...." Henry Waxman, commented, "Who in their right mind would send 363 tons of cash into a war zone?"

Scully resigned on December 16, 2003.
NSA warrantless surveillance – Shortly after the September 11 attacks in 2001, President George W. Bush (R) implemented a secret program by the National Security Agency to eavesdrop on domestic telephone calls by American citizens without warrants, thus by-passing the FISA court which must approve all such actions.

state that the First Amendment and Fourth Amendments and the Takings Clause do not apply to the president in time of war as defined in the USA PATRIOT Act[
allow Enhanced Interrogation Techniques (torture) because provisions of the War Crimes Act, the Third Geneva Convention, and the Torture convention do not apply.

Many of his memos have since been repudiated and reversed. Later review by the Justice Department reported that Yoo and Jay Bybee used "poor judgement" in the memos, but no charges have yet been filed.


Okay, being Satan, surely Barry has a list?...:

2009– Obama Administration
Executive Branch

Eric Holder (D) Attorney General, was held in Contempt of Congress after a debate in the Republican-led House of Representatives after refusing to turn over all of the documents demanded concerning the Fast and Furious gun walking operation.
Terence Flynn (R) an appointee of Barack Obama to the National Labor Relations Board resigned in May, 2012 after being accused of serious ethical violations by leaking information to the National Association of Manufacturers.
Martha N. Johnson (D) head of the General Services Administration fired two top GSA officials and then resigned herself after it was revealed that $822,000 had been spent in Las Vegas on a four day training conference for 300 GSA employees.




I realize that the list of criminality of Reagan and Chimp require a lot of reading--and this is just the merest skim of these shocking cases. The point is clearly made, however, as to the basic criminal approach to higher office as envisioned and enacted by the GOP. The record speaks for itself--and Carter is revealed as an honest man and an honorable president.

[Truman]

I'm not reading all of that.

You're still a deranged, psychotic asshole.

Does that help?

[LTS TRN 2]

Go ahead and hide your little head in the folds of your fear, you timid twit. The facts are staring you in face.
