SARAH PALIN: ‘Obama Lies, Freedom Dies’

 

ABCNEWS – Obama says ObamaCare is NOT a tax, Supreme Court let’s it survive as a tax:

STEPHANOPOULOS:  You were against the individual mandate…

OBAMA:  Yes.

STEPHANOPOULOS:  …during the campaign.  Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don’t. How is that not a tax?

OBAMA:  Well, hold on a second, George. Here — here’s what’s happening.  You and I are both paying $900, on average — our families — in higher premiums because of uncompensated care.  Now what I’ve said is that if you can’t afford health insurance, you certainly shouldn’t be punished for that.  That’s just piling on. If, on the other hand, we’re giving tax credits, we’ve set up an exchange, you are now part of a big pool, we’ve driven down the costs, we’ve done everything we can and you actually can afford health insurance, but you’ve just decided, you know what, I want to take my chances.  And then you get hit by a bus and you and I have to pay for the emergency room care, that’s…

STEPHANOPOULOS:  That may be, but it’s still a tax increase.

OBAMA:  No.  That’s not true, George.  The — for us to say that you’ve got to take a responsibility to get health insurance is absolutely not a tax increase.

“you can pretty much put their campaign on, on a tweet and have some characters to spare.” Obama

“you can pretty much put their campaign on, on a tweet and have some characters to spare.” – President Obama, June 12, 2012

 

The President is right, it doesn’t take many characters to say things like “Freedom vs Socialism, the choice is clear.”  The concept of freedom has been around for centuries, while the power-hungry always search for ways to hold on to their power.

The fact that we are here today to debate raising America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. – Obama

“The fact that we are here today to debate raising
America ‘s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.
It is a sign that the U.S. Government cannot pay its
own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing
financial assistance from foreign countries to finance
our Government’s reckless fiscal policies.

Increasing America ‘s debt weakens us domestically
and internationally. Leadership means that, “the buck
stops here.’ Instead, Washington is shifting the burden
of bad choices today onto the backs of our children
and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and
a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better.”

~ U.S. Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006
