Obama today agreed to tax health insurance while discussing it positively in December 2009. This was after attacking John McCain for wanting to tax health plans during the campaign. Here is the Obama Ad that attacks John McCain for wanting to tax health plans. And here is the text of the ad:
(Obama): I’m Barack Obama and I approve this message.
(Announcer): On healthcare, John McCain promises a tax credit, but here’s what he won’t tell you. McCain would impose a new tax on health benefits, taxing your healthcare for the first time ever. Its a multi-trillion dollar tax hike. The largest middle class tax increase in history. You won’t find one word about it on his web site, but the McCain tax could cost your family thousands. Can you afford it?
Barack Obama, January 2008: “That’s what I will do in bringing all parties together, not negotiating behind closed doors, but bringing all parties together, and broadcasting those [health care] negotiations on C-SPAN so that the American people can see what the choices are.” (Democratic presidential debate, 1/31/08)
American Express again sends us someone else’s information with no way to report it.

Miss Smythe-Beddoes: Colonel, you had an opportunity to observe the new Germany and the United States. Now, how would you compare them?
Hogan: Oh… no comparison at all. Back home, everybody thinks for themselves. All those decisions to make. Here, one man thinks for everyone. Saves a lot of wear and tear.
I’m, uh… I mean, take the Russian front. That was Hitler’s idea, yet I think it’s so wonderful you don’t hear one word of criticism about it.
Hogan, Hogan’s Heroes, Who Stole My Copy of Mein Kampf? (1969)
Sounds like we’ll be having one person think for everyone on certain topics going forward here now too!
Maria Shriver gets another ticket and runs a stop sign. Do as I say, not as I do is the operative phrase of the group of people who want to control the rest of us for their own benefit. Real illustrative. Thank you TMZ for publicizing the continuing illegal behavior of those who want to regulate our freedom away.
There are two types of leaders in this world. Those who lead by incentive, and those who lead by force. Those who lead by incentive will offer you a salary to come and work for them, those who lead by force will throw you in jail if you do not pick up a gun and fight for them.

Verizon keeps sending someone else’s account information and still pays only lip service to privacy and providing a method to letting them know they are doing so. Perhaps they should have a coverage map that shows where they are leaking private information. “Can you see my account information now?” “Can you see it now?”
And Verizon won’t discuss removing our email address from their database and said they didn’t care what we did with information sent to it. [Which fits with our terms of service – anything sent to us may be published.]
