Republicans' Obamacare Stance Is 'Height Of Hypocrisy,' House Democrats Say

Thursday, July 12, 2012


When tea-partiers yell, "Get government out of healthcare" and in the same breath, "Don't touch my Medicare!", then education is the solution.  

There's rarely a majority in Congress to pass anything until a campaign's been mounted to sell it, but this wasn't a hard sell -- Americans, with few exceptions, love Medicare.  Obama has a clear pattern of mounting campaigns to sell his Republican­-like policies and legislatio­n AFTER it's all a done deal, after he's worked in secret to undermine progressiv­es in Congress, to ram his 'lousy for the people'-legislation through and into law.  It's what he did in the healthcare legislatio­n, in extending Bush's tax cuts, in burying the CIA's criminal torture, the Great Bank Heist, and so much more -- Look at what he did last week on the DREAM Act, no longer implementing deportation of undocumented aliens.  

Ten million more people voted for Obama, a black man in America, than for any other presidential candidate ever in the history of the US. They did it because of his ability to persuade.  He persuaded them that he was going to change the system, end the corporatocracy, lobbyism in government -- He was going to be the People's president, not a corporate tool. 

When a president and his political party are swept into power to deliver affordable­, quality medical treatment for all as Obama and Democrats were in 2008, and the one method that can accomplish it (and also happens to solve other unique problems facing us at the time, i.e., a crashing economy, joblessnes­s, etc.) that president not only doesn't use his bully pulpit to sell, but unilateral­ly takes off the table, removes from even discussing­, then the fix is in and that president is corrupt to the core.
