Obama will destroy nation in four more years
Published 9:16am Wednesday, June 20, 2012I truly wish that columnist Jim Crawford knew what he was talking about on “Obamacare” and just how it has “helped” us senior citizens.
Again, there were back door deals that Obama made with drug companies, senators, representatives, and those who supported it. My health care costs have gone up, not down. Some drugs have gone from tier 1 to tier 3, costing me 20 to 35 percent more than last year.
Also, he has “helped” the seniors by cutting $500 billion out of Medicare, and conveniently, after this election any person who is over 75 years of age can no longer get stents unless you can pay for them. This wasn’t to come out until after the election.
However some have read most of the things that will happen to seniors. If you need surgery, and you are over 65, you will have to be approved by a medical board or pay for it yourself.
This is the truth of “Obamacare” that you were not supposed to find out until after the election. Then it is kiss the senior citizens goodbye. I guess we are beyond any good anyway, so we can go ahead and die.
Talking about the Republicans not helping Obama, well until the last election, Obama said the Democrats were in control and they don’t have to listen to the Republicans. They got no input in “Obamacare.” So don’t blame the Republicans now for not giving Obama his way.
The only thing that I can say to you is that Obama is ruining this country. Yes, ruining it. What has he done in the three plus years that he has been in office except blame Bush?
Never has he admitted that his policies are bankrupting this country.
So, go to the polls on election day and vote to give him four more years in which he can totally destroy this country.
No, I’m not a racist. And if you have read my other letters you will see I firmly disagreed with Bush on many things that hurt our country.

Charge: Britain is Allowing Thousands of Seniors to Die Prematurely
By John Goodman Filed under Seniors on June 22, 2012 with 13 comments
NHS doctors are prematurely ending the lives of thousands of elderly hospital patients because they are difficult to manage or to free up beds, a senior consultant claimed yesterday…
Professor Patrick Pullicino said doctors had turned the use of a controversial “death pathway” into the equivalent of euthanasia of the elderly. [T]he Liverpool Care Pathway [LCP], a method of looking after terminally ill patients that is used in hospitals across the country…can include withdrawal of treatment — including the provision of water and nourishment by tube — and on average brings a patient to death in 33 hours…There are around 450,000 deaths in Britain each year of people who are in hospital or under NHS care. Around 29 percent — 130,000 — are of patients who were on the LCP…
Professor Pullicino claimed that far too often elderly patients who could live longer are placed on the LCP and it had now become an “assisted death pathway rather than a care pathway.”

Could one compare what we’re headed for to an on base military hospital? If they are comparable we are in big trouble. Would you want the military/Washington to pick your doctor for you? Not me!!

Alan Caruba has been playing right field for a long time. He would perform better on the bench (keeping a place warm). I hesitate to take anything he says seriously. He professes to protect people against “scare tactics”. I find this interesting, especially in light of his comment “If SCOTUS upholds it, it will condemn Americans to having bureaucrats deny medical care to some because of their age and others to die while waiting for it.”

Hey now we have 77% of Americans that do not want this ObamaCare and it is pushed down the throats of a minority that do. Seems most of those are new to the country and now expect we the middle class american to pay for their health care. Sure this is great for Obama and his love for all but the middle class. We are now stuck with the option of going out of country to receive medical care we may need before this so called ObamaCare will provide it or die due to lack of care but for the most basic medical care. Seems we are headed down the path of the European Union.

Glad SCOTUS made that clear. We just received a huge tax increase on top of socialized health care!!

As this is being written, it is the Wednesday prior to the announcement of the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the fate of Obamacare. If SCOTUS upholds it, it will condemn Americans to having bureaucrats deny medical care to some because of their age and others to die while waiting for it.
By any standard it is a horrendously bad law and one that initiated a huge political movement, the Tea Party, to oppose it. Mitt Romney is campaigning on the promise to repeal it. It was a law passed in the dark of night and it embodies all the worst aspects of Socialism.

In a shocking interview yesterday on the Sean Hannity radio show, author Ed Klein said Barack Obama’s pastor
———————————————————–
Huh. Sean Hannity and Ed Klein made up? The last time Klein was on, to flog his book The Truth About Hillary, Hannity was mighty skeptical. In that one, Hillary is a lesbian who was raped by her husband. According to, er, anonymous sources. Hannity treated him exactly the way he deserved, which made Klein refer to him in print as a “right wing crazy”. Typical of FOX, now that Klein is attacking the president, Hannity is pretending he’s a real author with a real story to tell. You won’t believe this, but people like Klein aren’t helping Romney. The difference between those checkout-stand type books and real reporting is too obvious.
(Report comment)
“Klein said he has Wright on tape charging that the Obamas’ friend, Eric Whitaker, sent an email offering $150,000 for Wright’s silence until after the election.”
AND
“Klein gave Hannity the three-hour tape of the interview he conducted with Wright, and Hannity will be playing excerpts…”
So Klein has Rev. Wright on tape stating this and your spin is what again Keta?
(Report comment)
In a shocking interview yesterday on the Sean Hannity Radio Show, author Ed Klein said Barack Obama’s former pastor helped Obama accept Christianity without having to renounce Islam.
Klein says Obama originally sought out Wright to discuss community activism.
“Quickly the conversations turned from picking up garbage on the street and getting streetlights put up on street corners to political matters and religious matters,” Klein says. “And the Rev. Wright turned into really a substitute father figure, who guided Obama in the two major areas of his life.”
The first area was Obama’s identity — just who was he?
“Obama was steeped in Islam but knew nothing about Christianity,” Klein says.
Klein asked Wright if he converted Obama from being a Muslim into a Christian.
“He said, I don’t know about that. but I can tell you that I made it easy for him to come to an understanding of who Jesus Christ is and not feel that he was turning his back on his Islamic friends and his Islamic traditions and his understanding of Islam,” Klein says.
The second area was Obama’s political philosophy. Wright introduced Obama to Black Liberation theology.

What’s amazing is the amount of co-ordination between the liberal media and the White House. Remember how Obama came out with his policy change on gays and a couple of days later the Romney bullying a homosexual story comes out?
Then just a couple days ago… The White House came out with the fake “Romney sent jobs offshore” commercial and the Washington Post followed up the next day with a discredited story how Romney sent jobs offshore? I mean, how long does it take to investigate a story, write it up, review it, send it to the editors, editors review it make changes, send it back and then print it? And it just so happened to be ready a day after an Obama commercial? Riiiiiiiiiiiight…
(Report comment)
What is fairly hilarious though… The Washington Post’s own fact checker gave the Obambi commercial (and since the WAPO own story had similar false claims, it’s own article by default) the dreaded 4 Pinocchios.
4 Pinocchios for Obama’s newest anti-Romney ad
…The Obama campaign fails to make its case. On just about every level, this ad is misleading, unfair and untrue, from the use of “corporate raider” to its examples of alleged outsourcing. Simply repeating the same debunked claims won’t make them any more correct.

They are also willing to accept money for birthdays and anniversaries
———————————————————-
The blog post actually reads, “Got a birthday, anniversary or wedding coming up?…..” (If you ever planted a tree in someone’s name, or donated to a hospice instead of buying funeral flowers, or bought a goat for an African community as a birthday gift for someone who already has everything he needs, you’d understand this better. A lot of individual donors – like me – obviously consider the president’s re-election campaign a worthy cause. Those who don’t won’t donate, duh. The tone of this story on wingnut websites is hilarious. Obama wants your wedding gifts!)

Bluemule, I have no problems raising taxes as long as spending is cut first. Too many times on the past, democrats have agreed to cut spending if only republicans would raise taxes. Reagan and Bush senior fell for their lies.
(Report comment)
So Homer believes it is Obama and his policies alone that are bankrupting the country. Never mind all the years past that we have been running big deficits. The problem is everybody constantly wants a tax cut, republicans cut the wealthy’s taxes, democrats cut everyone else’s taxes, while it constantly costs more to provide services we all need such as roads, teachers, firemen, and the military.
Ronald Reagan had a little proposal that had it passed would have greatly changed where we find ourselves today, the Balanced Budget Act. We cannot continue to cut taxes, while spending more…ask the Euro countries how that is working out for them. At some point, taxes are going to have to be raised, spending cut, to balance the budget and save the country from going bankrupt.

Did you see Obabmi’s latest desperation move? He wants couples getting married to “register” with his election campaign. Instead of getting gifts, friends can donate cash to Obambi in their name. They are also willing to accept money for birthdays and anniversaries.

So, Homer, you seem to think our president is intent on killing off us senior citizens by denying us life saving operations and affordable medicine. There seems to be an underlying overtone that this may be political….after all, many senior citizens do vote republican….so do away with those voters and bam….democrats always win. Except you forgot one thing. We are all destined to grow old. IF this were the reality, then democrats should cut health care access to people BEFORE they grew old, thereby never allowing them a chance to vote republican.

Homer, why have you lately began ending your “letters” with a word about you not being a racist? I read your “letters” most every time they are published,(as well as the comments that are made) and I’ve never read any comments that implied that you were a racist. While I disagree with some of what you write, I believe in your right to say it. That is called freedom of speech. Just because we have a black president and you disagree with him….does not mean people automatically think you are a racist. No need to tell them this every “letter”.

poverty with our youth. Is this the so called change that this president promised

Oh, shut up. 6 million Americans fell into poverty while Dubyah demanded those relentless tax cuts for the wealthy and started useless, endless and costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Why weren’t you complaining about poverty and desperation then, instead of cheering the brain-dead policymaking responsible for it?

Hey Homer anyone here that reads this paper understands that this facist writer is just like the one he loves and bows down to so most do not even waste their time by reading his articles. We know they are all the same anyway, sad this paper cannot come up with t decent writer rather this one but goes to show that maybe the editor here is pro-liberal.

Seems that the Obama administration of now wants not just better treatment for our young. We rank far below many countries in delivering services to the populations here in the United States that need it most. Take a look at where we stand in the would and poverty with our youth. Is this the so called change that this president promised? If so then those that continue to support him are just as guilty as he is for the poor in our nation and sad to say it ranks below even most of the countries we deliver aid to. Sure Obama gains from being part of the so called Hollywood scene where those rich people help those countries in need. Not saying that should stop but is does not seem political correct to save the hungry and starving children in our nation.

No doubt Obamacare’s apologists will try to seize on the Fidelity finding from last year and claim the law is actually good for seniors. It won’t work. America’s seniors already understand that cutting Medicare’s reimbursement rates by $450 billion over a decade isn’t going to be good for their health care. No amount of spin is going to change their minds on that.

I have admiration and respect for President George W. Bush. He served in difficult times. I also have admiration and respect for his younger brother, Jeb Bush, who was our Governor here in Florida.

Homer; I find your article a little loose with the facts, per example of the increase in your drug costs. The increase in your drug cost has to do with the Pharmaceutical Industries greed, not “Obamacare”. You might want to express your thanks to the Democratic Party for the benefits of the Medicare and Social Security you now receive. Criticism is easy, offering constructive improvements is more difficult. However. I do concur with your thoughts on not re-electing President Obama. I feel he does not possess the attributes of an admirable and competent leader. He presents and represents the position of a lack of morality. My compliments to you Homer, on your care and concern.

Billco,
You have a point, but Bush could have veto’d everything. He didn’t have to go along to get along with a Pelosi/Reid Congress. If they would have overridden the veto, they have complete blame. Bush signed the spending and regulatory bills and is just as much to to blame for what they did.

Homer–You can start by encouraging people to drop AARP. I dropped them in 08 when they were supporting Obambi.
If what you are saying about procedures for older people is true, it is going to get bad. People just need to be aware of where their donations and membership money is going.
Hard line older democrats backing Obama are just shooting themselves in the foot.

the dems were to blame for most of this mess that bush got the blame for. from march of 06 we had a democrat house and senate, we can put blame where it belongs with miss nancy, and mr reed, and mr obabby. bush was a lame duck president his last term. all we have to do is think back when all of this mess started. you can see the dems were in charge. so put the blame where it belongs, with the idiots that are in the white house now.
