Hypocrisy alert!
A heretofore “unknown” 2004 interview with Barack Obama by leftwing radio host Randi Rhodes has just emerged where he talks about people feeling “intimidated” by the administration in passing laws to keep Americans safe. But when it comes to passing laws that will change the fundamental ways we all pay for and receive medical care… well, I guess thats another matter. And what was the hypocrisy? His complaint that the Bush administration was rushing legislation through congress without giving the legislators time to read the bills or allowing for much debate.
Then you have John Conyers, Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee saying how he “loves these members that get up and say “Read the Bill!” What good is reading the bill when it takes two lawyers and two days to understand it?” Know what Conyers had to say about rushing the Patriot Act? “We failed when we rushed through the first PATRIOT Act while the wreck of the World Trade Center was still smoldering. “
**Editors Notes
It is unseemly and close to unethical for the President to “summon” the Director of the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office to his office. This is intimidation following that offices report that the reform package is untenable. It raises prices, will drive out private insurance and constrain choice. Medicare and Medicade costs are spiraling out of control and bankrupting states and these people want to add more Americans to the lists? What is there to back ANY of this up?
The reality in America is, when you offer “reform” you have to say how it is going to get better. Is it going to lower costs? How? Competition or control? If the government pays 20% less than private insurance because the taxpayer makes up the difference, that isnt competition.
This writer gladly counts himself among the majority of independents and the majority of Americans who feel this President is not doing the job he was elected to do. Quit worrying about your leftist goals Mr Obama and lead.
so Terry you hate Obama. I myself thank God we have him as president. Bush was a disaster.
These pesky hypocrites!
So why are you blogging at OJ Terry?
#2,
I think Terry enjoys battling it out with our readers.
If you look at Red County, they usually have zero comments on their posts.
Our readers at least get quite riled up…

Obama is Prez because of Bush. No Bush = no Obama.
And I suspect he will have 8 years to carry out his agenda…
New Palin bumpersticker:
Palin 2012 – 2013 1/2!
Sarah Palin was Governor of Alaska for two and a half years. She took office in December, 2006 and was a chief executive of a state longer than Obama was Senator.
Better bumper sticker:
Barack Obama – Oops! We got that one wrong!
Palin’s a quitter.
Obama got a better job and had to give notice at his last place of employment.
Palin’s going to go make the big bucks now and fools will buy into her. She’s all about the money. Just watch.
Obama was right in 2004 and wrong now. Meet the new boss. Same as the old boss.
