And oddly enough he’s also going to decry scare tactics:
President Barack Obama Wednesday demanded Congress act now on health reform, warning more Americans would die if Washington again does nothing to expand care and cut the costs of insurance.
He’s either the most stupid man we’ve ever had in the White House, or the most dishonest. I’m leaning more towards “dishonest”, but “stupid” is coming in a close second.
Consider this the open thread on Obama’s speech…
UPDATE: In contrast to Obama’s nonsense, Sarah Palin speaks some sense:
…How can we ensure that those who need medical care receive it while also reducing health-care costs? The answers offered by Democrats in Washington all rest on one principle: that increased government involvement can solve the problem. I fundamentally disagree.
Common sense tells us that the government’s attempts to solve large problems more often create new ones. Common sense also tells us that a top-down, one-size-fits-all plan will not improve the workings of a nationwide health-care system that accounts for one-sixth of our economy. And common sense tells us to be skeptical when President Obama promises that the Democrats’ proposals “will provide more stability and security to every American.”
With all due respect, Americans are used to this kind of sweeping promise from Washington. And we know from long experience that it’s a promise Washington can’t keep…
Indeed. Obama promises that the plan will cover more people for less money at a higher level of access and quality. Liars say such things and stupid people believe them. Sarah Palin is neither liar nor stupid. Can’t say as much for the liberals.
UPDATE II: Obama says its time to stop bickering. I agree. The people don’t seem to want a government option – so, lets stop bickering about it and ditch the idea.
