Biden and Obama spread fiction about healthcare reform and the economy

The president continues to lie to Americans about keeping their health plans:

“Let me be exactly clear about what health care reform means to you,” the president told residents of the Garden State. “First of all, if you’ve got health insurance, you like your doctors, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan. Nobody is talking about taking that away from you.”

But last month, as the president acknowledged during a press conference, he doesn’t literally mean that you are guaranteed to be able to keep your health care plan, and your doctor, if and when health care reform passes.

Speaking of lying, Biden hits the road to fight for ObamaCare:

"Can we possibly afford to do nothing when health care costs have gone up 57 -- if I'm not mistaken -- percent just since 2002?" Biden asked rhetorically. "Now folks, if your milk went up 57 percent and no end in sight, guess what? There would be a lot of dead cows. No one buying milk. You can't afford it."

Joe goes on to spout more nonsense on the economy and health care but never explains why the cows would die.

ObamaCare, he asserts, will help the economy:

"Not only is it immoral not to provide everybody with decent health care, which is my view, the president's view, and the administration's view," he said. "It is also fiscally irresponsible."

His comments had an added irony coming on Thursday, because earlier in the day, the director of the Congressional Budget Office testified that the Democratic health care proposals only make the health care cost issue much worse.

Awkward but true:

Instead of saving the federal government from fiscal catastrophe, the health reform measures being drafted by congressional Democrats would increase rather than reduce public spending on health care, potentially worsening an already bleak budget outlook, the director of the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office said this morning.

Poor Joe seems to be cracking under the weight of the failing economy and has begun to hallucinate:

"To those who say that our economic decisions 'have not produced jobs, have not produced prosperity, and simply have not worked' I say, take a look around," Biden will say, according to prepared remarks obtained by The Washington Post.

"I say, 'Don't let your opposition to the Recovery Act blind you to its results,'" Biden plans to say in the Richmond speech. "'Come see what I see everywhere I go: workers rehired, factories reopened, cops on the street, teachers in the classroom, progress toward getting our economy back on the move.'"

Cue laugh track. I hadn't realized that we had no police before Obama came to save us. Or that schools are brimming with teachers and students in July.

But seriously, unemployment is rising. Saying the opposite mocks those who are out of work and struggling. Incredible.

From Redstate, some perspective:

Biden’s airy dismissal of everything humans have learned about economics since Eve opened a discount fruit stand is funny until you realize this actually reflects the administration’s fiscal policies.

No one human can keep up with Joe's mouth. Go to Memeorandum for more.


On John Holdren:
Mark Hemingway points out, as has Michelle Malkin, the irony in the reactions to two scientists appointed by Obama. One has written extensively on methods to control human reproduction (forced abortions, drugs in the food and water, etc.), and another is an avowed Christian. Guess which one "raises concerns" among the media? (By the way, if the liberal media knew the first thing about either faith or science they'd see that there's no conflict between the two.)

The timing of Holdren's exposure as a eugenics-sympathizing population control-freak should be bad for ObamaCare, which is all about people like Holdren making life-or-death decisions for the rest of us. But the msm has yet to pick up on this provocative story. Their strength of will in resisting juicy stories that might hinder the liberal agenda continues to impress.


Diverting: this video of Barbara Boxer and Harry Alford, who nails her for her "racial" and "condescending" perspective. Note how many times she repeats the word "proud." Condescending is exactly right. And it's like she can't help herself. As a study in the crippling effects of diversity-think on the mind, it's worth the six minutes.

Go to Gateway Pundit for more. And an interview with Mr. Alford, here.

Barbie's warped view of reality, that only sees people as members of this or that group, apparently kills brain cells in the long run.


Lastly, it seems that some people are even too liberal for CNN: CNN's Roesgen Reportedly Will Leave Network; Bias Alleged
