Profit shouldn't drive health care

<quoted text>What do you expect from an ACORN attorney? He's absolutely clueless as you pointed out, plus his off the cuff condemnation of the police, who he said acted 'stupidly' when he himself admitted that he wasn't there nor was aware of all the facts, was beyond stupid! Disgraceful as a president who's in the habit of lowering the office he holds to petty jibes certainly says a lot about B.O. for the immature person he is.

It was a despicable display. He comments on a local police matter when he has little or no facts. He comments on medical procedures that he knows nothing about. His stimulus plan is ruining our economy. I am afraid that his entire campaign was one big deception, not to most conservatives but he certainly did not run as the leftie that he is. And all those who voted for Obama thought he was so brilliant. Give me a break.

He's been so busy apologizing to the rest of the world for America's so called arrogance, perhaps it's time that he takes a good, long look at himself in that mirror.

Are you kidding, someone like Obama, doing any self examination? Won’t happen. As far as he is concerned he is right 100% of the time. After all, he is the One.

Aw come on, Brad II. What do you really think of your president?

Other than what I mentioned previously and a few other things, like taking over the banks and automakers, he is doing a fine job.

This is what factcheck has to say regarding Obama's health care news conference.

http://www.factcheck.org/politics/obamas_heal...

"President Obama tried to sell his health care overhaul in prime time, mangling some facts in the process. He also strained to make the job sound easier to pay for than experts predict.

•Obama promised once again that a health care overhaul “will be paid for.” But congressional budget experts say the bills they've seen so far would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit over the next decade.
•He said the plan "that I put forward" would cover at least 97 percent of all Americans. Actually, the plan he campaigned on would cover far less than that, and only one of the bills now being considered in Congress would do that.
•He said the "average American family is paying thousands" as part of their premiums to cover uncompensated care for the uninsured, implying that expanded coverage will slash insurance costs. But the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation puts the cost per family figure at $200.
•Obama claimed his budget "reduced federal spending over the next 10 years by $2.2 trillion" compared with where it was headed before. Not true. Even figures from his own budget experts don't support that. The Congressional Budget Office projects a $2.7 trillion increase, not a $2.2 trillion cut.
•The president said that the United States spends $6,000 more on average than other countries on health care. Actually, U.S. per capita spending is about $2,500 more than the next highest-spending country. Obama's figure was a White House-calculated per-family estimate."
