Whopper night at the Obama pep rally

The few who watched the Obama press conference and pep rally last night got a further glimpse into the character of the man that 52% of American voters placed in office. He confirmed that his position as the best liar we have had for our president, albeit we have never before had the bad luck to get a Chicago trained politician. His lapdog press questioned none of the prevarications confirming also that the media has long since given up any trace of integrity or objectivity. Finding a place to start a criticism is problematic since very little of what he said during those tedious 10-minute responses was true. Now that he is going to have to stop blaming Bush for the Economic mess, he is desperately trying to put a smiley face on what he has wrought. Biggest whopper of the night: He said the economy is improving, that the stimulus is working, that unemployment is decreasing, and the gargantuan government health plan he is proposing will help lower the deficit, not increase it. Each of these claims is a lie. His own Congressional Budget Office has reported its findings to Obama and Congress, and they report the precise opposite of these fictions. His big argument for foisting his national health program on taxpayers is that over 50% of Americans cannot afford health insurance. A just-out study found that only 12% have no health insurance; the remaining 38% have none for various personal reasons. He said a government health program would provide competition for private companies and that Americans who prefer could choose to keep their plan. The aforementioned study found that 80% are pleased with their plan, but that the government plan would drive them out of the market. Companies that now provide health care options will drop them, save a bundle of benefit costs and let the nanny state pay for it. This, of course, means the American taxpayers will foot the bill.
