"Health Care Inflation" - oBama's Press Conference Play by Play

What the hell does that mean? Bama's press conference is the stuff of pure idiocy. Nobody knows what he means by that because he doesn't know. He could have said, "Health care cost inflation," but he didn't, and given this guy's black belt in linguistic martial arts, you absolutely cannot think 'cost' is implied in that statement. We simply don't know. It might sound good, but it's just as likely to refer to people's use or overuse of health care, which speaks to the issue of care by approval.

He came up with this gem: "You take a test and then you take another test and its the same test but the people who took the first test forgot to send it..." Just nonsense. He's making this up as he goes.

As to why the rush: He gets letters everyday... Like the middle-aged couple whose daughter has leukemia and they need Bama's help because they don't know what to do. First off, maybe he got this letter, maybe not. Presidents need to make tough choices everyday that affect every American, not just react to the handful of letters that make him cry. If there is such a couple, I'm sorry your daughter has leukemia, but the President of the United States cannot just write a check we can't cash and hope you get the help you need. Oh, and if Bama really wanted to help that girl he'd write the check himself, because he knows even if he signs the health care bill tomorrow the system won't be fully operational for months or even years.

And then there was this: "The stars are aligned and we need to take advantage of that." Well, that's as good a reason as any! Where do I sign?!

"The average family pays thousands of dollars in hidden costs..." I would have died if he had said "Taxes" but of course he couldn't. It was about uninsured who get hit by buses and then everyone else pays. Wait a minute, under his plan won't we be essentially paying for 16-50 Million uninsured bus victims? How are we not still paying for that?

He just lied! "When I came in we had a 1.3 trillion dollar deficit every year that we had inherited." The deficit reached the trillion dollar mark for the first time ever a month ago. Bama's half way to 2 Trillion in debt for this year alone, and the budget hasn't even been signed yet.

He's worried about spending, and somehow he's calculated the deficit would have been $9 trillion, but thanks to him it will only be $7 trillion. Well thank God for that.

There he goes again, reminding us how he inherited this problem of the deficit. Is this a cartoon? "We were on the verge of a complete meltdown..." (Blames Wall Street) And who saved us? If anyone it was George W Bush. It's a fact that lending stabilized by the end of December 2008, and Bama had nothing to do with that. He continued to push the myth that they hadn't until he could try to spin it like his spending bill, er, I mean stimulus bill got the job done.

He just got asked if he and the Congress will have the same plan as the American people. Um, ok, Congress gets to shop plans just like we do... If you can reduce administrative costs you can incentive, er, the private sector to do even better. Insurance companies are making record profits, blah, blah, blah. Nope, didn't answer it.

Can he guarantee patients and doctors will get to make the decision about care or will it be the government? No, he will instead be enforcing morality, because a doctor will always take the most expensive option. Yeeeah, riiiight.

Oh, and Doctors do what's best for the patient at Mayo. I know first hand this is Not true. Mayo treats people like lab mice, and you are just about guaranteed to get the most expensive possible option at Mayo unless you get real serious about your own care. Oh, and Mayo doesn't want oBamacare. I don't know what this all means, but it's f--ked up.

The press actually asked a couple tough questions. Too bad Bama either didn't answer or gave answers he knew to be misleading or outright lies.

Answering the softball question to end the thing about race relations and racial profiling by police:
"There is a long history in this country of African Americans and Latinos being stopped disproportionately." I'm sure that has nothing to do with the fact that they commit disproportionately more crimes... Oh, wait, they just get caught committing more crimes. White people get away with everything.

Bottom line, he uses bad reasons to justify this whole thing. He's clearly not interested in what's best for the country as a whole. Perhaps just the opposite.
