Throwing Down the Gauntlet

When will the assault end? Obama has not only set the stage for socialized medicine, but he's going to force additional taxes on the same group whose taxes he will allow to increase to 39% in 2011. Does he really think that the well off and small business owners are going to sit and take beating after beating to live in a country with less effective, government-run health care? A country which offers no future for their children, in which government runs the lives of it's citizens from cradle to grave, and punishes the productive?

Just in from the AP:

"Obama Seeks $634M Over 10 Years to Revamp Health Care System
A senior administration official says President Obama's budget calls for financing the overhaul by trimming Medicare spending and limiting tax deductions for upper-income earners.

President Obama wants a significant "down payment" for overhauling the health care system: $634 billion over 10 years.

A senior administration official says Obama's budget calls for financing the overhaul by trimming Medicare spending and limiting tax deductions for upper-income earners. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the budget won't be released until Thursday.

About 48 million Americans are uninsured, according to recent estimates. The cost of guaranteeing coverage for all could easily exceed $1 trillion over 10 years.

Obama has asked Congress for health reform this year, but senior members of both political parties say they are concerned about the cost."

Step right up folks! Watch him closely folks! At no time will his fingers leave his hands! For his next act, Swami Obama will simultaneously; spread the wealth, double tax the rich, and lay a bill on your children you will not believe. Notice folks, how he never changes the expression on his face. Now folks, concentrate on Swami Obama, don't look over there on the other stage where Holder is taking assault weapons from law abiding citizens and don't ask what he will do to get them out of the hands of criminals. No sir, folks keep your eyes on Swami Obama. And, don't look at Salazar who will stop projects in energy like shale oil. Concentrate on Swami Obama!
