“government of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, for the lobbyists.”

This video shows the hypocrisy of Obama. He says one thing and does another. The sad part is most Obama voters take him at his word. Most people do not know that he is a Marxist Socialist trained in Saul Alinsky tactics. For Obama the end justifies the means at all costs. With this one so called stimulus bill, he will transform America into a socialist nation. The welfare reforms put in place by the Republicans and Clinton are gone. Health care decisions will be made by a database. Whether you get the care you need will be decided by some bureaucrat. This will be a means to not treat the elderly.

The bill’s health rules will affect “every individual in the United States” (445, 454, 479). Your medical treatments will be tracked electronically by a federal system. Having electronic medical records at your fingertips, easily transferred to a hospital, is beneficial. It will help avoid duplicate tests and errors.

But the bill goes further. One new bureaucracy, the National Coordinator of Health Information Technology, will monitor treatments to make sure your doctor is doing what the federal government deems appropriate and cost effective. The goal is to reduce costs and “guide” your doctor’s decisions (442, 446). These provisions in the stimulus bill are virtually identical to what Daschle prescribed in his 2008 book, “Critical: What We Can Do About the Health-Care Crisis.” According to Daschle, doctors have to give up autonomy and “learn to operate less like solo practitioners.”

Keeping doctors informed of the newest medical findings is important, but enforcing uniformity goes too far.

I  love this article from IBD.

The bill that President Obama called “the largest change in domestic policy since the 1930s” was jammed down Congress’ throat, breaking almost all the promises of bipartisanship and transparency along the way.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid vowed to give members of Congress at least 48 hours to look at the historic legislation before them.

After all, the bill will spend the equivalent of nearly 9% of our GDP while adding $1.2 trillion to our national debt. Obama vows to “create or save” 3.5 million jobs at a cost of $263,000 per job.

Shouldn’t it get even a little bit of scrutiny?

Apparently not. The bill went on line sometime early Friday morning, not too long before passing 246-183 with not a single Republican vote and seven Democrats voting against it.

So much for a “bipartisan” plan, another promise broken….

In this month of celebrating the bicentennial of President Lincoln’s birth, we can’t help recalling his prayerful hope at Gettysburg — that “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

This bill pretty much inverts Lincoln’s ringing words. In this sorry episode at least, it was “government of the lobbyists, by the lobbyists, for the lobbyists.” In other words, real disgrace.
