WOO! HOO! Your humble correspondent has just beaten Ruslan Chagaev in the ring to become the World Heavyweight Champion! Okay, so maybe Chagaev wasn't even in the ring with me because I was only shadow boxing. However, I can count on Peter Nicholas of the Los Angles Times to report my victory despite my lack of an opponent in the ring. That is pretty much how Nicholas reported the "victory" by Linda...

Jim Geraghty notes that Obama tells the crowd at his town-hall in New Hampshire: "I have not said that I am a supporter of a single-payer system." How does he think he can get away with that when this YouTube...

Barack Obama, at today's townhall discussion of health care in Portsmouth, New Hampshire: QUESTION: Mr. President, you've been quoted over the years when you were a senator, and perhaps even before then, that you were essentially a supporter of a universal plan. I'm beginning to see that you're changing that. Do you honestly believe that? Because that is my concern. I'm on Medicare, but I still worry...

According to the White House, the video shot in 2003 that you are about to watch gives a “very false impression.” It sure is easy to get this “ very false impression ” when you take the President at his word. Or when President Obama over-ruled his Chief of Staff to support MoveOn.org’s push for a public plan option in the House and Senate health reform bills, and when his campaign organization and...

Barack Obama, August 11, 2009: I have not said that I was a single-payer supporter because frankly, we historically have had a employer-based system in this country, with private insurers, and for us to tran — transition to a system like that, I believe would be too disruptive. Barack Obama, 2003: I happen to be a proponent of [...]

This morning, the White House pushed back on Drudge's promotion of this video: Linda Douglass, formerly a totally objective reporter with ABC News, appears in the below video in an attempt to debunk the first video. She does this by saying, essentially, "Obama's critics are lying about the President by using words that came directly out of his mouth on video. Now, here are some other things that Obama...

Why do Americans have so much mistrust for their for-profit insurance companies-- almost as much, in fact, as they mistrust congressional Republicans? Yesterday, after a year long investigation, the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Oversight and Investigations held a hearing on rescissions of coverage after policyholders become ill. Bart Stupak (D-MI) questioned 3 insurance company CEOs whose companies...

President Obama has a problem keeping his story straight. Today he told us this: This is what he told us before: Sorry President Obama, I don’t believe your current version of the “truth”.

You may remember this video published here on Sunday, using the President's own words to show that his real health care objective is a single payer system: Apparently the Drudge report picked up the story also. For some reason they drove a lot more people to the video then, The Lid did. So when the White House went on the attack they went after Drudge: Linda Douglass, former ABC News reporter,is basically...

“I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal health care program. I see no reason why the United States of America, the wealthiest country in the history of the world, spending 14 percent of its Gross National Product on health care cannot provide basic health insurance to everybody. And that’s what Jim [...]

Communications Director for the White House Office of Health Reform Linda Douglass bemoans in her rebuttal (awkwardly and without explanation entitled “Facts Are Stubborn Things”…what does that even mean?!) to the video I posted yesterday that the president’s words about the Stalinization of health care were (all together now) “taken out of context” but then [...]

This truly is one of the more shocking videos I’ve seen on liberal “healthcare advocates” in Congress admitting the real purpose behind their “healthcare reform” agenda: Here’s a partial transcript: “I know many of you here today are single payer advocates and so am I … and those of us who are pushing for a public health [...]

Here is video of Barack Obama in 2003 saying he favored the United States providing health care to every citizen through a "single-payer" system, a euphemism for total Government-run Health Care. The White House claims Obama's remarks then have just been cut and spliced . Ok. Listen to the video above uncut of what Barack Obama actually said: “I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal...
