Obama Was For Single Payer Health Insurance Before He Was Against It

August 13, 2009

This is a mobile post, please ignore any lack of formatting that may exist.

This article clearly shows us that Barack Obama is lying when he claims that he has never said that he supports single payer healthcare.

Let us play dueling Obamas; here is what Obama said as a state senator in 2003:

In 2003, Illinois state Sen. Barack Obama received a big round of applause for telling a gathering of the AFL-CIO, “I happen to be a proponent of single-payer, universal health care plan.”

(Please excuse the lack of block quotes, I can’t block quote on my mobile.)

Now let us look at what President Obama said to a Town Hall gathering in New Hampshire last Tuesday:

“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 transition to a system like that I believe would be too disruptive”

Which is it Mr. President? Which position are we supposed to believe? The president is not being honest with the American people, that much is clear.[END]

    If his lips are moving, he’s lying.

    “I will not be running for President in 2008”

    WOW! he is really trying to demonize the doctors. Now he said that if Dr.s amputate a diabetics foot, they get more insurance money (from the government, BTW). It’s easy to “understand” Obama— you just have to use “doublethink”. See? easy.

    Obama only says what he thinks the sheeple he is speaking to wants to hear. That Town Hall meeting was a joke. The sheeple there were hand picked by Obamas minions.

      Yeah, the people in the New Hampshire Town Hall were screened before they were awarded tickets to attend. His whole act that he was looking for people who disagreed with him fell on deaf ears because nobody that disagreed with him was allowed in. What a phoney!
