Obama Couldn’t Care Less What America Thinks

Posted by Kenn Jacobine on Fri, 08/28/2009 - 2:11pm in

Barack Obama showed his true colors in a recent trip to Montana. The president was in Bozeman, Montana earlier this month to conduct a town hall meeting with “citizens” on his healthcare reform plan. Naturally, most of what was really news was ignored by the press. However, I was fortunate enough to receive an email from a friend that received an email from a friend who was on the ground in Bozeman, before, during, and after Obama’s visit.

According to the account, the true details of the president’s trip were appalling. It amounted to an extravagant staged campaign stop for socialized medicine all at taxpayer expense. In the first place, the town hall forum was held in a remote hanger at the local airport even though several venues (auditoriums, gymnasiums) in town were available for the event. Thus, it was harder for average citizens to attend and seating and decorations had to be shipped in for the event. In fact, according to airport workers in Bozeman the airport was abuzz with loads of shipments for the president for most of the week leading up to the forum. One UPS employee even reported that thousands of dollars worth of lobster was shipped in for Obama and his entourage. Since Montana has some of the best beef in the nation and they are experiencing the same economic hardships as the rest of us during this recession, one would think the president would be a little more empathetic toward his hosts and purchase their product to help their local economy.

Of course to get a ticket to see and maybe even ask the president a question was a complete run around. Folks were not given the time tickets would be handed out until the morning before the day they were handed out. Then, not even half of the tickets printed were handed out. But, rest assured, folks with hard luck stories had their tickets. Ahead of time, the White House called Bozeman’s Human Resource and Development Committee to get the names of folks who have experienced healthcare woes. These folks got rides and tickets to the event all in an effort to give the impression that Montana was squarely behind the president’s plan to provide universal healthcare coverage to all Americans. And just to make sure the impression was perfectly cemented, any questions for the president either from the media or the loyalists in attendance were screened ahead of time by the White House.

So, there would be no free exchange of ideas on healthcare reform that Obama claims he is willing to listen to. Those that are opposed to nationalized healthcare were given a roped off area near the hanger to conduct their protest. But, their unencumbered peaceful protest was short lived as a large busload of Service Employees International Union members was offloaded in their midst. Clearly, whether the presence of these unionists was orchestrated by the White House or some other entity, their purpose was to start trouble and/or intimidate the anti-socialized medicine protestors. As a matter of fact, one unionist was arrested for his aggression. The eyewitness account indicated that the union members were well-organized, young, and relentless in following around the anti-Obama plan protestors.

Now, I like many, have been a little dismayed at the behavior of some folks at the recent congressional town hall meetings. But, what do we expect from people who are frustrated by their elected official’s actions - rigging elections, voting big bailout dollars for corrupt corporations, and ignoring their wishes on issues as important as healthcare reform? The president is no different than members of Congress, but he obviously has the wherewithal to prevent the same scenes from happening at his town hall meetings. If Obama was really a president of the people he would yearn to hear our voices. He would travel modestly especially during economic hard times. He certainly would not tolerate organized henchmen being used to squelch First Amendment freedoms. Obama promised America “Change” but what we have really gotten is short changed.

This is the way to do it! (National Health Care System)





"I could swear it really tastes like chicken!"


Sentenced to death on the NHS   ++ click here ++
Patients with terminal illnesses are being made to die prematurely under an NHS scheme to help end their lives, leading doctors have warned.
In a letter to The Daily Telegraph, a group of experts who care for the terminally ill claim that some patients are being wrongly judged as close to death.

Under NHS guidance introduced across England to help doctors and medical staff deal with dying patients, they can then have fluid and drugs withdrawn and many are put on continuous sedation until they pass away.

n 2007-08 16.5 per cent of deaths in Britain came about after continuous deep sedation, according to researchers at the Barts and the London School of Medicine and Dentistry, twice as many as in Belgium and the Netherlands.

 

... but you're gonna need some patients ...

Man's Finger Bitten Off in Scuffle at Health Care Rally   ++ click here ++
A 65-year-old man had his finger bitten off Wednesday evening at a health care rally in Thousand Oaks, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff's investigators were called to Hillcrest and Lynn Road at 7:26 p.m.

About 100 protesters sponsored by MoveOn.org were having a rally supporting health care reform.

The man took his finger and walked to Los Robles hospital for treatment.

It's all good and fun until someone gets a foot bitten off.

I think before the Obama

I think before the Obama administration pursue for the health care reform they have to think several times if it will really benefit the American Citizen. They have to bear in mind that any reform program are addressed to the need and welfare of the people but what is the sense if they are protesting and very much against for that reform. We should set aside any political interest and let the welfare of the people prevail this time.Anyway, have you heard that the Gibson Guitar Corporation doesn't bestow a replica copy on just anyone, and Jeff Beck would certainly deserve it. Jeff Beck got his start like many others, playing sessions, until he was hired by the Yardbirds to replace none other than Eric Clapton. He played lead guitar, eventually leaving and was replaced in turn by Jimmy Page. Gibson has created a replica copy of Jeff Beck's Oxblood Les Paul – named for a rare shade of a reddish brown similar to blood, and the original guitar itself is depicted on the cover of Beck's bestselling album, Blow by Blow. The guitar goes for some serious extra cash – about $25,000 – but the Jeff Beck Les Paul will hold value for years.

Actually, This Story Was All Over The Net

Received an "email" from a friend of a friend? This story was posted all over the net, with the name Bill changed to Joe, and the writer's name also simply changed. While I'm sure some of it is true, since it is clear that these townhalls are nothing more than staged events for the media in most part, I suspect that much was embellished by the fiction writer who concocted it.

And the fact you are making what is occurring a "partisan" political issue speaks also volumes, since this is the bankers directing the puppets, no matter which official "stripe" they wear, both parties have been taken over by the Brits most of all and are the Global Socialist Party.

Obama Is Merely The Bankers Tool....As Was Bush

Obama is merely the bankers tool, nothing more, as was Bush. And "prepped" for this moment in history most of his adult life, it would appear. By those that use others to hide behind to do their evil deeds for their own commercial gains. Bankers have no morals, nor country loyalty. It is the State of Israel as real estate that is their main interest - since it is, after all, the most visited country in tourism of all due to its historic and religious roots for all three of the major faiths.

America is just another piece of real estate as far as they are concerned. And it is their intent to "relieve" the Americans of their property come hook or crook - and is not a partisan issue at all, since the exact same methods were used under Bush, and we are still in this war under Obama....for mostly California and Silicon Valley's gain - your industry, it would appear. As heavily invested in by one of the bankers tools also, another British Zionist.

Or Should I Say Also....Also Fox Employee or Devotee

Or should I say also a Fox employee or devotee, and closet liberal NeoCon. Since Murdoch is also a Zionist in his beliefs, as a Brit and not American except for "commercial" reasons.

Spoken Like A True Closet Liberal NeoCon

Spoken like a true closet liberal NeoCon. Making this a partisan issue. Did you read the articles about the McCain rally - which he held in his "church," a "church" he simply joined since it is the largest Baptist church in Phoenix (and thus Zionist leaning) when he began his race for the presidential election? And how most are holding these meetings just in order to "appear" to be consulting their constituency - when the entire focus of this bill as written is so full of Constitutional violations it is laughable?

And which country are you really a "heart" citizen, since it does appear you been out of touch with what has occurred "progressively" in the American politican scene for the last, oh, forty years?
