Rep Joe Wilson called Obama a Liar. Now That's The Truth!

The discussion about Joe Wilson and all of the posturing about Obama being insulted or the Office of the President being insulted is a DISTRACTION that the liberal press and the Obama camp love. It is a great misdirection from the fact that JOE WILSON WAS EXACTLY CORRECT.In his Joint Session speech Obama said:
1. "I will NOT SIGN A PLAN THAT ADDS ONE DIME TO OUR DEFICITS". Various studies by independent groups estimate the ADDED DEFICIT over ten years to be between $1 trillion and $1.3 trillion and these are all low ball figures giving ObamaCare the benefit of several very optimistic revenue increases and cost cuts. The actual added deficit if the history for Medicare and Medicaid are any indication will be several trillion more. OBAMA LIE #1!
2. Obama called Medicare a "sacred trust" and said "I WILL PROTECT MEDICARE". But his plan includes $600 billion in Medicare cuts and it destroys Medicare Advantage with $250 billion in cuts used by 1/4 of seniors to choose their own insurance and doctors. OBAMA LIE #2!
3. Obama said that his plan would not deny certain older patients full medical services. But, HR3200 requires seniors to regularly SUBMIT TO "END OF LIFE" COUNSEL RING SESSIONS that combined with cost controls and rationing of care could LEAD TO BEING DENIED LIFE-SAVING TREATMENTS. The bill also includes generous funding for 'comparative effectiveness research" which is a code phrase for limiting care based on a patient's age. OBAMA LIE #3!
4. Obama claimed that his bill did not provide care for ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS. But, Republican amendments to specifically require proof of legal residence or U. S. citizenship were rejected by the Democrats, thus OPENING THE DOOR FOR ILLEGAL AND RESIDENT ALIENS to receive government-run health care. OBAMA LIE #4!
5. Obama said the REPUBLICANS OFFER NO SOLUTIONS OF their own, only negative comments. House Republicans have OFFERED HUNDREDS OF AMENDMENTS to the Democrat's House and Senate Bills, all have been rejected. Also, Republicans HAVE SUBMITTED HR3200, a health care bill that does not have a "public option" and much more but Pelosi has tied this up in committees. Senate Republicans HAVE SUBMITTED S1099, the "Patients Choice Act" which keeps government out of the relationship between patients and doctors. OBAMA LIE #5.
