Obama spin can't sell this bottle of snake oil

Does
President Barack Obama
seem like a liar and a fraud to you? He certainly
does to me.
There is only one reason Obama wants his Obamacare health care bill rammed through Congress quickly and that is because he doesn't want anyone to know what is in it before it passes. Obama has admitted he does not know what is in the plan he is trying to force through.
The plan is filled with dead ends for citizens with private health care to force them into government-managed health care. There are fines and penalties for not being enrolled in a health care plan. Personal choices will be cut off from people wanting something other than Obamacare. Private health insurance companies will be forced out of business.
If Obamacare is such a good deal, ask your representatives in the U.S. Senate and House if they plan to enroll in Obamacare. You will find out, if they answer you, that specific language in the plan exempts them from this fiasco.
Obama admits that government underpayment for health care services is a major cost driver in medical care costs. So the prescription for this malady is more government solicited and underpaid services? I was concerned about the wealth redistribution plans of the new government, but now it is clear that the real risk is the relentless debt redistribution.
The Democratic-led Congress pushed unqualified real estate loans to the point of collapse of the industry and now they have health care in their sights. They aren't going to fix health care. They will only give us more government intrusion into our lives – the only tonic this president seems to believe in.
Remember, Obamacare will be run by the same people who now preside over Medicare, Medicaid and the Veterans Affairs hospitals.
