ObamaCare Support Eroding, and Anderson Cooper Asks Tacky Question on ‘Regis and Kelly’ (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on July 30, 2009
Despite increased efforts by Nancy “Liar of the House” Pelosi and other Democrats in Congress, as well as by the growing carbon footprint left by Pres. Obama’s ongoing “road trips” through America on Air Force One to push ObamaCare, Americans are less than enthusiastic.
Many are becoming unconvinced that the health care plan will be an improvement over what they currently have and it will cost much more. Especially since illegal immigrants will benefit from its provisions, while not contributing financially to the single-payer health care program.
Approval for the government-run health care plan is dropping faster than MSM journalist Anderson Cooper’s professionalism dropped this week while guest-hosting on Regis and Kelly… warning: silly diversion video next, shamelessly included for more traffic and higher search engine rankings.

Stay classy, Anderson.
Back to the New York Times/CBS News health care poll:
More Americans are expressing concerns that the Obama administration is ill-equipped to effectively run the single-payer, government health care system (the stimulus package has received scathing criticism for its wastefulness, payoffs to cronies, scamming, and loss of money). Recall what happened in June, when VP Joe Biden warned Americans of problems with Obama lacking a strong economic plan and a solid handle on the porkulus money, and audaciously saying that we pretty much to needed to lighten up and expect them to waste billions of dollars of taxpayers’ money:
VP Biden Says to Expect “Scamming & Waste” of Stimulus Money on His Watch: Billions at Stake, Bring in Wile E. Coyote. Sobering, despicable facts on how “seriously” this administration is about America’s financial welfare. It’s a friggin’ game to them… because, hey, it’s NOT THEIR MONEY they’re wasting. No worries, then, eh, mate? We’ll just tax Americans more if we run out.
More stimulus waste and economy crapolla by the Obama administration, just breaking:
Stimulus…or smut-ulus? and The Obama-conomy: “It’s worse than you think”
With such a dismal, laughable track record on the first piece of major legislation passed by this administration, who with half a brain wouldn’t doubt this administration’s ability to take over and control our health care system? Why would we want that, since a huge problem and raging expense with our current health care are Medicare and Medicaid… both run by the government. Let’s analyze the dismal conditions of Indian reservations’ health care and our VA hospitals… both run by the government.
Additionally, per the New York Times/CBS News poll, a growing number of American citizens are worried about a decrease in health care quality, losing freedoms like choosing their own doctors, the rationing of health care services, and overall course of treatments with ObamaCare.
If Team Obama is so cocky-confident about the financial savings and efficiencies it will launch with destroying our current health care system to launch ObamaCare, affecting millions upon millions of Americans, why can’t they get a far simpler program like “Cash for Clunkers” right? Only about 16,000 rebates have been processed and thousands more declined or delayed. Money is running out months ahead of schedule and small car dealerships are still waiting for checks to be issued to reimburse them for their mounting out-of-pocket payments of $4,500 to each customer for their auto clunker.

From New York Times:
New Poll Finds Growing Unease on Health Plan
By Adam Nagourney and Megan Thee-Brenan
NY TIMES
July 29, 2009President Obama’s ability to shape the debate on health care appears to be eroding as opponents aggressively portray his overhaul plan as a government takeover that could limit Americans’ ability to choose their doctors and course of treatment, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
Americans are concerned that revamping the health care system would reduce the quality of their care, increase their out-of-pocket health costs and tax bills, and limit their options in choosing doctors, treatments and tests, the poll found. The percentage who describe health care costs as a serious threat to the American economy — a central argument made by Mr. Obama — has dropped over the past month.

“We need to fix health care,” Mary Bevering, a Democrat from Fort Madison, Iowa, said in a follow-up interview, “but if the government creates the system, I’m afraid the quality of care will go down and costs will go up: We will pay more taxes.”
“It’s going to come down to regulation,” Ms. Bevering said. “What also worries me is whether we will be told what physician we can have.”

About the author
Americans are beginning to wake up and pay attention.
Obama and the libs in congress ain’t seen nuthin’ yet.
If the congressional representatives DARE to talk to us, they will get an earful.
August break may be their worst nightmare, that is unless they all fly all over the world for “fact finding missions”.
We need to make them understand that we have access to their voting records and we remember.
At this point, we can still FIRE THEM, and we need to tell them that.
AWESOME POST! Keep up the great work!
