Best Quote of the Week Against ObamaCare… from the UK
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on August 21, 2009
If you don’t usually read online publications from overseas, I highly recommend that you check out foreign correspondent Gerald Warner’s articles that are posted on the United Kingdom’s Telegraph. Warner’s a huge non-fan of Pres. Obama, nicknaming him “President Pantywaist.” If you’re not familiar with the term, let me just say it isn’t complimentary.
Warner has his own unique way of turning a phrase and always can crack me up with his political/social commentary pieces, even on serious topics. A talented, witty rascal who doesn’t tolerate fools.
The following quote, from one of Warner’s articles earlier this week, effortlessly nails the socialized health care failure in the UK and the inescapable doom that awaits America if ObamaCare is adopted. So, I’m awarding it the “Best Quote of the Week Against ObamaCare” Award:
From Gerald Warner, Telegraph.co.uk: President Pantywaist in retreat: Barack Obama hoists the white flag over Stalinist health care proposals:
President Pantywaist has been found out and it will get worse. The one glimmer of realism he displayed was when he recently told an audience in Montana that, with regard to health care, he was “not in favour of the British system”. Perhaps he had just seen the latest figures from the Office of National Statistics revealing that more than 30,000 people have died in England and Wales from hospital infections in just five years. Translated proportionately into American demographics, that would be 150,000 fatalities. Not the best advertisement for socialised health care.

About the author
Fix healthcare by throwing self-serving politicians out of office
Why did Barack Obama attack pharmaceutical companies before and now he has teamed up with them to promote his health care plan? Why are all the tort lawyers big democratic supporters and multi-millionaires? Obama’s true intentions are so obvious that even the left is starting to express concerns. For example, on August 10, CBS Evening News correspondent Sharyl Attkisson filed a report stating that “the White House agreed not to seek price controls on drugs for seniors on Medicare and would not support importing cheaper drugs from Canada.” According to Attkisson, “The pharmaceutical industry is now so firmly in the President’s camp it’s developing plans to spend up to $150 billion promoting it with TV ads.”
According to the acting president of Public Citizen and founder and director of Public Citizen’s Health Research Group, Dr. Sidney Wolfe, “An all sort of off the record deal was reached that is very bad for the American public.” Other experts say that for their cooperation, Obama is allowing pharmaceutical companies to charge $50 for a $2 pill and is assuring them that there will be no changes to the laws that make it near impossible for less expensive generic drugs to reach the American market.
Unless tort lawyers, the pharmaceutical lobby and other special interest groups like the AMA, ADA and the AARP are dealt with to preserves the Constitution and the free market system, while also protecting the medical provider and consumer, no healthcare plan can work.
