Liar?

On Wednesday evening, Barrack Obama laid out his plan for National health care. During his speech to Congress, Representative Joe Wilson committed a serious breach of decorum by calling the President a liar. He apologized immediately after the speech. While the apology was needed, it was not an acknowledgement that the President told the truth. Interestingly, neither Obama or Wilson can make their case on truth or lies. THERE IS NO BILL! Not even a written plan.

Obama cannot claim that a bill not yet written excludes illegal aliens. Wilson cannot make the claim that an unwritten bill covers illegal aliens. The same can be said regarding federally funded abortions. Nobody knows yet. So we really need to look at past actions to get an indication of future actions. If you look fairly on Obama's previous policies and actions, you must side with Representative Wilson's view. The only bill presented to the House of Representatives did not explicitly cover illegal aliens, but neither did it provide adequate checks to identify illegals. Any bill that gets the President's nod will cover payment for abortion. It is in his record - the man will not make abortions harder to get or he risks his constituents.

Regardless, Representative Wilson was way out of line in calling the President a liar during a joint session of Congress. While he and I share our disrespect for the man, we must respect the office. To do otherwise would be acting as the liberal Democrats have for the past 6 years. I am glad he apologized, but would rather he never made the comment.

But is our President a liar? If you believe the President is pushing his plan so that all Americans will have health care, you have been deceived, and deceivers are liars. This is all about power, and the consolidation of power in Washington. Obama is managing this initiative as he has prior initiatives - get it enacted before the details see the light of day.

I was sent an article written my Thomas Sowell that really makes the case. I encourage you to give this short read a few minutes of your time.
