The White House and their allies are spinning this story like mad trying to imply, in some cases stating, that it is a lie and that candidate Obama never spoke of making the government a one stop shop for all your health care needs. That Obama never spoke of a time when there would be no more private health care. They can spin all the want, but Obama said it.
The transcript is below. Read the whole transcript HERE.
KAREN TUMULTY: Senator, on the question that is really the lynchpin of all these
other questions, which is coverage, there are only a few ways of getting there. Could you at least give us a sense of where your thinking is on this? Have you accepted or rejected any of the concepts like an employer mandate or require that employers provide coverage? An individual mandate where people would have to buy into the system the way they do with auto insurance?
Are you wedded, for instance, to this idea, as the first two candidates were, that we
basically should stick with this system in which most people get their coverage from their employers or have you found any positives to the idea that's being offered by your colleague, Ron Wyden, to essentially break that system and come up with a new one? Could you at least give us a sense of, you know, which possibilities here intrigue you and which ones that maybe you're dismissing at this point?
BARACK OBAMA: Well, we have a plan that we are in the process of unveiling. What
we want to do is try to set up a series of round table discussions before we actually
announce it. Not just with experts, which we've already done, but rather with frontline workers, with nurses, with doctors, with consumers, which we're going to be scheduling over the next couple of months in terms of rolling it out. But let me just address a couple of points.
As I indicated before, I think that we're going to have to have some system where people can buy into a larger pool. Right now their pool typically is the employer, but there are other ways of doing it. I would like to -- I would hope that we could set up a system that allows those who can go through their employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort. But I don't think we're going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There's going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out where we've got a much more portable system. Employers still have the option of providing coverage, but many people may find that they get better coverage, or at least coverage that gives them more for health care dollars than they spend outside of their employer. And I think we've got to facilitate that and let individuals make that choice to transition out of employer coverage.
I do believe that employers are going to have to pay or play. I think that employers either have to provide health care coverage for their employees or they've got to make a decision that they're going to help pay for those who don't have coverage outside the employer system. So I think that's one important principle. And as I said, the second important principle is that we're going to have to put more money into prevention, more money into chronic care management, more money into medical technology, because that is how we're going to accrue the savings that help us provide subsidies to those who don't already have it.
So private business will have to pay or play? Which company can complete with the government? Sure, Obama says that there will still be private coverage, but he plans that it will only be able to survive for 15 to 20 years and then we will have bureaucrats deciding our health care.
This isn't creeping Socialism, it is leaping Socialism. And Obama and his handlers are making the plans.

Leftist Style Against Obama Racist
Obama 'Joker' Poster Causing a Stir in L.A.
Los Angeles Urban Policy Roundtable President Earl Ofari Hutchinson is calling the depiction, politically mean spirited and dangerous.
Hutchinson is challenging the group or individual that put up the poster to have the courage and decency to publicly identify themselves.
"Depicting the president as demonic and a socialist goes beyond political spoofery," says Hutchinson, "it is mean-spirited and dangerous."
"We have issued a public challenge to the person or group that put up the poster to come forth and publicly tell why they have used this offensive depiction to ridicule President Obama."

Obama's Beer Bust Was A Teachable Moment
via Taxman Blog. Follow the links to American ThinkerCompassion when nobody's looking
Sergeant Crowley, the sole class act in this trio, helps the handicapped Professor Gates down the stairs, while Barack Obama, heedless of the infirmities of his friend and fellow victim of self-defined racial profiling, strides ahead on his own. So who is compassionate? And who is so self-involved and arrogant that he is oblivious?
When will a modern day Rosa Parks speak out against our modern elite that deign to order, against our wishes, our own good. When will a modern Howard Beale scream into our TV and say "I'm as mad as hell, and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
I am sick to death of a lifetime of smug "intellectuals", smug bureaucrats, professors and the modern sick Eloi establishment that look down on the current workers as nothing. Except when there are elections, then they curse and say, "F**K Middle America."
How ironic that those that once fought the elite have become a parody of what they fought. Welcome to Obama's world where a photograph speak thousands of words about Obama's mindset. A photograph that shows a man accused of acting stupidly and of being a racist helping his accuser down steps to avoid a fall while his Presidents strides confidently, and obliviously, into the bright new world devoid of reality and having learned nothing from history.
Modern (and angry) liberals are as repugnant as the country club Republicans of the 1960's that felt that they, ie their government, knew best.
Rudy had it right when he said;
GIULIANI: He's actually right. It is teachable. Here's the lesson.
HANNITY: Shut up.
GIULIANI: You shut up. And also — and also, shut up when a cop like is asking you questions. How about you don't insult him, you don't yell, you don't scream? My father taught me that when I was very young. I grew up in Brooklyn. It was a good lesson. Not a bad lesson. Colin Powell said essentially the same thing.
Good advice. Shut up and govern based on our Constitution, not as a bunch of know-it-all faux intellectuals. We don't want your help and we definitely do not need your imposition of your lack of traditional values foisted onto our long held and well thought out system of society.
But we will still help you down some steps and to cross a street if you need it. That is our way.
Franken Frankly Isn't Up To The Task Of Being A Senator
Franken feuds with T. Boone Pickens
Franken, who was seated talking to someone else, did not stand when Pickens said hello. Instead, Franken began to berate him about the billionaire’s financing of the Swift Boat ads in 2004.
Franken is up to being a lapdog for the left or a campaign junk-yard dog for progressive and socialist causes, but he's severely lacking as a comedian, radio host and senator.
Minnesota should be so proud. Gloria Wise sure is.

Our Post Racial Republic Saved By FTD & Victimhood Of Gates
...Mr. Gates challenged police to explain why they would believe "a white woman over a black man".
Gates opened the door and exclaimed "Why? Because I'm a black man in America?"
I then asked Gates if there was anyone else in the residence. While yelling, he told me that it none of my business and accused me of being a racist police officer.
JUAN WILLIAMS, NEWS ANALYST, NATIONAL PUBLIC RADIO:
And if he had seen the police report, he would have seen that the description, done by a Hispanic officer who wrote up the report, says that Gates came out of there with a lot of anger, fury at the police, raised the race issue, was talking about the policeman's mother, making all sorts of profane comments, and pushing the issue.
BAIER: And in fact, the Cambridge police said today said at this press conference that the house had been burglarized just recently.
WILLIAMS: Correct.
And so the cops were called there not to harass anybody. Somebody saw a break-in taking place, and by all accounts, he was forcing the door to the house. The cops come in, and I think the cops from all the reporting, and Gates is not denying any of the reporting, did what they were supposed to do.
Henry Louis Gates Jr. sends caller flowers of ‘gratitude’
I think graciousness has reached new heights in America when a Harvard professor of racial relations finds it necessary to send flowers for acting racist.

Another $2 Billion For Cash For Clunkers Debacle. Dems Love Taxes For Clunkers
Another $2 Billion for what the Democrats say is the most popular and successful program eveh! They are stunned at how popular it is and are equally stunned at how good it is for our economic recovery.
Stunned? They are? That stupid? Yes, they are if they didn't think people would line up for free money. Handouts. Payola. Bribes.
Well, it's free money as defined by Democrats. Just like people who think that using credit cards doesn't hurt, Democrats think that bills that do not have to be paid immediately are good.
It's bad. How much will this ridiculous program cost us in the end? It would shame even a member of congress if they could or would read. Maybe. Putting off payments on debt that shouldn't have been incurred in the first place is not only stupid, it is expensive. That's why a sister was stunned when she realized she was actually spending over $200 for a $100 item by the time she paid off the card. She cut up her cards. Only we can cut up our government's credit cards. At the ballot box. Including republicans who vote for this crap.
Plus, nobody seems to care how badly and deeply peripheral industries such as parts dealers, repair shops, used car dealers and others will be hurt, but who cares, because Democrats are stunned that a program that gives away "free" money is so popular. How do you deal with people acting so stupidly?
Besides, voting for another $2 billion takes the spotlight off how poorly thought out and poorly run the program is and how inept this administration and Congress is. Just ask dealers still waiting for repayment of money already laid out for this idiocy.

White Hater Gates Wants To 'Move On' To Improve US
Its unbelievable that this guy is a teacher. Even if it is at a university like Harvard.
Gates says it's time to 'move on' from his arrest
Gates added that he hoped his arrest would lead to a greater understanding about racial profiling in America.
"If my experience leads to the lessening of the occurrence of racial profiling, then I would find that enormously gratifying," Gates said on The Root. "Because, in the end, this is not about me at all; it is about the creation of a society in which 'equal justice before law' is a lived reality."
Dr. Gates On Whitey: "Malcolm X Was Talking About the White Man Was the Devil... It Was Great"
LAMB: At one point you had a line in there, something to the effect, "My mother despised white people."
GATES: My mother hated white people.
LAMB: All her life?
GATES: Probably. I didn't know until -- in 1959 we were watching Mike Wallace's documentary called "The Hate that Hate Produced." It was about the Nation of Islam and I couldn't believe -- I mean, Malcolm X was talking about the white man was the devil and standing up in white people's faces and telling them off. It was great. I mean, it's what black people did behind closed doors, but they would never do it in -- I mean, they were too vulnerable to do it, say, where they worked, at the paper mill or downtown, as we would call it. And here was a guy who had the nerve to do that, and I think if I had been a character in a cartoon, my eyes would have gone Doing! -- like this. I couldn't believe it. As I sat cowering in a corner of our living room, I glanced over at Mama and her face was radiant. I mean, this smile -- beatific smile started to transform her face. And she said quite quietly, "Amen." And then she said, "All right now," and she sat up and she said, "Yes."
And she loved Malcolm X and she loved what the Muslims were doing.
If Gates can play this right, and with Obama's help, he will be able to turn this bruhaha into millions. Wasn't that his goal from the start?

Carol Rosenberg: Terrorist Apologist Slurs Naval Officer With Sexual Harassment
This "lady" has quite a history of attacking our military, supporting terrorists and a mouth that never stops and is generally filthy and vulgar.
She is a real catch for the Miami Herald.
Man Bites Dog: U.S. Navy Commander Files Sex Complaint Against Female Miami Herald Journo
FishbowlDC Exclusive: US Navy Commander Jeffrey D. Gordon has filed a sexual harassment complaint against the Miami Herald's Carol Rosenberg.
FishbowlDC obtained a copy of the July 22, 2009 letter addressed to Miami Herald Senior VP and Executive Editor Anders Gyllenhaal. In the complaint, Gordon calls for a "thorough investigation" to put an end to Rosenberg's "appalling behavior" that includes comments about the Commander's sexual orientation.
The complaint outlines examples of Rosenberg's alleged "abusive and degrading, comments of an explicitly sexual nature."
Read the rest if you can stomach journalism at its worst and at its lowest.

Race Relations Set Back Decades Because Someone Acted 'Stupidly'
Blue pill minus red pill equals a black pill. Unfortunately.
One, an officer of the law who, as a Boston cop once gave a dying Reggie Lewis mouth-to-mouth resuscitation in a desperate bid to save the Celtic superstar’s life 16 years ago. Another is a guy who is a "black scholar" who is teaching Harvard students about diversity and understanding about a "racist" and "hateful" society and another, who happens to be a president of the United States of America, who is supposed to have the best network of knowledge in the world. The latter referred to his buddy as "Skip."
And he didn't even know the facts.
He is a racist.
Obama Rejects The Blame Game Unless
Last night's press conference was like a freshman's paper outlining the reasons that the Chinese bombed Pearl Harbor, but with less facts.
Obama had one of his best performances since being elected, even with questions that hadn't been planted, but he had few facts, little knowledge and offered no leadership.
Obama did point out what a fair guy he is along with his Democrat peers because he refuses to play the blame game, a game he detests.
To support his statement I did a fast check:
QUESTION: If you don't get this, isn't this a fight inside the Democratic Party and that Republicans really aren't playing a -- you can't really blame the Republicans for this one?
OBAMA: Well, first of all, you haven't seen me out there blaming the Republicans. I've been a little frustrated by some of the misinformation that's been coming out of the Republicans, but that has to do with, as you pointed out, politics.

Obama On Health Care: "Why should we pay for things that don't work?"
Why are we paying for government?
Madam Pelosi Says She Has The Votes That Will Kill Her Party
If true, ahem, then some Blue Dogs and possibly some RINOs will have some 'splaining to do to already angry constituents. They will probably think that mere voters wouldn't understand the arm twisting, heavy pressure and outright threats that they got, but then they also don't understand just how angry voters are now and getting more so each day.
They need to be reminded that a vote with Pelosi will translate into at least tens of thousands of votes against them in the next election. As it should.
Pelosi Says She Has Votes to Pass House Health Plan
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said she has the votes to pass legislation overhauling the U.S. health- care system as Democratic Party leaders moved closer to an agreement with rebellious members of their own party.
Leaders are “making progress” with Democrats who want more cost cuts in the legislation, Pelosi told reporters in Washington today, a day after President Barack Obama met with a group of Democrats to try to convince them to back the plan.
“I have no question we have the votes on the floor of the House to pass this legislation,” Pelosi said.
