The Roanoke Slant

Roanoke Times, 9/22/09, Pg 5: Buried in tiny print back on page 5:
Obama says fine isn’t tax; actual bill says it is!
-
President Obama lied yet again when he gave ABC News' George Stephanopoulos a stern talking-to Sunday for suggesting that a mandate to buy health insurance would amount to a tax.
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/09/21/health-insurance-mandate-includes-tax-despite-obama-denial/
The truth is that clearly Senator Baucus includes in his Bill a proposed 35% excise tax on non-government health plans and he says so himself.
It also requires citizens to buy a health care policy even if they don’t want to do so. Clearly this is also a tax.
And one of the biggest taxes is the expansion of Medicaid that will result in huge state tax increases to cover a flood of new clients.
Why is Obama having so much difficulty telling the truth and why doesn’t the major media require him to do so?

Roanoke Times, 9/22/09, Pg 3: The Obama administration warned insurance companies Monday they face possible legal action for sending out information about the potential for lost benefits under health care legislation in Congress.

What a gross act of malfeasance and censorship by our new open and transparent Obama!
-
I personally asked Congressman Pierriello at his Rocky Mount town meeting:
Where is the list of Medicare service reductions and eliminations that will result from the $900 Million reduction in the Medicare budget at the very time millions of baby-boomers are entering the system.
His answer: That will not be published until after the law is passed!
What a gross and obscene process and procedure and insult to all Americans!
Talk about un-American health care activities and behavior!
