During his presidential campaign, Obama said that his mother died of cancer after being denied coverage for a preexisting condition. He used her image in a campaign ad, repeated the claim in debates, and used the same rhetoric as President when he tried to sell ObamaCare to the American people. But a new book by New York Times reporter Janny Scott says that Obama’s mother, Ann Dunham, had health insurance through her employer and was only denied disability insurance.

President Obama repeatedly pledged that under his health care measure, Americans would be able to keep their doctors. However, with rising costs, many employers will dump their health care plans and force workers into the state health care exchanges (unless you belong to one of the unions getting ObamaCare waivers.) A survey by McKinsey & Company found that more than 30% of companies will discontinue coverage for their workers.

During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama said: “We have the chance to tell all those corporate lobbyists that the days of them setting the agenda in Washington are over. … I don’t take a dime of their money, and when I am President, they won’t find a job in my White House.” At least a dozen former lobbyists got top jobs in his administration at the beginning of his presidency, according to Politico, and National Public Radio reported the Obama administration was granting waivers to lobbyists to circumvent the ban.

Palin was spot on with her Death Panel comment.........there are death panels built into Obamacare...Every family has a death panel. It is called not being able to afford certain treatment. There is nothing in Obamacare that says Sara Palin can not pay out of her own pocket to extend your grannies life foe 2 more weeks. Muther fucker eever insurance policy has a death panel. So Sara Palin was a lying sac of shit and that link does not say that Dean said Palin was right.
And Howard Dean agreed...................

Here you go Professor.....hard to believe you'd be stupid enough to ask....well, wait. No, it wouldn't.You did poorly timmie. You can't tell the difference between asking someone in a wheel chair to stand up (Biden in Missouri, 2008) and someone drawing a momentary blank (ever hear Obama give a speech sans teleprompter, its painful to watch and hear).
1. "As Putin rears his head and comes into the air space of the United States of America, where– where do they go? It's Alaska. It's just right over the border." --Sarah Palin, explaining why Alaska's proximity to Russia gives her foreign policy experience, interview with CBS's Katie Couric, Sept. 24, 2008 (Watch video clip) The Soviet Union encroached on US air space all the time in Alaska. Where's the beef?
2. "The America I know and love is not one in which my parents or my baby with Down Syndrome will have to stand in front of Obama's 'death panel' so his bureaucrats can decide, based on a subjective judgment of their 'level of productivity in society,' whether they are worthy of health care. Such a system is downright evil." –-Sarah Palin, in a message posted on Facebook about Obama's health care plan, Aug. 7, 2009 Where's the beef. Check out the video where GB Shaw talked about having to justify your existence in his perfect society. The death panels (though the term is incendiary) are real. Even Howard Dean acknowledges their existence in the law.
3. "All of 'em, any of 'em that have been in front of me over all these years." --Sarah Palin, unable to name a single newspaper or magazine she reads, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008 (Watch video clip) Where's the beef? You can't tell the difference between stupid and a brain fart?
4. "Well, let's see. There's ― of course in the great history of America there have been rulings that there's never going to be absolute consensus by every American, and there are those issues, again, like Roe v. Wade, where I believe are best held on a state level and addressed there. So, you know, going through the history of America, there would be others but ―" --Sarah Palin, unable to name a Supreme Court decision she disagreed with other than Roe vs. Wade, interview with Katie Couric, CBS News, Oct. 1, 2008 (Watch video clip)
Where's the beef? Once again, brain fart versus stupidity. You're not too good at this Timmie.
5. "'Refudiate,' 'misunderestimate,' 'wee-wee'd up.' English is a living language. Shakespeare liked to coin new words too. Got to celebrate it!'" --a Tweet sent by Sarah Palin in response to being ridiculed for inventing the word "refudiate," proudly mistaking her illiteracy for literary genius, July 18, 2010 Borderline at best. Then again new words pop up all the time but we don't recognize them at the time; tweet (not the bird sound), sexting, wee-wee'd up
6. "He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh, by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed." --Sarah Palin, botching the history of Paul Revere's midnight ride, June 3, 2011 Yes, she needs to be able to converse about our history. Ignorance I'll grant you but not stupidity. An ignorance probably shared by half the people in this country.
7. "But obviously, we've got to stand with our North Korean allies." --Sarah Palin, after being asked how she would handle the current hostilities between the two Koreas, interview on Glenn Beck's radio show, Nov. 24, 2010 Brain fart. Saw the interview, it was obvious that though she got the directions wrong she was talking about South Korea. ...my muslim faith...(your Christian faith)...wha....yes, my Christian faith--Obama interview on the the skippy show.
8. "Especially within hours of a tragedy unfolding, journalists and pundits should not manufacture a blood libel that serves only to incite the very hatred and violence they purport to condemn. That is reprehensible." --Sarah Palin, defending her fiery campaign rhetoric in the wake of the Arizona shooting massacre by invoking a phrase ("blood libel") that typically refers historically to the alleged murder of Christian babies by Jews, Jan. 12, 2011 Once again, where's the beef? You don't like a word or phrase and you call that stupidity? You have trouble with simple concepts don't you?
9. "We used to hustle over the border for health care we received in Canada. And I think now, isn't that ironic?" --Sarah Palin, admitting that her family used to get treatment in Canada's single-payer health care system, despite having demonized such government-run programs as socialized medicine that will lead to death-panel-like rationing, March 6, 2010 Where's the beef again?
10. "Ohh, good, thank you, yes." --Sarah Palin, after a notorious Canadian prank caller, posing as French President Nicolas Sarkozy, complimented her on the documentary about her life, Hustler's "Nailin Paylin," Nov. 1, 2008 (Read more about the prank call, watch the video and see the transcript) Prank calls??? Really? Lets talk about Corrine Brown who apparently got pranked by the entire press corps when she didn't know the difference between Bosnia and Freedonia. Of course, a woman committed suicide in London after falling for a "funny" prank call. Originally Posted by timpage
