Obama 2003 uncut: Sure, I support single-payer health care

posted at 5:32 pm on August 4, 2009 by Allahpundit

I thought Ed had added this to his health-care post earlier but evidently not, so here you go in case you missed it on Drudge. This is the pushback to the White House’s insistence this morning that that viral vid about his fondness for single-payer quoted him out of context; watch the uncut version below and judge for yourself how out of context it was. Turns out the same guy who became a tax-cuttin’, traditional-marriage-supportin’ centrist just in time for last year’s election was also a fan of socialized medicine back in the day, before he needed independents to win the office he was after. Who knew?

While I have your attention, please be advised that your government is seeking information about subversives guilty of attacking the leader’s health-care plan with “fishy” statements — like, for example, “Barack Obama was once caught on video singing the praises of single-payer health care.” Please report these evildoers to flag@whitehouse.gov at your earliest convenience.

I could suggest a few other places that the White House can stick the reports.

Consider yourself reported to the appropriate authorities. Please pack a bag and wait by the front door. Someone will be by to collect you.

When do the the Black Panthers start showing up at townhall meetings?

BigD on August 4, 2009 at 5:37 PM

Idea: What if we flood the WH email inbox with all sorts of ridiculous reports. Like reporting the users of DKos, HuffPo, etc. This way you overwhelm their resources and they drop the program entirely.

If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy

Health Insurance Reform?????

I thought it was Health CARE Reform.

Oh, wait, if they call it Insurance reform, people will get the false idea that their insurance won’t go away, it’ll just be reformed.

So how does that make him a proponent of Single Payer Health Care?

Hillary’s camp released a side-by-side view of this as well during the campaign, and the Today Show asked Obama about it (he faked not being able to hear it and gave an off-topic answer.)

I just reported to flag@whitehouse.gov that there are individuals at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue that are engaging in a disinformation campaign about ObamaCare.

Be sure to let them know, too.

But before I had 100% hatred for him and his crappy healthscare plan (yes, report me to the white house now), I did hear in his own words what the vid here does. That he completely hates this nation should now not be a surprise to anyone.

Yes, hate for this nation. Because Hussein does not love it.

Apparently AnninCA thinks that anyone who’s concerned about how we are going to pay for all this largess is an idiot.

Obamacare isn’t just a Waterloo if the Democrats fail to enact it anymore, it’s now a disaster for them if they do manage to ram it down our throats and besides they’ve all but assured a Republican revival after just the first 6 months of a radical Presidency.

If the Right will just stay clear and practice Conservative principles the left will spend the next 3 years back peddling.

That’s why anytime you post, especially concerning ObamaCare, you get the reaction you do.

We want the government out of our lives and pockets. You don’t.

darwin on August 4, 2009 at 6:08 PM

AnninCa, Glenn Beck was on a few minutes ago and he was making fun of Dick Durbin claiming insurance companies are organizing the dissenters at town halls. He made a point to mention how insurance companies are bending over for Obama. He seemed to find the allusion of their collusion quite absurd, much like I find you.

This was the guy who originated all this stuff, the source for rest of the bloggers including heavyweights like Huff Poo and ultimately MSM like CNN, Atlantic, MSNBC etc. Details at Riehl, RSM and C4P.
