Obama says prostate cancer can be diagnosed by more colonoscopies.
NOT.

Obama says that instead of giving a 100 year old active person a
pacemaker, they should give her a pain pill. (Psssssssst. Pain pills
don't work on irregular heartbeats.)

He sez we need to do a breathalyzer on a child asthma patient.

Lots more, but I'm busy right now.

Make fun of a small inconsistency if you must. Both are easily treated
if caught early by a relatively simple test.

I agree with the sentiment. The guy with the ketch next door just had
colorectal cancer surgery. He was one of those who wouldn't get a
colonoscopy.

We have several self employed dock walker types around here who aren't
going to get tested because they have no insurance. And we will pay if
and when they get sick.

To his critics, Obama must say everything perfectly and in the proper
order. They probably weren't critical of Bush's mangling of his
speeches.

Bush was actually worse than Obama in many speeches.

Not to mention lying in almost everyone of them, and starting a war on
false pretenses and not having a plan to pay for it.

C'mon, man. You're like a hippie stuck in the sixties. Or, do you want to
go back and talk about Eisenhower and Nixon? I mean, they're relative to
today's situation, but speed up a little and come into the present tense.

Hmmmmmm. Starting a war and not having a plan to pay for it ..............
Sounds like starting a Utopian nation and not having a plan to pay for it.

Both ideas are ludicrous.

Yeah, when I asked yesterday to see violent opposition to Health Care
where folks are driving speakers off the stage and down the street like
the protests against republicans and the minutemen in the last few
years.. I got back a couple links from my bud Loogie, one of them going
back to the Nixon Administration... Guess Grandma really didn't bring a
nazi sign or brandish a weapon or force any speakers to leave the
building without having a say.. It just blows me away how ****ed off the
left is about folks speaking their minds, but never said anything about
the violent protests I noted before. The other thing that gets me is
their opposition is so vapid, they can't even accept that someone else
can honestly have a different point of view... The consider anybody who
has a different point of view, to be a lesser human intelligence..
Reminds me a lot of the KKK clowns I met in 'Bama... You were either
with them, or inferior...

When my father was 80, he had a hip replaced, under Bozomacare I
suspect they would not do so because an 80 yr old prob would not live
long enough to get any use out of it. By his 86th b-day, he had worn
the first replacement out (too much adventure travel like hiking up
volcanoes etc) and had it replaced again which I am sure BozomaCare
would not do. By 88 he suddenly developed Parkinsons for which I
suspect Bozomacare would do very little. His solution to keep up his
ability to walk as long as possible was to literally take up a lot
more walking. By 91, had to use a walker but still goes a pretty good
distance every day. At 92, sudden heart probs and I suspect a
BozomaCare death panel would sentence him to death. Without
BozomaCare, he will prob live to be 100. His health care is a combo
of VA, private and medicare. He has some sort of pvt insurance that
very happily pays him to stay out of a nursing home. This was a
nursing home policy my parents bought about 20 yrs ago but I do not
have all the details. The policy pays if they go into a nursing home
but also pays somehow if they stay out of one when they have probs.

Ya know, young men are rarely proud of their parents but as we age our
previously clueless parents become admirable.

More misinformation. You'll hitch your wagon to anything, doesn't
matter if it's made up.

Do you recognize the fallicy in your logic when you base conclusions
on assumptions that conveniently fit your prejudices?

You sound like Limbaugh. Full of ****.

What's not true about gov run health insurance taking care of his dad?
My dad got a Medicare-paid knee replacement at +80 a couple years ago.
Doesn't keep him from whining about Obama.
Common sense/logical thought and politics are incompatible for some.
Politics is, after all, the art of mind control.
Some minds are easily assimilated.

I was reacting to this...

"When my father was 80, he had a hip replaced, under Bozomacare I
suspect they would not do so because an 80 yr old prob would not live
long enough to get any use out of it."

This is the sort of strawman fear mongering that has no basis in
reality but, like Limbaugh, if you can construct that strawman and
create some circular references, you're home free with a baseless
attack on whomever.

Logic is on display for sure, bassackwards as it might be.
