Damning Video compiles Obama's broken promises on Cadillac, Mandates.
   

Obama:

"John McCain calls these plans 'Cadillac plans.' Now in some cases, it may be that a corporate CEO is getting too good a deal. But what if you’re a line worker making a good American car like the Cadillac? What if you’re one of the steelworkers who are working right here in Newport News, and you’ve given up wage increases in exchange for a better health care?

Well, Senator McCain believes you should pay higher taxes too. The bottom line: the better your health care plan – the harder you’ve fought for your good benefits – the higher the taxes you’ll pay. You see, Senator McCain would pay for his plan, in part, by taxing your health care benefits for the first time in history."

The person who narrates describes himself as a disappointed Obama supporter.

And I believe him.

You can decide for yourself and watch it HERE.*

6. Why not just say I'm paid by the WH to post here...
   
...that's the only way your post makes any sense.

13. Not really. Those of us who live in the real world understand the difference
   
a couple of months can make in where we stand on a given subject.


But that's fine. Tell the WH I want my overtime.

That's easier to swallow than believing Lord Zero lied for political expediency, isn't it?

10. One reason: I don't hate him, I just want him to live up to his promises.
   
Do you think that is unreasonable?

24. Yes, he did. He went behind closed doors with Billy Tauzin and Karen Ignagni
   
and cut deals. He then spent the rest of the health care debate sending Rahm over to beat on progressives to make sure the bills protected his deals with them and guaranteed him lucrative campaign donations from their industries. First time he said he'd help with the fight was when the middle class tax increase was threatened.

2. The Obama bashing is so juvenile around here
   
We come here to discuss Democratic politics not bash our President. Really low.

Translation: If you can't be a  Obama, then don't    .

7. Who introduced hate into the discussion?
   
This video shows the president opposing what he is now supporting, even DEMANDING from the House Dems, and explaining WHY those very provisions are LOUSY.'

If you have nothing of substance to contribute, I guess it's easier to resort to words like "hate."

Cries of hate and racism are what makes up debate for the left.

21. I think HE could have done better and SHOULD have tried harder to keep his word.
   
I voted for the man on that basis, at least in part.

Is that unreasonable?

23. It's not unreasonable to expect a politician to refrain from supporting that which he has condemned

And it's not unreasonable to view unexplained flip flops on such issues as demonstrating a lack of integrity.

I don't look for this thread to last too much longer.

40. You're assuming it's true. It's been debunked, many many times. 
 But go ahead and believe what you want. That's what teabaggers do.

  Batshit insane.

I'm surprised that hasn't been locked yet.

The kaput primitive, the "kpete" primitive, posted something similar, and that got locked, like locked real fast and tight.
