America’s Schizophrenia Over “UnInsured” Numbers
Posted by: Gribbit // Category: Blog Entries, General, Gribbit, Guest Contributors, NewsThroughout this
health death care debate, we have listened to the left make claims as to the numbers of people in the United States who live without health care coverage. But the number is constantly changing. First it was 47 million, then 30, then 48, then 50, then 46 and so on…
This kind of reminds me of a movie character. In the 1962 version (the better version by-the-way) of ‘The Manchurian Candidate‘ there is a character named Sen. John Yerkes Iselin, who happens to be the bumbling shill husband of Raymond Shaw’s mother (a closet Communist operative). Iselin can’t seem to remember the number of “card carrying Communists who are in the Defense Department“. The idiot says various numbers until an argument with his wife produces an easy to remember final number – 57. After the “57 Varieties” on a Heinz ketchup label.
Could this be how the Infestation is arriving at it’s schizophrenic numbers? Could they be seeing these often changing numbers on ketchup bottles? Or is it beer bottles? After-all the Emperor likes having beer summits.
When faced with the death care plan being outed for covering illegal aliens, the White House had to change their first “official” number from 47 million to 30 million in order to remove the estimated, number of illegal aliens present in the United States. This was so that the Emperor could avoid the charge of liar that has been raised since Rep. Joe Wilson so accurately let loose, “You Lie” during the Emperor’s attempt to brow-beat members of both houses of Congress in a joint session.
The fact of the matter is excluding illegal aliens, those who could afford to buy insurance if they chose to buy it, and those who would qualify for existing government subsidized health coverage, the real number of uninsured is more along the lines of 7 – 12 million. A number by the way that is on the rise due to the President’s lack of an economic policy.
For these estimated 7 – 12 million uninsured, The President, the Liberal controlled Congress, and the very compliant media want the American taxpayers to throw more than $1 trillion at the problem. But hey, that’s how we solved problems in the liberal mind. We redistribute the nation’s wealth and use the redistributed money to “solve” problems that may or may not exist.
In the first 9 months of the Obama Infestation, this President has doubled the amount of debt owed by this nation over its 233 year history. Official unemployment numbers are approaching 10% while the actual number of unemployed/under-employed in this nation is actually over 16%. The Obama Infestation’s budget shortfall for the current fiscal year (which just began incidentally) is in excess of $1 trillion. But instead of taking steps to correct the budget shortfalls and creating conditions whereby more Americans can find work, Barack Hussein Obama is flying about the world making apologies for a myriad of “sins” that he believes this nation has made, and pitching Chicago for the site of the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. A failed pitch I am happy to report. And just announced today, he has been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize. For what? No one seems to know – including many liberals! But now he is going to have to fly back to his beloved Europia in order to claim his “dishonor”.
This guy spends more time on Air Force One than he does in Washington. But I digress…
With nearly 40% of his cabinet posts unfilled, the Emperor has found over 60 radicals to serve as “special advisers to the Emperor President (aka: Czars), some of which formally worked for SEIU, the Tides Foundation, ACORN, and the Apollo Alliance, among others. He’s found time to parade out 150 “doctors” as a show of support for his Death Care Plan. I say “doctors” because I’m not quite sure if all 150 of them were Medical Doctors. I suspect some have PhD’s in Art History, Sociology, and Korean Underwater Basket Weaving for all we know. The event was so staged that the White House handed out the lab coats worn by the “doctors” in the photo op.
He can find time to do all of the above, but he cannot find time to eliminate the waste and abuse in the government Congress that is elevating the budget deficit and ultimately, the national debt. Nor can he find time to better the business environment in this nation. A better business environment brings about more jobs. Many of these jobs would be taken by those “uninsured” we hear about so much.
News flash – Mr. President, if the uninsured get jobs then they will become insured.

Mr. President – are you paying attention. This is of course a teaching moment. Should we open some beer?
Our President is a petulant child. He has gotten himself elected to a position that he has no idea how to hold. He claims to be a leader when all he does is speak and appease the enemies of this nation. America is tired of the false claims, shaky numbers, and bad fiscal policy. Something has got to change but the first opportunity that we, the electorate, have to make the needed change is November 2, 2010. Can we hold out until then? I pray that we can.
