The Full Obama Interview

I Promise, He said that during his campaign too, 11 months later his promises fell between the cracks. I believe he talks the talk in circles and can be interpret many different ways, I realize its just words, no Real Meanings, just words put together in a certain way to make you forget what the point was in the first place - I'd say take more give less whatever it takes, I think this way should be that way,I promise I will, but not for lower incomes- WAIT, do I sound like him? Sorry. I just don't believe He is a supporter of what this Country Stands for, We all are different in our own way and that's his problem.

I have issues with being forced to have health ins. I choose to not have it, it is more affordable for me not to. I am very healthy, I don't take advantage of the system, I have been to the dr. maybe 2 dozen times in my entire life at 43 by the way. The way he says just like auto ins.it is a law to have it so should we humans.Well cars are considered deadly weapons you hit someone they get seriously hurt or killed and ins. is supposed to pay for those things. Now as a human I don't consider myself a deadly weapon or a threat to society so how dare he force me to have something I don't want! Just like NB said it's opening more doors that really need to stay closed. Penalties for being over weight, penalties for eating meat, penalties for not owning a pet Etc.etc.etc. Where is it going to stop? I just wish his term would hurry up and get over with! This country is going to longer be land of the free, it's land of the do what the gov't wants you to do or be penalized!

Why can't the American people have the same insurance plan that the president and the congressmen and women have? They don't have to pay for it or anything, and have all thier health problems taken care of by good doctors.And ALL of this is taken care of by the TAXPAYERS.

Sorry I posted a comment about Parkland Memorial hospital and my prior post before that didn't show up so I'm posting it again hoping it goes through and will explain the Parkland Memorial post. As we know Obama is obsessed with this healthcare bill because it is going to create probably the biggest tax increase scam in the history of our country. It's going to create more massive government corruption which means higher taxes for all, any race,creed,liberal,conservative etc. Americans have lost their jobs,homes and a lot of simple possessions needed for everyday life and they are holding back stimulus money until closer to election time! Then they will use our tax dollars to lower our taxes on some "record" tax breaks before the elections in 2010. Another reason for the rush on this healthcare bill is they have brainwashed many people to be apathetic and believe that they care about you and will take care of you. They want as much healing time as possible so that people don't stay angry and vote them out. It's all going to backfire on them I believe this time if people know the facts about this healthcare scam. How it works? Create a bill with many issues and distractions to get peoples attention off the issue itself and settle for exactly what they wanted in the first place. We'll ammend it later is their motive and they will.Anyway I saw Obama on TV a few months back and a reporter questioned him about why the rush on healthcare and shouldn't the illegal alien issue be dealt with first because of the cost that they put on the economy and Obama answered that he will "deal with the immigration issue next year right now we have to get an affordable healthcare plan for all americans". Obviously he is ignorant or doesn't see what the cost is for the costs of illegal aliens in our country so, read the attached with factual links below...
1. $11 Billion to $22 billion is spent on welfare to illegal aliens each year by state governments.

2. $2.2 Billion dollars a year is spent on food assistance programs such as food stamps, WIC, and free school lunches for illegal aliens.

3. $2.5 Billion dollars a year is spent on Medicaid for illegal aliens.

4. $12 Billion dollars a year is spent on primary and secondary school education for children here illegally and they cannot speak a word of English!

5. $17 Billion dollars a year is spent for education for the American-born children of illegal aliens, known as anchor babies.

6. $3 Million Dollars a DAY is spent to incarcerate illegal aliens.

7. 30% percent of all Federal Prison inmates are illegal aliens.

8. $90 Billion Dollars a year is spent on illegal aliens for Welfare and Social Services by the American taxpayers.

9. $200 Billion dollars a year in suppressed American wages are caused by the illegal aliens.

10. The illegal aliens in the United States have a crime rate that's two and a half times that of white non-illegal aliens.
In particular, their children, are going to make a huge additional crime problem in the US .

11. During the year of 2005 there were 4 to 10 MILLION illegal aliens that crossed our Southern Border also, as many as 19,500 illegal aliens from Terrorist Countries. Millions of pounds of drugs, cocaine, meth, heroin and marijuana, crossed into the U. S. from the Southern border.

12. The National Policy Institute, estimated that the total cost of mass deportation would be between $206 and $230 billion or an average cost of between $41 and $46 billion annually over a five year period.'

13. In 2006, illegal aliens sent home $45 BILLION in remittances to their countries of origin.

14. 'The Dark Side of Illegal Immigration: Nearly One million sex crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants In The United States ..'

The total cost is a whopping $ 338.3 BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR AND IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY; IT IS $338,300,000,000.00 WHICH WOULD BE ENOUGH TO STIMULATE THE ECONOMY FOR THE CITIZENS OF THIS COUNTRY..........
Sorry I've tried copying and pasting several times but it won't let the verification links go through so I had to delete the links.

AS USUAL, HE DOESN'T ANSWER THE QUESTION; HE DODGES AROUND THE ISSUES WITH... A, PAUSE, A, PAUSE, A.....HE DOES NOT IN ANY WAY HAVE THE QUALIFICATIONS TO SIT IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!! HE THINKS HE CAN SPEAK HIS WAY AROUND ANY ISSUE WITHOUT COMMITTING HIMSELF TO "WHO" HE REALLY IS, AND HIS AGENDA!!!

GOD HELP US!!!

and ... People pay higher premiums based on their medical history already. So, to place a higher premium or fine on someone ...say with a heart pill that increases their weight and places them over 30 bmi or even someone who just struggles with their weight for personal reasons ... is a double slap in the face. Besides, saying someone should be penalized for the weight opens up the doors to other things. Like ... maybe penalties for a non-vegan lifestyle, penalties for not owning a pet which has been medically shown to decrease blood pressure, penalties for those who don't pray or pray to the "right" God .. where will they draw the line? We have to be careful to weight these decisions within the boundaries of the constitution and Bill of Rights. It's too reminiscent of Jim Crow laws imho.

Did anyone pick up the subtle hint that there will be no private insurance if he has his way. Listen at the beginning about govt funded abortions. He says the reason it will take a while is because he promised the insurance coverage you have wouldn't change and he wants to make sure that happens. That tells me that he's expecting that all of us will have government insurance. Uuughhh ... I hope this horrible bill doesn't get passed and that Obama listens to people who say they don't want this "change".

enough is enough with this mandate health care, go after the goverment and congress if you don't act now they will impose you and mandate you, if you don't listen to them they will put you in jail, all that they want is your trillions of dollars.

When it comes to health care costs, there is plenty of blame to go around for why it is so expensive. However, making it more expensive by forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for illegal aliens, is just wrong. The law says Border Patrol cannot refuse an ambulance coming in from Mexico w/ a sick person. Pregnancy is defined as sick. Once in America & the child is born, we have another anchor baby. Its just wrong.
Eventually, hopefully, someone will take a number of these issues to court to challenge their constitutionality.
W/o properly secured borders, amnesty is a no go. It permits greedy employers to exploit the next group of desperate illegal aliens who will surely follow this group. Its just wrong.
We can no longer afford what our politicians are saddling us with. The changes we need, will have to happen in 20101, or we can write off a republic founded for us, based on a constitution that protects all of us, & the individual freedoms we have enjoyed.
Socialism is a disease. Ask Vaclav Klaus, the President of the Czech republic who lived under socialism for decades. He knows it deprives people of their will. He knows it takes away any incentive to aspire. And, while we have
'have-nots' & 'haves' under democracy & are told they are greedy & bad... there are also haves & have-nots under socialism. There, they are the people all must obey or face the consequences for actually voicing an opposing opinion!

Jake, thanks for trying to make Obama speak some truth. It is a tough job and very few in the mainstream media want to make Obama speak the truth.

It is my sincere hope that you and others in the mainstream media begin to understand and accept what Obama is about ... that he means to remake America into a fascist/socialist/or oligarchy state.

Perhaps it is a blend of all three.

But, it is NOT a Republic form of government that they want ... a very small federal government with very little intrusion on individual liberties and freedom.

Obama surrounds himself with radical socialist/Marxists and they care not for our Constitution or liberty.

Obama, and his ilk, are not politics as usual. He is pushing a global agenda designed to strip us of our sovereignty.

Obama is the agent of the New World Order and One World Government.

This is false. Brain functionality is the same in both left-handed and right-handed people. So Leonard's statement cannot be said to not apply to Obama because of his left-handedness.

Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas , Texas is a fairly famous
institution and for a variety of reasons:

1. John F. Kennedy died there in 1963
2. Lee Harvey Oswald died there shortly after
3. Jack Ruby -who killed Lee Harvey Oswald , died there a few years later. by coincidence

"On the flip side, Parkland is also home to the second busiest maternity ward in the country with almost 16,000 new babies arriving each y ear.
(That's almost 44 per day---every day)

A recent patient survey indicated that 70 percent of the women who gave birth at Parkland in the first three months of 2006 were illegal immigrants. That's 11,200 anchor babies born every year just in Dallas .
According to the article, the hospital spent $70.7 million delivering 15,938 babies in 2004 but managed to end up with almost $8 million dollars in surplus funding. Medicaid kicked
in $34.5 million, Dallas County taxpayers kicked in $31.3 million and the feds tossed in another $9.5 million.

The average patient in Parkland 's maternity wards is 25 years old, married and giving birth to her second child. She is also an illegal immigrant. By law, pregnant women cannot be denied medical care based on their immigration status or ability to pay.

OK, fine. That doesn't mean they should receive better care than everyday, middle-class American citizens. But at Parkland Hospital , they do.

" Parkland Memorial Hospital has nine prenatal clinics. NINE.

The Dallas Morning News article followed a Hispanic woman who was a patient at one of the clinics and pregnant with her third child---her previous two were also born at Parkland . Her first two deliveries were free and the Mexican native was grateful because it would have cost $200 to have them in Mexico . This time, the hospital wants her to pay $10 per visit and $100 for the delivery but she was unsure if she could come up with the money. Not that it matters, the hospital won't turn her away.
(I wonder why they even bother asking at this point.)

"How long has this been going on? What are the long-term affects?

Well, another subject of the article was born at Parkland in 1986 shortly after her mother entered the U.S. illegally---now she is having her own child there as well. (That's right; she's technica lly a U.S. citizen.) These women receive free prenatal care including medication, nutrition, birthing classes and child care classes. They also get freebies such as car seats, bottles, diapers and formula.

Most of these things are available to American citizens as well but only for low-income applicants and even then, the red tape involved is almost insurmountable.

Because these women are illegal immigrants, they do not have to provide any sort of legitimate identification---no proof of income. An American citizen would have to provide a social security number which would reveal their annual income---an illegal immigrant need only clai m to be poor and the hospital must take them at their word.

"My husband is a pilot for the United States Navy (yes, he fought in Iraq ) and while the health care is good, we Navy wives don't get any of these perks! Car seats? Diapers? Not so much. So my question is this:
Does our public medical care system treat illegal immigrants better than American citizens? Yes it does!

As I mentioned, the care I have received is perfectly adequate but it's bare bones, meat and potato medical care---not top of line.

Their (the illegals) medical care is free---simply because they are illegal immigrants? Once again, there is no way to verify their income.

Parkland Hospital offers indigent care to Dallas County residents who earn less than $40,000 per year. (They also have to prove that they did not refuse health coverage at their current job. Yeah, the 'free' care is not so easy for Americans.)

There are about 140 patients who received roughly $4 million dollars for un-reimbursed medical care. As it turns out, they did not qualify for free treatment because they resided outside of D allas County so the hospital is going to sue them! Illegals get it all free! But U.S citizens who live outside of Dallas County get sued! How stupid is this?

As if that isn't annoying enough, the illegal immigrant patients are actually complaining about hospital staff not speaking Spanish. In this AP story, the author speaks with a woman who is upset that she had to translate comments from the hospital staff into Spanish for her husband.
The doctor was trying to explain the situation to the family and the mother was forced to translate for her husband who only spoke Spanish.
This was apparently a great injus tice to her.

In an attempt to create a Spanish-speaking staff, Parkland Hospital is now providing incentives in the form of extra pay for applicants who speak Spanish. Additionally, medical students at the University of Texas Southwestern for which Parkland Hospital is the training facility will now have a Spanish language requirement added to their already jammed-packed curriculum. No other school in the country boasts such a ridiculous multi-semester (multicultural) requirement.

Where there is no trust, there is no credibility despite the fact there may be a valid point to be made. Unfortunately, there is neither trust nor validity to this governments's push for health care reform as it is being pushed down our throats with the speed and urgency with which it is being done. To learn a citizenship's responsibility when they have been betrayed by those who "rule" over them, please refer to John Locke's treatise, Of Civil Government. Interesting reading and the basis on which our founding fathers felt justified to take the action which they did against the tyranical monarchy under which they endured similar treatment. This administration should familiarize themselves with these principles and not be forced to "relive history", for I'm not sure they realize what is on the other end of the tail they are pulling.

Jake rocks! There should be more like him!

Yes Oh Yeah, Obama is guilty right now of treason against the Constitution on many issues, you know the one he swore to preserve protect and defend on his inauguration. Thats one of the main reasons he wants this healthcare bill rushed into law so that it will be done before enough people see that he is clearly violating the Constitution. Once it becomes law he is no longer responsible it will be the fault of the house and congress.He is obsessed with this healthcare plan and can't focus on any other issues until it is done. Healthcare costs can be cut drastically just by repealing the Mc Carren-Ferguson Act and letting people purchase their insurance in various states. Example in heavily populated states health insurance cost a lot mor but if an individual can purchase insurance from a less populated state for a lower price than the market will set the price.Insurance companies would no longer be able to price fix without the Mc Carren-Ferguson act protecting them from anti-trust laws.Insurance companies have to learn like any other business has had to learn to be competitive. Don't get me wrong insurance companies get ripped off also by padded bills from hospitals for illegal aliens coming in with no social security number or fake ones and the hospitals pad the bill to cover their losses. Thats why one tylenol tablet cost 30.00+ in a hospital, so the insurance company adjusts it to 18.00 and they are still getting ripped. The healthcare business is loaded with deception and if it was watched more the costs would come down dramatically.The illegal alien issue should be dealt with before any healthcare bill is even thought of. The government needs to enforce immigration laws and not make illegals want to come here. The way it is now coming here and working tax free with free healthcare is not going to deter them at all it is encouraging more to come. Why didn't our bright self serving politicians (you know the lawmakers) not see this with what happened in California years ago? Especially when it happened one day when you made a phone call and a message came on saying if you wish to continue in english,push one now? This country is collapsing from within and the ones that are responsible live like kings and queens. High salaries with cost of living raises,the best free healthcare and they keep all of it from just serving one term. They have made laws exempting themselves from insider trading. A couple of examples; when it was decided that we were going to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq the polititians knew ahead of time and went out and bought stocks at a low price in the weapons manufacturers or they send the E.P.A. out to fine businesses for not having some kind of fresh air system (that they made a law) in their buildings and wow lets see they collect the fine plus buy stock in the system manufacturer and make their fortunes. They are not satisfied with just that they want to expand government which is what this healthcare plan is going to do. It's going to create 75k-150k jobs for czars and cronies first and then for their other corrupt organizations like ACORN and the SEIU these people see nothing wrong with going out and gathering a million absentee voting ballots to get their corrupt politicians elected and they are too blind to see that Obama and his czars are going to screw them too in the end. Liberals and Conservatives should put their differences aside and join together to get these corrupt politicians out of government along with this revenue enhancing healthcare bill.

This is false. Brain functionality is the same in both left-handed and right-handed people. So Leonard's statement cannot be said to not apply to Obama because of his left-handedness.

Right you are, Jennie... I agree with every word you just said !
We WILL survive this mess...somehow we will !!!!!!!

It's said that when a person looks to the right they are constructing an idea and when they look to the left, they're remembering somethat that has actually happened. Since a lie is essentially a mental construction, people will often access that part of the brain when trying to come up with a lie and will look to the right.

Great interview Jake...thanks for asking the tougher questions that the rest of the media seems afraid to ask. I applaud you & ABC for this interview and I hope you continue to ask the hard questions and push for the "real" answers and not just Obama's & staff talking points.
