There is ABSOLUTELY no doubt about who the biggest liar of the year is. "I will not negotiate behind close doors, but bring all parties together and broadcast those negotiations on C-SPAN" "No one will be compelled to buy coverage." "No new taxes on employer benefits." "Government can control rising health care costs better than the private sector." "The public will be part of the conversation" And this almost comical gem: "I respect what the Clinton’s tried to do in 1993 but they made one really big mistake … they took all their experts into one room and then they closed the door. They tried to design the plan in isolation from the American people." These are just Obama's lies about health care, and only a fraction of them. HOW DARE YOU call anyone else a liar. I'm not sure you could find a bigger liar than Barack Obama if you searched the entire country.

"To me, while reading that section of the bill, it became so evident that there would be a panel of bureaucrats who would decide on levels of health care, decide on those who are worthy or not worthy of receiving some government-controlled coverage," she said. "Since health care would have to be rationed if it were promised to everyone, it would therefore lead to harm for many individuals not able to receive the government care. That leads, of course, to death." Yeah, like we are supposed to believe she actually reads......anythihg. But there's more. Palin cites a letter Congressional Budget Office Director Douglas Elmendorf sent to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid last week, referring to the bill's call for reducing Medicare spending by 2 percent. "It is unclear," Elmendorf noted, "whether such a reduction in the growth rate could be achieved, and if so, whether it would be accomplished through greater efficiencies in the delivery of health care or would reduce access to care or diminish the quality of care." Aha, Palin proclaims: This reduced " 'access to care' and 'diminish[ed] quality of care' - is precisely what I meant when I used that metaphor." (She's back to calling it a metaphor.) This is why the asshole is so dangerous and why so many dislike her.
