Obama promised once again that a health care overhaul “will be paid for.” But congressional budget experts say the bills they’ve seen so far would add hundreds of billions of dollars to the deficit over the next decade.
He said the plan "that I put forward" would cover at least 97 percent of all Americans. Actually, the plan he campaigned on would cover far less than that, and only one of the bills now being considered in Congress would do that.
He said the "average American family is paying thousands" as part of their premiums to cover uncompensated care for the uninsured, implying that expanded coverage will slash insurance costs. But the nonpartisan Kaiser Family Foundation puts the cost per family figure at $200.
Obama claimed his budget "reduced federal spending over the next 10 years by $2.2 trillion" compared with where it was headed before. Not true. Even figures from his own budget experts don’t support that. The Congressional Budget Office projects a $2.7 trillion increase, not a $2.2 trillion cut.
The president said that the United States spends $6,000 more on average than other countries on health care. Actually, U.S. per capita spending is about $2,500 more than the next highest-spending country. Obama’s figure was a White House-calculated per-family estimate.

Obama and the birth certificate
Can someone please clear this up...
I am serious, I heard this on a talk show, cant remember which one, and I just would like someone to explain why this is false...
When you come on here and throw insults that will not help, I am looking for a honest to goodness answer...
I heard that for the first few years of Hawaii statehood that ANYONE could receive a short-form birth cert saying that you were now a US citizen. If you were actually born after Hawaii became a state and were a natural born citizen you were given a long-form birth certificate. The long form showed where you were actually born and by whom.
Why is it that Obama has only shown the short form, a form that is not valid when trying to show proof of citizenship in most government jobs?

Obama's Stimulus Projects Won't Amount to Major Infrastructure Overhaul
Of course, that's the one part of the bill I supported and thought might actually do some good...
Well, I gave him the benefit of the doubt on that one and he proved to be what I thought he was...
