Republicans and the Health Care Summit

Republicans and the Health Care Summit

President Barack Obama’s health care bill is on the fast track to no where.  He made a radical, socialized medicine, health care bill the center piece of his legislative agenda in 2009, even though unemployment had reached a high we have not seen in a quarter of century.  Those who opposed a bill that would lead [...]

Obama backs Coakley, but he’s not sure why

Barack Obama, our president, is now campaigning against Scott Brown on behalf of Martha Coakley.  He gave a speech Sunday to try to tell the people of Boston that they needed to elect Martha Coakley on January 19th.  We try not to be overly critical, but then again, this is Political Integrity Now and we [...]

Broken Promises are adding up!

Broken Promises are adding up!

Yes, Obama campaigned on a promise of “Hope and Change”, but did he deliver?  According to the 2009 Pulitzer Prize winner Politifact.com, not quite.  In his first year in office, President Obama has broken 14 campaign promises.  To be fair, Politifact.com reports that he has kept 91 and compromised 33.  But in a country that [...]

Obama said he’d televise health reform negotiations on C-SPAN [False]

Obama said he’d televise health reform negotiations on C-SPAN [False]

From Politifact.com:
During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama said several times that he intended to negotiate health care reform publicly. In fact, he said, he’d televise the negotiations on C-SPAN, with all the parties sitting at a big table. That way, Americans would be more engaged in the process and insist on real change.
“That’s what I [...]

FACT CHECK: Health insurers’ profits 35th of 53..so much for “evil” profits!

Oh, Nancy Pelosi and the progressive liberals of Congress…how is it you have come to hate money so much when you yourself are awash in it?

Politifact missed the boat on “Electronic Health Records” fact check

While Politifact is generally pretty good at supplying fact check information, they didn’t complete their homework assignment on this one.  The article being fact-checked by Politifact is based on a statement from the The Senior Citizens League:
The key to these changes is a massive national government computer network, which is now being created. When it [...]

Obama: Proposed health care plan bipartisan [FALSE]

Obama:  Proposed health care plan bipartisan [FALSE]

On Obama’s weekly radio address, staying true to form, President Obama flirted with the fine line of stretching the truth and lying.  The President said “The Senate Finance Committee approved a reform proposal that has both Democratic and Republican support.”  The vote passed by 14-9 margin.  Only 1 of the 14 supporters was a Republican.

From Politifact.com
In his latest film, Capitalism: A Love Story, Michael Moore singled out the Ronald Reagan administration for the loss of millions of jobs.
During the Reagan administration, he said, American government was run more like a business. The fallout of Reagan’s “trickle-down” economic policy, he said, is that major corporations laid off American workers at [...]

Reported by Politifact.com
On CNN’s Larry King Live on Sept. 26, 2009, documentary filmmaker Michael Moore was asked if he thought President Barack Obama would get his health care plan through Congress.
“Well, I certainly hope so,” said Moore, whose 2007 film Sicko focused on health care. “Seventy-five percent of the American people are expecting it. That’s [...]

Health Care bill will not tax uninsured [FALSE]

Health Care bill will not tax uninsured [FALSE]

President Obama and other Democrats have gone on the record saying that you will not be taxed if you do not purchase health insurance.  Obama engaged in a debate with Geroge Stephanopoulos on the issue, in which Obama was obviously taken back when George brought up the definition of the word Tax.
