Obama: Letting People Die is Cost Efficient

President Obama suggested at a town hall event Wednesday night that one way to shave medical costs is to stop expensive and ultimately futile procedures performed on people who are about to die and don't stand to gain from the extra care."
-- Peter Nicholas, Los Angeles Times

Just when it looked like Barrack Obama's plan for Government-Run Health Care might be dead on arrival, ABC - now being rightfully called the "All Barack Channel" - comes charging to the rescue.

Forget journalistic integrity! Airing all points of view... not at ABC News....

Instead, the network literally moved its news operation and teleprompters directly into the White House and aired a pathetically disguised primetime infomercial... propaganda under the guise of a "Special Report" ... designed to peddle Obama's snake-oil to the American people.

Brent Bozell of the Media Research Center:

"President Obama is trying to put our nation on the fast track to socialized health care, and on June 24, the ABC network will help him sell this bill of goods to the American people. ... ABC News will transform the White House into their newsroom for what has been described as an unabashed infomercial promoting the Democrat agenda--more specifically, government-run health care."

Bozell added:

"ABC News has abandoned all pretense of journalistic integrity in its bid to be the administration's official salesman for ObamaCare. ... this 'news special' becomes nothing more than an extended infomercial designed to scare and manipulate the American people into supporting a trillion-dollar government takeover of the highest quality health care system in the world!"

There can be no doubt that ABC News can no longer be called a credible or legitimate news organization. There can be no doubt that Obama and the liberal elites in the media are willing to fight tooth-and-nail, down to the last man. And there can be no doubt that they will do anything in their quest to shove socialized health care down the throats of the American people.

That's why we have our work cut out for us. ObamaCare is not dead... far from it. This battle is just beginning.

In fact, they have the momentum and if we don't speak up, right here and right now, they will win.

In the coming days, federal legislators will undoubtedly feel ever-increasing pressure - brought on by an impending media blitz - to cave to Obama's demands.

The quality of your health care and your children's health care will diminish... the availability of your health care and your children's health care will diminish... it will be rationed... your health care choices will be severely restricted... and, as a nation, we will all be forced to pay more for less.

We can't let that happen. Our elected officials need to hear from you again and they need to hear from you now.
