8:45 p.m. – Obama is promoting a public option. This would undoubtedly ensure that he would keep the promise he made to Planned Parenthood that abortion would be at the “center and heart” of his health care plan. See video on RealHealthCareRespectsLife.com in which he makes that promise.
8:50 p.m. – “I WILL PROTECT MEDICARE!” Obama shouts, to wild applause.
8:55 p.m. – Warns he will not “waste time with those who think it is better politics to kill this plan than to approve it. … I will not accept the status quo as a solution.”
8:55 p.m. – Warns that “more will die” if nothing is done. Yikes.
8:56 p.m. – Brings up “our beloved colleague” Ted Kennedy. Says that Kennedy wrote to him in May that “fundamental principles of social justice” are at stake. Well, we all know what Kennedy thought of the “fundamental principles of social justice” as they related to abortion. To him, abortion WAS social justice.
9:02 p.m. – Says he will not follow those who suggest deferring health care reform to his next term. Raises voice to say that health care reform is “our calling.” The One has spoken. End of speech.

Death makes angels of us all. Obama used ole Ted’s name as one more attempt to garner support, even from the morally bankrupt who looked up to Ted Kennedy. Another attention-getter was the nurse from Texas who was supposedly rejected for payment of a cancer claim because of a pre-existing condition of Acne. Did the president fail to mention that she also did not disclose that she was taking medication for a pre-existing heart condition and that she had mis-stated her weight. This was reported this morning in the Dallas Morning News!
