This started long ago but when President Obama’s thugs all came out and accused Fox News of not being a news organization it became clear that we aren’t dealing with your average Chicago politician, this guy is much worse.  As Michael Calderon over at Politico points out, way back in June President Obama complained to John Harwood of CNBC about the “…television station that is entirely devoted to attacking my administration…”.

President Obama is the most divisive, partisan politician to ever live in the White House and his closest advisors and cabinet members including Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, and Anita Dunn have all tried to marginalize Fox News by labeling them as a wing of the GOP.

Are they the only ones that can’t see what they are doing to themselves? Attacking a giant like Fox News, who has more viewers than many of the other ‘news’ channels combined, can’t be good for business. Besides, I thought we were beyond partisanship, I thought Barack Obama was the great moderate that would cross the aisle.

Our president is encouraging violence by prolonging his decision to send more troops to Afghanistan, lying to the American public about his healthcare takeover plans and waging a war on Fox News.

How Nobel of him.

I know that you and your friends in Washington aren’t familiar with the concept, but you should all try telling the truth.  I don’t mean tell the truth sometimes, when it fits your agenda, I mean all the time, just be honest.

You say you want competition in the healthcare industry, but before you were president you said that you support a single payer healthcare system and the rumors are you are pushing a public option plan behind closed doors.

You promised to be the most transparent administration in this country’s history, yet you surround yourself with ’special advisors’ that aren’t subjected to senate approval and that have, at best, questionable backgrounds.

You said illegal aliens wouldn’t receive health care coverage in the proposed healthcare reform bill, but the bill says the stipulation denying them benefits won’t be enforced.

You said Afghanistan is the war we should be fighting, but you won’t do what it takes to win it. In fact you won’t even let some testify in front of Congress so that the American people might hear what they have to say.

You said the stimulus bill is working to save jobs, yet we continue to hemorrhage jobs every month and some say we are heading for a terrible ‘double-dip’ recession.

President Obama, I know that those on both sides of the aisle have difficulties in telling the public what they really think, but not many are as shameless in their lies as you. Your approval rating has dipped below 50%. It seems like every time you get up and speak about healthcare reform another lie is uncovered, another point drops off of your approval rating and more and more people change the channel. Despite your efforts to mask your true beliefs we’ve all seen them. They can be found in the words of Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Van Jones and Valerie Jarrett and they can be found in speeches you’ve made to unions and community organizations.

President Obama, the truth can set you free, and whether you decide to grow up and be honest with the American people or not, in 2012, the truth will set us free.

Now that I’ve made that clear, how can the government possibly consider an enormous overhaul of the healthcare system without first taking care of the issues we have with illegal immigration?

In the house version of the healthcare bill it stipulates that illegal immigrants aren’t eligible to receive benefits, but it also states that there will be no enforcement mechanism to ensure the services aren’t provided to those not entitled to them.

Someone in Washington needs to act responsibly in realizing that if we are to really lower healthcare costs we need to eliminate the trips to the emergency room that are never paid for. It isn’t difficult to figure out why costs have risen so dramatically.

The way to solve the problem is simple, secure the borders, then address those that are already here (pick your poison, there isn’t an easy option when it comes to those already here illegally).  It isn’t a question of whether or not we can secure the borders, we can.  The question is whether or not our politicians will make the tough decisions necessary to secure the borders.  This isn’t about big business wanting cheap labor, it isn’t about ultra-liberal hacks wanting open borders so that illegal aliens can be given everything for free in a shameless way to hopefully gain more voters when amnesty is awarded and it isn’t about right-wing extremists establishing a military state where guns rule and illegals drool.  This is about the greatest good for the greatest number of American citizens, it is about protecting the citizens, both physically and financially and it is about being able to run a sound, balanced government so that those that obey the laws of the land are given every opportunity to work hard and succeed.

Whether you support healthcare reform or not, pursuing drastic changes in the system without securing our borders is irresponsible and it is being overlooked, which is most likely the intention of those in power.
