Obama begs Republicans for Help

1) Please won’t you help us spend $2.5 trillion we don’t have?
2) Please won’t you join us in enraging the independent voters and your base?
3) Please won’t you believe that if I will agree with any of your policies, I can get Senator Reid and the Speaker to enact it?
4) Please help me take over the health care industry?
5) Please help me feel better about my repeated violations of my transparency campaign promises, hence, appearing on TV today?
6) Please help me out of this wheel-chair I’ve put myself in, after I broke my own back on health care reform?
7) Please help me appear as if I am listening to you and the American people?
8 ) Please help me force employers drop their employee health benefit and force workers into the government run health care system — er, exchange?
9) Please, please help me fund abortions with taxpayer dollars?
10) Please help me give illegal aliens health benefits, paid for by taxpaying citizens?
11) Please help me tax health insurance premiums, but not for my pals, the unions?
12) Please help me set up an "exchange" to control all aspects of every health insurance policy we will let an insurer sell?
13) Please help me cut Medicare by half a trillion dollars, and use it to fund the destruction of our health care system?
14) Please help me force every American to buy health insurance — whether they can afford it or not?
15) Please help me pay for my government take over of health care by taxing the young and the married?
16) Please help me empower the Secretary of HHS to put restrictions on Health Savings Accounts?
17) Please help me create a health care database that tracks gun ownership?
18) Please help me put the government in charge of rationing care, so we can set up those "Granny Death Panels" I've been denying are in the bill?
19) Please help me feed the moral arrogance of Democrats by allowing me to lecture you and the American people on health care one more time?

Would a government takeover of healthcare, or would it not, result in unelected government bureaucrats deciding who gets treatment and who doesn't?

But here, I'll help you.  From the New York Times, America's newspaper of record, an interview where Obama comes out and admits that there will be government death panels, at http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/03/magazine/03Obama-t.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&pagewanted=all

THE PRESIDENT: So that’s where I think you just get into some very difficult moral issues. But that’s also a huge driver of cost, right?

I mean, the chronically ill and those toward the end of their lives are accounting for potentially 80 percent of the total health care bill out here.

LEONHARDT: So how do you — how do we deal with it?

THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think that there is going to have to be a conversation that is guided by doctors, scientists, ethicists. And then there is going to have to be a very difficult democratic conversation that takes place. It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance. It’s not determinative, but I think has to be able to give you some guidance. And that’s part of what I suspect you’ll see emerging out of the various health care conversations that are taking place on the Hill right now.

The "independent group that can give you guidance" is going to be an unelected government euthanasia board, of course.

Next?
