Did you express these views with the same zeal during the Bush administration? They lied.
There were lies about the reasons for invading Iraq and thensome. I did not like what Bush and his administration did but I had a respect for the office of the Presidency.
I loved American more than I disliked Bush....that's how it should be.
No I did not support Bush with zeal. I oppose Obama with zeal because he is a liar and a puppet of George Soros.
This thread is off topic. Obama is misleading the public by alluding that the the US government is not already addressing the issue of Medicare fraud and abuse.
To here the POTUS talk, you would think that he is going to institute programs not previously in effect. That is simply not true.
The Office of the Inspector General has been overseeing Medicare fraud and abuse for many years now.

Believe it or not, there really is excessive waste in the delivery of private insurance health care. It is a known fact that companies spend anywhere from 18-30% of revenues on admin & marketing costs. I worked at medicare advantage cos as a salesman for many years and saw many overpaid managers who did little to enhance sales or patient care. there are still such wasteful expenses in insurance cos today. It is also widely known that MA plans on the average receive 14% more funding than it would cost to cover a similar pt on traditional medicare. only in 2010 will funding be decreased so that the HMOS will start to "sink or swim" thru their own management. A local Medicare Advantage plan here in SA is able to manipulate medicare funding through RAPS data. It is able to bilk the gov't for extra $$ when a chronically ill pt presents himself, instead of assuming the "risk" as HMOs were originally meant to do when they were created. It is the equiv of a CEO getting bonused when the co loses $$.
I love America too and I do not support a President who deliberately lies. I think Obama is a disgrace to our country.
How did you feel about George W and the WMDs?
