President Obama made a faith-based pitch for his health care reform, urging religious groups to unite in this battle "between hope and fear" just as they did in the fight for civil rights.

Obama joined a teleconference organized by a  coalition of religious groups as part of their "Forty Minutes For Health Reform" campaign. He didn't take questions, but in his six-minute pitch he also worked to dispel some misinformation about the legislation, accusing opponents of "bearing false witness."

 

Before the president joined, participants on the call were encouraged to spend the next 40 days (an important biblical number) spreading the truth about reform and rallying support in their congregations. Obama said that faith groups have always worked "to promote justice," while others push to "preserve the status quo."

"These struggles always boil down to a contest between hope and fear," he said. "I'm going to need the help of all of you. ... I need you to spread the facts and speak the truth. Time and again men and women of faith have helped to show us what's possible when we're guided by our hopes and not our fears. That's what you've done before. That's how we are able to succeed in establishing Social Security and Medicare and bringing about justice through the civil rights movement. That's what you can do again today, to help us achieve quality, affordable health care for every American."

They are trying to shut out opposition. I don't like being shouted at. Some insane Hillary supporter decided that I must back Hillary because she is a woman because I am right wing.  That doesn't mean a thing to me. I back Hillary because I believe that she is the best person for the job. I think she will make the best President and I believe Hillary can make a difference.  I don't necessary agree with her on everything but who does. I do believe women need to stick together then this person said Hillary worked on health care her entire life.  This is not true the issue Hillary has always promoted the most is the plight of women and children.  Yes she believes in universal health care but that is not the only issue that she believes in.
It kind of turned me off.  Liberals are acting like the Republicans were when they were calling everyone Unamerican for not supporting everything Bush did. 
Alice Paul is the only person who supports universal health care lately on facebook that actually agrues her point with facts and links. I am really divided on this issue and I need facts not people preaching or yelling at me. I find myself basically reading only Alice Pauls posts on health care from the liberal side.

Ovomit, do us a favor and STFU!!!! Please don't invoke religion into the health care issue. The only thing Omoron knows about religion is the hate he learned under the tutelage of Jeremiah Wright.

Dare to play with fire and he will get burned!

Also, does he honestly believe the people are so ill-informed and mindless that just because a religious leader says something one way or the other people will follow?

What country and time is this again?


The best death for this bill has come from his own mouth. The more he talks(witless wonder) the more enemies he makes for this bill and IMO ultimately for his political future.

obamessiah-1.jpg

I guess he figures it worked before.

 . . .and "bearing false witness" before reminding them that "I am my brother's keeper." . . .

BARF! One of his brothers lives in a hut, and THIS is applicable Biblical verse the twit's mangling:

Genesis 4:9: “Am I my brother’s keeper?”

This was asked to God by a man who had just committed the very first murder by killing and burying his brother.no

Yes. And he thinks we will not remember that.

I have just one   question for him, or any of them pushing this disaster: Are all government employees, senators, congressmen/women, president and family, ect, going to be made to use the same insurance they are trying to force on us???
