Obama unedited still wants to go to "single payer" healthcare

Well, the Obama White House has already come out lying about what the President said back in 2007 about his goal being a single payer health care plan. The claim being asserted by Linda Douglass, a former ABC News correspondent who is now an official flack for the White House rather than an unofficial one as she used to be when she worked for ABC, in a video being touted by the White House and all sympathetic pundits as a "rebuttal" to the video I posted yesterday with the title "SHOCK UNCOVERED: Obama IN HIS OWN WORDS.
The claim being made by Linda Douglas and the White House damage control team is that the video distorts what the president was actually saying by cutting and piecing together clips and taking them out of context. Interestingly, she never actually addresses what the original video shows, she merely asserts that the President was "taken out of context."
After that she goes on the play two clips that she asserts "you probably haven't heard from those sources," which show Obama in June of this year telling us what he has been saying for the past few months:
Here's video 1 where Obama back in 2003 talks about a single payer system and that it will take time to achieve that goal.
Ms. Douglas also doesn't respond to the statements of Representatives Barney Franks (D-MA) and Jan Shakowsky (D-IL) which also show the clear intent of the Heath Care Reform bill that Democrats are attempting to push through Congress. Neither of those clips were "taken out of context."
In fact both of those members of Congress are proud of their stance...and for that I honor them. They are unapologetic socialists and wrong to boot, but at least they are honest in their desires and aims. Our President lacks such candor and backbone.
Since Ms. Douglas has made this false assertion, I am posting the original, relevent and uncut portion of Obama's appearance at the Las Vegas SEIU Health Care Forum for the Democrat Presidential Candidates.
The volume is pretty low, unlike the earlier clip; I apologize, but I have no control over what is posted on YouTube.
There can be no doubt that Obama stated that he wanted a system:
Ms. Douglas, you can lie about it, you can avoid answering the issue, you can accuse the blog world of distortion, but you cannot prevent the truth from getting out...
...not even with your little army of informers (neighbor informing on neighbor - now that is scarey, shades of the old East German Stasi or the old Soviet Union).
Isn't that a pleasant thought from the Obama Administration? They are now asking that we become a society of informers...how very Stalinesque of Obama. Here's the money quote from WhiteHouse.gov:
Well Linda, the only thing I see that's fishy is occurring in the White House and in Congress within the Democrat Party...should I report that?
Long Live Our American Republic!!!!

"If you like the coverage that you already have, you can keepThis is, of course, a straw man argument, no one has said that the president hasn't been saying that exact thing recently the point of the videos in question is that what he has been saying recently isn't what he truly believes or what he has been saying throughout his political history.

...that allows those who can go through their employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort , but I don't think we are going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately" [Emphasis added]No if's, no and's, no but's about it. He said it, he meant it, he didn't equivocate or hesitate, he wants to take health care coverage out of the hands of employers and put it in the hands of the government.

There is a lot of disinformation about health insurance reform out there, spanning from control of personal finances to end of life care. These rumors often travel just below the surface via chain emails or through casual conversation. Since we can’t keep track of all of them here at the White House, we’re asking for your help. If you get an email or see something on the web about health insurance reform that seems fishy, send it to flag@whitehouse.gov. [and we will forward it to the Secret Service? Maybe the FBI or the IRS for a little impromptu auditing?]Gee! Nothing worrying about that...
Well Linda, the only thing I see that's fishy is occurring in the White House and in Congress within the Democrat Party...should I report that?
Long Live Our American Republic!!!!
