From The World Socialist website:

President Obama’s press conference Wednesday night was an hour-long effort to conceal from the American people the sweeping impact of the cuts in medical benefits that will be imposed in his administration’s planned restructuring of the US health care system.

And…..

In response to reporters’ questions about the sacrifices he was prepared to ask of ordinary people, Obama was careful to disguise the real implications of the measures now being prepared.

Worse than that, even the Associated Press, who have been an intregral part of the Obama campaign and administration could not take it any more as they chronicled obfuscation after obfuscation in the July 22, 2009 press conference:

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama’s assertion Wednesday that government will stay out of health care decisions in an overhauled system is hard to square with the proposals coming out of Congress and with his own rhetoric.

Even now, nearly half the costs of health care in the U.S. are paid for by government at all levels. Federal authority would only grow under any proposal in play. Obama claimed that the Democrat/Obama health care plan would:

“It will keep government out of health care decisions, giving you the option to keep your insurance if you’re happy with it.” – NOT TRUE

“I have also pledged that health insurance reform will not add to our deficit over the next decade, and I mean it.”- NOT TRUE

“You haven’t seen me out there blaming the Republicans.” – NOT TRUE

“If we had done nothing, if you had the same old budget as opposed to the changes we made in our budget, you’d have a $9.3 trillion deficit over the next 10 years. Because of the changes we’ve made, it’s going to be $7.1 trillion.” – NOT TRUE

Exactly how is all this going to work? The leader of the Free World who has no documented accomplishments (other than writing heart tugging autobiographies about those non-accomplishments) and can not seem to utter a sentence without saying things that are not true. The width and breadth of his many, many misstatements of fact is already incredible, though growing almost exponentially day by day.

Unless we live in a country where all means of communication is controlled like some Orwellian totalitarian worlds of the last century, he will be unable to govern and Obama will become a joke. A joke in America and to the rest of the world. People are not stupid. Dishonesty causes disrespect. Disrespect results in loss of authority. It can be no other way except through authoritarian control.

I believe that the Obama Administration is doomed. It is being still-born because he presented himself as a moderate for election and then went hard left. When people understand his policies most want no part of them. Now, his uncontrollable predilection for prevarication dooms his efforts.

You will know for sure that Obama is circling the drain when you Google images of the president and any, or all, of the N.D. congressional delegation and there are none newer than 3 months. When they start to get a whiff of the stigma that Obama will rub off on them before the election of 2010 they will not be caught dead in front of any recording devise with the President. Count on it.
