Obama: Health Care Reform Equals Job Creation

WHAT??

Man, this guy will say anything to get this failure passed. All the slick rhetoric, lies and misinformation in the world isn't going to create jobs. And ramming a sub-par, unpopular health care bill through Congress isn't going to create them either. Not by a long shot.
The president knows the unemployment report speaks louder than his spin does, and that of the flip of the networks in favour of Obama. The same numbers that were a problem for Ronald Reagan, mind you (and the MSM bombarded him monthly, daily even) but they're "ok" under Obama.

"...yesterday’s report on September job losses was a sobering reminder that progress comes in fits and starts, and that we will need to grind out this recovery step by step. [...]
It won’t be easy. It will require us to lay a new foundation for our economy – one that gives our workers the skills and education they need to compete; that invests in renewable energy and the jobs of the future; and that makes health care affordable for families and businesses – particularly small businesses, many of which have been overwhelmed by rising health care costs.
This is something I hear about from entrepreneurs I meet – people who’ve got a good idea, and the expertise and determination to build it into a thriving business. But many can’t take that leap because they can’t afford to lose the health insurance they have at their current job."

How can any small business owner that can't afford health care coverage afford to start a new business at all? Any business?
But what do you expect from someone who's never ran a business? Who's never had to meet a payroll?

"I hear about it from small business owners who want to grow their companies and hire more people, but they can’t, because they can barely afford to insure the employees they have. One small business owner wrote to me that health care costs are – and I quote – "stifling my business growth." He said that the money he wanted to use for research and development, and to expand his operations, has instead been "thrown into the pocket of healthcare insurance carriers."

So wouldn't lowering the small business owner's taxes give him the opportunity to grow his business and hire more people?

"Rising health care costs are undermining our businesses, exploding our deficits, and costing our nation more jobs with each passing month.
So we know that reforming our health insurance system will be a critical step in rebuilding our economy so that our entrepreneurs can pursue the American Dream again, and our small businesses can grow and expand and create new jobs again."

Does he even know about this? Or is the president adverse to admitting his cheery outlook regarding job growth Sept. 9?

After all, according to Rasmussen Reports, only 41 percent of Americans support the healthcare plan currently before Congress; 56 percent oppose it. At the end of June, 50 percent approved its passage versus 45 percent opposed. What makes Obama think that not only he can shove this highly-unpopular reform down Americans throats, but that it will actually create jobs? By small business owners?

So, it would be worse without the stimulus package, and it will only get better if Congress passes healthcare reform?

Ok, then.
