Romney Wins Debate with Style, Grace and Wit

The outcome of the first 2012 Presidential Debate met with similar reactions from numerous liberals and conservatives. Did I say liberals? You bet! Liberal Michael Moore stated that Obama's performance was lack-luster. In fact, progressive liberal Michael Moore literally exploded on Twitter last night when he admitted that Obama clearly lost the debate to Romney. Moore posted approximately 30 Tweets on Twitter, including the following remarks:

“Obama please be Obama! You sound like a Democrat (wimpy)." 1
“Romney looks like he's been lit different - brighter, sharper. You can see the difference by comparing their shirts." 2

Other commentators, including liberal Democrats and conservative Republicans, were quick to make positive comments about Mitt Romney's strength during the first 2012 Presidential Debate that aired on numerous televisions stations nationwide on Wednesday night. Various major news reports indicate that Mitt Romney won the debate in a grand style, convincing at least two thirds of American voters that he is the man who can get the economy rolling in positive territory.

Anyone who watched the debate knows that Mitt Romney appeared as a positive and knowledgeable candidate with a passion to restore jobs back to the many unemployed American workers. The other truth is that Obama appeared weak, confused, nervous and robotic. Mitt Romney displayed warmth, humor, wit and confidence, whereas Obama may as well have been a clone or an automaton. Romney even managed to squeeze in a humorous comment about Big Bird. Romney stated that he loves Big Bird, one of the animated stars of Sesame Street, but added that he does not intend to dole out money to support these types of PBS shows.


The first 2012 Presidential Debate is a clear indicator that Americans are fed up with four monotonous and unproductive years of Obama's mockery of leadership skills, Obamacare (Obama's Healthcare Bill) and all of  Obama's other socialist agendas for America. Mitt Romney has an excellent chance of winning the 2012 Presidential Election. If so, this means that Americans will once again have the freedom to choose their own insurance companies, or even decide they do not want to pay for insurance coverage. Americans will have opportunities to turn their hopes for employment into tangible jobs that pay them real wages. Mitt Romney won the first 2012 Presidential debate with style and grace as he managed to conquer the dull and witless tactics displayed by Obama.

Would you vote for Obama today? I recently won a WebAnswers Best Answers Award for my answer to the question: Would you vote for Obama? Granted, there were only 2 answers to this question about voting for Obama in light of what people now know, particularly regarding Obama's Health Bill. Nevertheless, I would like to share my answer with you.

Obama Poll: Republicans Earn Voters' Trust on Health Care Issue

The Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday, April 5, the day after Easter Sunday:


Strongly Approve 34%
Strongly Disapprove 41%
Presidential Approval Index rating = -7%


I wrote a post on March 19 regarding the Rasmussen Reports Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for that day. On March 19 the Presidential Approval Index rating was -21%.

According to Rasmussen Reports, the number has gone up from -21% to -7% due to the overwhelming support Obama has received from Democrats since the passing of Obama's Health Bill.


Also according to Rasmussen Reports, the number of voters listed in the Strongly Disapprove category has remained 40% for months due to the fact that Obama's Health Bill has had either a slight effect or no effect on Republican and unaffiliated voters. Similarly, 53% of Americans now trust Republicans more than Democrats on the issue of health care.


Rasmussen Reports Poll Information from:
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Monday, April 05, 2010


Conservative Wordsmith Commentary:


I think it is a good sign that American voters trust Republicans more than Democrats on the issue of Health Care.


It would be better if the number increased from 53% to, say, 93%. It would be equally good if American voters would learn to trust Republicans more than Democrats about other issues as well.


America's voters need to learn the truth about Republicans; American voters should read more about American history in relationship to the Republican party. As a starter, I recommend you read my post:

Ronald Reagan Foretold Inherent Dangers In Obama Forcing Socialism Down Americans' Throats

President Barack Obama has no right, as President of the United States of America, to coerce Americans into paying for medical care. America is a democracy, not a kingdom, and Obama is a president, not a king.


I don't think he gets that, though, and this is extremely troubling to many Americans, including myself. The great and beloved U.S. President Ronald Reagan was way ahead of the political climate that has just occurred regarding the passing of Obama's Health Care Reform Act by Congress.

President Reagan warned Americans years ago, in 1961 to be exact, about the inherent dangers present in socialized medicine. In Ronald Reagan Speaks Out Against Socialized Medicine, a 1961 LP featuring Ronald Reagan speaking for more than 10 minutes, President Reagan said: "subsidized medicine would curtail Americans' freedom" and that "pretty soon your son won't decide when he's in school, where he will go or what he will do for a living. He will wait for the government to tell him." 1

President Reagan continues: "Reagan says "One of the traditional methods of imposing statism or socialism on a people has been by way of medicine. It’s very easy to disguise a medical program as a humanitarian project, most people are a little reluctant to oppose anything that suggests medical care for people who possibly can’t afford it." Reagan cites the failure of president Harry Truman's national health insurance proposal as evidence of the American people's rejection of socialized medicine." 1

Senate Republicans Find Needle In Haystack; GOP Hunts For New Glitches

Senate Republicans discovered a glitch in the new Health Care Bill. The Health Care Bill glitch deals with Pell Grants and low-income college students. 1

CONSERVATIVE WORDSMITH.COM COMMENTARY: Democrats rejected every Republican amendment for 9 hours in a row last night and into the wee hours of this morning. Republicans finally noticed a glitch in the Pell Grant early this morning.

Now that Republicans are on a roll, they are going to look for more glitches. Conservatives want to know the answer to this question: Will Republicans find enough glitches in Obama's Health Care Plan to halt it completely?

I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on that one. Democrats have an agenda, and they will not let up on their zeal to turn America into a Socialist-bordering-on Communist country.

This is not only about President Barack Obama's Heathcare Bill. It's about a corrupt liberal leftist Congress with too many Democrats who side with the United Nations on too many issues. Perhaps America will soon be called another name -- Obamica? United Nations of American States? Your guess is as good as mine.

"After nine straight hours of beating back Republican amendments, Senate Democrats hit a temporary snag in the nighttime hours early Thursday. They had hoped to complete work on the fix-it bill by midday Thursday and get it quickly to Obama without changes to avoid prolonging what has been a politically painful ordeal for the party." 1

But Republicans learned early Thursday they will be able to kill some language in the bill that relates to Pell grants for low-income college students. That means the altered bill will have to be returned to the House for final congressional approval before it can be sent to Obama." 1

"Democrats described the situation as a minor glitch, but did not rule out that Republicans might be able to remove additional sections of the bill." 1

"Republicans have been hunting for such violations in hopes of bringing down the legislation. Democrats had also been consulting with the parliamentarian, Alan Frumin, and hoped they had written a measure that would not be vulnerable to such problems."

"The development came as the Senate completed nine hours of uninterrupted voting on 29 GOP amendments to the legislation. Majority Democrats defeated every amendment." 1

"By 57-42, Democrats rejected an amendment by Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., barring federal purchases of Viagra and other erectile dysfunction drugs for sex offenders. Coburn said it would save millions of dollars, while Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., called it "a crass political stunt." 1

Democrats also deflected GOP amendments rolling back the health law's Medicare cuts; killing extra Medicaid funds for Tennessee and other state-specific spending; barring tax increases for families earning under $250,000; and requiring the president and other administration officials to purchase health care from exchanges the statute creates." 1

How To Escape Obama's Health Care Plan: Join The Amish Or Convert To Islam

In light of media coverage proclaiming that President Obama's new Health Care Plan is to cover 94-95% of Americans, I have been wondering who the other 5-6% might be. I thought about the Amish. They don't believe in health insurance, but prefer to take care of each other when in need or ill, which is a Christian concept, and part of their strict Christian faith.

I respect the Amish, although I don't agree with some of their tenets. At least they are a peacable people, and generally don't go around physically harming others. On my Townhall.com weblog I previously wrote and published a post about the Amish being exempt from the Military. *See Link To This Post Below.

I have also been wondering about Christian Scientists who, based on their religious beliefs, generally don't believe in going to doctors at all, but rely on their own internal Christian Scientist practitioners. Will they be exempt also?

I have now been alerted to a post published today on American Thinker about the Amish being exempt, due to their religious beliefs, from the new Obama Administration Health Care Plan. Christian Scientists are not mentioned in this particular article, but Orthodox Muslims are! And this has to be the epitomy of nonsensical political correctness within the logic of those who invented this extremely controversial Health Care Plan.

Anyone who lives in the vicinity of Los Angeles, California, which includes myslef, is quite aware of the fact that there are a large number of Muslim doctors in this area who definitely accept medical insurance. My guess is they're not Orthodox Muslims. In fact, the American Thinker post states: "Whether it's all right to serve as a doctor, nurse, or orderly caring for patients whose medical services are being paid for by insurance is not covered in the present response ... " 

To quote the American Thinker article:

It says in Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah (15/251):



"In Fataawa al-Lajnah al-Daa'imah (15/277) there is a quotation of a statement of the Council of Senior Scholars concerning the prohibition on insurance and why it is haraam:



Firstly: Commercial insurance of all types is haraam because it involves ambiguity, riba, uncertainty, gambling and consuming people's wealth unlawfully, and other shar'i


Secondly: It is not permissible for the Muslim to get involved with insurance companies by working in administration or otherwise, because working in them comes under the heading of cooperating in sin and transgression, and Allaah forbids that as He says: "but do not help one another in sin and transgression. And fear Allaah. Verily, Allaah is Severe in punishment"
[al-Maa'idah 5:2]. End quote. 1

U.S. Economy And Political Machinations Of Obama Health Care Plan In America

The U.S. economy will suffer due to the political machinations of President Barack Obama, and his politically leftist Democratic Congress passing of Obama's Health Care Bill, which has left many Americans feeling fear, confusion, doubt, sorrow, and anger. 

Forcing policies upon American citizens against their wills, policies that are not guaranteed rights in the United States Constitution or Bill of Rights, as far as I know, is unconstitutional. This is just one of many sharp contrasts between Democrats and Republicans. Democrats believe in Big Government, and its ability to govern the lives of Americans; Republicans believe in Americans, and their ability to largely govern their own lives. 

What the Obama Administration has done should be recognized by the United States Supreme Court as being unconstitutional, and, consequently, illegal. The United States Congress has crossed the line of democracy. At least a dozen attorneys, representing twelve states, are planning to sue the Federal government over President Obama's Health Care Plan.

If creating a National Health Insurance Plan was the #1 top priority in the mind of Barack Obama and his Administration, it should have been accomplished without the use of "force," and without getting the IRS involved in this "force" factor.

Creating 16,000 jobs within the IRS, for the main purpose of penalizing and policing Americans who either can't afford, or simply are not interested in, Obama's National Health Plan, for whatever reasons, is not the way to help the American economy.

Obama To Sign Healthcare Bill Using 20 Different Pens

I don't know what the reasoning is behind President Obama's signing the Healthcare Bill with 20 different pens. *See Below For Newly Published Information As To Reasons Why Obama Used 20 Different Pens To Sign Healthcare Bill. Updated On Wednesday, March 24, 2010. 

In addition to members of Congress, there will also be additional Americans, private citizens, who have been invited to the signing ceremony to talk about how they will personally benefit from Obama's Healthplan:

*March 24, 2010 Update:

Reason #1: "Many American presidents have changed pens for the documents they sign. These pens are then given as gifts to diplomats, dignitaries, museums, other senators and other distinguished persons." from http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_did_Obama_use_many_different_pens_in_signing_a_bill 

Reason #2: "He was continuing a long-standing White House tradition for approving important legislation."

"The pens are 'a way of giving a very meaningful memento to the people who played a significant role in passing the legislation,' said Mark Peterson, a professor of public policy and political science at UCLA."

"Obama kept a pen for himself after signing the bill, and 19 pens were given out as mementos. Two will go to his presidential archives."

Pens play a role in signing of healthcare legislation

Obama Signs Healthcare Bill - America Now Belongs To Socialists

Obama has signed the Healthcare Bill -- it's official. America is now becoming a Socialist country thanks to President Barack Obama (Democrat), perhaps the most leftist liberal U.S. President in American history.

"Obama paid tribute to what he called the 'historic leadership and uncommon courage' of the members of Congress who pushed ahead with the measure amid the often heated debate. He also hailed the new law, saying it helps lift a 'decades-long drag' on the economy." 1

"Shortly after Obama signed the bill, mostly Republican attorneys general from 13 states said they are suing the federal government to stop the health care overhaul, arguing that the provision that requires Americans to carry health insurance is unconstitutional. Experts say the effort will likely fail because the U.S. Constitution states that federal law supersedes state laws, but the legal challenge may keep the issue fresh in the mind of voters come November." 1

"Now the president must sell the law's merits to a wary American public." 1

"The next act begins Thursday, when Obama visits Iowa City, Iowa, where he announced his health care plan as a presidential candidate in May 2007. There Obama plans to talk about how the new law will help lower health care costs for small businesses and families, selling the overhaul to Americans who are deeply divided over the plan." 1

"The House passed the 10-year, $938 billion bill Sunday night after a rancorous debate. Not one Republican voted for the bill. Some Democrats also voted against it." 1
