Clearing up the ‘facts’ about Obama

I can't sit here anymore and listen to people ramble mindlessly about our president while using lies as “facts.”

Obama is called a Muslim, yet he's also the anti-Christ (who is supposed to be a Christian)? He is a socialist who only cares about the redistribution of wealth from the upper class to the lower, but he also forces lower-class citizens to pay more taxes?

The United States spends about twice as much per person on health care than any other country, yet he is “pushing trillions of dollars of debt onto us” with the same bill that has been praised by economists for reducing the deficit by trillions? By re-signing a law that says we must pay for any legislation passed Obama is, yet again, increasing the debt? He is “forcing” people to pay for medical expenses out of their own pocket with a bill that makes insurance companies pay more of our medical expenses?

He is killing our babies by making sure no government funds can be used for abortion? The government is denying coverage by telling insurance companies they cannot deny coverage to us?

I mean, come on folks, you make no sense. If you don't like the government, feel free to give up your Medicare or veterans benefits, Social Security and disability. I would gladly use them for you.
