Ed Schultz Uses Cheney's Heart Condition To Pass Health Care Reform

MSNBC Host Ed Schultz Said Tuesday during his that Vice President Dick Cheney was the so-called poster boy for nationalized health care in America. Ed Schultz said, in a sarcastic way that he, wished the former Vice President had a speedy recovery becasue he is now the poster child for health Care in America said Ed Schultz to the Huffington Post's Sekoff. "I mean, five deferments and five heart attacks," Schultz continued. "That's a hell of a life, isn't it, Roy?" (video embedded below the fold with transcript, h/t Story Balloon):

ED SCHULTZ, HOST: Dick Cheney going to be released from a hospital in a day or two after suffering a minor heart attack. I wish the former Vice President a speedy recovery because he is now the poster child for healthcare in this country. Americans would love to have the same healthcare coverage that Dick Cheney has. Joining me now for all of that is Roy Sekoff, founding editor of the Huffington Post. I mean, five deferments and five heart attacks. That's a hell of a life, isn't it, Roy?

ROY SEKOFF, HUFFINGTON POST: You nailed it, Ed. He's now matched the deferments as he has with the heart attacks. But, as you say, you know, the average American, if Dick Cheney was Joe Schmoe, you know, he would have lost his insurance a long time ago. He would have lost his house, he would have lost his job, he would have lost his car, he would have lost his credit cards. You know, because we know that 50% of all bankruptcies are the result of a medical emergency like this. So, you can imagine. Could you imagine if Cheney if he was an average guy trying to get insurance? Can you imagine that call, Ed? "Yeah, I'm 69. I have had five heart attacks. I have had quadruple bypass, two angioplasties, and I've had a defibrillator stuck. Hello? Hello?" You know, not going to happen.

SCHULTZ: Roy, I think that the Democrats should use Dick Cheney as the example as to what the Republicans have been voting against all along. This is the kind of healthcare Americans could have if we went with President Obama's plan. Thanks to Newsbusters.com for transcripts.

Cheney And CIA Witheld Secret Program

Former Vice President Cheney and CIA are under fire again by the Democratic socialist Establishment. The New York Times reports that Vice President Cheney told the CIA to withheld information about a "Secret Counterintelligence Program" for eight years on direct orders from Vice President Dick Cheney office. The report says the Vice President Cheney was behind the decision to conceal the still unidentified program from Congress deepened the mystery surrounding it, suggesting that the Bush Administration put high priority on the program secrecy. Mr. Panettea ended the program when he, first learned of it's existence from subordinates June 23, briefed two intelligence committees the next day. The program did not involve CIA Interrogation program or Domestic intelligence activities by the Bush Administration. The program was started after the 9/11 attacks but "never became fully operational" involving planning and some training took place on and off. The Democrats hatred for the CIA and Bush Administration has reached a all-time high when the are attacking a organization that has protected the American people for the last nine years. The Democratic led Congress was looking for something to cover-up for Speaker Nancy Pelosi lying to the American people about her knowledge of enhanced interrogations program. The moral at the CIA has to be extremely low because they are under attack by the Democrats who have complete control of Congress and White House. The CIA will have there hands tied for the next 3 and half years under the Obama Administration because the average CIA officer will not undertake any new secret programs because they will be terrified of prosecution by the Obama Administration. Finally, the Democrats in Congress will not be happy until they have Vice President Cheney head on a platter. There is also, word going around Washington that Attorney General Eric Holder will appoint a "Special Prosecutor" to investigate enhanced interrogations of terrorist. Attorney General Holder is under intense pressure by the left-wing of the Democratic Party to deliver some convictions of Bush Administration officials. This politically motivated investigation will tear this country apart at the seems because the Bush Administration Protected this country from another 9/11.

OBAMA "TORTURE BUSH OFFICIALS"

In a not so stunning reversal President Obama says that it is still possible that Bush Administration Officials will be tried for torture. The President told the American people only a week ago that he would no be looking back but forward when it came to fighting the war on terror. The President said that it will be up to Attorney General Holder to make the decision on whether to press charges against Bush Administration Officials. The Attorney General Holder back in 2002 said in front of a Congressional hearing said that the Geneva Convention rules did not apply to members of a terrorist group so, how can he prosecute Bush Officials for torture. The Obama Administration Chief Of Staff Rham Emanuel said Sunday that there would be no charges against Bush Administration Officials and Robert Gibbs Press Secretary for the Obama Administration also, said on Monday that there would be no charges against Bush Administration officials for torture. The President reversed his stance on prosecuting Bush Officials after Sen. Diane Feinstein, MSNBC, NBC NEWS and a petition by Move On.Org George Soros Organization made it clear that they wanted Bush Administration officials prosecuted. The President has made on of the biggest mistakes in the history of our country because he has now criminalized policy differences between administrations. This means the incoming Republican President can prosecute the Obama Administration for policy differences on the war on terror. President Obama has crossed the line and made this war on terror a political issue between Democrats and Republicans which could tear this country apart. Therefore, Vice President Dick Cheney has to come out of his bunker to protect the Bush Administration policy toward terrorist by saying that the information we received by using harsh interrogation tactics helped save American lives. There is a memo by Admiral Blair who was appointed by President Obama saying that these interrogations worked and helped saved American lives is the smoking gun against the Obama Administration.. Vice President Cheney told Hannity that he wanted all the memos released to the American public because he wanted the whole story told not just selective releases of information that will make the Bush Administration look bad in the eyes of the world. This controversy will spur a commission on torture and House and Senate hearings that will turn into a food fight between Democrats and Republicans. The President is suppose to unite the country not tear it apart because of a policy difference on fighting a war. Finally. it seems like President Obama is at war against the Bush Administration instead of being at war against the terrorist. This clown makes me sick.
