Pelosi: Soon All Americans Will Become Deadbeats

Whenever a divorced dad or non-custodial parent goes to jail for falling behind in child support payments, there's always a law-and-order type within reach of a journalist to say how happy he or she is that the "deadbeat" has finally gone to the slammer -- and never mind whether or not the supposed "deadbeat" has just lost a job, become sick or disabled, etc.

Well, now thanks to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Obama's healthcare reform drive, all Americans will get a chance to become government-declared "deadbeats" and get to go to jail too.

According to a press release from House Ways and Means Committee member John Camp (R-MI), the bill recently put before Congress by Pelosi (and likely to be rubber-stamped soon) will force Americans to buy $15,000 health care policies or face $250,000 in fines and up to 5 years imprisonment.

Obama's Freudian Slip

A Freudian slip, is that which occurs when someone says or does something which expresses a repressed wish. The term, used in psychoanalysis, was named after Dr. Sigmund Freud, who was the first to explore such slips.

Now comes Obama's Nazi slip on the healthcare issue with the unveiling of a new healthcare symbol on the White House website. Obama, who likes to "brand" his policies the way big corporations brand their products, is known for his fondness of slick graphic symbols. But now, according to conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh, Obama might have branded himself in a very negative way.

Limbaugh says that Obama's health care symbol very closely resembles a Nazi eagle. Below are the two symbols side by side. You be the judge ...
