O’Reilly interviewed President Obama last year before the Super Bowl. Let us discuss some of the points that Bill covers in this video.
POINT #1: Does Obama want to re-distribute wealth? The President said “No” and then O’Reilly reminded him of ObamaCare and asked “but isn’t that redistribution of wealth?” The Presidents said one thing he does know is that he can’t see someone getting sick and going bankrupt.
I totally agree with the President on this point. I can’t see people going broke either when having huge medical bills. However, I do know that medical facilities try to work with people in a situation like this. ObamaCare will not fix the problem of getting good medical care, in will likely do the opposite when doctors and hospitals have to change the quality of care they are able to provide because of the mandate regulations and costs.
I know that, if I was under ObamaCare when I had a pulmonary embolism, I would have been denied treatment and sent home to die. If I needed to be cleared by a medical panel before getting proper treatment, I would have been sent home because of an incorrect diagnosis of a respiratory infection and bronchitis diagnosed on a trip to emergency room. Both were incorrect diagnoses in past doctor and hospital visits the day before. I would not have had time to be pre-approved by the panel before receiving the treatment I needed to survive. The treatment I needed was very expensive tests that the panel would have never approved because of the prior misdiagnosis. An hour after the hospital sent me home, I had to be rushed back by ambulance. Finally, another doctor saw me after I insisted I get a different doctor than the one who sent me home with 70/40 blood pressure and difficulty breathing.
As you know, ObamaCare issue is now in the Supreme Court and will be decided soon. With about half of Americans still being against ObamaCare and the business world being reluctant to hire or expand their businesses because of the cost of ObamaCare, it’s hard to say that this mandate is good for America.
POINT #2: Does Obama have concerns about Egypt and the Muslim Brotherhood and are they a threat to the U.S.? The President said the Brotherhood are only a faction in Egypt and does not hold a majority. The President also noted that the brotherhood is well organized and there are strains of ideology that are anti U.S., no doubt about it. Obama said, “What I want is a representative government in Egypt. I have confidence that, if Egypt moves along in an orderly process, we will have a government in Egypt that we can work with together.
Well Mr. President, I have a big problem with the Brotherhood in Egypt and with those who serve in your administration. You should be very concerned about this Islamic faction!
As O’Reilly says, “It’s a mess in Egypt and Islamists are behind it.” O’Reilly points out, Egypt has 19 Americans that they plan to put on trial with charged that are trumped up. As a result, the U.S. is threatening to suspend the $1.3 billion in aid that we give them (I realize that the video below states $1.3 million so here are some links to help you get the correct information:

POINT #3: President Obama is in a better position today than he was last year at this time.
However, this poll means little because we still have nine months before the elections and lots can happen in that time. If the President looks better, he still have a problem with the debt he and his cohorts have left for our children.
Jobs most likely decide the race, unless the Republican challenger can clearly define the danger of America’s massive debt. The Presidential Debates will mean a lot this year, as independents try to decide who to support.
My hope and prayer is that people won’t be fooled by him and his charm again and that they will remember what he has done to this nation. I think it all depends on the Republican Party and how much they focus on this administrations short-comings instead of each other, and they’d better start doing that SOON! If Americans can’t stop this administration from crashing the economy and busting the dollar, there will likely be no elections in nine months anyway.
