Vote for Obama Because of Planned Parenthood? Wait Until You Hear What He Said at a N.H. High School

According to a White House transcript, President Obama told a New Hampshire crowd Monday that they should vote for him because Republicans will prevent women from making their own health care choices, prevent “young” people from staying on their parent’s health insurance, make college educations a “luxury,” and will somehow prevent Americans from controlling their own energy.
He did this, it seems, while slamming the undue influence of big donors in our “democracy,“ claiming that he has a ”detailed” plan to fix the country that follows in the footsteps of Bill Clinton.
Can you get your arms around all that?
“In this election, on every single challenge that we face, you’ve got the final say,” he told the audience at Oyster River High School in Durham, N.H.
“You can decide that instead of restricting access to birth control or defunding Planned Parenthood, we should make sure that in this country, women control their own health care choices. That’s up to you,” he said to roars of applause, according to both the transcript and available video.
See a clip of the speech, via CNS News, below:
And while reports don’t indicate that the audience was solely made up of high school students, it’s a fair bet that quite a few were in attendance. Notably, the president failed to clarify to potentially impressionable voters that Republican lawmakers have never indicated that they don’t want women to “control their own health care choices” — they just don‘t want taxpayers subsidizing another person’s birth control or abortions.
Obama continued: “[You can decide] whether over 3 million young people being able to stay on their parent’s health insurance plan is the right thing to do,” without noting that these “young people” can be 26-years-old, married, and financially independent. This could be confusing for anyone, but is likely of particular concern to the actual “young people” in the crowd, who are being led to believe they’ll have to fend for themselves if Obama loses the election.

The president added that “a college education can’t be a luxury. It’s a vital necessity for everybody. And that’s the choice in this election …” He will ensure this “necessity,” he says, by offering more student loans and financial aid, while somehow holding down the costs of tuition.

He did not, however, discuss the plight of the countless recently-graduated students who are drowning in student debt, nor did he mention that he does not yet have the authority to mandate what private institutions charge.
“Now, I’m running so that we have a future where we control our own energy, and that’s good for our economy, our security,” the president declared, after months of delay on the Keystone Pipeline.
Utilizing our own natural resources doesn’t seem to be the key here, however. He continued: “So my plan would end government subsidies to oil companies that are making plenty of profits. Let’s double down on clean energy — (applause) — wind power and solar power, next generation of biofuels, fuel-efficient cars. That’s the choice in this election.”
As for the claim that he has a “detailed plan” to fix the economy– that may be true, but he has not passed a budget in three years.
As far as presidential speeches go, if Oyster River High School was any indication, Obama seems to be growing a little desperate: It seemed to be nothing more than a composite of factually dubious clichés and talking points.

Posted on June 27, 2012 at 11:10amFrom:http://blackgenocide.org/planned.html
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn’t that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the ***** Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, “Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.” Is her vision being fulfilled today?
As an American everyone who agrees with equality should read this, at the current rate of abortions I wonder who the dictator thinks he will have in his “army” and eric “the racist” holder won’t have to worry about working for “his people” they will be exterminated as the founder of planned parenthood wanted.

And the similarities between Nixon and Obama are astounding.It was like every few minutes there would be something about Nixon,and something he did,that resembles what Obama is doing now.
Nixon had hit lists,was a paranoid narcissist,thought he was above the law,made campaign promises to end the war-only to allow it to drag on with no clue as how to end it.He also famously used executive privilege to keep the truth about a scandal from coming out.etc,etc,etc.

Posted on June 26, 2012 at 4:10pmIt’s actually closer to, Republicans will prevent women from murdering innocent unborn children, and…
As to making college educations a “luxury,” the schools themselves are making this happen without GOP help. They‘re raising tuitions year after year here in Floirida and I know that’s the case elsewhere.
Regarding preventing Americans from controlling their own energy… uh… BWAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! This coming from Mr. “Gas prices will necessarily skyrocket?” Mr. “They can open a coal plant, but it will bankrupt them?” YOU are supposedly a better option to us controlling our energy? Well, control being the key word, maybe. You’ll definitely be controlling it to the point of pricing us out of the market and forcing us to consume less in the desire to make America a “greener” nation.
Finally, preventing “young” people from staying on their parent’s health insurance: this is a classic Red Herring, being that GOP leadership has repeatedly stated that’s one of very few things they liked in ObummerCare. This isn’t going away, although it should because 26 year olds are old enough to take care of themselves.

If you cannot pass the exam, you’ll not be qualified to vote.
