ran 4.1 miles
Today ends week twenty-seven of running against Obama. I ran 24.1 miles this week, averaging 3.44 miles per day.
Recently, a friend of mine brought an important fact to my attention, which I need to address concerning some misinformation on this blog. I try diligently to cite verifiable facts when the need arises to back up my opinion but I failed in this particular case. It was not my intention to exaggerate any truths or to blatantly post something false under the guise of factuality and, with that being said, while my opinions are up for interpretation, facts are not.
Here is what happened. On Day141 and Day184, I listed what I thought were some facts regarding ObamaCare. To my fault, I did not dig deeply enough to verify the integrity of my source. The information is presented as an outline drafted by Judge David Kithil of Marble Falls, Texas in which he assumingly points out facts about the health care bill, itemized by sections and page numbers. After doing some research I can officially say it is indeed misinforming.
If you’re interested in learning more about Judge Kithil’s outline of ObamaCare, start here to see his list. Click here to see to what degree aspects of Judge Kithil’s claims are false or true.
I apologize for the misinformation and I will use more scrutiny in verifying my sources in the future. The last thing I want is to lose credibility from people who support or oppose the views expressed in this blog. I am passionate about this nation and I am passionate in my belief that Barack Obama is leading America in the wrong direction, but there is no excuse to purposely misconstrue facts to prove that point. That was not my intention and I will correct the mistake by denoting on Day141 and Day184 that Judge Kithil’s outline of ObamaCare does not accurately reflect the actual text of the health care bill.
Using this source was unfortunate, but I am in no way deterred from my opinion that ObamaCare is a severely flawed plan that has been tested in other countries and proven to fail. Obama is finally offering concessions for states to model their own health care plans based on federal requirements after realizing how absurd it was to create a blanket health care plan for fifty diverse states. But, even with this concession, states are still banding together to avoid the federal government’s grip on health care entirely. That is a big statement and it is also a fact.
1,547.9 miles to go.

I don't think "Obamacare" exists in other countries. From what I understand, England and France had s single payer system with no insurance companies involved.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people have pretty strong opinions of this bill but haven't even read it. They are relying on what politicians say about the bill in order to form an opinion. I would ask 99.9 percent of people who oppose the bill this: can you say you've read the bill?... HELL NO YOU CAN'T!!!
I swear, the amount of time people spend bitchin' about this bill and listening to other people's opinion of the bill (who themselves haven't read it) could be spent reading the bill and forming a truly informed position.
The bill is online at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-111hr3590enr/pdf/BILLS-111hr3590enr.pdf
