Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. -- who introduced that provision in the House bill dealing with end of life care.?

Addressing the idea of the so-called "death panels that will basically pull the plug on Grandma because we've decided that ... it's too expensive to let her live anymore," Obama pointed out that it was actually a Republican -- Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga. -- who introduced that provision in the House bill dealing with end of life care.

Update:

so stop blaming the President it was a member of the GOP that entered the death to granny legislation

Update 3:

Yesterday, the Washington Post’s Ezra Klein spoke with Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA), a member of the Senate’s Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. Isakson “co-sponsored 2007’s Medicare End-of-Life Planning Act and proposed an amendment similar to the House bill’s Section 1233

    Very true, though he too is smart enough to know that this has nothing to do with 'death to granny' and will actually be helpful to her medical care. I loved how Isakson called Sarah Palin an idiot for her irrational comments on his legislation.

    You morons just don't get it! It doesn't matter if they are republican or democrat. And sure it doesn't matter they white or black or purple. It doesn't matter if they gave you everything you wanted in a nationalized health insurance plan.

    They are liars. They are crooks. They are corrupt. Every dang one of them is as worthless salt on chickenshit.

    If you let them start on this, it will be just a matter of time before they change it completely, one little step at a time, so that they can use it to control you and your kids.

    Do you know that the income tax was sold to the people as only effecting the top 1% of the wage earners? Middle class and poor were supposed to be exempt. How much did you have to pay in income tax last year? I don't feel like I'm a top 1%'er, but I had to pay.

    These traitors are selling you down a river, taking away another fiber of your freedom, one step at a time. And, you sit here and defend them as they do it.

    So, yes I blame the president... he should by shot as traitor or imprisoned for dereliction of duty. Every member of congress should never see the light of day again, and all their worldly possessions stripped from their families (that includes the American royalty).

    And you should take a good hard look at the last hundred years, at every entitlement program that was supposed to end hunger and misery.

    Now ask yourself... did it work?

    So what's the chance that this work?

    Why should you trust the track record of these idiots to anything more than wash your windows?

    Even worse, Sarah Palin doesn't know what the other Sarah Palin is doing. She issued a issued a proclamation for Healthcare Decisions Day in Alaska advocating end of life counseling. The difference is that the one in the proposed health care legislation would have paid for the voluntary counseling.

  • Johnny Isakson is my Senator and you have just mentioned propaganda derived by President Obama and his cronies.

    The truth will change nothing. Besides unless the Right -wing talking heads decide to tell them truth for once the nut cases that think the government is going to kill off old people will never see it.
