I am surprised that you liberals, sorry socialists, out there are having such a hard time trying to verify the "facts" in the original post. This list is mentioned on SNOPES as a start. It is mentioned on a Snopes forum similar to this one but SNOPES does not confirm or deny the facts. There are several hundred other blogs and "news" sites that mention it. All of them either just post the list for their viewers or post it and refute it. ALL of them have the usual collection of Democrats, liberals, and Socialists hurling profanity and childish insults at the posters. That is the telling part.

Let's just use common sense. The statistics mentioned cannot possibly be accurate. Why? Simply because every country in the World, including the ones listed, compile their health statistics differently. There isn't even a standard method of defining cancer for example, much less how many people survive. I would suggest that this particular statistic is only important to the folks that have cancer. Investors Business Daily is an old newspaper that has focus on the business of investing. Their only interest in health statistics would be on which HMO to buy stocks from.

The best and most interesting source to refute the first part of the list, that I could find would be: http://tinyfrog.wordpress.com/2011/02/15/us-nationalized-healthcare/ What I gather from reading that site is that we spend a great deal more money on health care that everyone else without the coninsiding benefit.

As far as the second part of the list having to do with business experience: It would take an enormous amout of time to search out the facts on the previous administrations and I'm not certain anyone would have been compiling those facts in the first place. However, the gentleman at http://radicalpuppy.blogdrive.com/archive/112.html does an admirable job of checking on the current cabinet.

The only FACT that we all know and have come to love is that the only person at the management level in Washington D.C. without any business experience what-so-ever is Obama. He has never held a job that was designed to produce a real product or profit. I would be happy to entertain any proof to the contrary that you liberal/socialists can produce.

I will address your comment about Investors Business Daily .... they have an editorial colunm .... their business reporting and analysis the the best .... they routinely confuse objective financial reporting with their conservative adgenda anti Democrat, any Democrat position ...asI commented in a prior post .... don't read their editorials .... they are not financial in nature and extremely biased ..
