Obama Wants Total Government Control Over Health Care, Says Conservative Leader Phyllis Schlafly

Washington (CNSNews.com) - President Barack Obama did not have a “real job” prior to entering politics other than as a community organizer, an experience he is now using to deceive Americans into accepting a new government-run health care system, said Phyllis Schlafly at a National Press Club luncheon on Monday where she received a lifetime achievement award.

“I think we would be better off if we defeated the whole thing [health care bill] that is proposed,” said Schlafly, a major conservative leader since the early 1960s. “Then, if there is some particular remedy that we can work on, we can try that.”

“But everything Obama is promoting on the health care industry is bad, is government control, which is what he wants,” she said. “You know he never had a real job before he got in politics.”
