From last night’s Fox News All-Stars.
On Obama presiding over the U.N. Security Council and passing a nuclear non-proliferation resolution:
What did he accomplish? Nothing. This is really quite surreal. As we speak, the Iranians are spinning thousands of centrifuges and developing uranium. The American delegate at IAEA announces that Iran already has enough uranium to construct a bomb. It’s testing its missiles, flouting all U.N. resolutions, as are the North Koreans.
And the response of America?
The president of the United States — on camera, of course — presides over a perfectly useless meeting of the Security Council and passes a perfectly useless resolution airily declaring the end of nuclear weapons.
Look, my model U.N. in high school was more realistic than this Security Council. The resolution, as you pointed out, isn’t even binding.
And the problem is that the assumption of Obama is that the reason that these rogue states are pursuing nukes is because we have not led by example — rather than the obvious, that they want the prestige and the power of having a nuke.
In fact, the ’80’s and the ’90’s, when we radically reduced our arsenals, is precisely when Iran and [North] Korea launched their ambitions and nuclear programs….
On the CBO saying that Medicare Advantage would be cut under current health-care legislation:
The president has said: “If you like what you have, you keep it.” The problem is that, as you said, a quarter of seniors have this [Medicare Advantage] instead of the regular Medicare, and they like it.
A lot of them are poor, and the reason that they like it is it is a trade-off. There is a little bit of a restriction on who your doctor can be. However, you get benefits that the poor … can’t otherwise purchase it.
So the president has said on television on Sunday, it will make no difference if they take it [Medicare Advantage] away. Once again the CBO — impartial — rides in and shoots an arrow right through Obama’s promise.
It says that if you have Medicare advantage and it’s abolished you will lose half of the benefits. So you are not going to keep what you have.
That’s the original sin of the Obama [health-care] proposal. At the beginning, it said you’re going to get a free lunch. We’re going to expand the coverage at no cost. You cannot do it. Somebody has to pay, and here it is going to be seniors.
