TX-32--Pete Sessions to family in need: "Tell it to the President"

I just posted a new video at our Sessions Watch channel on YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uYaYqe3ARJU

This video shows the part that Thought Criminal related in a previous post, Pete Sessions' answer to a woman who told the story about her husband's liver transplant and how hard it is to afford his anti-rejection medicine.

In answer to her heart breaking story, he just threw red meat to the base, blaming Obama. Shameful...and typical.

CBS 11 did a follow up story about the woman; you can read about it at this link:

1. Thanks for posting this.

Reading the story about this was heartbreaking enough, but actually seeing his cold-blooded response blew me away. There was absolutely no compassion or care for this woman who is trying to keep her husband alive. He couldn't even pretend, but had to spew is pub. talking points instead. Chilling and inhumane.

2. Thanks for the video CoolOnion

The woman got it right - it's about health coverage. She got a nice round of applause when she said "I'm an American citizen and I deserve the same kind of health coverage you get. I pay my taxes..."

But of course double voting Olsen had to make it all about taxes and spending.

How many times are the Republicans going to keep lying about Obama spending more money than Bush in his 8 years. They keep trying to tag that last bank bailout bill to Obama when it was passed by the Bush administration.

Liar!! :grr:

3. All they have are lies.

It's hard to debate right-wingers, 'cause they don't know anything. Surely, there are fact-based differences we can discuss, without their side having to make stuff up!
