Demagogue:

a political leader who tries to get support by making false claims and promises and using arguments based on emotion rather than reason.


We all know Obama is a liar. Nothing new there. However, after reading this article I can't help but believe he is a total hack with no moral compass, believing only in his narrow-minded ideology.


Facing an epidemic of overdoses, Obama rejects governors proposal to limit painkiller prescriptions.

Members of the National Governors Association came to Washington for their annual winter meeting with President Obama Monday, armed with a plan to restrict access to prescription painkillers and end the country’s deadly opioid epidemic.

But the proposal, which drew bipartisan support from within the NGA over the weekend, received a less-than-enthusiastic response when presented to the president.

“If we go to doctors right now and say ‘Don’t overprescribe’ without providing some mechanisms for people in these communities to deal with the pain that they have or the issues that they have, then we’re not going to solve the problem, because the pain is real, the mental illness is real,” Obama said during his meeting with the governors Monday. “In some cases, addiction is already there.”

According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 47,055 people died from a drug overdose in the U.S. in 2014 — more than any other year on record. Some 61 percent of those fatal overdoses involved opioids, mostly prescription painkillers like OxyContin or Percocet, and heroin.

Obama wants gun control where in 2015 there were 13,000 deaths, but he wants the prescription mill to keep churning out addicts that killed 47,000 in 2014..

This man is totally shameless.

I never thought I'd see the day I agree with this "president".

However, after several bad motorcycle accidents in my younger days I now have chronic pain to deal with. Over the last 5 years Florida has been cracking down on Dr's prescribing prescription opioids. It has gotten so bad that Dr's can have their license suspended if just one of their patients are arrested for selling the painkillers.

This has made it very difficult to find a doctor to prescribe the medicine needed to live a productive life.

It's unfortunate that many abuse medicines that others really need to maintain a quality way of life.

If someone found a cure for cancer but it had a side-effect that created euphoria and became the number 1 street drug, should they ban it and deprive people a cure for cancer?

Sadly, I don't believe Obama really cares about those of us that need these medicines, rather just like the Keystone pipeline(where George Soros owns the contract to bring the Canadian oil here by way of Pacific Union railroad)Obama is just giving his buddies in the pharmaceutical industry a high five.

Okay, now give an example of any leading Republican or Democrat who ISN'T a demagogue, per that definition.

Pah-leeze.
