The following video shows Robert Reich, former Secretary of Labor under Clinton, AND AN ADVISOR TO BARACK OBAMA, speaking to a political science class at U C Berkley on behalf of the Democratic Party on September 26, 2007. That is about 24 months ago. The basic message of Mr. Reich’s speech was: when you get old, it is not worth the money for the government to take care of you and prolong your life with expensive procedures or prescriptions to keep you alive or feeling good for a few months or a few years, so “WE WILL LET YOU DIE”.
This low life, Secretary Reich, who actually gets paid for expressing this and more of his obscene views on other subjects like energy, actually received an applause. This is beyond comprehension.
America, Are you waking up yet?

Robert Reich comments on the video:
Lou Dobbs, Sean Hannity, Rush, and the right-wing blogosphere seem interested in a talk I gave in September, 2007 to students in a political science class here at Berkeley, in which I played the role of a presidential candidate so politically incorrect and tone-deaf as to pummel every sacred cow in sight — including the notion that our society could afford and would continue forever to pay whatever amount of money was required to keep everyone alive forever. The whole point of the mock exercise was to show that presidential candidates can’t state what everyone knows to be the truth because they’ll be taken apart by the Right or the Left. I slew many other sacred cows in that mock exercise, some of which are held dearly by the Left. Nonetheless, two years later the Right has exhumed the lecture and taken my words completely out of context purportedly to show that Obama and the Democrats plan death panels.
If their desperation weren’t so pathetic it would be funny. After all, they have proven the whole point of my lecture. UC Berkeley maintains an archive of webcasts and my speech is available there verbatim, should you wish to listen to it in its entirety.

Our response to Reich:
Robert, we have listened to the full transcript of your Berkeley speech. No where in any of your remarks did you say or imply that your comments were part of a “mock” exercise. (Mock = lead on, deceive, ridicule, false and / or pretend) What you did make clear, and what you make clear again in your above comments was that “Presidential candidates can’t state what everyone knows to be the truth, because they would be taken apart by the right or the left.”
Robert Reich, you and most on the left still do not get the point. You were telling the truth. You were not pretending or mocking anything. The voters in the United States want to be told the truth, can tell the truth from a falsehood and congratulate you for telling the truth, finally. Where you, Obama, Ezekiel Emanuel (your Health care rationing Czar) and others are lying is when they say one thing today, like you have at Berkeley in 2007, and then deny it here in 2009. You can’t have it both ways. Obama does this every day also. See Obama’s comments on this subject below:

Next up, Ezekiel Emanuel, (the Obama Health policy Advisor – Rationing Czar) basicly says the same thing as Reich and Obama and then denies it.
