       PRESIDENT OBAMA'S SUPPORT FOR HEALTH CARE REFORM IS WANING

  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, the more details Americans learn about the 
government takeover of health care proposed by the President and the 
liberal leadership of Congress, the less support there is for this 
insane idea.
  A Washington Post-ABC poll shows more than half of this country is 
opposed to this plan. Yes, support for this crazy deep dive into 
socialism is fading fast.
  The nonpartisan CBO says this plan won't reduce the cost as the 
President suggested; it will accelerate it. And we know that will kill 
jobs.
  This liberal Congress rammed the stimulus and cap-and-trade, which 
nobody could read before voting, down the throats of the American 
people. But they are now fed up and on to their strategy.
  We don't want DMV, Department of Motor Vehicles, style medicine with 
long waiting lines, delayed care and skyrocketing cancer death rates as 
in Canada and the UK. We don't want a system that will bankrupt this 
country and ignore the elderly, and we sure don't want our tax money 
paying for abortions.
  Simply put, we want commonsense health care reform, not nonsense 
health care reform as now proposed.
