Barack Obama - vs. The Heritage Foundation
The Heritage Foundation takes issue with Barack Obama's use of their name.
In their rebuttal, they point out behaviors that are being used across the spectrum to imply that liberal policies somehow incorporate conservative ideas and support.
That's just NOT true!...

That's just NOT true!...
Heritage Foundation President, Ed Feulner, begins with this:
"President Obama this morning cited The Heritage Foundation’s research in an attempt to sell his health care package as a “middle of the road, centrist approach.” We take great exception to this misuse of our work and abuse of our name. This is but the latest act in a campaign to sell this big-government program as a moderate law that incorporates conservative ideas. Americans should not be fooled.
Let’s be very clear: We oppose this new law because it is a radical new intrusion into the daily lives of all Americans and a massive takeover of one-sixth of the U.S. economy. We view the President’s health care law as inimical to our national interests and offensive to the historic American dedication to the principle of self-government."
