OK, it’s only funny on the level of clumsy Democrat astroturfing.

What the administration and its stooges are trying to do — not so funny.

“Peter Principle”. All astroturf. Soon the democrats will start eatin each other like a mama pig does to its litter.

…and had to be provided with loaner white lab coats by the White House staff. Too funny. Sad funny.

“Obama and the Amazing Unicolored Lab Coats”

Hello, is this thing on??? Don’t forget to tip your waiters and waitresses.

So 15 of the 50 doctors you found had donated to the Democratic Party or Obama…

And according to your detailed and fully reasoned hypothesis, the other 100 must have been big-time Democrat donors….

And…even granting the argument that Obama claims they are disinterested in the link you provided…which I don’t think he does…but again even stipulating that…

Why should this take away from the fact that they are doctors giving their take on health care?

Are you suggesting that somehow the only doctors that should give an opinion on health care are those that either do not donate to candidates they support or who donate to candidates you support?

It is posts like this that ruin political discourse in this country. Obama’s doctors are obviously going to lean left…the doctors the GOP roll out are going to lean right…what matters isn’t their political affiliation…what matters is being able to make a case for one side or position over the other.

This is a non-story for anyone with half a brain.

Good work on cross-checking the list. I notice that no Kansas doctor was present. Couldn’t HHS Secretary Sebelius find one from the state where she was just Governor?

especially for doctors.

1. Dr. Gary Goldbaum: $300 in donations to Democrats since 2004. — Really? In five years he could only scrounge up $300 total? I thought MoveOn had the heavyweights.

2. Dr. Stanton McKenna: $1,000 in donations to Democrats since 2001. — So over the last eight years combined, this doctor came up with a total of $1000.

No wonder the democrats fundraising numbers are hurting!

Arnold, Tommy Thompson, Bill Frist, and almost a Republican Michael Bloomberg. More Republicans are jumping on the bandwagon all the time.

last night endorsing Obamacare. Wouldn’t I like to know if he or his clinic received grants or no-interest loans from the American Re-Distribution Act. Wish they indexed recipients.

and I came across this article.

http://healthcarereform.nejm.org/?p=1790

From the New England Journal of Medicine.

The poll they took in Sept of doctors shows that

9.6% Support a public option only
62.9% Support both a public and private option
27.3% Support only private options.

To me that looks like 72.5% of doctors support some sort of public option.

I have to say that I’m not surprised, I have a number of doctors in the family and they are really feed up with the current system.

I hope they know what they are asking for, because if the Dems do push through some sort of Obamacare, I hope they like it, because it going to be very hard to undo.

he could have had all them just have a malpractice summons sticking out of their pocket.

BHO will try to manipulate any issue to make us all look like idiots. Hey
Barry, let me spell it out for you. WE THE PEOPLE DON’T WANT GOVERNMENT-RUN HEALTH-CARE!!! You can call in 150 or more doctors who are Democratic donors. THE ANSWER IS STILL NO!!!

Murdoch is a noted fan of Obama so expect Fox News to fall in line with rest of Obama media. Politico report today re meeting. Savage played audio about an hour ago of Shep Smith fervently defending the public option. Score one for Hugo Chavez.

Why didn’t they go the whole 9 and have them wear surgery masks and eyewear? Drape stethoiscopes around their necks, maybe tuck a medical journal under their arms – why not.

The issue is that this was the second meeting either Obama or his head stooge has had with Fox. First sometime last summer, Obama met with Murdoch and Ailes in NYC to plead his case. Now, 2 weeks ago Ailes meets with Axelrod. Murdoch does own the place and does love Obama, did instruct Ailes to send a memo to select staff last November telling them to treat Obama with kid gloves. I don’t watch news on tv, but am informed about how various outlets are perceived. Obama has 99% of the media promoting and protecting him, with Fox perceived as not doing so. It is an outrage that this man and his masters aim to have 100% control of the media, per Chavez in Venezuela whom Obama’s guy Mark Lloyd praises for having a democratic media.

What’s important definitely to understand here is that the White House, for good reason, realizes the backing of _Doctors_ (who everybody puts faith into when their guts are hanging out) versus the backing of Health insurance (everybody hates those guys) is the leverage to be used in this sliver of debate.

The reality is that most doctors know Obamacare is bad, there needs to be a unified voice from the GOP for the majority of doctors, in particular those who oppose Obamacare. There also needs not only a clear plan to retool insurance practices (tort reform), but also to point out how Health insurance has been a huge donor/ally to this administration.

BIG LIE = FACTUAL TRUTH THAT IS SO DISTURBING TO THE LIBS’ LIES AND PREJUDICES.

POTUS (P arking – O- T icket – U – S cofflaw) is obviously desperate!

Every profession has its misfits available to sell their mother for personal advantage. It has always been evident within medicine that one can buy any medical opinion to the highest bidder.

In this case, it is for a photograph with the ‘anointed one’ or perhaps sucking up for a czar job wherein they can pronounce that ‘the proposed treatment is not medically necessary’.

Knowing that, I suspect that many of the doctors who support Obamacare are psychiatrists or are connected to the substance abuse treatment industry because they will benefit greatly by the expanded coverage in Obamacare. Many others are probably doctors who work in government funded clinics.

isn’t whether the rally was disingenuous or deceptive (this is Obama after all, what else would it be?). It’s whether it’s effective PR that concerns me. And it may very well have been good PR.

I have a fear that Barak may have turned the PR tide on this issue. The bills chug through the Senate and House, slowly but relentlessly. A new AP poll shows supporters now tie opponents of Obamacare. His popularity is rising.

Part of the problem may be that opposition has passed from ordinary citizens in townhalls back to Republicans in Congress, who just don’t know how to, or are afraid to, oppose Democrats forcefully. The initiative needs to be taken back by opponents, and I’m not sure exactly how that is done at this point.

Has anyone had the chance to find out if any of the doctors present at this fru fru event were practicing physicians? A friend indicated that most of the members of the AMA are teaching, retired or consulting. You do not have to be a member of the AMA to practice medicine.
And most of the doctors with which I have had contact indicate that they are vehemently against this health care proposal.

Too bad Obama doesn’t mention that the AMA only represents 17% of doctors. I read a very good op-ed the same day as the White House “dog & pony” show signed by THREE ex-presidents of the AMA that were opposed to this bill and presented the changes that should be made in health care.

We knew this would be happening: the MSM needs NObama to succeed, and so here comes Gallup galloping to the rescue.

Is it rigged? Is it really possible that e.g. 16% of the elderly changed their minds in the last weeks because of the agitprop blizt from NObama? That opposition and supporters are evenly split at 40-40?

And don’t forget to point out that doctors who showed up without their white smocks had one handed out to them by staffers!

In IT we call this a “dog and pony show”.

when he coined the new word, “blackwhite” in his book, “1984″. Orwell defines Blackwhite: ” the ability to accept whatever ‘truth’ the party puts out, no matter how absurd it may be. Orwell described it as: “loyal willingness to say black is white when party demands this.” The people of today, especially our leaders, are so engrossed in being loyal to their own Party, that nothing else, including consideration of the well being of the entire country and the 300+ million people in it, is important or even necessary. Further, a basic ignorance on the part of most people about the country’s problems, along with a lack of understanding of the real consequences of some of the proposed remedys, allows “blackwhite” to exist and thrive.

I especially like how helpful Republicans have been, to support Obama’s agenda by submitting amendments enforcing Obama’s policies — and have them slapped down by Democrats dismissively, in direct conflict with their Dear Leader’s own spoken goals!

But then, most of the Dems are phonies like when they say Republicans have no ideas of their own about health care reform. Many of the Republican politicians have proposed GREAT ideas, but the Dems don’t like anything that won’t include taxpayer abortions down the line.

I emailed my Dem rep with some health reform suggestions, copied and pasted it, and sent it to a newspaper in the town where he lives, and said that this was my “note” to my congressman, and they published it. Now he can’t say that conservatives don’t have any ideas of their own because HIS home town knows that we do.

say the Republican party has no ideas because Republican ideas don’t agree with theirs. Portability, tort reform are Republican ideas
but the Democrats won’t do tort reform because they care more about
the trial lawyers than they do about the American people. Portability
doesn’t equal government run health care, so the Demo-commies won’t
go for that, either. It’s all about GOVERNMENT CONTROL OVER YOU!
That’s it.
