WHO is that trained seal clapping behind the president

I think that those 2 clowns...

were booked for the speech to the schoolchildren, but there was some sort of a scheduling error.

 
 

What's up with Pelosi's little "prayer-bow?"

Did I see that correctly?

That these clowns on that dais are running our country speaks to how much trouble we are in.

Yikes.

But how to transition from ‘spending out of control’ to ‘spend more on something that isn’t critical.’

Shouldn’t Dingle’s failure tell them something? Like, it isn’t the right thing to do?

…It was a crappy bill in 1943, and it’s a crappy bill now. And at no time has the majority been in favor of trashing our medical system.

But because an insurance company somewhere screwed over a client in Texas, we have to toss the whole system.

If you can’t dislike this guy, you are simply not a patriotic, freedom-loving American. You’re more like a Thomas Friedman who pines for tyranny.

As the Missus and I discussed this morning,

he’ll just lie about anything that doesn’t work for him. Nobody holds him to the truth or the possible, ever.

Economic facts be damned.

he's just recycling the same lies

clowngirl (Diary) Wednesday, September 9th at 8:51PM EST (link)

And calling his opponents liars. He didn’t even deal with Sarah Palin’s “death panel” remarks – which cut right to the heart of the issue just makes a flat assertion ” this is a lie”

The lies are getting increasingly over the top:

He wants to work with Republicans??

He’ll make sure no bureaucrat gets between us and our health care?

He won’t sign a plan that adds a dime to the deficit??

He’s so COMPLETELY full of it it’s really hard to believe.

When someone tells you everything you want to hear, do you believe that person?

I mean everyone is going to get better coverage.

Those without coverage will get it.

Costs won’t go up.

Huh?

I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe if they want to believe it bad enough. nt

The necessary details:

Flagstaff (Diary) Wednesday, September 9th at 8:34PM EST (link)

* Nothing will require you to change coverage. NOT TRUE FOR HR 3200.

* Must cover pre-existing condition. MEANS WE ALL WILL PAY MORE FOR THOSE WHO WAIT UNTIL THEY HAVE SYMPTOMS.

* Can’t place a cap on coverage. THAT MEANS MEDICARE WILL HAVE TO BE EXPANDED.

* Required to cover at “no extra charge” for colonoscopies, etc. SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

* Get coverage from our insurance exchange. YOU WON’T NEED ANY OTHER CHOICE.

* Tax credits for you if you are poor. OR WE’LL GIVE IT AWAY.

etc. etc. etc.

I’m still at work… watching on both CNBC and this webcast. The two “live” casts are out of synch. Amazingly, the webcast is ahead of CNBC.

CNBC must have a time delay in case he deviates from TOTUS and the record needs to be corrected.

If you have to change your current doctor because of ObamaCare

If ObamaCare funds a abortion not due to rape, incest, or life of the mother

If ObamaCare funds illegal aliens

If ObamaCare leads to rationing of health care

If quality healthcare falls because of ObamaCare

nothing will require change

Steven Willis (Diary) Wednesday, September 9th at 8:39PM EST (link)

but it will make my current coverage more expensive and will force me to subsidize others

plus it will provide subsidized care for millions (at my expense) and it will thus undercut existing policies. I will not be required to change, but the government will price my insurer and employer out of the market.

Plus BO will decide what is appropriate care – colonoscopy and mammograms and exactly what else? How about the full list, not just the non-controversial ones.

About not covering illegal aliens, instead of leaving to interpretation to a court, that will rule otherwise.

Government care has no subsidy

Except we will subsidize the premiums.

No property taxes.

No income tax on the company.

No sales taxes.

Probably either immunity or other protection from lawsuits, or subsidized protection.

No cost of capital because the government will provide it.

No need for profits.

This will put for-profits out of business. Then we will have single payer. That is his plan.

The 'health care crisis' was a campaign

creation. An issue he could promise the moon on. He never has a clue as to exactly how to do the things he promises.

Nobody went into 2008 begging for “More Government in Health Care! Now!”

The cost will actually be a lot higher than advertised. If they really can wring more tax revenues out of the economy to pay for part of the bill, that revenue could (and should) be used to pay down the deficit/national debt instead.

WOW! So, since we feel sorry for the Kennedy’s, we should pass a bill that kills more americans sooner?Nice memorial to Teddy! IF he can’t live no one can! Kinda low using a man’s death to pass your agenda.

John McCain's take:

Flagstaff (Diary) Wednesday, September 9th at 9:35PM EST (link)

Eloquent. More partisan than expected (LOL).

Points out the lie that “you won’t lose your policy.”

“Public option” will destroy private insurance.

There will be excessive costs with no way to pay for it, adding to the $9 trillion deficit in coming years.

Obama’s slam at Palin was unnecessary and contributed nothing to a bipartisan effort.

She got a mention in the WH Talking Points. She went from being ignored, mocked & slandered to framing the debate. A major win for her, I think. She stole the debate with “Death Panels” a few weeks ago and the WH can’t let it go. They are shooting themselves in the foot by keeping the issue out front.

I don’t think that she is, necessarily, the best person to have out in front on this. I just love that she is in his fort, killing his bill.
