Bingo! "So let me be clear" *is* in tonight's speech
SoFiMil (Diary) Wednesday, July 22nd at 7:06PM EST (link)Just heard part of the advance copy of the speech on Mark Levin.
“So Let me be clear: This isn’t about me….”
This was the first quote Levin read. I laughed thinking it was satire. He then read another excerpt and I realized he’s actually going to say it. It’s not just the “Let me be clear” portion of the sentence that is hillarious, but also: “This isn’t about me.” This perception must be sinking in with others if it has to be countered. It also has to be countered because it’s true. False humility and projection are certainly also evident.
Sorry about the source. I couldn’t find a transcript anywhere else.

When Zer∅ utters his first cliche, the row is determined. When he utters his second cliche, the column is determined, and we have a winner. If he repeats the same cliche twice in a row, the winner would fall on the diagonal.
Rhetorical shift
2012redallover Wednesday, July 22nd at 6:12PM EST (link)An email sent earlier today from Obama repeatedly referenced “health insurance reform.” Previously, everyone had been referring to “healthcare reform.” I think this is an Obama trick to try to focus on demonizing the insurance companies- based on poll and focus group data showing that even though people are pleased with their healthcare in general, they still do not like the insurance companies. Also, they have come up with a new plan, resurrected from the 90′s, to tax the insurance companies rather than the millionaires, small businesses and health benefits.
Nice try, but I think that people are smarter than that. Add “health insurance reform” to the BINGO game and press conference vodka shot game and wait for it…

Choices? My doctor once told the insurer my employer provided to take a hike. I’d have to pay my doctor his rate, and then eat the discount myself.
Which certainly sent a market signal. How is a doctor going to send that signal to a predatory price-engaging single payer once the monopoly practices have wiped out the free market?

Breaking into the WH "joke" was rehearsed
SoFiMil (Diary) Wednesday, July 22nd at 11:54PM EST (link)I watched the video of Obama making the joke about breaking into his own house and suddenly realizing he lived in the White House. It looked a little to rushed as he pretended to stick his hand into his pocket then motioned with his thumb behind him–before giving the punch line. The timing was a little off. I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with anticipating and practicing answers to questions beforehand. But it was seemed rehearsed, and not off the cuff.

On the other hand, the other day there was a question from a liberal blogger about the article in Investors Business Daily regarding Section 102 of H.R. 3200 that the President of the United States claimed to know nothing about: “Is this true? Will people be able to keep their insurance and will insurers be able to write new policies?”
Of course he was briefed on the article. To say he knew nothing of the article is a complete lie.

“The press is so powerful in its image-making role that it can make a criminal look like he’s the victim and make the victim look like he’s the criminal.
