President Obama: It's Getting Hot In Here

In this health care fiasco, they "forgot" to address tort reform, what a suprise coming from a bunch of damn lawyers. They also forgot to include themselves in the "plan" As long as they can keep us peons relatively healthy like a bunch of cattle to support their glorious regime, everything will be fine. The sheep follow blindly.

We have the highest health care cost in the world yet rank 30th in care and performance. Thousands upon thousands have to file bankruptcy due to medical costs. Many, many die because they cannot afford medical care.
We will no longer allow or tolerate big business, lobbyists, special interests and those who support them run our country and make crucial decisions for us. We will not accept their putting campaign funding, their personal needs or gains, etc above our welfare.

We desperately need true health care reform and public option. We must let all politicians know we will no longer accept politics as usual and will not stand by and let them continue to try to destroy America and us.

TRAFFIC COP TIMMY WROTE: "So applying your logic, if Obama says the Reverend Wright was his "spiritual mentor," we can assume they were pretty tight?

But then you've got that whole Bill Ayers was "just a guy in the neighborhood" thing. And they were obviously working together, then . . ."

RESPONSE: You can assume Wright and Obama were "pretty tight" in spiritual matters only. In contrast, you cannot reasonably assume that Obama and Ayers were "pretty tight."

Obama's book, itself, proves that Obama did not consider Davis to be a "wise and trusted counselor," which is the definition of "mentor." By what creative definition can Davis be considered his "mentor"?

Poser,

Why do you post that Obama was mentored by Frank Marshall Davis? Because conservative firebrand Cliff Kincaid said so? It appears that you swallow Kincaid's Konservative Kool-Aid propaganda regarding the Davis-Obama relationship. "Dreams From My Father" belies that claim.

Although Obama's book indicates "Frank" was a family friend who offered him advice on racial issues, Obama wrote that Davis "fell short" and his views were "incurable." Obama did not even visit Davis for three years before going to college. Obama's book, itself, proves that Obama did not consider Davis to be a "wise and trusted counselor," which is the definition of "mentor." By what creative definition can Davis be considered his "mentor"?

"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone. "It means just what I choose it to mean - neither more or less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master - that's all."

Although “I'm hardly interested in proving my research to Kincaid or any of those whose work is a travesty to scholarship," University of Kansas Professor Edgar Tidwell, whom AIM's Cliff Kincaid cites as "an expert on the life and writings of Davis," dismisses misrepresentation of Davis's influence in one simple paragraph:

"Although my research indicates that Davis joined the CPUSA as a "closet member" during World War II, there is no evidence that he was a Stalinist, or even a Party member before WWII. Further, to those attempting to make the specious stand for the concrete, there is no evidence that he instructed Barack Obama in communist ideology. Frank Marshall Davis did NOT believe in overthrowing the USA. He was committed to what the nation professed to be. For him, communism was primarily an intellectual vehicle to achieve a political end-a possible tool for gaining the constitutional freedoms of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for ALL Americans"

New Jersey is a microcosm of what this country will look like if Obama and the Democrats in Congress get their way. High taxes, run-away spending and a bloated patronage system that has run the State in to the ground financially. Corzine is a joke and Obama is his twin.

"Most said he throws like a girl. That's not true-they throw the ball way better."

Obama throws like a little boy who grew up without a father teaching him to play baseball. Instead of playing America's pastime, he was mentored in Marxist thought by activist/writer Frank Marshall Davis, which has served him much better than learning how to throw a baseball.

“We’ve made unprecedented progress in Congress, especially this week. But now is when it get really hard. Now is when we gotta get over the finish line,” Obama said. “This is when you start hearing same criticisms, the same scare tactics, and if you do hear these critics I want you to ask the question I always ask: what’s your plan. What’s your alternative?”

Mr. President,

What we want to see is your ACTUAL plan, NOT some 1000 pages of foolish BS guidlines that gets passed off as a healthcare plan.

You are avoiding the real problem that you chose to deal with. The more the American people see this thing, the more they realize its just BS, nothing more.

Come back to us when you have a plan implemented! EVERYTHING ELSE is just rhetoric, and is MEANINGLESS!

Obama has yet to do anything about what was wrong with the economy in the first place.

It's crisis after crisis with not a one to waste while he rahms one socialist program after another down our throats and does it with all haste as to prevent any sober analysis.

Jake, do you have any specific questions
for Gibbs in the next few pressers?
I'll leave it up to you....but Sotomayor
or Obama's garden shouldn't cut it.
Maybe something about Elmendorf knee-
capping the Prez....or Democrats leaving
the reservation on health care. You
might try some POINTED follow-ups....
I mean if Gibbsy is amenable.

That's exactly what he did at the All Star game. After his lengthy face time on the giant screen that we had to sit through, saying his usual, there wasn't enough time to honor 88 year old Stan Musial except for him to give Obama the ball so he could hit the ground with his pitch. The Musial family was not happy that his St. Louis legacy was cut out of the program. Obama uses everybody and everything in his never ending campaigning. Well, he was soundly booed in a well mannered town that even cheers opposing players for great plays or pitching. Most said he throws like a girl. That's not true-they throw the ball way better.

I commend Jake Tapper for asking questions tougher than most others at the White House pressers. There may be other tough questions to be asked, but are not called upon, stopped by the possible 'Press Corp Czar.'

Obama says 'inaction is not an option.' It is when he proposes a complete stripping down of the only health care system on this earth, that is worth a damn. He said he will not defend the status quo. Why can't he just be honest and come out and tell the American people that he despises the Constitution and our Independence, and all of the Founders that fought for it. We lost the Republic a long time ago, have held on to a democracy...and have accepted that. For me, I want a Republic back. But we are slipping into an oligarchy. This twisted man, raised on radical teachings that have destroyed every country they have come in contact with, is poising to strike a death blow to capitalism. And while we continue to stand on the edge of democracy, we now see ourselves falling over the cliff. If we can stop this man, let us please, push this democracy with all of our living might back to a republic, so we do not have to live on the edge of slavery under fascism.

I ask Mr. Tapper, whom I respect, to expose things as they are. I call out to him, as one of the last hopes of a state controlled media. You are one of the last real journalists...please, be a revolutionary American in media that stands up for what media was created for in the first place. To be a deterrent to the government, by unveiling corruption and control. Our last gasp as 'We the People' is the torch we ask you to bear, and expose this oligarchy control for what it is...We don't want to have another Revolution, but if no one will stand up for us even in the media, we will have to. And I think Americans know that now.

Jake, do you have any specific questions
for Gibbs in the next few pressers?
I'll leave it up to you....but Sotomayor
or Obama's garden shouldn't cut it.
Maybe something about Elmendorf knee-
capping the Prez....or Democrats leaving

So the dunce goes to a rally to help corzine get re-elected, then turns it into a rally about his own chowderheaded policies.

Nice team player there.

What a narcissistic twirp.

The influential American Medical Association Posted by: danita | Jul 16, 2009 11:11:55 PM

How influential is the AMA? Is the AMA representative of the practicing physicians. What's the percentage of total practicing physicians who belong to the AMA?

WASHINGTON - The influential American Medical Association on Thursday said it supported the healthcare overhaul legislation moving through committees in the Democratic-led House of Representatives and urged its approval.

"This legislation includes a broad range of provisions that are key to effective, comprehensive health system reform," AMA executive vice president Michael Maves wrote to the House committee leaders.

In particular, he said, the doctors' group backs the insurance market reforms that seek to expand healthcare coverage and the proposed health insurance exchange. In this exchange consumers would choose between private insurers and a public plan.

Just think of all who could be covered if the politicans were subjected to personal audits and actually FORCED to PAY THEIR TAXES!!! Democrat and Republican alike! Nahh! Better to let them keep their money and make the working poor pay for rationed medical care like in Canada. Question: When America rations medical care, WHERE will the Canadians go to get theirs??? Mexico!?!

Credit where credit is due: Thanks to ABC for pointing out Obama is continuing to spin half-truths. Posted by: tjp612 | Jul 16, 2009 9:12:23 PM

Yes. Agreed. Now get it off the blogs and onto the evening and morning news - lead story please. Charlie are you out there? Matt? Anyone?

Obama said. “This is when you start hearing same criticisms, the same scare tactics, and if you do hear these critics I want you to ask the question I always ask: what’s your plan. What’s your alternative?”
_____________________________________

Start hearing criticisms? Start? Oh that's right you've been out of town for a while - well, actually out of the country for most of the first "few months" (as some like to call the first 5 going on 6 months).

Scare tactics? You mean like we have to do something! Now! Now! In the next three weeks! Doing something is better than doing nothing! Those scare tactics?

What's your plan? You mean like you ever intended to hear from anyone with another plan? (We won. We write the bill.)

Martin Luther had to nail his plan to the doors of the church. Maybe the GOP should try that. Oh wait, the deeply religious President plays golf on Sundays. They'd probably have to nail the plan to the doors of the clubhouse.

it's interesting you'd say his old "stumping sensibilities," jake, because when i saw a clip of that rally earlier today that's exactly what i thought. boy, this guy is good at campaigning. it made me wistful for the old days, when candidate obama was on the trail and president obama was nowhere near the white house.
