[...] A couple weeks ago ABC held a healthcare “Town Hall” from the White House, which Right Blogistan derided as a prime time infomercial for President Obama’s healthcare policies. While it wasn’t quite that bad, it was, by any rational measure, a pulpit for the president rather than a serious attempt to wrestle with the pros and cons of socialized medicine. Most of the questions were softballs. The few that weren’t were by no stretch of the imagination hard-hitting. The president was permitted to caricature the arguments of opponents of his policies without addressing their strongest points. Little wonder that the special tanked in the ratings. [...]

Here's what you can expect under B. Hussien Obama's health care plan. Obama Says We Shouldn't Treat Old Folks to Save Money And the Media Goes Deaf

Obama offered a question on the efficacy of further care for his grandmother saying, "and the question was, does she get hip replacement surgery, even though she was fragile enough they were not sure how long she would last?"

This guys a piece of shit!

He’s toast. He is floundering. The American people are distracted, true, but they can and do multi-task, so don’t think that they didn’t notice the major Iran flounder that Obama did this past couple of weeks. He stunk up the place and everybody saw it. Health care–it’s all about sticker-shock. If they pass it while the American people aren’t looking, ooh-Lawdy, gonna be some serious a$$-whoopin coming. They’d better hope they don’t pass this health care bill, or this energy tax bill, because those will make everything so much worse by 2010, that the Dems will be looking for a place to hide. They will have vote amnesia that will rival their “authorization of the use of force” vote amnesia. I voted for it, before I voted against it, Kerry will be saying. Personally, I hope they don’t get health care, bc they could screw up private insurance for ever. Cap and trade will screw things up royally, but not irrevocably, at least.

I do not want any of these passed, but health care would ruin this country. We can repel, or undo the other stuff, but as Rush says health care might end this country as we know it. Despite the horrific impact on all of us, if one had to pass I guess I would pick Cap and Tax. It would be the easier one of the three to undo over time, and would have such an impact that people would finally wake up to the insanity that is this Administration. The way the Unions are taking over everything, we must not allow card check.

[...] much for the All Barack Channel ObamaCARE infomercial. According to The Live Feed, ABC’s ratings had the fewest viewers in the 10 p.m. hour. The special tied some 8 p.m. comedy repeats as the lowest-rated program on a major broadcast [...]

Just like the Clinton Administration,Team Obama has been
lucky enough,to of had a whole bunch of,’DISTRACTIONS’ to
keep most Americans,off of Obamas Agenda of Destroying
America!!:)

You’re right, of course, but remember; this administration also creates distractions (attacking Rush, etc..) along with their “flood the zone” offensive strategy. They’ve put so many things in play, all at once, that some of them have to get through.

So, do we get stuck with Cap and Trade, Stimulus II (or is it III,) Card Check, Health Care?

Which one gets through?

Not sure if you all remember but Transformers came out yesterday. The one cannot compete with transformers Optimus Prime is better than “the one” People were out during primetime showings of the greatest robot movie of the year (much better than terminator).
If you had the choice between Transformers or “the one” which would you watch Optimus Prime/Palin 2012

And what’s really sad is Obama will probably use Michael Jackson’s death as yet another opportunity to put his mug in front of a camera. ugh. ALL the media will want to know how he feels about it. All of them.

I had begun to worry that we might be experiencing the beginnings of a frequent Chavez-like television hour here in the US with our own dear leader….but with ratings like these, my fears have been allayed.

Regarding the infomercial, I hope this is a hint to Bozo that PEOPLE DO NOT WANT TO SEE YOU ON TV EVERY DAY. Problem is, Bozo is a narcassist so we will continue to see him every day until January 2013.
