I can’t take this guy anymore.

Just hearing Obama stutter his way through his lies and misinformation infuriates me to no end.

SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP ALREADY!

No. I think it was the middle of the night when you had this thought, and you were confused. Rahm Emanuel is evil. Very.

See only one bright light for Government Run Healthcare.
The anti-abortion cause:
By the time it will take to make it through all the government “hoops” required to obtain permission to have an abortion, the child will probably be in college.

time to stop blaming bush, the stimulus package was his brain child and it is failing. Are we then going to blame bush for healthcare. He needs to blame the Kennedy Kassebaum bill, that ruined medicare.

They never fixed the banks and their lending, so why would anyone believe they can fix a hospital.

Not to worry about the cost. Obama etal will play a shell game with funding. Many, many cuts to defense, medicare, etc to pay for fiasco.

Glad Obama saved the economy.

Thanks. I hope Rush L understands the trouble that’s been brewing the last couple of years. He’s denied anything like this was ever going to happen, only now is he opening to the reality of what’s about to occur. He’s been very misleading on this. Glenn’s been the only realist on this issue.

Again, I must stress, this is a manufactured depression. This is what central banks do. Yes, a memo does go out to all the members of the banking mafia about when to stop lending, and when to recall loans, etc. This creates a shortage of credit and it’s consequent effects.

There is a memo that’s a matter of Congressional record, a pol read it to enter it into the record, and the memo is clear as to the bankers intent. It’s old, early 20th century, but the banks consistently do this throughout the world. It’s how they consolidate real assets. The love of money. I’m going to try and find that memo. I’m pissed I didn’t save it to file.

Empty suit with pretty words.
He speaks of leadership and does not even know what it is.
He should have, at least, managed a dry cleaning store, for a month or so before going on to become POTUS.
I’m in awe of the stupidity of the millions in this country who look for a rock star, when we need leadership.

This reminds me of a famous Reagan quote:

it’s Big Government’s opportunity to convince the nation that they can run a health care system efficiently and effectively.

It must be tough working for the filthy liar and having to come on television after a trainwreck of a press conference and proclaim that the filthy liar hit it out of the ballpark when the reality is that he struck out.

Demand that the Govt. fix medicare, medicaid, and the VA HEALTH CARE SYSTEM first!

JohnD9207 on July 22, 2009 at 11:00 PM

Good point. Taking great care of our seniors and our veterans should be a national priority. Plus, it’s Big Government’s opportunity to convince the nation that they can run a health care system efficiently and effectively.

Good Lord! Even his bestest buddies at MSNBC realize how badly Obama blew it last night. If this is the kindest treatment he's going to get, he just managed to put drive a stake in the heart of healthcare reform. Of course, Dracula always seemed to come back from that; so will this monster.

I don’t know how anyone who cares at all for individual liberty could defend a massive government program that is not designed to fix health care problems but designed to filch more power and control to an already too powerful central government.

I believe the bill in congress has more words than the old and new testaments of the Bible.

Those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. (Benjamin Franklin)
