Obama: Government health care will be like, um, the post office

At the height of the healthcare debate, somehow Hillary ended up in the Congo.

Does the right hand know what the left hand’s doing?

Obviously.

The private sector insurance carriers don’t have to worry about competition from HitlerCare because, after all, UPS and USPS are still around despite competition from USPS. Why? Because the USPS is obviously too inept to compete, according to Hussein’s “reasoning.” (He just lost the postal worker vote!)

But USPS would have gone the way of the buggy whip had there been no law forbidding private companies from delivering the mail. That should be clear to Odouche, but he’s too stupid to realize the upshot of his own analogy.

More forgotten favorites, while we’re on the topic of Obooba’s cerebral wattage:

Obooba: What they’ll say is, “Well it costs too much money,” but you know what? It would cost, about… It — it — it would cost about the same as what we would spend… It… Over the course of 10 years it would cost what it would costs us… (nervous laugh) All right. Okay. We’re going to… It… It would cost us about the same as it would cost for about — hold on one second. I can’t hear myself. But I’m glad you’re fired up, though. I’m glad. Everybody knows that it makes no sense that you send a kid to the emergency room for a treatable illness like asthma, they end up taking up a hospital bed, it costs, when, if you, they just gave, you gave them treatment early and they got some treatment, and a, a breathalyzer, or inhalator, not a breathalyzer. (crowd laughing) I haven’t had much sleep in the last 48 hours. [end]

“It is wonderful to be back in Oregon,” Obama said. “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go. Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go to even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it.”

At a later stop Obama was talking with reporters and expressed concern he’d also mis-stated the number of potential cyclone victims in Burma. He said, “”I hope I said 100,000 people the first time instead of 100 million. I understand I said there were 57 states today. It’s a sign that my numeracy is getting a little, uh.” At that point, an aide cut him off and ushered journalists out. Before he could mis-speak again?) [end]

“There was a tragedy in Kansas,” said Obama Monday. “Ten thousand people died – an entire town destroyed. Turns out that the National Guard in Kansas only had 40 percent of its equipment,” he said [meaning that it's equipment was fighting Bush's war], “and they are having to slow down the recovery process.” [end]

Leader of the Free World.
