I don’t understand why media still covers for Obama. Gibbs treats reports with serious disdain. The one who was on Megan Kelly’s show and kept accusing her of misleading viewers is even worse. If I were the media, I would be sick of the way these people talk to me by now.

Gibbs is the most incompetent, dishonest, arrogant crap-weasel press secretary evah. Perfect fit for the Obambi administration.

Gibbs gotta go. He can not even lie for the President that makes the President look good.

He’s turned on the most reliable segment of his base over this issue. How long before the MSM figures out that Obama will do this to them whenever it suits his needs.

The Obama-fellating, state-run media may have already figured that out and it doesn’t matter. He is their pet and should he turn and bite their hand someday, they will just assume they had touched a sensitive spot and resolve not to do that again. IMHO they will never abandon “The One”.

(with apologies to the movie Serenity)
Rahm Emanuel: Do you know what your sin is Gibbs?
Gibbs: Well, I uh…
Rahm Emanuel: You’re a dumbass!
Emanuel: You know, in certain older civilized cultures, when men failed as entirely as you have, they would throw themselves on their swords.
Gibbs: Well, unfortunately, I forgot to bring a sword.
Gibbs: [as Rahm Emanuel pulls out his sword] I would put that down right now if I were you.
Emanuel: Would you be killed in your sleep, like an ailing pet? You know this is the Chicago Way!
Emanuel: [watching Gibbs slowly sink on to the sword he holds] There is no shame in this Gibbs. Obama and I are building a better world. You must take the fall so the Messiah will survive. Besides I just like sticking knives in things.

The best way to reduce health care cost and it would happen almost immediately is for the government to get out of the health care arena ENTIRELY.

Is it just me, or is Gibbs starting to look like a Conehead? Although even they weren’t this robotic and contemptuous of mere humans.

More like Tom Arnold with a migraine. That also could explain all those posts on Rosanne’s website.

Start calling it ‘The Government Option’ or ‘The People’s Option’

How many insurance companies are there? Obama is not talking about competition with Health Care Companies. He’s not even talking about competition with Health Care Options . . .

Obama wants competition with Capitalism. His competition is with Socialism and Fiscal Fascism.

- The Cat

P.S. I think using the term ‘fiscal fascism’ kills the argument about the genocidal/racial supremacy aspect of what the Nazi Party did. Just like there is Fiscal Conservatism and Social Conservatism there is Fiscal and Social Fascism.

Rush should pick this up :)

Ya know, I’m starting to like Helen Thomas, at least insofar as she really knows how to get under the skin of that little prick Gibbs and make his pansy ass squirm with annoyance. Hats off to you once again, Helen.

As Krauthammer said, this thing is a dead parrot.

They’re hurriedly moving the goalposts so Obama doesn’t come out the big loser. That should sit well with Congress.

The public option is just a little sliver of the plan! Hmmm I thought those were Obama’s words.

There’s a solid reason for the lefty left to oppose watered-down health care reform. The right legislation could end their dream of single-payer.

Imagine if all we pass is legislation that improves portability and lets insurance companies compete across state lines. That could be wildly successful, and make people a lot less likely to go for a government option.

hawksruleva on August 19, 2009 at 5:27 PM

WHAT???? You mean a plan that lets the individual decide what’s best for themselves, and their families? It would mean, making our own choices? We could get it at better costs, and probably better coverage?

I’m not so sure some of the kool aid drinkers are ready for that much responsibility. It seems to be Neverland perpetually, in their minds.
