Pelosi: ObamaCare is our Christmas present to America

posted at 7:06 pm on November 11, 2009 by Allahpundit

Via Greg Hengler, this is like “borrowing” a friend’s credit card, buying a car with it, then presenting them with the car on Christmas morning as their “gift.” Nor is it the first time that a prominent Democrat’s imagined your tax dollars as her personal Christmas club account: Remember Hillary’s disgusting holiday ad during the Democratic primaries?

Where do we go to return our “gift,” incidentally? From the new AP poll:

ap-hc

Support is down to 41.8 percent in Mark Blumenthal’s poll of polls, too. Follow the link and check out how Obama’s “bent the curve.” Hey Nancy — guess what you’re getting for Christmas next year.

So what’s the return policy?

Hesiodos on November 11, 2009 at 7:07 PM

Can we return it on December 26th?

Where is that damned receipt?

portlandon on November 11, 2009 at 7:07 PM

Can I get some coal, instead?

Oh wait…after cap and trade, you won’t even be able to get THAT in your stocking.

MadisonConservative on November 11, 2009 at 7:07 PM

I don’t want it.

nickj116 on November 11, 2009 at 7:07 PM

I’ll need an itemized receipt, you freakin’ btch.

SouthernGent on November 11, 2009 at 7:08 PM

I think I would rather have a lump of coal in my stocking.

texasconserv on November 11, 2009 at 7:08 PM

Return policy for Pelosi’s “present” is pay a big fine and possibly go to jail for returning it.

JaqobJackson on November 11, 2009 at 7:08 PM

Hey, AP!

Do Atheists get Christmas presents?

I’m having a grass is greener moment…

trubble on November 11, 2009 at 7:09 PM

Jesus….this woman couldn’t be any stupider if her head fell off.

Wow….

BigWyo on November 11, 2009 at 7:09 PM

Lump of coal, but there are no permits.

clorensen on November 11, 2009 at 7:09 PM

Cool. One of those Christmas presents that I have to pay for, and that will kill my folks.

I always like those best, Nancy.

Pavel on November 11, 2009 at 7:09 PM

Christmas present

Hey , where’s the diversity.

the_nile on November 11, 2009 at 7:09 PM

my Christmas present for Nazi Pelosi is to beat her with an ugly stick….oh yeah, someone beat me to it already!!

SDarchitect on November 11, 2009 at 7:10 PM

My God.

Can I get some coal, instead?

No. Cap-n-Trade will make sure coal is illegal and possessing it will result in a $1 billion dollar fine and a 100 year jail term….

JoeinTX on November 11, 2009 at 7:10 PM

Can I wrap a turd and put it on her doorstep as my gift to her?
It’s pretty much the same thing, after all.

NTWR on November 11, 2009 at 7:10 PM

“You’re a mean one, Mrs. Grinch.”

BuckeyeSam on November 11, 2009 at 7:10 PM

I already gave my list to santa and this bullsh*t was not on it.

SHARPTOOTH on November 11, 2009 at 7:11 PM

Pelosi: ObamaCare is our Christmas present to America

I’m offended. She should have said Holiday present!

Where’s the ACLU!

Enoxo on November 11, 2009 at 7:11 PM

This will please Jewish-Americans I’m sure.

fogw on November 11, 2009 at 7:11 PM

ASHEVILLE — To all who would cast U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as political villain, Heath Shuler had this to say: “She’s the most misunderstood person in Washington.”

Shuler, a Waynesville Democrat who represents Western North Carolina, made the remark this morning while talking with about 165 upper school students at Carolina Day School as part of the school’s Wednesday Forum Series.

Along with questions about health care reform and cap-and-trade legislation, students wanted to know what Pelosi is like as a person.

“She’s very misunderstood,” the congressman said. “She’s a devout Catholic. Don’t get in a Bible discussion with her.”

He told students about a meeting he had with Pelosi during his first term when he told her never to ask him to vote against his constituency.

“She’s held true to that promise,” he said.

He also recalled a time when his daughter, Island, was a baby and started crying on the floor of the House.

“She (Pelosi) raced down, picked her up and took her to her mother Nikol,” he told the students. “Her grandma instincts kicked in.”

biggiovernment.

Yes, those “devout Catholics” like Nan just love kids. Once the kids are out in the world and not just partially born, or prior to that. Unborn kids….

Via Greg Hengler, this is like “borrowing” a friend’s credit card, buying a car with it, then presenting them with the car on Christmas morning as their “gift.”

I think less polite but more accurate analogy would be if somebody ‘borrowed’ all of your credit cards, access to your bank account and took out a second mortgage on your house to buy the worlds biggest flaming bag of sh*t and gave it to you for Christmas…oh, and they ‘pocketed’ about half of the money for themselves and their friends.

AUINSC on November 11, 2009 at 7:11 PM

Now I’m pissed, Pelosi being the liberal that she is misspoke. This was our Holiday present. How dare she exclude Jewish, Hindu’s, Muslim, Wicca and Atheists.

cmptrnerd on November 11, 2009 at 7:11 PM

What an imbecile…!

d1carter on November 11, 2009 at 7:12 PM

So why does it seem like it’s Halloween?

TheQuestion on November 11, 2009 at 7:12 PM

Um. Thanks?

lorien1973 on November 11, 2009 at 7:12 PM

I would rather have a bag of switches and rotten fruit.

Dire Straits on November 11, 2009 at 7:12 PM

Oh Boy! Government Run Health Care!

Death Panels! Rationing! Waiting Lines! Individual Mandates!

And it even comes with BATTERIES!!

Thanks Mom!

… that’s the problem I have with this – Nancy Pelosi isn’t my farkin mom and I don’t want any of her presents.

HondaV65 on November 11, 2009 at 7:13 PM

Christmas present? Pelosi wants to steal our money and our liberty and that’s A FRIGGIN’ CHRISTMAS PRESENT??? Pelosi, I got a Christmas present for you. Excuse me while I rip off your head to give it to you.

BottomLine5 on November 11, 2009 at 7:13 PM

I am totally offended! Since when can we use the word CHRISTMAS?

Vigilante on November 11, 2009 at 7:13 PM

More like the Grinch (Grinchette?) Who Stole Christmas…

KellyBomelly on November 11, 2009 at 7:14 PM

I’m sure someone already said this but, I’ll take a lump of coal over this mess.

vcferlita on November 11, 2009 at 7:14 PM

Is this anything like Festivus at the Costanzas’ home?

Can we re-gift this to the Iranians or Al-Quaeda?

BuckeyeSam on November 11, 2009 at 7:15 PM

Baah Humbug

farright on November 11, 2009 at 7:15 PM

We bought you a present, that benefits others, and you get the pay for it.

It is like getting signed up for one of those 12 free DVD deals, but you only have to buy 6 more at “regular prices” except you do not get the 12 free DVD and when you buy the six more you do not get those either.

Thanks a lot for the Christmas gift Nancy. But I just became Jewish (of course that will not work either, Nancy will just change it to a Hannakah gift!).

Mr. Joe on November 11, 2009 at 7:15 PM

All I want for Christmas is Pelosi’s two front teeth.

This woman is walking the fine line between bat-guano stupid and bat-guano insane. Either way, she’s full of cr@p.

Left Coast Right Mind on November 11, 2009 at 7:15 PM

Whoops, she said “Christmas”.

yogi41 on November 11, 2009 at 7:15 PM

Nancy O Nancy

Ho Ho Ho

macncheez on November 11, 2009 at 7:16 PM

Pelosi is a crazy Christianist. How can Democrats allow their party to get hijacked in this manner?

BuckeyeSam on November 11, 2009 at 7:16 PM

Gee… thanks, Aunt Nancy. Were the stores all out of socks & underwear?

DamnCat on November 11, 2009 at 7:16 PM

To celebrate the birth of Jesus, the democrats offer slavery and cradle to grave control.

daesleeper on November 11, 2009 at 7:16 PM

Via Greg Hengler, this is like “borrowing” a friend’s credit card, buying a car with it, then presenting them with the car on Christmas morning as their “gift.”

I disagree.

It’s more like borrowing a friend’s car, picking up some other friends and taking them to a party, then driving them home (because you think you’re the least drunk), and then while some of your passengers are having sex in the back seat and another is puking in the front seat, you run into a tree.

Then you give the car back to your (former) friend as his gift.

malclave on November 11, 2009 at 7:17 PM

What do we get for Ramadan, illegals being given citizenship?

Bishop on November 11, 2009 at 7:18 PM

i read on another blog that the HC bill might be debated or voted on in Senate on Monday? does anyone know if this is true?

dammit, I am soooo tired of this. and piss off. I may have to go to DC.

kelley in virginia on November 11, 2009 at 7:19 PM

So the government’s Christmas gift to my family will cost us 625.00 a month? Wow, the gift that keeps on giving. s/

Wethal on November 11, 2009 at 7:11 PM

I would personally love to get in a Bible discussion with Nancy Pelosi.

I think I’d start with the verse from Isaiah that says “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil”.

INC on November 11, 2009 at 7:20 PM

She’s not stupid, and her head won’t fall off. She’s a radical leftist who’s determined to ‘transform’ this nation into the sick vision she shares with other radical leftists.

The only way to stop them is to vote them out of office next year. If that doesn’t work, we need a Night of the Long Knives.

Pelosi can be Ernst Rohm himself….

Janos Hunyadi on November 11, 2009 at 7:21 PM

Hey, AP!

Do Atheists get Christmas presents?

I’m having a grass is greener moment…

trubble on November 11, 2009 at 7:09 PM

The Christmas present Atheists get is a couple days off work at the end of the year. But do we get a thank you note? Nope. We get rediculed for the other 363 days.

uknowmorethanme on November 11, 2009 at 7:21 PM

This is a lot like a rapist thanking you for having sex with him, isn’t it?

lorien1973 on November 11, 2009 at 7:21 PM

Aw, you shouldn’t have. No. Really.

Ordinary1 on November 11, 2009 at 7:22 PM

Take your coal and shove it.

portlandon on November 11, 2009 at 7:21 PM

No one messes with Joe!

lorien1973 on November 11, 2009 at 7:22 PM

So she calls this a Christmas present. I guess that means only Christians will receive this gem. As usual, the only religion you can abuse are Christians.

dirtseller on November 11, 2009 at 7:22 PM

This begs for a photo shop or political cartoon.

I would rather find a dog turd in my stocking Christmas morning.

rbj on November 11, 2009 at 7:23 PM

Send it back!!! Re-gift it!!

becki51758 on November 11, 2009 at 7:24 PM

But I was good this year. Why me (and the rest of America)?

shooten on November 11, 2009 at 7:24 PM

Return policy for Pelosi’s “present” is pay a big fine and possibly go to jail for returning it.

Careful…that suggestion may blow up in your face.

SouthernGent on November 11, 2009 at 7:27 PM

Hey I was picking up a package at my apartment complex’s office and I talked to a young female intern.

I told her: You for Obamacare?

She: Nope

And you could see her body language go into a half-revulsion mode.

Not all the young are stupid and self-indulgent.

I’d rather get a kiss from Bill Clinton.

This women does not know what planet she,s on.She lives in a San Francisco dream world.I don,t know but maybe she had one too many face lifts.The scary thing is she thinks most people love her and think she,s the smartest person in the world and to think she,s third in line for the president.Maybe this is a bad dream wake me when it,s over.Never mind i just pinch myself it,e real alright.God save us.

thmcbb on November 11, 2009 at 7:30 PM

This woman HATES the thought of any politician leaving the DC swamp and getting a good earful at home. Of course, pass it before Christmas.

gophergirl on November 11, 2009 at 7:31 PM

She’s so thoughtful, shopping so far ahead of the crowds. Oh, wait, did she have to wade through all those awful, dastardly, nazi teabaggers on the Mall to get to the “store” in the Capitol? My bad.

Thanks Nancy. Please submit your wish list to me. I’ll certainly feel obliged to match your gift in both monetary value and thoughtfulness. Wow, this is a quandary. Perhaps the American population will chip in with me and we can get you a first class seat on a rocket to the Andromeda galaxy. That should give you plenty of time to re-read the PelosiCare Bill, Cap’N Tax, and the next Porkulous spending bill.

Oh, and a partridge in a pear tree.

Robert17 on November 11, 2009 at 7:32 PM

Yeah–Pelosicare is the same kind of gift that the liberal simplesimon gave me 2 minutes ago railing against my ailing invalid mom.

So much for liberal ‘compassion’.

simon is like Pelosi, Reid, Obama, Blue Fins, crr6, and all the other trolls who waste our time here, those libs who spew only hate.

I would rather be hanged than ‘enjoy’ more of liberal ‘caring’.

Liam on November 11, 2009 at 7:32 PM

i want more money back from the government so I can buy my own Christmas present thank you very much! I already have great health care!!!

FIFY

Archimedes on November 11, 2009 at 7:40 PM

I just sent the following email to my Representative. A meaningless gesture, since she’s an obedient little liberal in a gerrymandered district, and so more beholden to Pelosi than to her constituents. It made me feel marginally better, though:

I understand that Speaker Pelosi has stated that initiating the government takeover of the healthcare sector of the U.S. economy is the Democrats’ Christmas gift to… well, I guess to your special interest groups.

I am choosing to not celebrate Christmas this year, so unless Congress is planning to force a religious observance on me in violation of my First Amendment rights, please cancle my part of your takeover.

Happy Festivus.

malclave on November 11, 2009 at 7:40 PM

Pelosi’s sick, sick, sick.

rplat on November 11, 2009 at 7:41 PM

I met another Canadian today with the same disease as me. She can’t get care in Canada. She’s trying to come to the US for care. What will Pelosi get her for a gift?

boomer on November 11, 2009 at 7:41 PM

I would like to return it too. If not I’d like to regift it and give it to all the congressmen and senator that voted for this pile of crap.

Brat4life on November 11, 2009 at 7:43 PM

So if this is a Christmas present can we get the entire bill thrown out due to “separation of church and state” issues the left always cries about?

clement on November 11, 2009 at 7:44 PM

It’s like the pink bunny pajamas in A Christmas Story — you don’t want it, but can’t return it and have to wear it.
