We know the drill: Read the teleprompter for a few minutes, take questions from a few plants in audience, total of twelve or thirteen questions in an hour, filibuster, end to rave reviews from the state run media.

White House propaganda e-mail sent to NextGov.com

[Yankee]

Mark Lamont Hill is in love with himself.

And he’s deluded.

That pretty much describes every liberal I've ever encountered.

Anotherwords, “...take two aspirin and notify us when you pass away so we can take you off the plan.”

[khnyny]

O’Reilly is saying that 0’s speech tonight hurt his credibility and that this will affect the rest of his “agenda” and not just health care. I think he’s correctomundo.

[jennyjenny]

We need to flood all of them tomorrow with phone calls.

[dennisw]

Inneresting.....Gibbs seems pretty good at keeping the press at bay. He’s a buffoon. Maybe he hands out vodka nips to keep his press posse smiling

[PA Engineer]

The bottom line is, with an aging demographic, this “health care bill” will destroy the medical profession as we know it when we, as a country, need good medical care the most. Who in their right mind would go into the medical profession under this stupid a$$ plan?

My wife's patients (specialty) are generally older, "white" and suffer a chronic neurodegenerative disease. The seizure of health care by Obama has singled these patients out for a government run death sentence.

By the way, those evil drug companies give free medication to patients in the donut hole for many conditions. If they are under a certain income they get brand name medications for free from the drug companies. My wife fills out paperwork nonstop daily (for free) so they can benefit from these programs.

Barack Obama can go to hell for those comments.

[NormsRevenge]

Great! O’s agenda toast already and 3 and a half years worth of mindless Pressers and townhalls still lie ahead. :-}

[Dinah Lord]

No darn it! I missed the DEVIL reference (I was pretty focused on counting the “Let Me Be Clears” and the “I inherited ....[fill in the blank].” Oh and then it all got to me and I had to go get a glass of wine so I missed a chunk of it.

I did get his saying that ‘the stars are aligned’ for health care. IMO that was pretty goofy.

But I thought the speech gave off a very weird vibe though, too.

.

[jennyjenny]

And he’s dumb, too.

[McGruff]

That's racist!

[/sarc]

[PA Engineer]

and TARP money.

[Bahbah]

And I — speaking as an American....

Huh?

[hoosiermama]

Yes Were going to have to work like _____ to get conservative/GOP in office.

Milleris going to go off on the Boxer Alford incident.

Miller:
Most carthotic things in his life...Miller had Alford on his talk show today....Alford was there to talk cap and trade and she wants to go to “colored town”

[True Republican Patriot]

Controlling Health Costs!!:

NOBODY is saying “Nationalize the Law Profession!”
Give Patients the Option to Buy Health Insurance with No Right to Sue for Malpractice! I’ll take it! I am Alive because My Doctors Saved Me because They Did All They Knew How and GOD took Care of the rest! I Trust My Doctors! But they are paralyzed with the Fear of having thousands of Lawyers looking over their shoulders looking for their next Mansion:-(

[sissyjane]

JELLO - SHOTS!!!! For the press!!

[crunk]

Great line.....

Kathryn Lopez from National Review: I'm not sure why we had to have that press conference other than to annoy cops.

[Interesting Times]

I don't think he did himself any favors tonight. No one likes to be talked down or told they are racist!

It's the only thing he knows how to do.

[musicman]

Nah, he’s just including the Illegal Aliens who will ALSO get this “government plan”.

[PA Engineer]

All of the coverage problems can be traced back to the government medicine programs. This is just the last nail in the coffin of American Medicine and a crime against humanity.

[skippermd]

She is not alone. I am raving mad. You could pass this along to her, a text I received from a colleague:

“Dear Mr. Obama, Thanks for lecturing me that I only make decisions based on what I will be paid not whats best for my patient. Clearly you have practiced on a much higher moral playing field as an attorney. V/R.”
