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

LOL, sorry, I don't even know if that is the correct name for it!

But here is where I got the instructions:

Go down to; “How to Add Images to your Post”.

It looks nice on her, but probably very time consuming. I bet she uses a relaxer, but it looks shiny and healthy.

It is probably a wig. The VERY BEST WE CAN AFFORD.

[Bahbah]

Yes, I heard that.

I thought this was a disaster for him.

[PA Engineer]

he goes on and on about healthcare...but hasnt said WORD ONE about what costs the most PREScRIPTIONS!!!

Are you blaming the drug companies? The FDA regulations have inflated the costs to market for new drugs from 600 to 900 million dollars each! How many "red and blue" pills (he did mention drugs) do you think it takes to recoup the cost of investment?

Many drugs are never certified because of the FDA (many are life saving and orphaned) and the costs need to be recovered. I have posted a study many time here that proposes a combination of tort reform and privatization (UL is an example) to bring the cost of this process to under 10 million. The government is to blame again, not the "greedy" drug companies.

“he said jigger the lock how funny”

Hey now, let’s not be ‘niggardly’ ...

[NautiNurse]

Gibbs’ pressers are so bad, the cable news channels stopped covering them three months ago in a six month-old administration.

[dervish]

I hope the AMA is happy.

Obama just told the country he thinks doctors do unecessary operations on children for some extra money.

I don’t know why they even need doctors any more. They have their computer program telling them how to treat. The doctor is superfluous at best or corrupt.

[HollyB]

I’ll send you what I have FM

[yield 2 the right]

Hannity has a huge set of shoes to fill after the just ended O’Reilly Factor tonight....starting off with RNC Chair Michael Steele is risky to say the least, JMHO only.

[al baby]

That won’t last long most people have no idea what that word means I Hussein had to look it up

[Guenevere]

We need that made into bumper stickers!

[Never on my watch]

“...even though I don’t like this devil, at least I know it, and I like that more than the devil I don’t know.”

Depending on the context, that could be the only thing he said that was not a lie.

I wonder how many devils he knows? Maybe all of them...

[luvie]

Don’t tell me you are actually LISTENING to this lying piece of human debris???

EGAD!

LOL!

[Jersey Republican Biker Chick]

OK...what did I miss..I was watching “So You think you can Dance”.

[jaz.357]

Easy now Cambridge...

Help on the way!

[petercooper]

whenever anybody says “let me be honest with you...” they usually aren’t

or "now having said that"-- just filler fluff

[DrewsMum]

thanks!

[Guenevere]

20 years ago I was listening to pro-life lectures warning about the slippery slope of 1. abortion 2. infanticide 3.euthanasia....

..well...it's here and there's more to come.

[True Republican Patriot]

It would save Hundreds of Billions of dollars because Doctors are Forced to run Tests just to protect themselves, to be extremely cautiuos in all of their treatments, and to be terrified of every meeting they have with a patient. Today, every patient visit, every procedure, every move is subject to a Lawyer finding another 33% of potetial Million Dollar settlements. Doctors just wont practice Obstetrics anymore because of this and the Malpractice Insurance and more importantly the destruction of their Reputations and Entire Lives!

[dervish]

Obama just INSULTED every doctor in the country.
