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

Obama is babbling. He doesn’t even know what he is saying. He got part way through some explanation of cutting costs and said something about hidden costs in insurance for uninsured, but if we insure them, we wouldn’t need any more hidden charges for uninsured. I thought the press would laugh out loud.

It was obvious that Obama realized that he wasn’t making any sense.

[ShandaLear]

It doesn’t happen. Every doctor is more than willing to send patient records to any specialist who needs them. He doesn’t know what the hell he is talking about and is making up the rest.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

Here comes the Bush inheritance....!

american had lost trillions!

(so we are spending more trillions and THAt is his answer to deficits)

[hsalaw]

Now he's trying to explain the porkulus bill - Americans had lost trillions of dollars when he was sworn in, so he felt it was important to have a recovery plan that would cost Americans a gazillion dollars!!

[EGPWS]

Inherited a deficit....

IF I HEAR THAT ONE MORE TIME.....

[MarMema]

Or a bottle of sedatives.

[hoosiermama]

If there’s a blue pill and a red pill....

Be more discrimating consumers....

American people are queasy.....

bank bail out. etc etc....

GOvernment spending ... used to keep from dealing with health care......

DEFICIT THAT WE INHERITED...

HE is just throwing lines out connected to nothing

I want the read AND the blue pill......

[Spunky]

Here we go again. "When I came in we had a 1.3 trillion deficit etc; etc; etc;

Hey Barack Hussien Obama, how much more is the deficit now that you have been in only 7 months?

[Dinah Lord]

Let me be clear - 4 times so far

[tet68]

So terminally ill patients will get what?

Free cremation?

[TFine80]

The question was about rationing, and now he’s blaming Bush again for TARP?

[Shortstop7]

I truly think he is becoming unhinged.......the Press looks to me like they know it too.

[freespirited]

“If there’s a blue pill and a red pill and the blue pill costs half as much but works just as well,” Americans will have to take the blue pill.

What a dumb thing to say. He doesn’t get that just because the blue pill may *generally* work as well as the red, some individuals will get a better response with the red and will be screwed if the govt mandates coverage only for the blue.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Does Chemotherapy count since most often the patient still dies?

Nope. It won't work . . . and we're now "discriminating consumers".

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

“Debt and deficit are deep concerns of mine.”

[Toespi]

Smoke and mirrors.

[kempo]

All those test that are run are to protect the Doctors ass from slip and fall lawyers.

[Tennessee Nana]

7.1 is still more than we had under Bush, dumbie

[vox_freedom]

LOLOL

[Eva]

Hey,I don’t feel like he is answering anything. I think that he is making a fool of himself.
