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

[hsalaw]

Now he’s claiming the “public option” will “pretty much” match up with the congressional plan. BWAHAHAHA! Liar. I’m surprise his pants don’t burst into flame.

[NRA2BFree]

HE IS RAMBLING!

I know. When he gets to the end of this conference, I'm going to be scratching my head going "huh, what the heck did he say." LOL

[musicman]

Question you can’t blame Republicans when you have a supermajority.

[STARWISE]

Mr. President, when your Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, left public service for a spell to work for a Wall Street firm, he made over $16M in about two years.

What's your take on that ?

[Red_Devil 232]

Great question Will the Gov. get involved between a doctor and paitent? He won’t answer it!

[GOPrincess]

Amazing question from Cleveland Plain Dealer asking Obama to pledge government will never get involved in health care decisions and to pledge that the President and Congress will use the public option.

Obama doesn’t seem to be answering (no surprise)...

Here comes the competition!
Regulated the ins companies....bye bye US healthcare.

[Spunky]

Yea! It was just asked if he would give up his health plan?

Of course he is beating around the bush.

[KansasGirl]

Thanks.

[ladyvet]

He doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about.

I have no idea what he's talking about.

[maggief]

[KJC1]

Oh this is getting even better. Question about will the Gov’t deny any services, and if Obama himself will use the same plan he wants for the public. Cleveland Plain Dealer reporter asked the Q.

Obama dodging, as expected.

[TexasNative2000]

He has reverted to auto-pilot. He’s channeling Rev. Wright, Alinsky, Ayers, ACORN.....

[Robwin]

Will he and the Congress enroll in the program? Answer the damn question. What goobledygook.

[MarMema]

No he is completely NOT replying to the excellent question about himself and congress using the same healthcare as the rest of us and about what will be denied.

He is full of crap and BSing all the way on this one.

[al baby]

I think he has vitaligo lets send him to Dr. Klien

[LukeL]

That is true also, I have a bone tumor disorder (benign) but to diagnose it correctly (hasn’t been yet) they need to do biopsies, x-rays, bone scans, MRIs, patient history and even expensive genetic testing and even then it may not be clear. How could you justify spending $20,000+ to diagnose a condition that won’t shorten a persons life, but only make it somewhat more difficult?
