Love your sign!
From the Tweet thread...
Following the mad recommendations of Peter Singer made in NYT’s Sunday magazine, it pays to take a look at what is actually in the healthcare bill.
It’s worse than you can possibly imagine. Somehow, it manages to be Singer on steroids. Who wrote this bill. It has Singer’s footprints all over it.

Oh how nice. The government is GIVING me options. Options I already have. oh wait, that must mean they are taking them away from me first in order to give them back to me.
Your maximum time left as president is 7.5 years. Are you staying longer?
This alone will be worth a lot of popcorn from my view. Just incredible to consider how this could go.
I could be wrong but I don’t see how this is going to be a win for Obammy either way. The 1018 page bill is a disaster, both in terms of its contents as well as cost. People will hate his guts even more than they do now if it passes. And if it doesn’t pass it will look bad on him from a Democrap perspective. The Messiah didn’t get what he’s been campaigning for. I think he’s dug himself a mighty big hole. Either way he is going to lose.
Pass the popcorn.
Like the Kenyan, I haven’t read the bill. But I believe this POS doesn’t kick in until 2013 or so. They get to brag about passing something “comprehensive” but folks won’t notice the harm until after the 2010 election cycle.
I think the economy is going to bury this socialist and his enablers in congress in 2010 - not ObamaCare.
So speaketh the king. He’ll never live this one down!
(Re "This isn't about me. I've got great insurance and so do all members of Congress.") He actually said it! I couldn't believe it. Its like saying, "I've got mine, little poeple. I'm doing this for you plebes."
Levin is carrying the dog&pony show and commenting as he goes;Odinga was asked the first question I left the room to take an Obama and get a snack.I came back and he’s still answering the first friggin question!
I heard:
-Bush’s fault
-We need to do this
-countless lies and distortions
can’t wait!
