Millions of grandmas who vote are NOT amused by the comic-in-chief.

Hey, he laughed at Special Olympics, too! And didn't he get off a(n unfunny) quip about unemployment a while back? He just has a charmingly quirky sense of humor! Or something like that . . . Pardon me for not laughing . . .

I don't care if you are critical of me or not ....
I have UGLY SUSPICIONS about Obam’s WHITE Granny. Weeks before the election we heard she was ill but NOT with a terminal or fatal illness. Next thing we see is a pile of attorneys go to her condo in Hawaii WITHOUT Michele and the kiddies. The nxt news we hear is Obama’s WHITE Granny, who raised him is DEAD. It wasn't until 2009 that he had time to pay his respects to her. Bowling and haircuts were more important than tucking Granny in the ground and paying his respects to her after he WON the election.
Now, if Obama treats his Granny like that, imagine what Obama will do for YOU and your Grandparents that he doesn't even know? Look at how his Aunt in Boston lives, ILLEGALLY in public housing and his half brother in Kenya in his snazzy mud shack. The only one Obama cares about is OBAMA.
Better yet - look at how Obama cares about infants about to be born. He voted FOR the DENIAL of medical attention by a baby that survived a botched abortion. This is how COLD HEARTED Obama is. THe Infant Born Alive Act is what Obama voted AGAINST. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z22Aem5_r44 Audio of Obama arguing AGAINST the Infant Born Alive Act: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YUkbuhXzbvI That is OBAMA - he wants old and young dead.

Obama is trying to get people to LAUGH at the idea so it becomes a joke. When you laugh enough about it, then you can't take it too seriously. He's making a joke out of the TRUTH, so you will NOT take the TRUTH about it seriously.
Obama is a liar!

Don’t pull the plug just ask her where the birth certificate is, burn it then leave town.

“...death panels’ that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we’ve decided that we don’t—it’s too expensive to let her live anymore. (Laughter.)”
I wonder if this is what the Germans were doing when Hitler got started....

The rumor that's been circulating a lot lately is this idea that somehow the House of Representatives voted for ‘death panels' that will basically pull the plug on grandma because we've decided that we don't--it's too expensive to let her live anymore. (Laughter.)"
Just the fact that he used the terminology "Pull the Plug "shows how juvenile and callus he and his advisers are
You don't talk like that about a very serious subject

The earlier Obama jokes about pulling the plug on Terri Schiavo and babies born alive in botched abortions were just as unfunny as this one. Combined with his science czar's comments about putting anti-fertility and sterilization drugs in the food and water supply for population control, this gang in the White House needs to be watched very carefully.

Obama is trying to get people to LAUGH at the idea so it becomes a joke. He's also trying to make us look like jokes. Ridicule is a great weapon.
But aside from that, can you believe how dumb this man is? Granted, a sociopath doesn't have to be knowledgeable about or good at anything. He just has to convince people that he's what they want to see in him, and sociopaths have a rare gift for doing that because they really have no personalities of their own. It's all a show designed to get them something they want which, in his case, is power.
Obama is the dumbest, least qualified and least professional president ever.

Even if this is pulled from the bill, the benefits we would have are subject to majority vote. What stops the majority from ceasing services to folks over a certain age?
