BELGRADE, Mont. – President Barack Obama on Friday denounced what he suggested was news media overemphasis on scenes of angry protesters at town-hall meetings on health care. "TV loves a ruckus," Obama said.

Trying to sell his overhaul plan amid an increasingly noisy partisan debate, Obama told a town hall-style meeting in an airport hangar, "What you haven't seen on TV and what makes me proud are the many constructive meetings going on all over the country."

He said Americans are being held hostage by health insurance companies that deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions or cancel coverage when people get sick.

The president kicked off his four-state push for his plan with a pointed joke: He said Montana has bears, moose and elk, and "in Washington, you just mostly have bull."

Yea...just ignore the ignorant masses and their "ruckus".

Well, watch what that "ruckus" leads to in 2010 and then 2012.

What's the matter, Ears? You don't like emphasis on something that opposes your god-liness?

Send Bill Clinton to negotiate with them. He can keep all the nurses he can barter for.

Who's the Fairest One of All?
You are, and you know it!
They love you! You're adored!

... so ends another constructive meeting, per BamBam.

Tee effing hee. I'll be laughing as much as I'm shoved into the brick oven called DeathCare.

Instead of celebrating America's melting pot, our President preemptively plays the race card.
Instead of celebrating free markets, our President nationalizes large swaths of the economy.
Instead of celebrating America's exceptionalism, our President apologizes on the global stage.
Instead of celebrating and honoring America's elderly, our President wants to force 'end of life' plans.
Instead of celebrating democracy, our President is selling Marxism.
Instead of transparency, our President obfuscates all aspects of his personal history and governance.
Instead of openness and representative governance, our President has over 33 secretive "czars" accountable only to him but affect all of us.
Instead of praising America’s medical advances and improvements in longevity, our President accuses doctors of profiteering by yanking out tonsils and lopping off limbs.

What happens to a Community Organizer when the community organizes against him?
We are making history since this has never happened before.

This is his covert directive to the media arm of the marxist party to “cease and desist” from giving airtime to the protestors (what little airtime they’ve given). If it’s not in the public view, it isn’t happening-pure marxist tactic.

>> “TV loves a ruckus,” Obama said.

... whereas Bambi and his gang prefer to sneak up behind you and stick it up your keister before you can turn around and confront ‘em.

I swear, this man’s ego knows no bounds.

He’s been on TV and in the papers more in 6 months, than President Bush was in 2 wars and 8 years. President Zero cannot seem to get enough attention, if he were a female, the term would be “Attention Wh*re”

Still can’t help himself, still can’t stop selling and bashing critics. It will be his demise. Karl Rove told Obama what he could do to let a little pressure out of the pot, just go to the meetings and LISTEN. Take the frustration, listen to the people, not try and sell, sell. But we are expecting sane, rational men are controlling Obama and that isn’t so. His side has a vitriolic hatred for our side, black hearts driven by Satan, and if it was legal he WOULD have concentration camps where political rivals are re-educated or exterminated. His mentor Bill Ayers thought this way. There is no compromise with evil, Obama needs to be destroyed politically, made so poisonous that he can never be elected to higher office again. Moloch is pulling the strings here.

Whatever...
I went back to reading after the second standing ovation.

On the other hand, I was quite impressed that a room full of zombies had the control and range of movement to stand and clap at the same time.

[Trying to sell his overhaul plan amid an increasingly noisy partisan debate]

Partisan? Only 42% support the plan. Republicans and Independents by huge margins oppose the plan. Is this author saying that 53% of the nation that oppose the plan are all Republicans?
