What does Obummer even hope to gain by insulting doctors and surgeons by calling them heartless greedy evil scumbags? This man is the POTUS but to hear him talk you’d think he was a combination of Hitler, Stalin and Mussolini.

Not to worry - he can always go to Mombasa or Djakarta for the national health care he’ll need.

I have almost full use of my right hand due to my surgeon’s skill and care.

Obama should apologize immediately.

Maybe he should keep Gates’ table out in the garden for another beer fest.

Exactly! That was the main point that he was calling them butchers, they should be outraged and marching on Washington.

If Obummer gets sick while in the WH, I wonder what the surgeon would think while he was on the table in light of the things Obummer has said about doctors and surgeons.

His wife’s job was to ensure that beds were available for their rich patients thus the hospital under her position did patient dumping. She only got the job paying $350,000 because he did an earmark to the hospital for millions.

0be keeps bringing up this lame example of having to amputate the foot of a diabetic. I think it has something to do with his Islamic upbringing.

An Islamic amputation is a lot cheaper, I'll wager.

Islamists just aren’t happy unless they are cutting off limbs and heads of people. You’d think they would have ways to make better use of their time. Oh, wait. They have. It’s called suicide bombs.

Typical "community organizer" mentality. Demonize any and everything to convince your audience that you are the only one to be trusted. Similar to a con man, only not as honorable.

Just like all his campaign speeches...Obama spews lies and misconceptions in order to scare people into believing him. Typical Dem political tactic.

All I can add is --- GO GET HIM, DOCS!!!!

Obama is a racist & socialist, who thinks he knows better than the little people! You watch, he’ll have a few Doctors over to the White House for beers and a photo op. There all fixed!

He and his party comrads can go to H*LL and burn.

His wife was a very highly paid hospital administrator.

That is a joke right?

All M had was an empty title. This hospital made it their practice to turn away the poorer people in the neighborhood and send them to a more distant hospital.

It's a good statement in general, but I'd prefer that the word "entitled" was not used. That's because "entitled" and "entitlement" have become statists' buzzwords attempting to ever justify the expansion of government. If I were to write that sentence, it would be:

And we are are working every day to ensure that medicine provides Americans with disabilities the optimal quality of life that each patient's circumstances will allow. That reduces it to the physician working one to one with the individual patient, rather than government dictating "entitlements," i.e., it places primary emphasis on the Hippocratic model as vastly superior to the ObamaCare model.

The “$50,000 per foot” comment is one of the more outrageous lies that Obama has been getting away with out there. It’s those kind of comments that just fuel the anger at these town hall meetings.

I would not want to be in any Congress Critter’s shoes who is out there trying to sell this BS. The Dhimmies raved for eight years about what a poor communicator GWB was...but Bush’s gaffes never came close to this, and it has to be infuriating for some of the Democrats to be forced to go out and attempt to defend this kind of crap.

It sells to the urban legend culture for which it is intended.
