I want the same health care my public SERVANTS have!

[Atom Smasher]

Its premature to say we can breathe a little easier...so we’ll just have to hold our breath a little longer until we find out what the idiot-in-chief has to say tomorrow...

May God Be With Us All...

[jazusamo]

Amen to that. This could be a head fake by Zer0 and Co.

[Fester Chugabrew]

I want the same health care my public SERVANTS have!

Fine. But are you ready to perform the terrific public service they do on our behalf? Jet around? Give speeches? Enact laws that are not studied or read?

[traditional1]

Pelousy is just doing it for show, to placate the looney left voterbase. Unfortunatley for ALL of us, they WILL pass some socialized medicine Bill, and it will just be expanded continuously in the future, so all the TAXPAYERS can fund the entitlements' crowd, INCLUDING non-Citizens to buy their votes.....

We are in deep crap, Amerika!

[LegalEagle61]

I have heard this crap before and that is all it is—CRAP. Howard Dean was on Chris Wallace last week and he was saying the Ameriocan people want this-—what a damn lie! We know the truth, they just spin and spin and spin. Loser libs.

They’re going to push their “trigger”. Just another way to get it in. There is so much in this bill that stinks that the public option shouldn’t make a bit of difference, in or out.

And what about the earmarks in this bill? My God, the country is broke. Why can’t they just stop spending?

[jazusamo]

I’ve no doubt if they drop the public option they’ll be a “trigger” in the bill and it’s just as bad, it’ll only put off govt health care a little longer. The bills have to be killed.

[Deo volente]

I just heard there's a new poll out that has 83% of Americans AGAINST government-paid health insurance for illegals.

I didn't catch the name of the poll, but I did hear that number correctly. Perhaps someone can fill in the details.

Socialist Obama speech tomorrow will be full of stupid emotional rhetoric with very little details and he will give dozens of contradictory hints whether he wants socialized medicine aka public option or not. The democrats will give him dozens of standing ovations during the speech, the socialist media will hail it as the best speech in history of mankind, new fake polls will come saying that the public wants now socialized medicine, but few days after the speech his party will be further divided because again they still do not what socialist Obama wants to do.

PS: Not a single conservative should watch his speech tomorrow and hence deprive him from the ratings that he worships.

[R0CK3T]

So 0bama is now officially also flipping the American Public THE BIRD!

Someone please queue up the finger pics from Zero when he’s trying to get away with “scratching” his face to FLIP OFF someone who is pressing him on his BS.

Attention Media. Attention!
The tide has always been against the “public option”.
Only those who’s interest it is to reshape American society
are for it, and will do everything they can to ram it
down the nation’s throat.

[jaz.357]

From a web pal:

Obama's health care plan will be written by a committee whose head says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that hasn't read it and whose members will be exempt from it, signed by a president who smokes, funded by a treasury chief who did not pay his taxes, overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that is broke.

What could possibly go wrong?

[jazusamo]

I’d bet money you’re right, jv and I for one am not watching it.

[tet68]

Fine. But are you ready to perform the terrific public service they do on our behalf? Jet around? Give speeches? Enact laws that are not studied or read?

I might be willing to junket once in a while...
as long as I didn’t have to really do anything,
and a freezer full of cash would be nice.

[montag813]

Right-leaning blogs need to pump up expectations before the speech.

"we've heard rumors this speech is the best ever written for Obama"..."a barnburner"...."mezmerizing"..."this will seize back the momentum", etc.

Start early and parrot this line on the morning shows, and build it up until mainstream media picks it up. Build expectations for this speech to the sky.

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I cannot sit for 10 seconds to even hear ObaMao’s voice. I quickly hit the mute, change the channel, or go to a noncommercial infested movie for peace and tranquility.

Just the sight or the sound of this Marxist drives me PSYCHO.

[jveritas]

Excellent my FRiend, I have not watched TV news since November 5 2008, all TV news including Fox News.
