President Obama yesterday rolled out the red carpet -- and handed out doctors' white coats as well, just so nobody missed his hard-sell health-care message.
In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama.
A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama's pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress.

I was just about to post that... The weirdo with no suit and tie (under the lab coat he is wearing a flannel) standing next to Obambi does NOT look like a doctor I would want to go to...
That scene of white coats reminds me of the time Clinton staged the march across the WH lawn flanked with an entourage of military.
Remember how ballistic the pressers went when Bush ‘staged’ the live conference from Iraq?
Now we’d like a shot of the press corps in their bibs.
One of the dumbest commercials ever was a group of white-coated techies in the back of a moving semi-trailer throwing junk in front of a car with a tire they were advertising.
Missed that one. Just lucky, I guess....!
Call the White House on Monday! Congressman Tom Price, M.D. is urging everyone to call the White House this Monday October 5th. The White House phone number is 202-456-1414. Let the President know that you do not want government medicine. CLICK HERE for video of Dr. Price explaining what to do on Monday.
Here is what he is asking us to do:
1. CALL THE WHITE HOUSE ON MONDAY! The President is meeting with a hand picked group of docs who agree with him. He needs to hear from doctors in the community who disagree with him. CALL ON MONDAY TO: 202-456-1414
2. Encourage your Physician Colleagues to do the same. Forward this email to your medical associations, post the phone number of doctor dining room bulletin boards and talk to your colleagues in the corridor.
3. ENCOURAGE YOUR PATIENTS TO CALL THE WHITE HOUSE TO SAY "NO TO MANDATES, RATIONING, and THE PUBLIC OPTION".
The result of this email: You Jammed Up the White House Phone Lines on Monday.
My husband called twice. I emailed them. More call to action today at the link.
Call for the “men in white coats” on 0bama. These lickspittle doctors should be in straitjackets as well.
I personally thought they looked like a bunch of employees of an insane asylum....
It would be nice to see a list of the attendees and the focus of their practices.
I want to know who in the White House is actually in charge of orchestrating all these photo ops. I’m sure it’s several individuals. Every time Bozo is publicly campaigning for some issue they have to truck ‘em in by the busloads. There’s probably a whole department in charge of this stuff. Can we find out? Let’s!!!
Obama goes to great lengths to fly in a MD’s who agree with him. Perhaps, if we had the MD’s names we could check on these MD’s? Why check on these MD’s? I am leary of any doctor who prefers being paid similar to medicare allowable charges vs. actual charges.
And yet, close to 40% of physicians polled indicated that they would close their practices if Zerocare passes.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement, is it?
The doctors I have spoken with are hell no against it. And I have talked to several.
Hmmmm, seems like it was only a month ago that Obama was saying that doctors (and I paraphrase here) were cutting off patients' legs so they could make $60,000 when all that was required was an aspirin.
What is it Zero, do they have credibility or, are they just a bunch of money hungry capitalist performing unnecessary procedures to pad their bank accounts?
These guys are Doctors for America, which is the relabel of Doctors for Obama, who donated heavily to the Obama campaign in 2008.
Not to mention, the Democrats have been caught red-handed so many times stocking impostors at the townhalls, they need to provide proof going forward.
I know one who is a flaming lib. I’m sure he’s probably for it. But he is a lib first and foremost. The jackass wouldn’t even check his own son’s ear for an ear infection because he thinks antibiotics are used too much. The kid was in agony.
I’m sure a lot of doctors would have to think twice if the government offered to pay off all medical-school costs for signing on. Frightening, I know. But some of them are carrying bills of 2-300 thousand.
It would also be nice to see who paid for these "doctors" to fly into Washington,D.C. from all 50 (or is it 57?) states? Most doctors I know would not have time on a weekday - to leave their practice for such a staged stunt... they are too busy with their patients.
Very fishy.... is that web-site for "Fishy" still operational???
