White House's Botched "Op"
New York Post ^ | 6/6/09 | Charles Hurt

Posted on 10/06/2009 5:04:18 AM PDT by RetroSexual

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.

“”When you cut through all the noise and all the distractions that are out there, I think what’s most telling is that some of the people who are most supportive of reform are the very medical professionals who know the health-care system best,” the president said.”

And some of the biggest supporters of mega-government are the captains of mega-industry who support Corporate Socialism. It isn’t that they believe the system will run better. It is that they want monopolistic control.

The doctors who support this are no different. They are first and foremost leftists/liberals who believe in mega-government and socialism. The effect that this has on actual medical care is of minor importance.

I wish someone would investigate and find out just how many, if any, of those were actually doctors.

My money says there were some in the crowd who were actors.

Lab techs wear lab coats too. (Makes sense, right?)

Maybe they’re lab techs.

(But if they’re fakes, can you be arrested for wearing a lab coat without a license?)

How many of these ‘physicians’ were the kind who show up on middle-of-the-night infomercials extolling the virtues of the latest erectile dysfunction pill, colon cleanser, hair loss treatment, etc.?

In 1915 Coney Island, Polish immigrant Nathan Handwerker worked as a hotdog bun slicer at Feltman’s Beer Garden. Dismayed that he and his fellow immigrant workers couldn’t afford to buy a Feltman’s hot dog, he decided to make his own reasonably priced dogs, and in 1916 he opened “Nathan’s Famous Frankfurter & Soft Drink Stand.”

Things didn’t start out so good for Nathan. The public was already growing weary of they spicy mystery meat tubes and Nathan’s low 5 cent price fueled rumors that his dogs were made from inferior dog and horse meat. In a move to win the publics trust, Nathan hired people wearing lab coats and stethoscopes to stand in front of his restaurant eating hotdogs.

The public bought it and he capitalized on it with signs that boasted “If doctors eat our hot dogs, you know they’re good!” So instead of fading from the streets of Coney Island, he was able to generate the momentum that lead to a Hot Dog empire and household name.
