WHITE HOUSE HEALTH CARE MEETING - LIVE THREAD

The White House ^ | 2/25/10 | Blueyon

[blueyon]

Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

[whatisthetruth]

get you popcorn and sit back..

Thanks, a little early for popcorn, think I'll just settle for a cup of java.....

[gov_bean_ counter]

I'm hoping this session takes on the flavor of the House of Commons.

I'm tired of this fascist hiding behind presidential decorum.

The 496,000 first time jobless claims for last week isn’t going to help the Marxists. It’s up to the Republicans to flub this up.

[mwl8787]

they will get the jobs data woven into their remarks. the question is whether the networks will ever let the American people hear it.

I pray that the GOP turns most of the talking over to our doctors. Coburn, for example, knows every minutae of this entire health care issue and can talk with experience about the sanctity of the doctor-patient relationship. Obama can’t go there. Also hope he makes a fool of himself without TOTUS.

[Miss Didi]

This morning Smarty Pants Gibbs was on with the Friends...he hears the voice of the American people and they want Barry's HR reform. Gretchen takes him to task pointing out poll numbers that show the exact opposite but he insists not according to his polls. Also, he declares that Scott Brown was not elected to kill the HC bill.

Later Peter Johnson Jr. appeared with a warning for the Repubs...he said they have to be verrrrrrry respectful toward Barry because after all this is a HISTORICAL presidency that will go down in history with the first African American president so they must show him respect.

[Grunthor]

And the GOP caves in 3...2...1...

God I hope not.

C’mon Pubbies — You’re not going to change Boy Zero’s mind anyway. Make your statement, demand equal time and brief the nation about YOUR plan. If Boy Zero gives any indication he’s trying to play you, leave. Don’t be a part of his charade.

[mwl8787]

we will be fine, but I expect some sort of stunt from BO.

[Grunthor]

“Nancy Pelosi refuses to let them be heard on the Senate floor”.

You’re a smart guy. I bet you laugh at yourself when you figure out what you said there. ;o)

[mwl8787]

market now down over 140 due to rising unemployment claims. Politically, this news could not have come on a better day. These BO people are economic illiterates and we’ll be lucky to live through it.

[Kenny]

I suspect they’ll kill some of the more visible backroom deals for public display. GOP needs to be ready with dollar figures and specifics on the million other backroom deals that didn’t get as much publicity.

[rogertarp]

They don’t have the votes in the House and Americans will riot if they change the rules in the Senate to dictate this Communism.

[TonyInOhio]

This will be an event "full of sound and fury, signifying nothing."

It'll be breathlessly reported by salivating Lefites who will see glimmers of their failed Messiah. A week from now, we will have all forgotten it happened.

But, that's never stopped us from bumping a Live Thread before, so why start now? :)

[stephenjohnbanker]

“The Republicans should stand up at the opening and say:

‘the topic should be jobs, not healthcare, as another near-half-million jobless claims had to be made this week.’”

WINNER !!

[truthkeeper]

Thank you for starting this thread. Man yer battle stations....

[kingattax]

NO COMPROMISE

[TomGuy]

10 seconds into Obama’s opening spiel, someone should stand up and say, “Mr. President, we did NOT come here to be lectured at!”

[Miss Didi]

Fox has been reporting all morning that there is a “Plan B” should Barry bomb out today. Forgot to add, Bill O. was on set with the Friends this morning and was not calling Barry “brilliant”...in fact, he was knocking him for taxing us to death and for still not understanding his health care plan. Gee, Bill...I’m not brilliant and I get it!

[InterceptPoint]

Anybody know the best link for streaming Fox News?

I'm going to run two windows, one for FR and one for the video stream. So the choices are either to run Fox News, assuming they are doing gavel to gavel, or the whitehouse.gov stream HERE. I'm a bit worried that whitehouse.gov won't have the bandwidth to support the stream.
