Obama, you are a ******* *******.

[handy old one]

I know why now because he can’t count higher than one!!!

[Monterrosa-24]

Back when Dick Nixon was Prez the Press and Big Media loved to attack “The Imperial Presidency”. Now would be a good time to get back to that.

[a fool in paradise]

Obama is a bigger douche than Kanye West.

"There was an election, and.....we WON."

Remember?

If he was being the moderator I would agree. When he takes on the Republicans he is acting not as the President/moderator he is acting as a democrat using democrat time.

[Doogle]

..”.but it’s not about me”

[Candor7]

No, he doesn’t count his time because he is NOT the president according to article II of the constitution

[Scanian]

Well, I’M counting your time, Obozo! Every day I take one more day off your remaining 2.9 years in the White House. And they can’t go by fast enough!

[rockrr]

There is so much to pick from I have no doubt they’re in a quandary as to where to start. Thank you hussein for providing your own rope...

[FreedBird]

Obama does not count his time because he was elected Dictator of the U.S. It doesn’t matter what anyone thinks

Rename, repackage, rewrite it a tad smaller, and sell another pig in a poke.

Tennessee has joined several other states in trying to pass a Health Care Freedom Act. NO COLAs for granny, retired Military or retired fed employees. BIG NEW fees for Tricare for Life retired over 65 Military's secondary health ins. (DOD bill already passed, delayed but goes into effect 2011)

TRI CARE FOR LIFE This from a google search:

http://economicspolitics.blogspot.com/2009/05/tricare-for-life-is-obama-trying-to.html

This option would help reduce the costs of TFL, as well as costs for Medicare, by introducing minimum out-of pocket requirements for beneficiaries. Under this option, TFL would not cover any of the first $525 of an enrollee’s cost-sharing liabilities for calendar year 2011 and would limit coverage to 50 percent of the next $4,725 in Medicare cost sharing that the beneficiary incurred. (Because all further cost sharing would be covered by TFL, enrollees could not pay more than $2,888 in cost sharing in that year.)

Congress plans to block Tricare fee increases

By Rick Maze - Staff writer, Oct 7, 2009

Tricare fee increases imposed last week by the Defense Department will be repealed by a provision of the compromise 2010 defense authorization bill unveiled Wednesday by House and Senate negotiators.

The fee increases were announced on Sept. 30 and took effect on Oct. 1, but the defense bill, HR 2647, includes a provision barring any fee increases until the start of fiscal 2011.

Snip

Retired Army Maj. Gen. Bill Matz, president of the National Association for Uniformed Services, said the announcement of fee increases was shocking considering that the Obama administration promised earlier this year to hold off on any new fee Tricare fee increases until fiscal 2011.

“President Obama and DoD assured NAUS and the entire military family earlier this year that there would rightly be no increases in any Tricare fees” in fiscal 2010, Matz said. “We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

“We took them at their word, and I can’t believe that a co-pay increase like this was allowed to go forward,” he added.

ANYONE that takes ANYTHING that Obama says at his word is an IDIOT.

Obama is a proven liar, if you keep doing the same thing over and over and keep getting the same result, what's that prove? (I hope I don't have to answer that for you too!)
