Rep. Gabrielle Giffords opens eyes for first time since Tucson shooting
Washington Post ^ | 1-12-11 | Anne E. Kornblut

"At the memorial service for the victims of the shooting in Tucson, Arizona, President Obama said that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords opened her eyes for the first time after his (Wednesday) visit.

It was the first time she had opened her eyes since the shooting that wounded her Saturday outside a Tucson grocery store. "We all started crying," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) said in a phone interview from Air Force One later Wednesday night. "Other than the birth of my children, it was the most incredible moment I have ever had."

Also in the room were Sen. Kirsten E. Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.)

I read yesterday that the polar icecaps have reached as far south as Georgia and Mississippi. We can all thank Obama for saving the Polar bear habitat.

If he is who I think he might turn out to be then this is one of a few “miracles” he will perform:)

She probably thought she had died and gone to hell when they walked in!

Well, even FOX is reporting this as fact this morning. So, obama rewrites history again, and the newsreaders don’t make a peep.

Dr.Peter Rhee has nothing to gain from his statement. Of the two individuals, who do you think is lying?

..since Doc Rhee is a combat surgeon and has served in the war zone and probably saved many lives, he's my choice.....the scam artist is the head of death panels ...

Thanks. I looked up the article from 1/9/2011, that she opened her eyes, and it was scrubbed.

This morning Fox News was claiming that it was a metaphor. That is such BS from even Fox that I wanted to puke.

It looks like the MSM hasn’t learned a thing.

Politics politics politics.

Truth be told the congresswoman has most likely lost the eye on the side of the shooting.

Her eye socket was shattered.

The b**t**d might as well have said he layed his hands on her and she opened her eyes.

You know that was the implication.

Well he isn’t THE anti-Christ. He does not fit the desription on many points, though he certainly isn’t Christian IMO.

Hmmm. Didn’t the doctors report she was in a drug induced coma which they awoke her from on several occasions?

That's what I thought I heard here in AZ. It would seem the humane thing to do. Poor woman, I hope she can be kept unconscious until some amount of healing can happen. It would be a mercy.

I wish I could comment there. The sheeple are full of praise for Saint Barry>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I guess we will have to say this is resurrection 2 of the annointed one, and we haven't even crucified him yet. Buahahahahahaha!

I look forward to seeing his ego get way out of hand again, and watching him go through even deeper throws of cognitive dissonance based depression in the polls when his so called miracles continue to destroy our nation.And we will crucify him if we have to, we have been holding back. Lets just hope that deportation will be enough.

Make way for the annointed one everybody or else he might just hand you a T shirt.

How typical. The lap-dog media will write anything if it hypes Democrats...even giving them the power of healing.
Dear old Joe Wilson had it right a year ago when he yelled, “You lie!” at the SOTU address. It’s been a lie fest ever since.
