>>”I’m shocked at Obama’s audacity to say such an easily refuted lie.”<<

He repeated it twice (back to back) in his speech to make sure his flock heard of his divine healing.

We’re in big trouble, my friends. 0bama refuted the doctor’s previous reports that the patient’s ‘eyes are open and she is responding’.

I wonder how the doctor and the MSM are going to spin this one? Did he lie or did the Messiah lie? Will it be that we laymen did not understand the surgeons words and misinterpreted his medical jargon?

It will be interesting to see who has the balls to challenge both the Dr. and the blessed and masterful healer, Barack Hussein 0bama.

The entire program was appalling. While our great leader was doing his best to appear solemn and humble, Michelle couldn’t wipe the smile off her face.

I understand that SanFranNan was in the room. An evil force so string it woke Giffords up from a coma.

[AliVeritas]

Yep.

Kwisatz Haderach?? Please don’t assign him even fictional status like Paul Atrides. Even in jest. Well, go ahead. It’s just me and it’s too early.

[Candor7]

Well it was dome in complete , utter sarcasm. LOL. That should be some comsolation. Its early , I thought I would get it in early before the MSM slimes begin their cycle of propagandaic adulation.

"We all started crying," Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.)

I always love seeing quotes like that from people who would bring popcorn to a mass human sacrifice if it was for a good cause.

Completely off topic, and it was many years ago, but did anyone else find the last few books of that series painful? I read them all just to say I'd done it but looking back I should have quit after the first three or so.

Thank God for obamacare! It's a miracle!

Evidently, the only costs that should be associated with Obamacare are those for Barry's travel, lodging, meals and a modest per diem. All he need do is travel from one clinic or hospital to the next, healing the sick and injured. He might even have time for some golf if he plans his route well.

You guys are just not “believers” ... the Messiah has caused the blind to see, the dead to rise up ... had he(Narcissist anyone?)

"It felt like we were watching a miracle," Wasserman Schultz told reporters traveling back to Washington with her on Air Force One. "The strength that you could see flowing out of her, it was like she was trying to will her eyes open."

It was like...
...Wasserman Schultz was trying to will a profundity from her idiot mouth.

If they did, it was because their plan did not work out like they planned it.The only peole they care about is themselves individually. It was their guy that shot them and her. To this time and date,I have read only two responses on this forum and have heard nothing from the media expresing sympathy for the nine year old girl the sorry sob shot in the , according to the media,back of the head. The ones , except the two, were alluding to the fact that he was mentally ill and could not get treatment and how bad it was for his parents. To which I say bullcrap! He had the presence of mind to purchase the firearm, buy the ammo and load the firearm, plan and carry out the shooting, and attempt to flee the scene. In addition to the deliberate act of shooting the child. There are thousands, if not millions, of mentally ill individuals roaming the streets on a daily basis and they do not purchase firearms and deliberately shoot nine year ols girls in the back of the head. The bastard is pure evil.

The first three Dunes were classic...the last three deteriorated to smarmy...the Brian Herbert versions later are okay in a 20th century military sci-fi kind of way...the first Dune though, magical...magritte

So too the RINO Commentariat. The Miracle Bringer: "He opened her eyes!" "A great speech!"

The campaign rally of a "memorial service" was clownish and off-putting.

The speech was canned sugar and rat poison.

[reagan_fanatic]

Here’s your chance, Obama. Your predecessor raised Lazarus from the dead - I’m sure you can out-do him by raising up six and instantly healing a brain injury.

Bring forth, o glorious messiah - we’re waiting!

[redk]

Agreed. The congresswoman is in my prayers but I cannot swallow that she waited just for Pelosi, Gillibrand and Wasserman-Schultz to open her eyes on the day of Obama’s speech. It's just too much.

I already heard a radio news report that his poll numbers are up with 53% approval.

Conservatives need to push this - He’s another Clinton-level liar. It is disgusting and cheap to exploit death and suffering this way.

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

How about this article: Biggest risk for Giffords is brain swelling From the article:

Dr. Michael Lemole Jr, MD, who performed surgery on the Congresswoman, said UMC physicians are "cautiously optimistic" about Giffords' outlook.

Lemole said that as of Sunday morning, Giffords was responsive to voice commands. She is able to respond to simple commands such as "can you open your eyes" or "can you raise two fingers," he said
