This doc will retire before Obamacare is fully implemented. Even if I have to work at walmart to put the kids through school. I’m no stranger to hard work...I will find some way to finish outriding my kids through college. It’s my daughter in pre med I worry about. I’m trying hard to get her to make another choice

It wasn’t a random slip up....Obambi used the same phrase at a second fund raiser later in the day....Rush/Levin were all over this....must be in their transcripts.

The author is right: these aren’t “slips” except in the sense that the truth is breaking through the carefully staged recitation of lies. When Obama says what he really thinks - when he describes how he eagerly anticipates the abortions his daughters will have, for instance - he’s revealed as an evil, ugly person whom most of the American people would reject.

The more overconfident he gets ... the more he “slips his leash” ... the better it will be for our chance of getting rid of him once and for all.

“It’s my daughter in pre-med I worry about. I’m trying hard to get her to make another choice.”

What a shame that someone should be discouraged from entering a noble profession because of the manipulations of psychotic, revolutionary, Progressive bureaucrats.

IMHO

As Freud would say “What we have here is a case of projection.” Obama who’s own academic records and accomplishments have been challenged as fraudulent or worse never really happened, is projecting his own vapidity on people of real merit. Obama is a vapid fraud and failure.

“doctors would rather take out tonsils than treat a sore throat because it pays better”-—

Nah, this was just mind-numbing, jaw-dropping stupidity, from a guy who has two kids yet. If he knows what any field of medicine does, it ought to be pediatrics. Actually, the pediatrician, who is treating sore throats chronically, has a financial incentive to keep the tonsils in, since it’s ENT that removes them and gets the fee for the surgery, thus supposely removing the nidus for the infections. I suspect he has a particular animus to the medical profession because buried deep in his medical record he has a diagnosis like “drug-induced psychosis” from an ER visit or hospital stay during his days at Columbia that he frets about. But really, he doesn’t know much about anything in particular, so it’s best to attribute it all to stupidity.

I’m not a dr, but I do work in healthcare. I think before Obamacare is fully rolled out, I need an escape plan. Just not sure what it is yet.

"It’s my daughter in pre med I worry about. I’m trying hard to get her to make another choice"

My daughter -- who's a pretty smart cookie -- she graduated Phi Beta Kappa -- was pre med, but decided to go to grad school for medical illustration. Her program required her to take gross anatomy with the medical students, and she casually dropped (she's very low key) that she ranked 3rd or so in a class of a couple hundred. I tried to encourage her to become an MD, and not practice, but she had her "dream" job before she even received her degree. So that idea fell on deaf ears.

Our loss. She's having a lot of fun with her job, though!

This article is right on target, emphasizing the point that Obama has a visceral contempt for the medical profession.

But Obama is merely the most current and powerful of a long list of leftist politicians that have been demeaning and insulting the medical profession publicly ever since the idea of socialized medicine became a cause celebre for them, starting way back in the early twentieth century in the US and even earlier in Europe.

The reasons for this lie primarily in the left's realization that you can't bring about socialized medicine without government propaganda and policy calculated to produce a feeling of unease among the masses with regards to the competence of the medical care that the "private" sector provides. Plus, moving the medical care system toward ever increasing government control is aided and abetted by belittling the physicians' status in society, lowering the medical profession's image of itself, and thereby reducing resistance within the profession to ever more statist hegemony over their professional and personal lives.

re: Herein is the essence of President Obama’s ideology. It is one that not only diminishes personal achievement, but goes on to claim that the fruits that are borne out of the toil leading to that achievement are to be shared with the state and hence everyone.

This essence of Obama’s ideology is reflected in one of the major differences between Republicans and Democrats with the question, “To whom do the fruits of labor belong?” To a Republican, the fruits of ones labor belongs to the individual, with a small portion of the fruit of their labor going to provide for the legitimate functions of government. To a Democrat, the fruits of ones labor belongs to the government, which “graciously” allows the worker to keep a portion for himself.

Even the MSM drones admit his every quote is deliberate, focus-grouped, and carefully scripted, war-gamed, and staffed out. When Obama made one of his "race" remarks last week, a "throwaway line", one reporter told Gwen Ifill's Washington Week in Review last night that Obama didn't make the remark just once, but at least three different times at three different political events the same day, with only slight variations. The remark was not off-the-cuff, spontaneous, or candid. And he is like that all the time.

Obama doesn't have a "slip of the tongue". Never does. It's always deliberate. Even MSM Obamabots agree.

Tell her to be a PA or a pharmacist or an NP—they’re the only ones who get any respect.

Well, without his records and transcripts, do we really know if Hussein graduated from anywhere, or did he just use Soros' money to buy diplomas?

You are really giving up being a doctor because of CommieCare?
How many other docs are doing the same?
