"Some people are calling for her to be fired, to me, that’s kind of like firing Captain Smith on the Titanic after it hit the iceberg. It’s not going to do much right now."

Yes, let’s stay stuck on stupid.

If they are shutting down the program... Yes, don’t fire her.

If they are going to spend massive amounts of new money on the program... Then replace her immediately.

The point about Obamacide has been made. For the rest, let me quote Senator Cruz:

“I consider that theory the ‘Bad Samaritan’ theory. Basically, inflict a bunch of harm on the American people and hope we benefit politically from it. What a terrible, cynical approach. I am not interested in seeing the American people suffer just because my party might benefit politically if they blame the Democrats for the foolish policies that have been imposed.” – Senator Ted Cruz

I liken Obamacare to the tragic flight of Soyuz 1. The soviets knowingly launched a spacecraft so full of problems it would have been a miracle if it had succeeded. Anyway, Soyuz 1 was launched and immediately problems arose. The longer it was up the more problems came up. The order to land was given and the last major failure reared its ugly head and Vladimir Komarov crashed and burned at 400 mph.

That’s how this entire fiasco is going to end up. We are all going to be like Komarov. We are all going to crash and burn. The ending will not be pretty.

Yes, just paint the SS on as stylized lighting bolts as graphics to get the right ambiance

“Did the captain of the Titanic live to tell about it?”

Well, no, but at least he didn’t get fired. ;-)

criminal negligence going back to when S’Bilious showed us how to blow our noses on our shirt sleeves——to keep flu from spreading. I knew fershure the chick was pure hillbilly then. Then I heard her talk, which she can’t do without catch phrases, pretty much like that other world class dumbass Caroline Kennedy. At least we’re getting them all in one place now.

Actually, Obama is Captain Smith, and he’s bringing the Titanic back around for another try at the iceberg.


Now, why did the name Jamie Brockett pop into my mind?

Titanic. Drugs. Iceberg. Sink. “I’m gonna MOOOOOOVE this baby!!!!”

Precisely! If the good Captain had not gone down with his ship he would have been fired and quite possibly charged criminally. In any case White Star Lines would never would have given him another ship. Perhaps she is on a sinking ship but it wont take he life... Really stupid analogy IMHO!

Actually the United States right now is the Titanic after it hits the iceberg with Obamacare acting as a nuclear bomb dropped on top in the guise of trying to save it.

Bill Daily, Major Healy knows this, think the only thing that can fix this is Jeanie herself.

She is MORE like the Captain of the boat that ran aground in Italy! Remember the one who ‘fell’ into the lifeboat?

I think we should hold her underwater so the Titanic analogy can be complete.

Obongo is the one that needs to be fired.
