Obama pitching health care at town hall meeting
Associated Press ^ | August 11, 209 | PHILIP ELLIOTT

Posted on 08/11/2009 6:04:16 AM PDT by DavidFarrar

Obama will use a potentially boisterous midday town hall-style meeting in Portsmouth, New Hampshire to highlight how his proposals would affect workers whose employers provide their health insurance. Obama is prepared for possible disruptions, said White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, appearing on television talk shows Tuesday morning.

Okay, you have just somehow managed to get a ticket to the Obama's Portsmouth town Hall meeting. You have managed to get a set directly in back of all the Obama plants setting in the first ten rows of seats.

Now here is where the real fantasy comes in...you weren't required to write your question down beforehand, and Mr. Obama will spontaneously answer your question, and he has decided to deviate from the prepared list of questioners and call on you.

What would your question be?

I am posting this here because someone who does have a ticket to attend this event at midday in Portsmouth, just might come here to get their questions.

I know what my question will be:

"Mr. Obama, we know many, many people do not have health insurance, and a public option is essential in bringing down the costs of health insurance for all, which is the key to recovering from this great economic depression we are all suffering through at present. Mr. Obama, will you publish your real, long-form birth certificate and allow it to be examined by a panel of forensic document experts as to its authenticity?"

B.S.

It will be a very large puppet show, as opposed to the usual puppet shows.

Betcha a buck they will even have a "disruptor" that The Øne, Øbama The Magnificent will “handily control. “

I got this email the other day and wondered if others also got one. It appears to be a parody of the Axelrod/White House letter encouraging the Democrats to get out and support Obamacare.

Dear Friend,

If you’ve been watching the ongoing Health Care circus in Washington, you know that the government Health Care Takeover is a hot topic. The clever NEWSPEAK term now being employed by the Obama/Pelosi/Reid Axis of Evil is “Health Insurance REFORM”— and it’s a LIE. The rumors of death counseling provisions, the plan to ration (read that “DENY”) treatment to the elderly within the proposed over 1,000 page Democrat monstrosity of a bill have only increased as more people come to understand that it is ALL TRUE. Given the dissembling by the elitist/statist Democrats – who have EXEMPTED THEMSELVES from their own legislation – as they routinely do — it’s time to make sure everyone knows the facts about the insecurity and instability to be foisted upon us proles should this thing pass. The politicians will NOT have to stand in those long lines awaiting the rest of us as we hope to get to the front before expiring. THEY will have the finest, most timely medical care OUR money can buy them.

That’s why we’ve launched a new online resource — to help you separate fact from fiction and share the truth about the pending government Health Care Takeover. Here are a few of the reality check videos you can find on the site:

· The ever-cheery CEA Chair Christina Romer describes how this plan will put many small businesses in the crapper.

· Domestic Policy Council Director, the delightful Harmony Himmelman tackles the subject of euthanasia and clearly describes how reform helps families get rid of that troublesome old man or woman how holding down a chair in the family room and must be served meals as he/she doesn’t walk all that well now.

· Chuck “Draft Dodger” Schluter, the White House’s Director of Veterans and Wounded Warrior Policy, clears the air about Veterans Benefits, with emphasis on the new “Vets can provide their OWN health insurance” portion of the plan.

· Jack Kevorkian, M.D., a doctor serving in the White House’s Office of Public Engagement and Disinformation, explains that health care rationing is happening right among the millions of welfare people and illegals now and how reform gives control back to the Democrat political hacks now trying – with a bow (butt not too low) to Barney Frank – to Rahm this down your throats

· Bill “The Budget Buster” Goebbels, M.D., a doctor serving on the National Economic Council, explains how the government Health Care Takeover will be financed by cutting Medicare, Defense, Social Security and several other programs now considered to be unnecessary or too costly by the administration. Dr. Goebbels has just completed a thorough 20 minute audit of the recent stimulus packages and the Cash for Clunkers programs and pronounced them all sound and efficiently run.

There’s more information and a number of online tools you can use to spread the truth among your family, friends and other social networks. Got to the website and see for yourself. Be sure to have an air sickness bag handy before logging on.

The website is at http://standinlinefortreatmentanddie.lol

We knew going into this effort that accomplishing a comprehensive government Health Care Takeover wasn’t going to be easy. Achieving real change never is. The entrenched interests that benefit from stupid and antiquated concepts like patient choice, freedom and the rule of law (the Constitution) use their influence in Washington to try and keep things just as they are.

But don’t be misled. We know the America you knew as a child is no more and it is time to put aside childish things. If we do nothing, millions of older Americans – you know, like those worn out old geezers who landed on or parachuted into Normandy or froze in Korea — will survive what would or should be life ending illnesses and we extra smart folks here in Washington will run out of the funds needed for welfare payments to and health care for those who refuse to work – even if they COULD find work outside government now—and those here illegally. As they vote largely Democrat, we simply couldn’t allow them to go without. As we here in Washington are the only ones with the power to print money, we are the only ones with enough of the stuff to pay for all of this. (Of course, the end-of-life section of the program will cause those costs to shrink as the plan kicks in. The soon-to-be-proposed Soylent Green program will actually provide a revenue stream into the plan. It could become a virtual perpetual motion machine!)

Inflation? Not to worry. Your kids and grandkids can worry about that. (On that topic, when you do decide to pull your own plug, we suggest cremation and scattering as there is a distinct probability that those kids and grandkids would otherwise dig you up and drag your remains around behind one of those “green” cars – if they can find someone with enough dough to buy one.)

That’s the reality.

Americans deserve better. You deserve a health care system that works as well for you as it does for us and the millions of government employees. Well, maybe not THAT good. One that won’t deny you coverage when you need it most (with rationing, there won’t be those disturbing letters denying coverage as you will not be home to get them: You’ll be standing in that line we mentioned earlier or will have died). And there won’t be those crippling out-of-pocket co-pays. I mean, why bother. With the taxes we’ll need to pay for those illegal and welfare Democrats, the pockets of those few of you who survive will be empty anyway. Government Health Care Takeover means the insecurity and instability you deserve. Think of it as chickens – actually buzzards – coming home to roost for voting for us in November.

And speaking of elections, be sure to get out to the polls in 2010 and 12 to vote that straight D ticket. As usual, free busses will be available all election day at all overpasses, welfare housing projects and other sites where illegals/urban outdoorsmen gather. Don’t forget to ask the ACORN folks for that coupon for your pint of wine or 6 pack of Colt 45.

President Barack Obama promised he’d bring change. And if you have any change left, send it to Timmy Turbotax, c/o The U.S. Treasury. Timmy took a beating on selling his house and could use some help. Barack promised to fix our broken, pathetic and miserable lives. You can help deliver that. Visit the site and leave a message as we enjoy a good joke as we all need a good laugh from time to time.

Thank you,

I.M.Wong
Special First Member of the New White House Politbureau and Czar in charge of Health Care Takeover Propaganda

Mr. Obama,

—Please read the bill, (atleast one page of it) outloud line by line and explain each lines meaning.

—Didn’t you write in your book that a self described communist, Frank Marshall Davis and Saul Alinsky are your mentors and heroes?

—Why are you the lead bully pulpit in a political cultural warfare of left vs. right? Calling for a political attack on American citizens? Didn’t you say you were a uniter? The saying goes...divided we fall, do you want us to fall?

—Why aren’t Paul Ryan and Burr’s ideals on health care reform acceptable to you?

—Are you for globalization? If not why did you write the global tax bill?

—Don’t you think it is rightious that the American people are suspicious about you firing IG Walpin and a man mysteriously being shot surrounding PassportGate during your campaign?http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/apr/19/key-witness-in-passport-fraud-case-fatally-shot/

Well, admittedly it’s an ‘amateur’ question, but one that tens of millions can understand readily, and that includes the Congresscritters who these questions would inevitably be addressed to. In fact it’s already been used to great effect: “Would everyone in Congress be willing to sign up to this bill you want to foist upon us?” If your large bank accounts would afford you some choices outside the bill, would you also fatten OUR bank accounts to afford us those same choicess?” And IF NOT, WHY NOT?????”
After all, as it’s still an unpopular thing to remind them of, it’s our tax dollars that pay their huge salaries, and give them luxuries we, their willing slaves, will NEVER be granted ourselves, by THEM. We are just asking to be granted what WE grant THEM.

I hope no one asks about his birth certificate. If they do it will likely be some drooling moron who botches the question. Or perhaps it will be an SEIU plant.

My question: "Mr. President, given that you claim the health care bill will not increase the deficit 'one penny', yet the non-partisan CBO says unequivocally that it will blow a large hole in that deficit, don't you owe it to the American people to show how the CBO is wrong in their numbers? And if you cannot, shouldn't you start over on the drawing board to determine a new course of action that will ensure consumer choice and not bankrupt the next generation, as the CBO says you will? Also why won't you include tort reform in your bill, to quickly save the American health care system nearly $660 billion annually by removing the threat of unethical tort lawyers like John Edwards?"

No opposition, pre-prepared crowd, same as it ever was.

There will, of course, be a planted "disrupter" who will ask Obama a "difficult" question that he will handle with ease, being both polite to the "disrupter" and making him look bad at the same time. The MSM will then show this clip over and over again as evidence that those who oppose Obamacare don't know what they're talking about.
