A thought occurred to me.

After seeing Hilary in the Congo, respond to a question mistakenly about her husband, and how nasty she was about it. I recalled Barbra Boxer with the General addressing her properly and how nasty she was about that and others. I also thought about how the majority of people are now against health care reform and how they are being portrayed by members of congress.

These people are going to be your new insurance adjusters if this "RISKY SCHEME" of a health care bill gets passed upon us.

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.

Remember how they ran and re-ran the little *contretemps* between Clinton and Christiane Amanpour, she was asking him a question in a rather strident tone, the crowd starts hooting her, Clinton jumps in with "No, let her speak" and then the camera stays on him with that stupid *I'm listening intently* pose?? No doubt if there is any negative/objection-type of question made, 0bama will be ready to look oh-so-intelligent, sympathetic, presidential if you will.

Phony baloney, as usual.

I just posted this article about Obama supporters getting the tickets to this event. What a shock.

You know, I started to watch this charade, but I can’t stand bad acting. So I’m listening to Rush instead.

Same tired TOTUS speech. Audience stacked with “Yes We Can” chanters. Same Old Sh*t, Different Date and Location.

You are correct, nothing but a staged event full of mindless Obamabots: Live video of the event here:

Look at the crowd, the images speak for themselves.

front page of Drudge says “You won’t be waiting in any lines”.

Now, I’d like to know how he knows this? We already wait to see the doctor sometimes, and we can find example after example of national health care showing long waits for appts, not to mention waits for approvals.

So, does he have a crystal ball? Just because someone says something - it doesn’t make it true. Statistics are rational- and the statistics don’t look good.

He says 9 out of 10 times the generic rx might work as well or BETTER than the brand name. OR BETTER? I can agree that they may be equivalent, but better.

So, when did he find the time to get his pharmaceutical degree when he was a community organizer?

“Sir, there are three sacred sociopolitical relationships: husband/wife, pastor/parishioner, and doctor/patient. What you are proposing* is to insert government firmly into one of those relationships, defining how one party may interact with the other. By what Constitutional power may the government do this, what future plans do you have for a similar intrusion into the other two relationships, and by what clinical insanity do you respond to the first two questions with anything other than ‘there is no such power’ and ‘I would never ever interfere in them’?”

(* - Actually he proposes nothing. It’s the House’s plan, and he seems grossly un-versed therein. Every time he says it will/won’t do X, he is completely unable to address why.)

BTW: He said there should be a vigorous debate over health care, but “with each other, not over each other.” Interesting comment from someone who has told the opposition to shut up, and “if they bring a knife we’ll bring a gun”.

......if they bring a knife we’ll bring a gun.......

Today it actually happened, but in reverse. On another thread a man brought a gun (carried)to a town Hall Meeting and the moonbats at MSNBC responded by breaking out the long knives.

Based on the Presidents threat, the man was being prudent.

Funny, Ive always surmised that Judas never really knew he was going to be the One to betray them all, right up until the Last Supper, in which scripture says “the devil entered him”. Much the same way with the AntiChrist..he doesn’t know it will be him until the time comes. Possession, that is.

"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?"

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, is Bill Clinton or Hillary Clinton the actual Secretary of State?
