The White House ^ | 2/25/10 | Blueyon

[blueyon]

Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

[mewzilla]

To take from one, because it is thought his own industry and that of his fathers has acquired too much, in order to spare to others, who, or whose fathers, have not exercised equal industry and skill, is to violate arbitrarily the first principle of association, the guarantee to everyone the free exercise of his industry and the fruits acquired by it.

Thomas Jefferson, letter to Joseph Milligan, April 6, 1816

Yeah, Barry, you're a socialist.

[auboy]

Hey Baccus/Obama. We the American People don't want anything close to this pile of steaming ....

We want nonpartisan solutions. Put your bipartisanship where the sun don't shine.

There are always too many Democratic congressmen, too many Republican congressmen, and never enough U.S. congressmen. ~Author Unknown

[TornadoAlley3]

The Republicans are giving specific ideas, the Dems are only saying, “we agree”. What a waste of time. Someone challenge the Dems, ask them what page of their bill says the same thing.

[firebrand]

Baucus interrupting himself and repeating himself. Fantasizing that agreement is close.

[jessduntno]

“Did somebody in there just fart?”

Biden sniffed loudly and looked around...guilty!

[Lou L]

I like the way Rep. Camp-R MINUTE, pointed out that Dems’ bill would cut Medicare (and it will). The GOP has some ducks lining up...

[RedMDer]

While we’re watching this...

WTF is wrong with the Montana voters?

Kaleeforrneeans poured in and fluxed it all up like a metastatic cancer spread.

[mouse1]

O look like he needs a cig break......

or he needs to get wee weed up!

[Right_in_Virginia]

O doesn’t get to shut down people who are in the middle of “b”-slapping his plan!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

O look like he needs a cig break.

[Buckeye McFrog]

the transcription on this will be the only Washington document with more pages than the bill

[Cricket24]

My Goodness...Obama is so darn arrogant. I wish the camera would stay on him...the camera shows a lot!

[bigbob]

Bush did ;-)

[SE Mom]

Interesting strategery...

Keep drilling into the public the idea we’re really close and it’s simply a few extreme-right-wing-teaparty-rascist-homophobic Republicans who are ruining it for all of you...

[mewzilla]

As of now they are worse.

How about the Pubbies, though? Did they check their spines at the door?

[wilco200]

Nice page numbers. we need more.

say “Death Panels”

I want to see Pelosi’s head explode.

[Lazamataz]

Politico reported an hour into this thing that the Dems feel this has made their point that the GOP is creating “pointless gridlock” and the big Obamacare jam-down is going to start Monday.

Just f***** do it then. I can't wait to see a mutha******* SEA of pitchforks and torches.

[imskylark]

I’m just following along on here but I didn’t hear about a Republican speaking between Hoyer and Baucus. Did one speak? It seems Republicans aren’t allowed to speak much.

[Eagle of Liberty]

HSAs and HRAs are basically dead under the DEMS plan....UGH!
