• These are all constructive ideas worth exploring. But I will not back down on the basic principle that, if Americans can't find affordable coverage, we will provide you with a choice.
• Now, I don't believe malpractice reform is a silver bullet, but I've talked to enough doctors to know that defensive medicine may be contributing to unnecessary costs.
• It's a plan that incorporates ideas from many of the people in this room tonight -- Democrats and Republicans. And I will continue to seek common ground in the weeks ahead. If you come to me with a serious set of proposals, I will be there to listen. My door is always open. But know this: I will not waste time with those who have made the calculation that it's better politics to kill this plan than to improve it.
• He repeated the truth that health care is decisive for our future prosperity, but he also reminded me that "it concerns more than material things."
• In 1935, when over half of our seniors could not support themselves and millions had seen their savings wiped away, there were those who argued that Social Security would lead to socialism. But the men and women of Congress stood fast, and we are all the better for it.
• You see, our predecessors understood that government could not, and should not, solve every problem. They understood that there are instances when the gains in security from government action are not worth the added constraints on our freedom. But they also understood that the danger of too much government is matched by the perils of too little; that without the leavening hand of wise policy, markets can crash, monopolies can stifle competition, the vulnerable can be exploited.

Take his health care speech before Congress. These are just a few and there are many more to be found in any speech he gives.
So, we made a game called, "can you find Obama's but"
This could be a great drinking game (soft drinks of course).
Have fun and drive home safely.
Obama is a but-monkey. And no that is not a racist remark.
“But” is Barry’s way of saying that he was for something before he was against it.
I thought we weren’t supposed to start sentences with a proposition? Perhaps Obama was stoned that day in school when they covered transitional phrases.
It’s easier to find Michelle’s. (Or is that just too rude?)
That’s one of his trademark rhetorical skills. He first makes a statment that nearly everyone agrees with, often a fairly conservative idea, then says ‘but’ and states his marxist view on the subject.
the following are examples I made up, but similar to things he says in speeches:
“I am a strong believer in small business, but too often workers are unnecessarily left out of the success of these businesses as profits are funneled to investors and owners. I believe the workers deserve a bigger share. I will mandate higher wages and profit sharing”.
“I have faith in the free market, but oil companies are gouging the consumer and I am going to add windfall profit taxes to protect the middle class.”
and so on.
But, but, but...Mr Obama doesn’t have a healthcare plan. Will someone in the media please ask him when he intends to present this plan to us. He talks in generalities about points in a hoped-for health bill, but, but, there isn’t one thing he can point to that is his alone. But, on the other hand, we are allowing 45,000 people a year to die needlessly because they have no health coverage. I have never seen such a barge of bilge tied-up to the ship of state. Obama is Masterful. (Oops, I think I subconciously elicited a racist idea.) Me bad, someone whip my arse for it please.
0bama is traumatized from seeing Michelle’s rear
Using the word “but” negates everything you said before “but” ... but then I digress ...
That’s funny. Between the ‘buts’, the straw men, and his inability to give a speech without TOTUS, he doesn’t seem like the incredible orator that the MSM assures me his is.
We got a good look at Obama’s “but” when he bowed down before the Saudi king.
Not quite as often as he uses “I” in his speeches.
“But” is a hallmark of a charlatan
He would say something like the previous administration had a ad hoc prisoner of war methodology that infringed the rights of prisoners BUT we also have an ad hoc plan to detain terror suspects
We support competition and choice in health care BUT we will put it out of business in the name of choice.
I ro BUT
You could make it a drinking game, but the only one who could have won would have been Ted Kennedy.
I most instances, 0bama couldn’t find his own but with both hands and a flashlight.
Or how about: “I’m not a socialist BUT I play one on TV!”
Obama like but.
“Obama like but.”
Da mo but da betta.
“I thought we weren’t supposed to start sentences with a proposition?”
Ah...er....I believe that should be preposition, instead of proposition.........unless, that is, you are speaking to a woman of the night.....in that case, a PROPOSITION might be the right approach.
