Giffords’ Eye Opening News (ABC explains Obama's power to perform miracles)
abc ^ | 1/13/2011 | Jake Tapper

Posted on 01/13/2011 3:32:29 PM PST by tobyhill

President Obama’s dramatic news at last night’s memorial service in Tucson that Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’ has just minutes before opened her left eye for the first time since the shooting has created some confusion in light of news from doctors that Giffords “could open her eyes” on Sunday.

But doctors today provided a simple explanation: Wednesday was the first time Giffords opened her eyes on her own, which Giffords' neurosurgeon, Dr. Michael Lemole Thursday called “a major milestone.”

“When we examine patients, particularly in this state we have to ‘wake them up,’ give them some stimulus, and with that stimulus they might crack their eyes,” Lemole said today. “That’s very different from speaking to someone and having them open their eyes, or having them open their eyes spontaneously in response to familiarity.”

O made over 3 trillion dollars disappear.

You doubt he can pull off ‘miracles’?

Republican presidents they hammer - Dem-socialist presidents they explain for.

The Messiah Obama never qualified his miracle until he got called on it.

All the ‘do-overs’ in the world cannot fool all the people all the time. On Sunday the Doctors said ‘she can open her eyes’. The Tuscon Sentinel reported this. They have now obscured the part of the article that has that language. Politico reported the Sunday news, also. Their article now has a ‘correction’ at the bottom. I am so embarrassed by the state of journalism in this country. They will cover-up and protect Obama at every turn. The double standard is sickening. Too bad for these Internet wizards that people can retrieve the info before the wizards have had time to scrub or qualify this Admin’s lies and truths (like when Obama admitted to Joe the plumber that he wanted to redistribute the wealth) said in a moment of candor.

This is actually standard medical stuff, but wasn't initially explained. The Glasgow Coma Scale is used to evaluate head trauma patients and lists 4 different scores under "eye opening":It's unclear which type - pain or speech - they saw previously, but spontaneous indicates the best functional level.

She might make a statement that the 9th Commandment says..."You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor".

IMHO, that would send a message to the MSM as well as Obama and all the libs that have disobeyed the Word of God.

Let’s see if Zero and the Boy-Queen Administration can get oil under $100 a barrel. That would be a miracle.

All this hoopla is obscuring the fact that if they don’t get the economy on track and worlds better in a few weeks, there is going to be a problem that Bernanke can’t print enough fiat to solve.

I’m sorry, but the conversation the left is flogging is over until the trial.

Hell with all the explanations.

Obama tried to pass this off as a miracle of his presence and he got called on it.

Why does this story remind me of Pet Cemetery?


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

We’ll have time to get back to the economy after our fearless leaders decide to get back to work.

That was one of the most horrifying Steven King films I saw when I was a kid.

I went in the backyard to make sure my dead dog was still buried in his shoe box.

Guess how many people wept as the O spoke those words.

More than we want to know.

Enough to make me weep.

I thought that you had to promise to hit a home run to cure a sick person - oh, that was William Bendix in the Babe Ruth Story.

The good news is that we can scrap Obamacare - just have Obama show up at bedside.
