Gulp: And Postal Office is facing a nearly $7 billion potential loss. And this is what Obama is envisioning the Healthcare reform?

Post officials sent a list of nearly 700 potential candidates for closing or consolidation to the independent Postal Regulatory Commission for review.

PS: Notice how Obama was lost for words numerous times. Is it because he does not even know what the health care reform is all about?

[GeronL]

I am sure the people of this country will be awed by the thought of a healthcare system as wonderful and efficient as the PO. Awed or maybe floored.

Thanks Mr Obama, that’ll make a swell commercial for OUR side.

He needs to be openly mocked and labelled as the liar he is. It is time that conservatives and Republican officials have the spine to call him and his party for what they are and the lies they are so deliberately spewing that are so easily refuted when reading the actual plan. It is evil to try to push this on people with outright lies and trying to silence dissent. They have crossed the line and are behaving like the tyrants they want to be and it time they be exposed for this sham.

[my small voice]

Honestly......

Attention GOP....great ad opportunity!!!!

Obama: UPS and FedEx are doing fine....‘It’s the Post Office That’s Always Having Problems’

Ok, can anybody phrase a better rebuttal against ObamaCare and government running this system? Seriously!!

Thanks Buttcrack!

[Sarah Barracuda]

Wow so our health care will be like the post office..the same post office that is always delivering our mail to a house 3 blocks away from us. Great, now I know what’s coming

[pieceofthepuzzle]

What the hell is he saying? Give me tons of money and put future generations into further debt because I want to create something that’s not going to be that good?

[lacrew]

Wow, he’s the great communicator.

The analogy is flawed anyway. Fed-Ex provides a service the post office doesn’t.

The way he’s going, I hope he has another press conference :)

[lacrew]

I hope my government doctor doesn’t go postal...or...doctal on the elderly.

Obama knows what his reform is about - power. He just doesn't know the lies well enough to deny it is about power. ObamaCare Jokes Obama Jokes

ObamaCare with be like the Cash for Clunker program. The program will quickly run out of money and there will be a call for more and more money until there is a cry for the spending increases to stop. Then there will be rationing and Death Panels that will be worse than anything that Sarah Palin predicted.

With the private insurance system we now have, our premium payments are reinvested to make new wealth. The government does not do that. With money reinvested for new wealth, the private insurance is able to grow and uses the wealth of its growth to meet the demands of the health care system. That is something government will not do. Once it reaches its spending limit, it goes into a rationing mode and a demand for more money in the way of taxation. Taxation only kills the economy which reduces revenue in the form of taxes the government is able to collect.

If the government tries to raise revenue through borrowing, it creates a new set of complications. Bottom line: It creates a different type of tax known as inflation.

My dumb shit mailperson can't even deliver a notice for certified mail to the correct address. My tenant or neighbor are always getting my mail and I am getting theirs, and I mean important stuff like bank statements. I'm glad neither my tenant or neighbor are identity thieves, they would have a field day with that stuff. So does this mean if I go in for a knee replacement or such (after waiting several years) that they would replace the wrong knee, or even give the person in the next room my knee replacement if healthcare would be run like the post office?....oh wait, I am nearing 60, I am starting to become a worthless drag on society so I don't need to worry about that knee replacement, I'm just not worth it

[Islander7]

Best reason to oppose the health care bill one could ask for.

[scottdeus12]

Do you (or does anyone else) have the full text of Obozo’s speech? It’s a classic....

[Vicki]

What a dummy! He doesn’t even realize what he is saying.

[Catsrus]

Obama - Liar for Hire!

Government Health Care will be like…....the Post Office

Not even close. The Post Office is constitutional. Government health care is unconstitutional.

Article 1, Section 8. To establish Post Offices and post Roads;

The Constitution does not say the Post Office must operate profitably no more than it says the Navy must operate profitably; just that they operate.

[Fredgoblu]

The analogy is flawed anyway. Fed-Ex provides a service the post office doesn’t.

I don't know. Our privately run health care system provides service that the government simply cannot! Look at Medicare and Medicaid. The only way these plans don't go broke(r) is to underpay for services. Take away the government bloat, and they might be viable.

Government math:

16% of the economy + better service + more people covered + GOVERNMENT OVERHEAD <= 16% of the economy.

...and if you pass this bill in the next 20 minutes, we'll throw in a FREE Ginsu knife and end-of-life counseling.

Wake up, America. Yes, I mean you, Mr. Obama voter!

[Fredgoblu]

Timely analogy.

Why, just yesterday in Ohio...Postcard Arrives 55 Years Late

Goberment Health Care:

The efficiency of the Post Office

The service of the DMV

and the compassion of the IRS
