Doctors demand Obama apology
Pitching government control, President falsely accuses doctors of conspiring to make children sicker

WASHINGTON -- Dr. Richard S. Kerr, M.D., a West Virginia Libertarian Party member and a retired doctor with 36 years experience, asked President Barack Obama Thursday to apologize for comments made in his Wednesday night press conference accusing doctors of conspiring to make children sicker for profits.

“President Obama should be ashamed of himself for trying to scare Americans into supporting his government takeover of medicine by falsely accusing doctors of making children sicker. I have never heard a more disgusting or blatantly phony conspiracy theory. We treat our patients with the respect, care and concern you will never find in Obama’s government-run rationed care bureaucracy,” said Dr. Kerr.

“On behalf of my colleagues, I respectfully ask President Obama to apologize for such a slanderous lie and ask him to stop engaging in sickening conspiracy theories to push his government-run scheme. These cheap scare tactics are beneath the dignity of the office of The President and perfectly illustrate why more and more Americans are losing faith in Barack Obama.”

In his Wednesday night press conference, Obama claimed, “…you come in and you've got a bad sore throat, or your child has a bad sore throat or has repeated sore throats, the doctor may look at the reimbursement system and say to himself, you know what, I make a lot more money if I take this kid's tonsils out.”

“For President Obama’s information, pediatricians do not perform tonsillectomies. If he doesn’t know that, then he has no business centrally planning your family’s health care,” said Dr. Kerr.

For more information on this issue, or to arrange an interview with the Libertarian Party, please call Director of Communications Donny Ferguson at 703-200-3669 or 202-333-0008, x. 225, or email Donny.Ferguson@lp.org.

Obama is a radical indoctrinated arse for spewing these slanderous remarks. He doesn’t care who he hurts as long as he can sell his socialist big government “utopia”.

He’s really an ignorant person, and that’s as mild as I can put it. That anyone classifies him as brilliant is amazing. If he is, it certainly isn’t evident.

Yea...and don't forget the stupid police officers and Teachers in Indiana who lost their pensions because Obama gave them to the United Auto workers. Those evil typical Americans need to be taken down a few pegs./s

Who is left Obama that you really give a sh*t about? Go back to the world hood. Lock the door and leave the key under the mat, you are about done slamming this country, user.

Hey Zero, do lawyers ever make decisions “just to make money”? Why don’t you clean up your own profession before delving into areas you know nothing about?

Barry pisses off Law Enforcement Officers and Doctors in the same night!

He might think twice before canceling movie-night at the Whitehouse next time.

ears ? yeah those are funny too, but what the heck is with his blue lips? I have never seen anyone of any race with blue lips, it’s freaky looking and distracts me when I try to force myself to watch him.
