Doctors demand Obama apology

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.

Let’s see who Obama can insult next. The Boy Scouts are always available. Maybe The Little Sisters of the Poor.

The Salvation Army.
I mean, any organization with “Army” in the name must be suspect if you’re Bambi.

As I said on another thread, I’ve been a Pediatric RN for over 20 years, and I can say with CERTAINTY that there are far less tonsillectomies being done today than 15-20 years ago. Everything this Marxist says is baseless. This is reprehensible.

Here it is - the rationale for substituting Government healthcare decision making for your doctor’s. Goes against all promises made.

The media will not stand up for the medical profession. They just let what 0bama says slide and stand.

>You weren’t supposed to notice that, conservative<

I’m sorry ... silly me. I keep on forgetting that what is said before elections no longer applies after they get elected when it is a democrat.

1,000 apologies ... I’ll try not to let it happen again.
maybe when I go to Camp Obama I will learn better ...

Look for me there won’t you? Im really looking forward to seeing so many people I have just chatted with from here.
And I’m quite sure your on the same list now as me.

Obama is so stupid he can not even demagogue well.

In spite of his affirmative action, curved, slow-pitch Ivy League education.

I thought he sounded like Chauncey Gardner from day one. I must be a racist. I would like to say he’s done or said nothing to change my mind, but he has. He’s worse, he’s a shallow, weak, bitter man taking out his repressed rage against his parents on his country and on Western Civilization.

So he’s pissed off conservatives, independents, doctors, cops...who is next?

I have always said that it is "much better to be pissed off than pissed on". Which Obummer is trying to do to this country

Yeah well, the doctors are racist!

They probably don't like african-Americans either.

We always knew the community organizer was a self-obsessed ignoramus. Now, the whole country is getting to know it.

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.

Probably from smoking. It diminishes blood oxygenation.

That's the thing that creeps me out about the guy. He looks like a cadaver. Ever seen a picture of him with his eyes closed, or nearly shut...brrrr, it sends a chill up my spine just thinking about it...
