Let's make one thing perfectly clear: Barack Obama without his teleprompter is like a trapeze artist without a net.

That was likely never more apparent than at the President's healthcare town hall meeting Tuesday when he actually said:

I think private insurers should be able to compete. They do it all the time. I mean, if you think about, if you think about it, um, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. Right? The, uh, no they are. I mean, it's the post office that's always having problems.

Yep. The supposedly most intelligent person ever to be in the White House really said these words as a reason why Americans should trust government to provide healthcare (astonishingly hilarious video embedded below the fold):'

More like a trapeze artist without a trapeze.

And aren't we degrading the concept of "artist" and the noble tradition of the Big Top?

Stupidity by the executive branch leader. Sadly maybe the dumbest man to ever hold the office.

Hey, can only one branch force this health care on us?

The agency is facing a nearly $7 billion potential loss this fiscal year, despite a 2-cent increase in the price of stamps in May, cuts in staff and removal of collection boxes.

Well some of us saw it with the ‘above my paygrade’ answer...

This comment about the Postal Service could/should become Barry’s version of John F’n Kerry’s “voted for it before I voted for against it” moment.

UPS and FedEx shareholders will be pleased to be informed of this: For the period ended May 31, FedEx posted a loss of $876 million, or $2.82 a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $241 million, or 78 cents a share. UPS earnings down 49 percent. He’s getting to be like Biden, uh-oh.....

I think Leno, Letterman and SNL will have a field day with it, I HOPE.

That statement was priceless, the idiot, but for once he TOLD THE TRUTH. rofl.

[KarlInOhio]

When Joe Biden cringes, you know the speech is in trouble.

[Marie Antoinette]

Thanks for the reality check. :)

[green pastures]

ROFLOL!

More proof he’s an empty suit with handlers in the background running the show. The question is now, who is giving the orders to the handlers?

[ladyjane]

So does anybody know where Michelle is these days?

She was non-stop in the media for months and now - nothing.

Is she having plastic surgery?

[Prince of Space]

If you think about, um, UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. Right? The, uh, no they are. I mean, it's the post office that's always having problems.

Thanks, Zero....just gave me my new tag line!

Now I just gotta find a way to get it all on a bumper sticker!

TOTUS has refused to come back from the south of France unless we recall the dim bulb he has to work with. When that’s done we have to send him cash by way of FedEx.

[TNdandelion]

I think I’d rather have FedEx manage my healthcare.

[nomad]

Better yet,how will they spin this http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=911911 can`t wait for the fireworks tomorrow.Hats of to MarkNH,you rock.

Barack Obama without his teleprompter is like a trapeze artist without a net.

More like a magician without a gorgeous assistant. Without the assistant the magician is just a gay guy waving scarves around.

[Domandred]

You’d get it overnight!

[TNdandelion]

ROFL....excellent!

[rolling_stone]

hope one of those postal employees doesn’t get ticked off and go postal...

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

It’s on my facebook page. Haven’t you emailed it? You should. Don’t sit around waitingfor the MSM to do what only we can do. :-)

[Do Not Make Fun Of His Ears]

Lolol this whole thing has me crying with laughter!!!

This alleged “town hall meeting” was packed with Democrats to ask approved questions...

Anyways it was hilarious to see the cheap and obvious preaching mode Obama was in. When was prowling the stage and gesticulating with arms and hands all the time. Using every ounce of effort to con the audience. This is all designed to create an atmosphere to transmit the facts as Obama sees them

If you ignore the theatrics Obama was reaching, rambling and unconvincing. Paying attention to the words (his loyal followers are unable to) Obama was illogical and babbling. Obama is the latest rap star. White youth buy lots of rap music and white America bought this rap stars con job and elected him president

"So does anybody know where Michelle is these days?"

Ever since it was reported that she has a higher sperm count then Bambi, she has kept a low profile while attempts are being made to build his up to levels of something close to that of a 12 year old.
