WHITE HOUSE HEALTH CARE MEETING - LIVE THREAD

The White House ^ | 2/25/10 | Blueyon

[blueyon]

Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

[Winstons Julia]

I’m just going to sip it....I will not....

*gulps*

I haven’t seen this whole thing today...but I’ve seen enough to know this has been a joke! Saw some at a relative’s house earlier. Drove back home listening to Rush...then went online to get this bit.

Saw Shep Smith reaming a Republican about only sticking to “talking points”...then switched to C-Span online.

Seems like alot of Democrats talking....then after Republicans talk...Obama scolds them...then throws to a Democrat who gives anecdotal testimony to play on heart strings.

I hope someone has the highlights later.

And I hope someone has the BREAKDOWN on how long Democrats talked as opposed to Republicans.

I need another glass of wine.

Neither the senate nor the house wants to go first.

The house does not have the votes.

[combat_boots]

Sure you can post photos.....

You find one you like.

Then, you put the statement like this:

(you have to take the spaces out before the little carets so it shows up, and remember the quotation marks)

[fatima]

Amen,I believe it.People are fuming they are not working on getting them jobs.

[novemberslady]

Shep always cuts away from the Republican speaking to go to a guest. Funny that...

[TomasUSMC]

wHy doesn’t someone tell him the Country is in the middle of an economic fire. Put the fire out first!

THen add and change things...but now

PUT THE FIRE OUT FIRST

[Eagle of Liberty]

REPUBs should immediately challenge the RATS to include Congress in the bill (no outs).

Well, Durbin just trumped that by saying that the 2400 page bill IS the Federal Bill.....ugh.

[Terry Mross]

Great idea, Durbin. Then just do it. You can do it one of two ways. 1) Kill all the perks for the royalty in congress, or 2) Make this nation completely socialist and see if we can survive as long as the USSR did.

[kimmie7]

Yep, we’re getting socialized medicine. I have a lot of health issues. My doctor commented that if it went through I would “be pretty much screwed”.

So, I’ve made a hobby of learning to maintain my health through vitamins and supplements.

Now McCain wants to make that as nightmarishly hard as it is to buy a box of Sudafed.

If both bills go through, I done for.

[TADSLOS]

Then what are we going to do?

I know, let's have more circuses like these to go with that government bread.

[combat_boots]

[MrDem]

SHEPPY JUST SAID HE LIKE SAUSAGE! ROFLOL!

[Tarpon]

Make our day, do it you fools.

Read the history of the Democrat’s Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854.

[GoCards]

will reconciliation take time? It isnt just a snap is it?

[kimmie7]

I finally had to switch to CSpan3.

[RedMDer]

Yep he does. Must be the smokes.

[jra]

I don’t care if he’s gay, I don’t care if he’s a lib sympathizer...he tries too hard to foment controversy and fan flames.

I’d rather listen to Olbermann (!) and be able to disagree philososphically with his points than listen to Shep try to invent inane questions just to make his own show a spectacle.

[eater-of-toast]

Shep Smith on Fox just said, “I like sausage; I don’t want to see it being made.” Too. much. information!

[LdSentinal]

Reconciliation could last for weeks, maybe months. Each line in the bill could be fillibustered.

[maggief]

Zero is getting schooled by Barrasso. The doctor earned his degrees.
