Obama Prepares Three Speeches Ahead of Health-Care Ruling
The Wall Street Journal ^ | June 27, 2012 | Carol E. Lee

The White House has kept its preparations for the Supreme Court’s decision on President Barack Obama’s health care law close to the vest. Mr. Obama, White House press secretary Jay Carney said Wednesday, the West Wing is merely “waiting for an opinion, a decision, and we’ll assess.”

But Mr. Obama has been doing more than sitting back and waiting. The president has three separate speeches prepared in anticipation of the ruling on his signature legislative achievement, a person familiar with them said.

One of the speeches addresses a complete overturn of the law, while another is crafted as if the court strikes down the law’s individual mandate but upholds other provisions. The third speech, for if the court upholds the entire law, is more celebratory, according to this person.

BS.

He has known for some time what the outcome is going to be
by leaks from his liberal buddies on the court.

His performance tomorrow will be a case study in narcissism.

job is to never tell the truth when a lie will suffice.

I hope the boy throws another tantrum like he did after SCOTUS’s illegal alien decision and tells Fat Janet to instruct all doctors to refuse to see patients.

I don't think he has the balls to say he lost his "signature" jam down your throat fiasco.

This was supposed to be his legacy.

I'd like to see the smile on Hillary's face when the Supremes announce their decision.

I truly think it will be a unanimous decision voiding Obamacare TOTALLY and that Congress will also be reprimanded by the court.

First of all, I don’t want/need to hear his comments.

Secondly, I’ll bet each speech has him taking credit and claiming it is the outcome he hoped for.

I used to think that he can take both sides of any issue, now he appears to be taking three sides to an issue. He IS amazing! How many others can do that?

In all three speeches, the most common words will be “I”, “my”, “me” and “fair”.

Wouldn’t it be a hoot, in the short hour between the release of the decision and his blatherfest, the wrong speech got loaded into TOTUS? “Uhhhhhhhh...”

This isn’t all that strange, cynical though it may be. Newspapers used to do it all of the time, as in the famous “Dewey beats Truman” headline. You’ve got to remember to print the right story. Nowadays, someone has to remember to program TOTUS with the proper speech.

“Press 1 for speech if law upheld, Press 2 for mandate struck but rest of law left alone, Press 3 for law struck down completely.”

I can’t help but see Palpatine before the Senate. Obama will declare the Republicans are obstructing and won’t let him govern. Will declare that he needs “emergency” powers to allow him to do his job and declare martial law. (I hope this is just my worst fears but I put nothing past the Marxist in Chief)

““I”, “my”, “me”

Pretty much. Don’t forget “ummm” before each sentence.

This is the only speech I want to hear from Obama.

Spoiled rotten affirmative action ratfink preparing a speech that blames Republicans for everything that moves. After all, he’s never ever responsible for anything that happens, EVER!
