ObamaFail: The Healthcare News Conference
Columbia Conservative Examiner ^ | July 23, 2009 | Anthony G. Martin

Posted on 07/22/2009 10:02:10 PM PDT by Welshman007

During his news conference Wednesday night, Barack Obama failed to make a compelling case for the implementation of his much-touted government takeover of healthcare. Several reasons are readily apparent:

Lord willing Obamacare died tonight. Obamessiahs SCAM WOW no news no specifics one hour waste of time performance tonight killed any hopes of passage. The man is clearly out of his mind promoting delusions of socialist health care grandeur with no SPECIFICS, no plan, no way of paying for it and government lackey bureaucrats in Washington in control of all of our PRIVATE medical records making arbitrary life and death medical decisions based upon their idea as to who should live or die" Granddad and Grandma are too old for a hip replacement, too old for a pace maker, take a pain pill, lie down shut up and DIE! Oh, Susie, a mother of four has cancer, TOO COSTLY to treat, take a pain pill, lie down, shut up and DIE!

The American public is finally waking up to the fact that the SHAM WOW, SCAM WOW president who has no legit birth certificate is nothing but a glorified anti-American Marxist Socialist who HAS NO CLOTHES!

Never mind his attempt to ignite a race war and his slanderous claim against medical physicians.

A very good assessment. Obama very clearly and repeatedly refused to engage any of the difficult issues. He simply would not address the sticking points, just blandly reassured us that somehow he would take care of us peasants with healthcare for all at no extra cost. Just trust him.

He was not at all convincing, and his real audience—the wavering democrat congresscritters—were not likely to come away comforted.

The birth certificate issue will NEVER go away because Obamessiah has never, ever produced one and he along with his legal minions are doing everyghing in their power, including spending over a MILLION DOLLARS in legal fees to keep from producing a $10 copy of a legit birth certificate. Why do this IF YOU ARE NOT TRYING TO HIDE THE TRUTH FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

I see tonight’s over-reach train wreck as a twofer.

First it assign the death warrant to the Failed Government takeover of the Medical Industry AND it destroys the phony media orchestrated “image” he had as being a smart, intellectual, god-like being of perfection.

” his slanderous claim against medical physicians.”

I’m not a doctor, my wife’s an RN, though
but, I just couldn’t believe that blanket slam against all doctors.

And he wants them to join with him, incredible.

He stated he wouldn’t sign a bill if it wasn’t revenue neutral and if didn’t bring down health costs,
WELL, that pretty much eliminates the current bills!!!

I've never bought into the birth certificate controversy. It just seems too bizarre and unlikely.

On the other hand, it would seem to be a VERY small matter for him to put the matter to rest. So why hasn't he?

At the very least, Obama is proving to be his own worst enemy.

Well, I’ve got to say, it was a pathetic performance by Obama tonight. He definitely was not on his “A” game.

Healthcare is a big complex piece of the economy and people’s lives. It is so absurd to think that we’re going to overhaul healthcare, provide for the uninsured, provide better quality care at a lower cost, and do all this without any dislocations or unintended consequences.

I’m alarmed at the talk recently about “end of life” counseling. What’s that all about?

And what’s all this talk about kids who need surgery just have allergies, and should be treated for allergies?

And what’s this talk about doctors wanting to perform surgery when somebody just needs allergy meds or vitamins? And that doctors only perform surgery to get more money from the allegedly corrupt existing healthcare system??????

And what’s with this talk of implying that there are only two choices — Obama’s way or the status quo? Most conservatives agree that changes should be made in healthcare access and funding. But almost all conservatives, and apparently even moderates and liberals, are squeamish about a gargantuan government bureaucracy making the healthcare decisions for all of us.

I always quip that it's because his birth certificate contains an exceedingly embarrassing typo -- such as listing his race as "white" or his gender as "female". :-)

He's just vain enough to let it get to him...

Cheers!

Obama's *third* autobiography is going to be called, "I'm OK, You Suck." /sarc>

Cheers!

Moslems often are.

"Lord willing Obamacare died tonight."

The Dr. Evil Version of Obama Care has died I believe.

Now (if we are really luck) the Democrats will circle the wagons and pass the "Mini-me" version which will be a bunch of regulations that will never be enforced because they will have no method of enforcement written into the bill.

Or as Shakespeare said: “A tale told by an idiot -- full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”

The explosion will occur when the libs in DC and the msm realize that zero’s ship is sinking with them on it. They will suddenly come out saying that they were duped and let him go down by himself. The longer they wait the more damage will be done to them politically. There will be some dem who will realize that zero is going to kill his chance of being reelected, then all hell will break lose. IMHO.

Excerpt:

Obama obviously still has an immature, thin skin for someone in public office. He simply can't get over the fact that Republicans are telling the truth about this proposed disaster for our nation and its finances, and he seems to think S.C. Senator Jim DeMint wants the healthcare proposal to fail 'just so Obama can meet his Waterloo.'

What a joke. That response is not one of an adult but of an adolescent who never grew up. Obama claims 'this is not about me,' yet when anyone criticizes it, it suddenly becomes 'all about him...'
