ABC ObamaCare Special Turns Into Presidential Filibuster
Newsbusters.com ^

Posted on 06/25/2009 5:51:48 AM PDT by coachep95

Call this a teachable moment, but even with ABC’s best-laid plans to kickstart the debate about health care reform and not allow the “Prescription for America” special to become an “infomercial,” as many have complained - the president spent more than twice as much time as his questioners vaguely answering or not answering the questions asked of him. But the network consistently presented the event as part of the need to fix a “broken system.” When asked, every one of the 164 hand-picked audience members said they felt that health care needed to be changed.

Wednesday nights are our night to watch tv.
We wait for “Wipeout” and “I Survived a Japanese Gameshow”

Last night, I had a toothache and ran upstairs to get some Advil when I heard my girls screaming, “My Eyes!”

I ran back down for the beginning of the “Shamwow-Obama style” infomercial.

Bad.

Don’t you all find it HILARIOUS that Sanford returned from beyond yesterday and held his confessional/news conference? He totally upstaged The One’s infomercial. As if evil Karl Rove planned it all!

“Pure, 100% PROPAGANDA that even Hitler would be proud of....”

Whether intended or not, the consequence of government takeover of healthcare will be a nice, tidy thinning of the aging Boomer population without even having to call in Dr. Kevorkian! The officious stamp of a government bureaucrat will determine whether or not you or your loved ones “deserve” lifesaving treatment. Abortion and euthanasia will be tied up in one convenient bundle. Get rid of the unwanted at both the beginning AND end of life, all under the guise of “health” care. Eugenics will have been effectifely achieved because only the healthcare of the youngest and fittest will be sanctioned/financed by the government. As you suggested, reminds us of when gas chambers were really knowns as “baths,” “resettlement” was really deportation and murder, and the “final solution” was the Holocaust. I wonder what creative euphemisms THIS Leftist government will come up with? Will last place on a waiting list be “adjusted prioritization” or some other rotgut term?

No, just a sham. The WOW comes from people realizing how useless this clown really is...but since you mention it...
