From the tone of the article I think the writer was trying to make Hillary sound good, Obama better, but for those of us who know her history this is very familiar behavior for her.

Once could be an oversight, a second time, it is for real.

Obama sympathized with the unfairness of the situation. All Americans, he said, should have access to health insurance — something he said he's committed to doing as president.

"I mean, it like I have to give MY money. I'll just take it. It's really easy to do. People will either pay for his medical care or go to prison. See, it's simple.

Who else wants free money?"

Shillary is totally disconnected, and couldn’t care less. She and her minions pulled the no-tip stunt at Letchworth State Park during her senate run. Our reservations and everybody else’s at the Glen Iris were put off so she and her crew (and secret service agents) could dine there. When we finally were allowed in after she left, our waitress was steamed. She claimed no one left any tips, but they sent a few dollars in to the chef.

Absolutely true. It’s just the way it is. But I think Hillary hears about this and tries to use it as evidence that the Bush Economy is crushing the lives of the little people. Because she doesn’t understand the way most people live, and have lived for a long time.

A tip? This isn’t the way it works! The way it works is:

1. Give Hillary money so she can buy power and live out her idea of herself as Supreme Ruler

2. She then takes money from everyone and doles it back out to those who put her in power and who she needs to keep her there next time she has to degrade herself by asking for votes.

See, you freepers who sent the waitress the tips that Hillary didn’t leave just fulfilled Hillary’s concept of how things should be. She never gives her own money, everyone else gives theirs.

I personally know a few people who could have afforded health insurance and chose to spend the money for fun things. Disaster struck a couple of these people health wise, now one is disabled, unable to work. One died and his spouse has a new house,a new car and a hospital bill she can never pay.

It's hard to have sympathy for these people.

We ate at a Maid Rite for the first time in at least 40years. I had forgotten what their specialty was. OK with mustard and pickles.
Where do we send the tip. I tipped the waitress $5 at Maid-Rite. My wife says I over tip,,but the people working in that kind of place are usually living pay check to pay check. They are competition for jobs with illegals..especially in health care, like this lady in Iowa.
Hillary will only make this ladies life worse and she started with the visit.
Where do we send the tip?
Let’s make this lady famous for a year.

I’ll have to see if I can find some sort of way of getting money to her. I dont want to post her address or anything like that. Maybe her place of employment.

She doesn't learn from her mistakes. I wonder if another "send a dollar to the waitress" is in order.

I'm sorry for being an ass, but anyone that says " I got her autograph. That's something I'll treasure forever" aint gettin' nothin' from me!

My standard rule of thumb is when I’m comped any item, food or beverage, I leave a proportionate tip based on the price of the item. And it’s generally 20%.

Here’s a woman that touts her wealth in public, bleats how much she cares for the ‘working folk’, and she stiffs this woman?

Libs anger me, but not sure which angers me more...the Libs spewing their socialism or the people that are so easily tuned in to the siren song.

When you receive a free meal in a restaurant or your bill is comp-ed, you are still expected to tip the wait staff at the price the meal would have been had you paid. It is the decent and kind thing to do.

Even more so if you are a prominent person.

Always has a second job?

I knew a gal at my former employer who was a supervisor in the tax dept at the corp office, pulling down real good salary. She was also a waitress at a local upscale restaurant working 3 and 4 nights a week. Why? She said she enjoys it and makes good bucks on tips plus it helped her pay for her son to go to an upscale private school called Cranbrook and then on to college........She was a single mom too.
