Obama's appeal: Get involved (Barf Alert!)
Seattle Times ^ | 07/02/09 | Noam Levey

WASHINGTON — With lawmakers on Capitol Hill struggling to reconcile clashing views on overhauling the nation's health-care system, President Obama made a new appeal to the public Wednesday not to let Congress put off action on his top legislative priority. "In order to make it happen, I'm going to need ordinary Americans to stand up and say, now's the time," Obama said at a town-hall-style forum at Northern Virginia Community College in the Washington, D.C., suburb of Annandale, Va. "If Congress thinks that the American people don't want to see change, frankly the lobbyists and the special interests will end up winning the day."

Wednesday's town-hall meeting was Obama's third grass-roots forum devoted to health care in the last three weeks.

...And what a sham it was!....All questions from groups supporting Obama! What a damn joke!

He is stating now that he doesn’t care what Congress says. He wants his way and that’s all there is to it. It’s a slap in the face at our way of running our country. Not that Congress makes all the right decisions but it’s our government, not his. He’s going to ruin this country if he hasn’t already. One thing he doesn’t understand.....the American people can only be pushed so far.

Get involved? Right, as if congress cares what the public thinks. Did the flood of calls into Washington have any affect on the climate bill vote? I have a better way to get involved. March on washington and throw the bums out.

Obama is becoming more and more like Lenin.

My son goes to NVCC. What a diverse place! It seems to be mostly blacks, Koreans, Chinese and Mooslems. No wonder they like Obama. “We will take away the money and power from da White Man and give it to you!”

Standing ovation.

"In order to make it happen, I'm going to need ordinary Americans to stand up and say, now's the time,"

Meanwhile, those who attend the second round of Tea Party rallies over the next few days to say "Not only is now not the time of Obamunism, there will never be a time" will be observed by the FBI as likely terrorists.

I prefer using the Honduran approach in dealing with his style of governance.

“Obama said at a town-hall-style forum at Northern Virginia Community College”

Obama said at a town-hall-style infomercial at Northern Virginia Community College

There, fixed it.

Questions in these “town hall meetings” are about as spontaneous as what you’ll hear in a Kevin Trudeau interview as he hawks one of his “they don’t want you to know about” books.

OK! I hear you Bambi! Loud and clear! Let me give it a shot. I’m standing up and saying:

“Now is the time to tar and feather your inexperienced marxist butt and ride you out of town on a rail!”

You know it’s bad when even Helen Thomas can’t take it any more.

I don’t know who is advising Urkel but his infomercials are a joke to the 56 million who didn’t vote for him!

The time will be when he starts doing extra-constitutional things with executive orders. For instance; if congress fails to pass cap & trade and he orders the EPA to do it in a regulatory fashion.
