WASHINGTON, July 22 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama shifts his effort to convince the American people healthcare reform is the right thing to do right now to prime time Wednesday.

In an evening news conference, Obama is expected to outline the case for healthcare reform as well as provide an update on what has been accomplished since he took office in January.

White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel told The New York Times Obama intends to use the news conference as a "six-month report card," to talk about "how we rescued the economy from the worst recession" and the legislative agenda moving forward, including health care and energy legislation.

If he rescues health care like he rescued the economy....We all die faster. That is his plan. Medicare is bankrupt and he wants to roll all health care in to medicare and ration it out. Remember the only cure for liberal failure is ....More liberalism.

So at this point the best he can come up with is “Take ownership of the economy and declare it saved ?”

They are in disarray.

While I don’t normally condone foul language, I believe your question is MORE than appropriate!

Answer: YES! Or maybe we are?

If he uses the line “We rescued the economy.” It will become his anti-motto like “Mission Accomplished” followed Bush. As employment numbers and inflation stats pile on, he'll have this stupid statement hanging over him like Damocles’ sword.

What he did was prolong the recession by making people think the government was going to take care of them and then not doing a damn thing for them! We’d have been better off if he’d done and said (especially “said”) nothing!

Yep. People sitting at home after losing their job and finding no new prospects will not appreciate how the economy was “rescued”.
