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.

Thanks for sharing this. I hear these stories all the time. I know someone right now (both laid off) awaiting what the bank is going to do (after the people filled out FOUR 6-7 pages of the homeowners mod apps) to no avail of them ever saying the bank got them.They certified mailed the package a fifth time and got so frustrated they called their closing attorney for some relief. They were told 'take a number.' and report to the OCC.

Suddenly the bank put them on a three month reduced payment plan and then at the third month sent bill collector notices and reported 30 day delinquent on their credit report.It has been PURE HELL for them and many others I speak with (as I am sure you know well.)

Go here and file a complaint. and call the homeowners assistance team DAILY.By law they cannot report you to the credit agencies while you are in contact remedy but they will, ignore it and deal with it later... These banks are sitting on a potload of money to help YOU and you should qual for a traditional modification.

The Friends showed a clip of David Hasselhoff on The View yesterday. He suggested that Barry sing and dance tonight...because he is boring. The View hens looked shocked.

. . . . . . as well as provide an update on what has been accomplished since he took office in January.

I can answer THAT one!!

"Since taking office in January (pause for the TelePromter to catch up), my administration has bankrupted America, mortgaged your (pause for the TelePrompter to catch up) children's and grandchildren's future by spending more money than (pause for the TelePrompter to catch up) has EVER existed in the world, been the major reason that (pause for . . . . . you know the rest!) unemployment has continued to rise, weakened America's defense (pause . . . . ) establishment, appeased America's enemies in the Middle East, obstructed all efforts to force me to (pause . . . . ) reveal where I was REALLY born and Michelle and (pause . . . ) I had a GREAT $250,000+ date in New York City on YOUR dime!!

Oh, and you need my comprehensive health care plan because (pause . . . . ) I said so!"

“...Why is the president and the Congress discussing an overpriced, “one-size-fits-all” plan that affects ALL Americans in order to accommodate a handful of Americans??....”

To answer your question bluntly, it’s right out of the “Marxist Book” of how to take over a country. This guy is a radical narcissist who is filled with hatred towards this country. He will not be happy until this country is completely ruled by a tyrannical government.

You may think that this sounds extreme, but it is true. His father was a Muslim and his Mom and Grandmother were Marxists. He attended a “Church” based on American hatred and surrounded by angry, American hating people. Look at his track record on Guns, Abortion, organizing, etc. You become like what you hand around...to believe otherwise is naive.

If you don’t believe me do the research and listen to his speeches...he completely lies and nothing out of his mouth has a grain of truth.I refuse to [even] watch him because his speeches are exactly the same: Blame, Hope, Fear and change for better. Sound familiar? If not check out Chavez, Castro, Stalin, etc....they use the SAME tactics! That should be the first indication. I could go on and on, but if you do more research on this radical Fascist you’ll see his “true colors”. He ain’t stupid, he knows exactly what he is doing....his plans are to head this government and country to a totalitarian regime and oppress those selfish, evil, spoiled Americans!

Listening to the won insist that the American people want his brand of health care is proof he has no clue.

His insistence that he doesn’t know what is in the bill is even more shocking.

Imagine if President Bush ever ever made such an admission.

Your exactly right Sonic. The dembots, and RINOs, have been so dumbed down and propagandized they will simply continue to blame it all on Bush. Don’t get me wrong, he is as much responsible for all that’s happening right now as the commie demrats. But they have demonized him to the point that he is the only entity rank and file dembots blame. And listening to him since he left office leads me to believe he was the colossal idiot the demrats always said he was—or he was in on the game from the start.

How all this will play out remains to be seen. But I believe the left will not give up its hold on the government even if it is rejected at the ballot box. Of course, I continue to hope for a peaceful political solution, but it looks less and less likely as time goes on.

"Republican rebuttle"

This would be a great fit and issue for Bobby Jindal to redeem his previous rebuttal performance. The GOP should demand it.

The little ballerina has the worst case of short man’s syndrome I’ve ever seen. By the way, sorry I can’t watch BO on TV tonight. Have important things to do, like A) get rid of belly button lint B)scrub under the rim of the toilet C)get my BC out of my files and double check where I was born. Like BO, I often forget which hospital I was born in.
