“...as long as the Government isn’t being subsidized by the taxpayer....”

We pay the salaries and benefits of the members of Congress who are calling us a mob, un-American, racist, and Ku Klux Klan members.

I watched it live. He killed health care with that one line.
How can you argue with him? He’s right. The government can’t run things as well as the private sector.

Isn’t that what WE have been saying all along?? Get the Government out of our business! Thanks Barry for agreeing with us FINALLY! lol

"UPS and FedEx are doing just fine."

Perhaps this is precisely why Obama wants a government takeover? (Just in his little heart-of-hearts, ya' know?)

"By the time we're finished with you, you won't care."

Medicare and Medicaid are losing a lot more money than the post office. The education department is not having any success at improving students' grades. Social Security is going bankrupt. But, the best example of all wouldve been the congress. Just about everything they do puts the country in a bigger hole.

And the little publicized truth is that Congress is the reason that the post office is losing money.

I didnt know this till it was explained here a couple weeks ago. Congress requires the postal service to pre-pay employee health benefits to the tune of billions of dollars a year. That's the cause of the red ink.

It's probably a safe bet that the money is used for Ponzi-like purposes to pay other civil service obligations.

You mean, it had nothing to do with the "Fat" Elvis stamps?

I have to ask, am I just living in an alternate dimension?

Around here it’s the mail lady who’s polite, friendly, and never seems to mess things up, while the UPS guy is the dumbest waste of oxygen I’ve ever had the misfortune to be forced to deal with.

He’s never clued into ideas we tend to teach children soon as they’re old enough to understand...concepts like “If you need the attention of someone inside a home, ring the doorbell or knock on the door.” He just slings packages onto the carport and runs.

Which...we could almost forgive, except there’s a chair he could set them on.

Did I mention this crap has led to several of our packages being chewed or eaten, yes literally EATEN, by the neighbor’s roaming cur?

Never saw that episode. That is funny. Where’d those writers go. It would be nice to get some sitcoms back with good writers instead of American Idol and Dances With the Stars. Land-o-morons.

NOTE: Obama told healthcare opponents to "get out of the way," and scathingly asked if they knew medicare was "govt healthcare."

QUOTING OBAMA: ‘It’s the Post Office That’s Always Having Problems’............

Pardon me, Mr Prez, but do you know the Post Office is a "government agency?"

Until you get all the govt agencies straight in your mind, then I suggest "YOU get out of the way."

I don’t get my magazines about 10% of the time. I called to complain about not getting Barrons on Saturdays and the guy at the post office said, “ that’s the one most peoople complain about”... it’s like, “ Well, Duh”. That’s the one that is suppose to arrive every Saturday. Most of us don’t know when our other magazines are suppose to arrive. So we dont’ complain. Mail is another crappy government screw-up. So who wants to hand over health care to these puffed up idiots?

Obama is just another brain-dead Harvard graduate.
