BELGRADE, Mont. President Barack Obama on Friday denounced what he suggested was news media overemphasis on scenes of angry protesters at town-hall meetings on health care. "TV loves a ruckus," Obama said.
Trying to sell his overhaul plan amid an increasingly noisy partisan debate, Obama told a town hall-style meeting in an airport hangar, "What you haven't seen on TV and what makes me proud are the many constructive meetings going on all over the country."
He said Americans are being held hostage by health insurance companies that deny coverage based on pre-existing conditions or cancel coverage when people get sick.

Well from his own lips, we have learned that he doesn't know the following:
1. The correct number of US states.
2. What a price/earnings ratio is.
3. What's in the House healthcare bill.
4. What's in the Cap & Trade Bill.
5. What's in the Stimulus package.
6. That people from Austria don't speak Austrian.
7. That increasing government debt beyond anything ever contemplated before cannot create economic prosperity.
8. That likening government run healthcare to the post-office doesn't strengthen his case.
9. That the very purpose of the US Constitution is to severely restrict the power of government to control our lives and confiscate our stuff.
10. How to ad lib a gaffe-free sentence when his teleprompter doesn't tell him what to say.
the audicity of evil.
well, you know what I mean.
True. I should have said is there ‘anything this guy doesn’t THINK he knows?’
I happen to think he’s just barely north of being a DOLT and I don’t believe he will one day ride off into the sunset and live happily ever after.
I’ll wait for the news clips later here too.. I’m watching the 91st PGA, contemplating a beer run and dip in the pool later.
if you think this stuff now is a rukus, wait until the tax resisters kick in when Obama Abortion Care starts feeding off of public money.
Everyone should stop calling the plan health care and start calling it Abortion Care. That will screw things up worse than those death panel rumors.
Which reminds me of the magnificent quote of Ronaldus Magnus:
“It isn’t that liberals are ignorant - it’s just that they know so much that isn’t so.”

His mother was living in Jakarta, Indonesia when she became ill and was misdiagnosed. By the time she got back to the States, I’ve read she was in an advanced stage of ovarian cancer.
It’s not as if she became sick here and nobody would see her. It bothers me more than I can say that he uses his own mother this way.
He does look like Erkel.....
Ah yes. The Cindy Sheehan playbook. Utilize dead relatives to your utmost advantage. Vilify Ann Coulter when she calls you on it.
