"White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters Friday that when Obama returns from vacation Aug. 30, he will reengage in the healthcare fight with a compelling message."

O: "This, uh, health, uh, insurance, uh, care, uh, death panel, uh, debate is just a wee bit important. I, uh, will really, uh, really, engage in it, when I, uh, get back from, uh, vacation."

Conservative opponents of the overhaul increasingly use a simple, understandable message: Government-forced cost reductions will restrict treatments, imperiling the ill and elderly.

It's not just a propaganda slogan delivery battle. Opponents of the overhaul point to and read specific sections of HR 3200, the only version of the bill available, and see frightening things. I have yet to see a supporter of the healthcare initiative point to suspicious parts of the bill and explain why they mean something different and less threatening. That would be the way to go about it, but its tough, because the bill really does have some damning language in it. Instead, we get vague reassurances that the bill will mean something different, especially from Obozo.

When your $ 10 Trillion in debt ( or more ) your bankrupt, and our nation is close to the point where we won't be able to borrow anymore, and service the debt...

Oh come on!! Everybody knows you can spend/borrow your way out of debt. /S

As with all Liberals in love with their ideas and themselves...its always a problem with the “presentation” to the peasants....never the ideas themselves....

The first outrage, as far as I am concerned, was when he INSISTED that it had to be passed in 2 weeks! What an abomination!
