Obama to Address Health Care at Joint Session of Congress 9/9
Abc News ^ | 9/2/09 | ABC News

Posted on 09/02/2009 12:32:27 PM PDT by Shellybenoit

President Obama will address a joint session of Congress on Sept 9.

This comes as the White House has been signaling publicly that they are ready to take charge of the health care debate.

So, this settles the 5th of the 5 health care strategy questions I laid out earlier on this blog today. The other 4 remain.

- George Stephanopoulos

I wonder if the GOP will ask for some rebuttal time

Good suggestion there.

The slumbering giant is really stirring now, and he's waking up hopping mad.

I hope so Jeff, but I just don't know if there will be the necessary 'critical mass' until he pushes his agenda through. I unfortunately believe that he will push it through with the willing assistance of the media and get-along RINOs. You don't know how much I hope to be wrong here.

Got bad feelings about the next 12 months man, bad feelings.

If I’m a congresscritter I’d send my regrets as that’s the day I planned to change the air in my tires.

I don't think he will get all he wants. I do know that the Dems and Obama must get some sort of health reform bill through just to save face. They don't need any Rep votes. I am not going to surrender. I am working here in VA on the November elections for governor and delegates. I am also girding my loins for the amnesty fight early next year.

What are you doing in this fight? I am off in a few minutes to demonstrate against Connolly.

This Obama Chief speech writer is a 27 years old kid. What you get from a 27 years old liberal speech is a delusional world filled of unicorns and totally detached from reality. There should be a law against hiring President staff who are less than 35 years old.

“I can’t - in my lifetime - remember when a President addressed a joint session of congress (SOTU address excepted), when there wasn’t either a war looming or some other national crisis either just past or on the horizon.”

I think it is his way of trying to fool people into thinking there is a crisis. He wants to try and create one (where one does not exist). I have never had an issue with health care. He wants to give it free to 30M+ people and says that won't cost anymore money. What a load of horse hockey.

You said on another thread (now locked):
Comment: I was at the capitol today and the buzz was Obama is seeking the address to the congress to resign.

Your response:I heard that too - Obama to address America and Congress in order to resign due to his epic failures. I don't know if it's tru or not, but the birdie is usually right.

Care to elaborate?

Says Tom Maguire:

This is classic Obama, who has made a carer of positioning himself as the voice of calm reason intermediating between the loonies of the left (Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright) and the crazies of the right (Sen. Tom Coburn, his unrepentant racist grandmother). Obama will want to assure moderates and centrists that he is truly one of them by pitching some part of the Pelosi-Reid agenda aside.

However! We will see if the “Fool me once” rule is invoked by the target centrist audience. If it is, the result for Obama could be disastrous - if he manages to anger lefties without placating moderates, he may end up losing more support than he gains.

scary stuff. Biden isn’t strong enough to take over. Eww. With that in mind, I would like further clarification as well.

Don’t like the 9,9,9 thing. Those are just upside down sixes. Another attack looming?

God, I hope not. Then again, the terrorists speak in code. Hmmm.

Sheeesh. Another speech. The man is like a lounge singer with one song in his repertoire.

“It may very well backfire on him.”

I agree. Even some Dems have figured out you can't believe anything the man says.

What do you do with a pathological liar?

Stop listening.

LISTEN FOLKS!
WE NEED TO GET A HOLD OF OUR REPUBLICAN/CONSERVATIVE MEMBERS/LEADERS OF CONGRESS AND ASK THEM TO NOT SHOW AT THIS JOINT SESSION. DEMINT AND OTHERS NEED TO SPEAR HEAD THIS. WE NEED TO ASK THEM TO NOT SUPPORT THIS PROPAGANDA SPEWING FROM THE DEMS. (and yes, I am yelling)

Look for ratings to be lower than a rerun of “Who’s the Boss”.

You remember when MC Hammer broke? When he was the coolest hottest thing on the planet?

Remember how broke he became and how irrelevant he was to anyone when they came out with his Saturday morning cartoon?

Yeah, it’s like that.
