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 predict his approval rating will be at least one point lower, on 9/11. And at least another point, probably two, on 9/18.

EVERY TIME HE MAKES A SPEECH HIS RATINGS DROP AND HE JUST MANAGES TO GET BOTH SIDES PISSED OFF.

OR... he could make the speech and as you say turn more people against him.

At any rate, it should be interesting to hear what the teleprompter is thinking.

His approval ratings are at an all-time low for a reason.

Up the deficit by 2 Trillion? Whoops
800B stimulus ineffective? Whoops
Can't pay on Cash for Clunkers? Whoops
Unemployment pushing 10%? Whoops
Record number of people on food stamps? Whoops

Let's go after the CIA, hire people that call Republicans a**holes, ignore mounting Afghan deaths, stay in $40,000 per week resorts, the list is endless. Another bullsh*t flowery speech with “soaring rhetoric” will not change the track record of this failed presidency one bit.

There is no reframing the debate. Keep your hands off of my healthcare how much clearer can the American electorate get? If you touch it you pay at the ballot box in 2010 and 2012!

Sure. Because the public isn’t tired of his face enough as it is. Go ahead. Irritate them with yet another address.

They should wear duct tape over their mouths signifing how they have been shut out of any debate on healthcare and make it known going in what is up. They can carry it in their pockets and do it after sitting down so as not to draw attention but still be seen on TV.

His true motive is he thinks it is inherently unfair that some can afford high quality health care and some cannot.

Therefore, the money must be taken from those that can afford it (so they can't afford it anymore) and used to pay for those that can't afford it.

Same goes for...

Cars
Houses
Private Property
Education
etc.

In Obamastan all residents are of equal means ruled by one enlightened ruler who ensures no one gets more than another.

Except for him of course. He can have anything.

Your analysis works for me.

Anyone has been finding out how empty the suit really is, a fact that almost 50 percent of voters last November knew for a fact. Andy - in A Face in the Crowd - ended everything with an open mike event - Obama just being ‘transparent’ e.g. lying about what’s in the reform bill - America’s picked that up.

It will be a real hat trick if he can change minds just by giving a speech, he seems to have limited options given what the left wants and that the right doesn’t want anything.

I wonder if this will be a night session of congress so we can get the prime time TV coverage.

Of course. The arrogant clown thinks the whole country is going to be hanging on his every "uh"....I wonder when the TV sweeps week is?

Yes he did, apparently. I stand corrected. I was stationed overseas then - must have missed it. I was also surprised to learn that Carter spoke to a JSC about the energy "crisis", which I do remember thinking back on it. And I understand that that Kennedy gave one on the space program - as a young child at the time - I must have been otherwise engaged - exactly how I'll be for Obama's turn at it.

As a Stargate fan, I think you’d be nuts to skip out on that for Obama’s joint address.

If anyone makes a mistake and watches the latest lies pouring out of the mouth of “Mack Daddy the Zebra” see if there is anytime during the lie fest that he looks directly at the camera or if his eyes are always looking somewhere else.

No, just a nasty rumor.

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)
+++++++++++++++

I like this idea...they are totally and completely disregarding, insulting and cajoling this nation. Time we paid them back in kind by disrespecting the normally respectful office of the POTUS, and skipped this junior high pep rally.

Excellent.
