Obama Readies (Another) Speech As Health Care Picks Up Steam
Yahoo News/TIME ^ | 9/8/09 | By MICHAEL SCHERER AND KAREN TUMULTY / WASHINGTON

Posted on 09/08/2009 6:28:22 AM PDT by mazda77

This is what Barack Obama does. Back him into a corner, get the press all wee-weed up, send his polls ratings plummeting and the aging basketball player responds again and again with the same move: he delivers a major speech. And why not? It keeps working. It's the thing that first introduced him to the nation, at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. It is what extricated him from the Jeremiah Wright mess during the campaign. It has become the central method of his foreign policy push, in Prague, Cairo, Moscow and Accra.

The gloss is off the One. Prof. Hill even last night gave up on the Van Jones didn’t know what he was signing defense when confronted with the news that the 9/11 petitioners admittently called him personally for the endorsement to make sure he knew what he was supporting. He even seemed to imply it was stupid for the WH to have him obviously pass around proper vetting before hiring him. I had to pick my jaw up off the floor.

Anyone think these two could get their faces any farther up in between Obamas’ cheeks, than they already are?

The only “steam” it’s picking up is from the pot starting to boil across the country.

Read the whole article because they also agree he is going too far and point out that everytime he gets in front of a camera on this issue, his support goes down.

"...he delivers a major speech. And why not? It keeps working."

Hopefully, sooner rather than later, people will wise up.

Actually, his constant speech making is having the opposite effect - people are tired of his narcissistic mug being in their faces all the time, telling them how great he is and how dumb they are.

No matter how hard the Long Legged Mack Daddy and the MSN try to spin this, they are not going to be able to cover up the smell.

Narcissistic American Idol Syndrome, Snake Oil Salesman, Team Hypnosis, Classroom Talking Head—whatever-—he thinks it’s helping him...it’s not. People recognize delusional behavior when they see it.

Fail-safe=backdoor. Who sets the standards to determine is private insurers "change their way of doing business?"

The "fail-safe" option is just a way for the spineless moderates to support a publica option without doing so openly.

We must stop this bill or we will have single payer health care within the decade.

The trigger is just code for cover and CYA.

The trigger is as relavant as CFR. The game was rigged LONG before the law passed.

The trigger for obamacare is done long before obamacare is signed.

“The only “steam” it’s picking up is from the pot starting to boil across the country.”

City folks sometimes confuse the moisture given off by fresh manure on a cold winter day as “steam”.

“The speech is less a recalibration of his health-care effort than a restatement of purpose. Aides caution that he will neither demand a so-called public-health-insurance option nor abandon his desire to see one achieved. He will not give up his quest for a bipartisan compromise in the Senate, nor will he vow to abandon the possible use of parliamentary procedures that would allow Democrats to pass major portions of reform with just 51 Senate votes.”

So he is appearing on T.V. to let us know he still can’t decide? Is this going to help anyone figure out this mess?
