ITEM Obama's approach to health care legislation is to cede the task of writing legislation to Democratic leaders and committee chairmen....then saying he wound up writing his own bill. (Scoff) ObamaCare has more sequels than Bela Lugosi. This will be voted into law when Dracula sees daylight.
ITEM Tonight, Obama will sound very, VERY conservative....Ronald Reagan incarnate---might even invoke the "shining city on the hill," and other Reaganisms. Like all sociopaths---Obama lives in the moment----doing and saying anything necessary to cover his ***. EVERYTHING he says has an expiration date. To sound conservative tonight, Ohaha probably hired a conservative speechwriter to write his speech......like he probably did for yesterday's school speech. The school speech he delivered yesterday was A FAR CRY from the one he/Rahm originally prepared.....the one he wanted to give.....to brainwash all the little kiddies into his agenda. Once again, grassroots furor threw him off his game. Tonight he thinks he's got the answers. Too bad he's gonna find out he's wrong.....again.
ITEM --- THE $5 BILLION HEALTHCARE GRAB OFF THE TOP Has anyone noticed that the major healthcare bills would take effect 2013? If there's a crisis, why such a long lead-time in phasing in the new regs?.......... The reason is that the first phase is Ohaha's grab for our wallets----Americans will be forced to pony up some of $5 billion before this atrocity even kicks in. Considering Ohaha's fascination with trillion$, that number could change.
ITEM ---- DEMOCRATS GO FOR BROKE One Democratic leadership aide who sat in on the Pelosi/Reid Biden/Obama briefing said that while Obama will offer support for a public option, he will not insist on it. “He’s going to say a public option is the best tool for reducing costs,” the aide said. “I think he’s going to be a bit noncommittal”........... This is a sop to Obama's lefty pals......he's got big problems with them after he threw Van Jones under the bus. Con artist pols will try to dupe the public-----(1) Pelosi is gaga over the bill's "trigger" that would invoke the public option; (2) the "Co-op" idea IS a public option since the gov't will run it.
ITEM ---AMNESTY CON JOB: Obama keeps saying "ObamaCare is not going to insure illegal aliens.......except the bill does not have verification provisions to make sure illegals can't apply and get benefits." Obama surely knows the courts have ruled repeatedly that hospitals cannot turn illegals away from emergency rooms.(And besides, Obama is planning to give illegals full amnesty by the time OC kicks in.)

IBD Exclusive Series: Government-Run Healthcare: A Prescription For Failure
Paying The Price For Illegal Care
IBD Editorials | August 21, 2009
FR Posted by Kaslin
Democrats are right that uncompensated emergency care for the uninsured is driving up costs. What they don't say is it's illegal immigrants who are bankrupting ERs, and the federal government is encouraging them.
Last decade, the Clinton administration added teeth to a little-known Health and Human Services Department regulation mandating that hospitals provide emergency treatment even to illegals. Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, or EMTALA, hospitals can't even ask for a patient's immigration status or ability to pay prior to delivering treatment. They also can't keep such uninsured patients waiting, even if their problem isn't an emergency. Nor can they discharge them until they're fully stabilized and have safe transportation. More, hospitals must post EMTALA signs in Spanish and English.
The law isn't limited to ERs. Hospitals must accept illegals at any facility on campus — including outpatient clinics and doctor's offices — located within 250 yards of the main buildings. Hospitals end up treating uninsured illegals for the sniffles and other nonurgent care, and pass that exorbitant cost on to the insured, the Government Accountability Office has found. Resulting overcrowding leads to delays in "care for patients with true emergency needs." (Excerpt) Read more at ibdeditorials.com .....
Will do.
I’m going to hide in Amy’s Poupourri thread, tell me when it’s safe to come out, I just can’t watch !!!
LOL, you will OD on ‘scent’! Might be an easier way to go than watching Zero ‘ahh, umm, ehh, his way through a speech though.
I watch everything, even brave going to DU and KOS to read!!
Dr. Schmoo’s Original Nubian Snake Oil
Good stuff................it cures hoarseness!
You would be better off drinking the Martinis before he starts speaking. There were excerpts of his speech posted on another thread and he will be lying his a** off(again)and giving the same snake oil pitch he has given before. He does not lay out any specifics, he doesn’t give any wording, he just once again keeps touting “his” plan without laying out any frickin’ plan. I truly hope someone gets to rebutt this a**hat.
I can’t stand to hear his voice, I turned off Rush today when he played a clip of the Bozo speaking, I just want to puke when I hear his voice.
He needs it----tonight is Ohaha's 29th speech on healthcare.
Use closed caption..:)
sw
People like you are very brave and needed. You can tell it all while we are still in a stupor from the hangover.
Count the “i’s” and religious references. Okay?
His 29th healthcare speech and he still hasn't got it down pat yet?
CHUG-A-LUGGIN' MARTINIS---glug, glug
Say whatever you want about President G.W. Bush---he was ALWAYS prompt.
Lol, not brave, just hate not seeing things ‘live’ if possible. Lost some hearing in my 30’s and HAVE to use caption and that takes concentration!
I suffer from the same Pavlovian malady ;-)
LOL!
I love that movie, my Dad took me to see it as a kid, Edward G Robinson’s last movie (he went home in the movie)
Dr. Obama’s Original Nubian Snake Oil
I pint rotgut vodka
I pint Alinsky flvored Kool-Aid
1 Log of steaming Horse$hit
1 cup mineral oil
Mix well. Serve to MSM commentators
Didn’t watch Obama.
My guess is he shucked and jived in the manner he is so well versed in, allowing him to wiggle in any direction without making a firm committment. Besides, the man, like Clinton, is a congential liar.
NOTHING he says can be taken at face value.
He will say and do anything to advance his Marxist agenda.
Listening to him to is as dangerous as listening to the devil. Watch what he DOES, not what he says.
