Obama Still Working on Health Care Speech

White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs told reporters on Air Force One this morning that President Obama has not yet put the finishing touches on his planned address this evening to a joint session of Congress.

"He's still working on it," Gibbs said. "…he came back from Camp David Monday with many handwritten pages of notes that he gave to the speechwriters. He got another draft incorporating more edits last night, and worked on it with the speechwriters before he left this morning. So my sense is he'll be tinkering with this some this afternoon, but my sense is this thing will be locked sometime this afternoon."

Copying someone else's speech on the way into Congress - what kind of example is that for the school children?

Can’t even figure out the speech much less a decent plan. Idiot. Fraud.

You can see why he didn’t publish “a lot” in the Harvard Law Review. Oh, where did I put that thesis?

Nikola tells me that today, 9/9/09, may become known as: ‘The Day Barack Obama’s Mojo Cratered’.

I don’t believe for one second that he wrote one word of that speech or any other speech he’s given. This is a man that doesn’t work.

He's working on the biggest DOUBLE TALK speech of his life!

I wonder how many will watch it? I bet his numbers are WAY down!

I give Marxist Obama full credit for a few statements..."...Special Olympics, or something...", "...all 57 states...", and his little reversion to what he really thinks w Joe the plumber.

(But to make your point, Mister Obama's handlers and political officers most likely take care of the speech writing and in fact, all that complicated policy and presidential stuff for him.)

Copying someone else's speech on the way into Congress...

Well, Hitler's speeches were written in German, so Obama has to translate it! ;^)

Hitler was a Austrian....

So I guess 0bambi got it translated from the original Austrian language.

Did anybody tell the crazies over at HuffPO? They were fussing about Sarah Palin’s alleged inability “to put two cohesive sentences together” when referencing her op-ed piece that was supposedly written by other writers. Surely they want to fuss about Obama’s inability to put together a speech without the help of speech writers.

” So I guess 0bambi got it translated from the original Austrian language.”

Wicked...if W had said that it would have replaced potatoe in the leftist lexicon of dumb things said by Republicans...which is pretty funny, because that wasn’t even his biggest bonehead statement...

You know, if you're going to give a highly unusual address to a joint session of Congress, you really should have it completed before the day you give it.

I get the feeling that the fact that Obama is still working on it is supposed to impress us - just like Clinton's cram sessions.
