WASHINGTON -- President Obama yesterday rolled out the red carpet -- and handed out doctors' white coats as well, just so nobody missed his hard-sell health-care message.
In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama.
A sea of 150 white-coated doctors, all enthusiastically supportive of the president and representing all 50 states, looked as if they were at a costume party as they posed in the Rose Garden before hearing Obama's pitch for the Democratic overhaul bills moving through Congress.
OOPS! A crowd of 150 doctors gathers in the Rose Garden to support the health-care overhaul -- as White House staffers scramble to hand out camera-ready white coats to those who forgot their own.
The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image.
But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses.
So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area...

PATHETIC!
How much did it cost the taxpayers to have those lab coats prepared in advance?
Who in the White House orchestrates all these photo ops? This must be at least one full time, not to mention very demanding job. Let’s find out who is in charge of that. I am very curious.
Why are most of these doctors Black? Something is fishy.

"Hi, Doctor Nick!"
The same person who dresses MObama.....
The czar of white coats?????
They had two men, two women, a white, a black, a hispanic, and a pony-tail guy.
“Diversity is strength”
(and war is peace, etc)
Ah, the puppets are on display. I saw a photo the other day on this (after everyone donned their lab coat) and somehow I knew then this was a phony deal. We have a very stupid citizenry to believe such a hoax.
How many were outside protesting? That’s what I thought.
I want a second opinion.
Diversity is Racial Profiling.
Just loved it when the messiah asked....don’t you all look spiffy in your white coats.
Anyone willing to play stooge to Obama is nothing more than a stooge.
How many of the Doctors at yesterday’s event had their trip to DC paid for by the AMA?

This President is the BIGGEST PHONY, a FRAUD, and a Community Organizing PUNK!
Wonder if any of those people were really doctors. And doctors of what? Just because they have Doctor in front of there name, doesn’t make them a medical doctor. Maybe they all are, but, it would be interesting to find out.
Are we even sure everybody in that crowd was a practicing physician? How many had been disciplined by their state boards? How many had been denied malpractice insurance, or were paying extremely high rates in order to continue practice? Were they all GPs, or were they made up of a preponderance of specialists in some field or another?
So many questions, that would remain unsanswered, perhaps forever.
If I could, I don’t know how, I would make a youtube vid, with this photo op and the music from Funny Farm playing. Any freeper know how???
I'm not buying!
