White House's botched 'op'
New York Post ^ | October 6, 2009 | CHARLES HURT

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...

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.

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.

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.

Gee, did the Party Propaganda Ministry bother telling us about all the Doctors that were in Washington DC back on October 1st to oppose this “Health Care” takeover? Those doctors paid their own way, and expressed their own opinions.

How many of the Doctors at yesterday’s event had their trip to DC paid for by the AMA?

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.

Everything is "fabricated," from the use of the teleprompter instead of speech from the heart to handing out coats to Doctors so they'll "look good" in a photo op. I understand marketing ... ran a big int'l marketing department for years. Good marketing promotes a good product. Fabrication is what you do when you've got a lousy product. (Which I refused to "sell"). These people have no standards ... and they don't even mind when the "fabrication" shows (as the picture depicts).

I'm not buying!
