Politics: The administration stages a photo-op with handpicked doctors who support its health care reform. Fortunately, most doctors still believe that the first rule of medicine is to do no harm.
It would seem some doctors still make house calls. Some 150 of them made one at the White House Monday in an attempt to give a booster shot to the administration's chaotic and stalled health care reform drive.
Rather than a grass-roots uprising of physicians, this was a classic case of AstroTurfing.
Attendance was by invitation only, and 40 of the 150 were said to be members of Doctors for America, a reincarnation of the Doctors for Obama arm of the Obama campaign that boasts of having more than 15,000 members.
The physicians were told to bring their white lab coats with them to make sure the TV cameras to capture the proper image. Those who just showed up wearing suits or dresses were provided with lab coats hastily rustled up.
White House spokesman Reid Cherlin insisted that the doctors "were not invited based on their support for a public option." We'd like a second opinion on that. Doctors for America as an organization embraces a government-run insurance option.
"It just appears that the president of the United States, at this point, is choosing to meet only those who support his agenda," said Dr. Margaret Flowers, a Maryland pediatrician and congressional fellow for Physicians for a National Health Program, a group not invited.

It will take more than fake lab coats to cover this up.
The medical unions (SEIU/ACORN) will eventually replace America docs and nurses with illegals and ACORN thugs who have no clue.

>>One day hopefully, the community-organizer-in-chief will be wearing a white coat...over the top of an orange jumpsuit.
I’d like to see the white coats hauling him off in straightjacket with a butterfly net over his head.

But of course the ABCNNBCBS mainstream media didn’t “notice” this little self-propagandizing effort by Obama.
(But had a Bush White HOuse only invited one sided “photo-op” groups ....)
Brian who? The one who always looks like he just came off the slopes?
Of course.
"You're not putting that around my neck are you?"
Nurse: "No, Obama doesn't tell us what to do yet."
I was amazed. This is blue state CT. More than that though is that the nurses keep away from anything which might upset. That she felt easy enough making this joke means Obama is not liked by the other patients she sees.

He should have waited a few more weeks and just handed out Halloween costumes, like Frankenstein, the Mummy, Nurse Rached, etc.
The only educated, currently-employed-but-soon-to-be-jettisoned subculture that is safe from O'barry's onslaught is university professors of BlaKKK Womyn's Studies.

Congress voted for 10(?) C-17 the Pentagon said they did not need or want
Parts from all over the USA
Congress is buying votes for 2010 & 2012
There were some planes that were wanted and they wouldn’t give. Are the C-17 planes? I am not familiar with all of this.
Did you see pictures of people lined up for bailout money and every one of them were hugely fat? Supposedly homeless people but they must eat good!
Maybe since they're homeless, they're trying to become their own homes...like turtles.
