MR. GIBBS: We believe the agreement is structured in a way that is fair, just as it is fair to other aspects of the bill that have to be phased in.


No nothing about raising tax is fair, it is socialism, unions are socialist, and in my opinion Obama is socialist and you must be too.

Gibbs cannot utter a single coherent sentence.

By design, of course. He's an automated random phrase generator. Unintelligible. Which is precisely why Obama, Emanuel, and Axelrod keep this jackass doofus around. They have no desire or intent to illuminate anything.

Equally galling is that the press acted as if they were following this wholesale gibberish from Gibbs. They could not have followed it, because there was nothing there to be understood. Just once I'd like someone in the press to to say, "I have no idea what you just said, and neither do you."

We're talking about an exceedingly small number of people I think that the premise of your impact would impact.

BS. If it affects so few people, why have the tax at all? Or why not give the same deal the unions got to the "exceedingly small" number of people affected?

Gibbs is a lier for Obama and not a very good one.

Just so everybody understands: “cadillac plan” = the plan that EVERYBODY in the private (non-government) sector will need in order to get decent health care and avoid long lines once Mengelecare takes effect.

Bend over and grease up - - here comes Ubama.

I think if this passes, a class action suit among all “non-union” employees needs to be enacted pronto.

[I have a modest proposal: we (the citizenry) form the American Anti-Tax Union. ]

That is actually brilliant. If unions get special treatment, we just all become union.

LOL!

You probably won’t believe me, but I originally included that in my first draft, but I didn’t want to overwhelm with too many adjectives.

Zero and his white-America hating wife, are THE exemplars of the racist, unjust, affirmative action society we are stuck with today.

Laws by their nature must apply to all. A “law” that applies to only certain members of the population is an invalid law.

Is it just me, or is there something incredibly creepy and down right filthy not to mention un-democratic and eerily thugish about a group of politicians WHO ARE framing a NATIONAL HEALTH CARE BILL AND are using AND rewarding SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS THAT have SUPPORTED SAID POLITICIANS IN THE DEMO-RAT PARTY ??

Does it GET any SICKER? Or more unfair to the rest of AMERICA?

We have got to throw these immoral DIRTBAGS out of office. ASAP!
