Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

Obama is such a child!
He can easily be beat in 2012.
Just pull his chain like McCain just did.
He cannot take criticism.

[Williams]

Have the republicans pointed out there have been no public hearings on this? Obama goes on about the poor babies’ “exhaustive process”.

How about some testimony by people, doctors, lawyers, insurers, hospitals, pharma companies???

[crunk]

I think this was the biggest hit on Obama - his failed promises, his failure to be transparent. Those kind of lies the people can undertand easily. And, I think (I hope) the MSM will want to be playing that little exchange between McCain and Obama over and over again. McCain won that little battle -— BIG TIME.

[longtermmemmory]

rush just said this dog and pony show is about putting a face to gridlock.

As long as the republicans stand strong this is a pyric victory at best this day for democrats.

Republicans need to keep bashing back at professsshir obama.

[LostInBayport]

Look at Obama instead of Sebelius...he is not listening to her. He is STEWING over McCain’s comments!

Priceless.

I can’t believe McCain made my afternoon.

Ecclesiastes 10:20 says, "Do not curse the king even in your thoughts,
and do not curse a rich person even in your bedroom,
for a bird of the sky may carry the message,
and a winged creature may report the matter.

It is very hard not to want to curse that man, but as long as I don't look at him, I'm ok.

[jersey117]

He needs to go for the rescue now..... cueing Sebelius

Someone please say: “WE ARE NOT IN AGREEMENT HERE IN ANY WAY - WE ARE MOUNTAINTOPS AWAY FROM ANY AGREEMENT” - You want the government to take over - we want the free market to cure the disease.

Bad maggie, bad!! LOL

[crunk]

Who’d think we’d be cheering for McCain? LOL.

I have a $50 co-pay and then the doc has to go through a bunch of insurance paperwork (and the bureaucracy costs me in premiums) to get another $1-10. I would rather pay the doc $60 and have lower insurance rates to cover the big stuff.

"We're not campaigning anymore, John".

Pardon me, 0bama, I didn't realize it wasn't still America where we don't have a dictator who does whatever HE wants, regardless how the people the Congress represents think about things.

[mentor2k]

Oh man, Obama is so effin condesending to McCain. I think McCain hit a raw nerve. What a rude arrogant narcissistic bastard Obama is . . . "The election is over" . . . well how about acting like it your self Mr. Effin President . . YOU are still out on the campaign trail EVERY DAY!!!!

BIG EFFIN DOG AND PONY SHOW HERE TODAY!

[firebrand]

This is an outrageous ploy, having a cabinet member speak for that long a time. I call foul.

[MaxMax]

Holy crap, she’s just making things up! Strawman!
