The White House ^ | 2/25/10 | Blueyon

[xjcsa]

Menendez or Lautenberg?

[LaybackLenny]

waxman isn’t very telegenic

YA THINK?!

[onyx]

OOOH.

This guy is hitting Obama HARD.

[RedMDer]

That’s what I was thinking but Arnold is easier on the eyes.

[Winstons Julia]

Once I had a nightmare that I was all bundled up and couldn’t move...then I looked down and I realized...”OH NOES...I’m trapped in Waxman’s nostril! If he sneezes I shall surely perish!”

[Jedidah]

Wow on Roskam... you go, guy!

Hope he has bodyguards.

[FOXFANVOX]

Thank you for stating the obvious. National health care is probably unconstitutional. Even if it isn't, it is absurd to try to impose a national standard on 50 diverse states. The states know better than the feds what their citizens want and need.

BTW: Waxman who is on now has it wrong. You don't bring down the costs by bringing all of the people into the system. You bring down costs by customizing policies covering only essentials. Waxman just dissed the Republicans...he is such a weasel.

[TomGuy]

Actually, making sausage isn’t that bad.

I’ve seen a farmer kill a pig, hang it and drain the blood, burn the hair off and dress it for a pig roast. (This is when I was about 8 years old...Dad took me to see where meat came from...the pigs were for my grandparents’ 50th anniversary pig roast.) My family has butchers.

There’s nothing bad dealing with raw meat, grinding it, seasoning it and putting it into casings.

What?

You mean, it doesn't just come from the grocery store????

[lol. Someone actually said that regarding 'meat' recently. They didn't realize how it got to the grocery store. I grew up on a farm and was involved in processing many 'food' items.]

[paulycy]

What’s happening? All cable feeds gone.

[rod1]

How King Johnish of BO.

[raybbr]

Yeah, Arnold Ziffel is actually pretty cute. Waxman has to be one of the ugliest people on earth.

[pillut48]

"What is it gonna take to get you Republicans to vote for this bill?"

Lord help us! In one ear and out the other.

Fine. Let the liberals go nuclear. The American people will go nuclear in the voting booth in November! >>>:-(

[skr]

Obama said they had discussed some items both sides agreed with, but I haven’t really heard what those items are.

[RWGinger]

“Did what Obama just said amount to: “I’m not interested in Boehner’s bill...anyone got anything else....no? Oh well, then...”?”
Indeed he did just say that nd he called Boehnner a liar

[truthkeeper]

This Rep. Peter Roskaw (R) of Illinois is pretty good.

[PhiKapMom]

LOL!!! Everyone seemed disgusted with Waxman which was one thing they all agreed.

[La Enchiladita]

What if we had a clean slate on health care? ~~ Cal Thomas vs. Bob Beckel

[Peter Horry]

“Durbin - made his living suing doctors.”

Democrats love their little sob stories, Republican’s should counter them with examples of fraud and abuse.

I am sure there could be many about Durbin, but Little Johnnie Edwards, the one that Channels children, should be at the time of the list.

The lady with the used teeth (someone should interview her) gave me an idea, perhaps we should recycle and refurbish dentures... even those of dead people. Somewhat facetious.

[RedMDer]

That’s a face not even a mother could love.

[LaybackLenny]

Is the senator from New Jersey there?

Menendez or Lautenberg?

Last I heard, Lautenberg was availing himself of the government health plan.
