WHITE HOUSE HEALTH CARE MEETING - LIVE THREAD

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

[blueyon]

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

[Winstons Julia]

Oh GEEZ.....

Gonna end with a Democrat. Bi-partisan.

And someone just stepped in and said don’t let the Republicans who have already talked talk any more?

This is a farce!

I need more wine. For the Beck thread.

[rod1]

Murray is there!? Doesn’t that automaticaly elevate the I.Q. level on Capitol Hill when she goes elsewhere?

[onyx]

Oh dear. Wyden is also a bore.
Also has a speech impediment.

[milwguy]

Hope the Dems are dumb enough to finish with Tax cheat Charley...Repubs won’t need any sound bites because the last image folks will have is of dumb Charley

[acoulterfan]

Why can’t one of the Pubs stand up and state that this meeting was a total farce?????

[philetus]

Repub: Mr.President? Why don’t you call on a Repub. that hasn’t talked?

[seekthetruth]

“Whoops, I meant to say that many people were calling in to CSPAN on the Republican Line and saying they were going to switch to Dem.”

I am sure BO’s team had a nice long call in line to make sure that was done. But is isn't going to work! :)

[yield 2 the right]

wining=winning.
Saw Obama’s very wide-eyed expression and had to click off the TV for my sanity’s sake.

[Qwackertoo]

That is about all I heard from the Dems today was one sob story after another. A big fat pity party is all they are.

[wizard61]

The more I think about it, this Summit may have been a Hail Mary pass to change the dynamic, because as of yesterday, they did not have the votes in the house. I don’t think the Dems wanted to take the risk of feeding the Tea Parties tons of clips... but they were out of options. I bet they were hoping to get a big enough media splash to provide cover for a gaggle of house dems who were not willing to walk this plank.

I think this was an act of desperation.

[crunk]

No, that was a dem telling him not to allow repubs who have already spoken to have a second chance. I think all repubs have spoken.

[onyx]

LOL. I just might pop open a bottle of beer.
99 bottles of beer in the fridge, 99 bottles of beer...

It’s been a LONG day.

[afraidfortherepublic]

I just heard Obumbles listing the remaining speakers as they wrap up — Democrats by name and Republicans by “somebody on that side”. Geeeesh! How obvious can you get? Of course he reserves the right for himself to summarize at the end.

[Moonlighter]

In related news, stock in Revlon ‘unexpectedly’ up by 70% today...

[hoosiermama]

Gave him the finger. Literally.

Sure hope somebody has a capture of that and we can send it literally through the net.

[paulycy]

Put a fork in this. It’s done.

Republicans won.

GO PUBBIES!

Now win the media debate.

You got your work cut out for you.

[PghBaldy]

OK. Thanks. It’s on Drudge now.

[maggief]

LOL! What a hapless bunch. Now Wyden ...
