Average trip to the doctor’s office: $100
President Obama’s new healthcare plan: $1 Trillion
Watching Rep. Paul Ryan pawn President Obama at his own healthcare summit: Priceless
Today it became painfully obvious President Obama does not play chess. Pawned by Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) at the President’s own healthcare summit, Obama was forced to just sit there and take it. This bright, young conservative exposed the Democrat’s healthcare gimmicks, and took Obama and Biden to task over whether Congress was “qualified” to know what the American people want. Proving himself incapable of engaging on any level in response to Ryan, Obama was left to whine.

I hope Ryan has better luck than I did. I tried to pawn him and the pawnbroker threw me out of the shop.
They pawned him? How much was he worth?
Beat me to it. I had a typo and had to fix it. ;-P
The correct slang term is "Pwned".
It's a (now) famous typo for the word "Owned", which is the original slang word it came from.
Ryan ripped Obama a new one!!!
This is why the GOP needs to field a new generation of candidates and leaders. Look at Rep Paul’s sharp demeanor versus Sen McCain’s rambling.
It’s not technically a “typo.” It’s a slang term (an annoying one at that) for “owned” to such an extreme extent it becomes “pwned.” Very popular with the text message generation. Are we up to Gen Y or is it Z now?
Unfortunately you won’t see that speech on the evening news.
Powerline blog was speculating that Obama was giving Ryan the middle finger at the end there. Seemed like it.
Always fun to watch Obama have someone disagree with him. He looks like his head is going to explode. Completely un-presidential.
Paul Ryan was great today.
Obama simply cannot function without his teleprompter.
Er... it was a typo. I was there when it happened.
Obama was reduced to whining? Who knew it was so easy?
First, it was necessary to get him away from ready answers fed to him through the TelePrompTer. Then, he is just target practice.
This President thing is HARD.
A pawn is the weakest piece in the game of chess. Obama was pawned/pwned in more ways than one.
I would just as soon like to hear you sing Mammy!
Yeah, it is. I remember when it first showed up on the internet, and the poor schlub who first made the mistake got reamed for weeks over it.

LOL -- didn't I just say that?
Look at your QWERTY keyboard, and you'll quickly see where this all started.
Dems, pubbies, anyone who will listen; it’s the spending. Paul Ryan is correct.
Yeah, I know. I only realized that my attempt at a funny was too subtle after I posted.
It's getting late, and the Health Care Summit took more out of me than a usual day of Freeping.
I know. Same here...I’m east coast.
