We know the drill: Read the teleprompter for a few minutes, take questions from a few plants in audience, total of twelve or thirteen questions in an hour, filibuster, end to rave reviews from the state run media.

White House propaganda e-mail sent to NextGov.com

"Who farted?"

"It must be Obama. His farts smell wonderful!"

(Notice how everyone is smiling.)

Cheers!

[eyedigress]

Are you watching it now?

[keepitreal]

Oh, now I’m a thief because I disagree with you and ask you to cite some examples. Sorry, Snurple, you seem to like to throw around accusations without any proof.

[grey_whiskers]

The REALLY frightening part of those photos is, it looks like Rahm is smelling his finger.

Cheers!

[clintonh8r]

OK, now how the hell am I supposed to get to sleep?

[Fu-fu2]

You are entitled to rant, my friend! We all are, and would be if more were aware of how the “system” works! I can’t even listen to the political garbage spewing out of my television tonight, passing for a press conference!

[PA Engineer]

I dont like Obama in the least but you cant be so stupid as to believe specialists don’t compensate doctors who refer patients to them. Please tell me you are not so naive, gullible or just plain ignorant.

I will say it. How far did you have to reach up you behind to pull that one out. The elbow? The shoulder? I will take this personally. My Wife is a specialist! I know many specialists. I can assure you that there is no compensation for referrals!

This has to be the most NAIVE, GULLIBLE AND JUST PLAIN IGNORANT statement I have ever heard, unless you have other motivations for saying it.

[eyedigress]

Good Grief! I wasted my time. He is in month 6 of the campaign. He is not aware of his own position. What a tool.

[PA Engineer]

You sound like a GP with a guilty conscience to me. lmao

You sound like a troll.

[tina07]

I’m 50+ and refuse to join AARP ever. The offers are in the mail constantly and just as quickly deposited in the garbage.

[PA Engineer]

Thanks.

[Snurple]

OK, Ill humor you for a moment. You don’t appear to be overtly stupid and I assume (which is dangerous I admit) you are not a kid. How do you suppose a GP (general practitioner) decides which specialist to send a patient to? Which hospital? Which new drug to prescribe?

[STARWISE]

;)

[Snurple]

Thats weak, real weak.

[grey_whiskers]

You might enjoy The Barackitudes.

Cheers!

[keepitreal]

Please enlighten me.

I may actually be bright enough to understand if you ever offer up any proof and not mere speculation.

[rrebo]

Unfortunately, he is going to be in Cleveland tomorrow for a “town hall” meeting. Throwing a bone to the Cleveland press to get some points.

[Snurple]

OK. I asked a question, answer it.

[PA Engineer]

How do you suppose a GP (general practitioner) decides which specialist to send a patient to? Which hospital? Which new drug to prescribe?

"OK, Ill humor YOU for a moment." You can start by educating yourself. Here is one location.

Best Doctors

Next you should familiarize yourself with Stark Laws. The frigging moron Stark who has done more harm to the practice of medicine than any other representative in the history of Congress.

[Snurple]

Please.
