So . . . why repeat the boondoggle and create anothe cash toilet?

Seriously, Obama has no clue whatsoever when it comes to economics. Either it’s willful ignorance or the unvarnished kind.

And Sarah Palin was supposed to be the idiot? Unbelievable.

Actually, it’s almost a relief to realize that 0 is such an idiot. If the man had half a brain, he’d be even more dangerous.

I’ll bet Rahm and some of his other handlers are having palpitation about now.

Their boy can’t answer a simple question without the tele.

Good thing ZerO has a big mouth because he sure has big feet.

Finally, after hearing this poseur pontificate for over two years...one statement of transparency and truth!

Drudge has the quote. I think this has the potential to overtake O’s efforts to redirect the debate. What an ultra-maroon.

[ForeignDude]

You guys are missing the message here. (And I am serious when I post the explanation below.)

To liberals, the statement that BHO made does not mean what it means to us.

To us, his statement highlights the inefficiency of government enterprise: we should not allow government to take over such a critical industry, in light of the failures of other government enterprises to function efficiently or to remain solvent without massive taxpayer subsidies (e.g., Amtrak, GM, etc.).

To a liberal, his statement highlights the greed of private enterprise: UPS and FedEx are doing well because they put profit above people. What they took from his statement is that the Post Office is doing poorly because the government always tries to be fair by putting the needs of the people first, even if that means losing gobs of money.

You guys think that BHO just sank his plan. To the contrary, he just shored up support of government-run health care with the 41% that support his plan. He just stiffened the resolve of those who believe that private insurance will screw everyone to make a buck. Therefore, they will fight even harder to ensure that we “put people first” by enacting universal health care.

Things are about to get even MORE interesting....

[mad_as_he$$]

Hey 0 you idiot. What is the difference between Fed-x, UPS and the Postal Service? The Postal Service is a quasi goobermint agency heavily unionized and run by slugs. Fed-x and UPS run for PROFIT!!!!

And you want our health care? F' off.

President Obama at his Tuesday town hall: "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

I have to presume that any Democrat from top to bottom watching/hearing that statement had to have had a collective "Oh no!" moment. In fact I am sure Obama may have realized right away himself.

Obama of course was trying to make the point that private entities that do some of the same shipping services have survived while competing with the taxpayer-funded Post Office. Truth is the private companies succeeded due to the very point Obama managed to accidentally let fly - the very incompetence of the Post Office service in general.

As far as I am concerned Obama would be hard pressed to think up a line as devastating to his and the Dems argument and at the same time as beneficial to anti-Obamacare advocates than that one.

"UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

"Therefore, the government-run healthcare system will be efficient and cost-effective."

Nope, no logical fallacies there!

[Real Cynic No More]

So, since UPS and Fedex are private entities doing well, and the government-run USPS is not, I guess the next step will be to penalize UPS and Fedex so that the USPS can be more competitive with them? Or maybe have the government take them over?

A perfect example of why the government should not run our healthcare services.

“President Obama at his Tuesday town hall: “UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.”

President Obama subliminal message number one: Private industry does it better, government run anything sucks.

But hey! This government run surgery is going to be GREAT!

[HwyChile]

I give Obama credit for one thing. He has perfected the art of lying. His method is to tell a little truth (private UPS and FedEx are run better than government US Postal Service) and then use that truth to put forth the lie that his plan is not designed to destroy private insurance. He is lying through his teeth when he makes the statement that his plan is not designed to destroy private health insurance.

[novemberslady]

Now I don't think the ladies and gentlemen down at my local post office are gonna like this very much at all.

See, there were alot of changing hope bambi signs all over, in front of, and around the post office last election cycle.
Now they didn't put those signs up they said, but were happy about them being there.

I understand better now that they're still happy, it's just that like bambi says...the post office is always having problems...

but not fedex or ups...

[NoLibZone]

LOL!

Yes the USPS vs FedEx et all is a great example of why the government must stay clear of services that are better handled by the private sector.

Imagine how much money we could all save if we no longer had to carry the USPS.
