never say never.

even Katie courics basement ratings still have useful useful idiots who watch her.

look at the whole Van Jones Scandal. not because he resigned, but because the MSM CONTROLLED THE STORY BY NOT COVERING THE STORY. Van Jones resigns MIDNIGHT saturday on a long weekence only FNC covered it.

The MSM will only report pro-healthcare and the useful idiots will drink the koolaide. (even congress’ 800 number has a pro healthcare recording before you get to talk to a human. IOW a lobbyist [union? soros?] was able to BUY the recording and the MSM will cover this?????.....crickets)

I am sure another speech is just the ticket. After all, he has never tried it before.

Oh, wait...

“Our CBS News tally shows that Mr. Obama has given 27 speeches specifically on his health care objectives. Add in other remarks, events and statements in which he mentioned health care and the number soars to 119.”

If first thing out of his mouth isn't, “I'm releasing all my medical records back to when I was a glint in my daddy's eye and I'm sorry for not doing so much sooner”, the rest of his BS doesn't matter. He wants to have everyone on file from birth to death and manipulated by a huge corp of the leftist faithful, but he thinks he and his are completely exempt.

Look at the now gone czar, they didn't bother him with the trivia of answering any questions to get that job, and the media didn't think asking Obama questions to get his job was important. Unless he's going to put things on a level playing field by putting all his medical records in the public domain and apologize for not doing so until now, anything he says about medical care is just more warm spit aimed at the evil citizens who aren't in line with his plan.

He's a nut case. My bet is that's why his medical records are hidden from the public. He probably had both drug problems and rubber room problems until his handlers could get his narcissism moderated by keeping only the right strokers around him at all times.

Regards

Have any of the major networks declared that the speech won’t be televised?

The only “steam” it’s picking up is from the pot starting to boil across the country.

Nobamacare “steam” is from that light at the end of the dem’s tunnel, which is a train coming.

The Democratic news media in full cheerleader mode. If their “news” reports continue to be removed from reality, they will lose what little credibility they had.

Snore, this whole hoolabaloo. He'll give the same speech he has done 100 times and most recently at the town halls. The sock puppet has no gravitas, he's a talking chimp of Soros and SEIU. This bill is still dead, this speech is to provide more political cover when it goes down to ignominious defeat. Its been over for a while, lose the public option lose the liberals, keep it in lose the blue dogs and all the Republicans. Pelosi is stll 100 votes shy, some speech by Dummy won't make anything happen. He is a legend in his own mind and the vampire minority urban class.

Have any of the major networks declared the speech a success in advance of the speech?

So he is appearing on T.V. to let us know he still can’t decide? Is this going to help anyone figure out this mess?
Precisely why his speech will be a disaster.

Look - Pelosi thinks the majority of the country want the liberals' version of health care reform, even when Gallup reports Independents - the folks who elected Obama, essentially - have abandoned him on this issue. DU and KOS soldier on under the echo-illusion that they are in the majority of the nation in this effort, when that is at best, mistaken, and at worst, psychotic.

So Obama will give nothing specific and much in general, presenting no clarification and only dividing and angering still more. And all the while the Tea Party juggernaut is heading towards Washington for its (I think) September 12th rally, a rally that will scare the hubris even out of Rahm.

In Cincinnati over the weekend at a Tea Party rally 18,000 people let their anger be known while 20 counter-protested a few miles away. Obama was in the same town on Labor Day, but his crowd was substantially smaller.

Egad, this is fascinating, watching the Administration faltering into oblivion. If the MSM weren't so adoring of him, Obama would have descended into oblivion before the election.

"This is what Obama does. His polls plummet. He responds again and again with the same move - a major speech"

Nothing's impossible, I've found
For when my chin is on the ground
I pick myself up, dust myself off
And start all over again

Don't lose your confidence if you slip
Be grateful for a pleasant trip
And pick yourself up, dust yourself off
And start all over again

Work like a soul inspired
Until the battle of the day is won
You may be sick and tired, my son
But you'll be a man, my son

Will you remember the famous men
Who had to fall to rise again
So take a deep breath, pick yourself up
And start all over again

("Swing Time" (1936) - Starring Barack Astaire and Michelle My Belle Rogers

Has ANYONE heard the media proclaiming breathlessly :

“This is the most important speech he will ever deliver”,

“His whole presidency rest on this speech”,

“If he doesn’t pull off this speech tonight he is toast”

Just wondering because that was the rhetoric EVERY TIME Bush made an important speech.

I really believe that he isn’t taking a stand so that either way it goes he will be able to claim credit. I don’t get it, does he really believe we are that stupid? I went on Huffington Post website just to see their take on things, those people are such followers. They are not able to question one of their own. Right, wrong, it doesn’t matter. They will not question Obama. ever. It is up to people like you and I ( and we the “people” )to get things back on track.

I don’t see how anything close to HR 3200 can avoid being a budget buster unless a lot of money is sucked from those who have it by taxation or something more sneaky. This fact alone should force a major reuduction in the scope of any legislation that can survive public sentiment.

HR 3200 worked as a campaign promise. Now he’s sort of got to pull it off. Oops.

Axelrod said that he heeds odumbass out of the WH and in the face of the public, that’s where he does best, campaigning. BUT Axelrod is wrong. He is growing old, over exposed, people aren’t watching, the ones that do are seeing the phony for what he is. The honeymoon ended months ago. He’s old news now.

Kudos Jim "Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said, as Ben Smith at Politico reported, "If we're able to stop Obama on this, it will be his Waterloo. It will break him."


How many times do we got to kill this thing? Kill it with fire.
