Ping.
decent article though i take issue with the statement,”mainstream outlets like the New York Times”
Please Lord, let it be true. Let us not be so stupid as a nation that we will throw away lives and wondrous health for the fantasies of a dishonest man.
Saw it. Unsourced. Don’t believe it. ;)
(Scoff) ObamaCare has more sequels than Bela Lugosi. Will be voted into law when Dracula sees daylight.
Tonight, Obama will sound very, VERY conservative....Ronald Reagan incarnate---might even invoke the "shining city on the hill," and other Reaganisms.
Like all sociopaths---Obama lives in the moment----doing and saying anything necessary to cover his ***. EVERYTHING he says has an expiration date.
If this plan is so great why are congress and the unions EXEMPT
“Tonight, Obama will sound very, VERY conservative....Ronald Reagan incarnate-”
The difference being that Obama will lie like a rug.
I'll bet you're right.
This is sooooooooooooooo correct. He probably hired a conservative speechwriter to write it for him, like he probably did for yesterday's school speech.
That lying, manipulative POS.
Fred Barnes was on Fox’s evening news panel and spoke about a recent column that the authro dubedd Obama’s “Tinkerbell”
syndrome. Tinkerbell, the little fairy that perched on Peter Pan’s shoulder, encouraged everyone to ‘wish real hard’ and that would be enough to make their dreams come true.
Obama is a lightwieght, never ready for the big chair.
Tinkerbell syndrome indeed. (although the image of the ballerina, Rahm Emmanuel,flitting about the corridors of the WH fits, too.)
;)
Good point.
Calling the NYT a mainstream outlet is like proclaiming the biggest part of the sewer system to be the "mainstream outlet."
Like all sociopaths---Obama lives in the moment----doing and saying anything necessary to cover his ***. EVERYTHING he says has an expiration date.
Sociopath is right.
The difference between Obama and God is -- God doesn't think he's Obama.
The school speech he delivered yesterday was A FAR CRY from the one he/Rahm originally prepared.....the one he wanted to give.....to brainwash all the little kiddies into his agenda.
Once again, grassroots furor threw him off his game.
Tonight he thinks he's got the answers.
Too bad he's gonna find out he's wrong.....again.
We gotta get that on a tee shirt.
Wow, Michael Barone kicks some serious ass in this column!
Bravo!

IBD Exclusive Series: Government-Run Healthcare: A Prescription For Failure
Paying The Price For Illegal Care
IBD Editorials | August 21, 2009
FR Posted by Kaslin
Democrats are right that uncompensated emergency care for the uninsured is driving up costs. What they don't say is it's illegal immigrants who are bankrupting ERs, and the federal government is encouraging them.
Last decade, the Clinton administration added teeth to a little-known Health and Human Services Department regulation mandating that hospitals provide emergency treatment even to illegals.
Under the Emergency Medical Treatment and Active Labor Act, or EMTALA, hospitals can't even ask for a patient's immigration status or ability to pay prior to delivering treatment. They also can't keep such uninsured patients waiting, even if their problem isn't an emergency. Nor can they discharge them until they're fully stabilized and have safe transportation. More, hospitals must post EMTALA signs in Spanish and English.
The law isn't limited to ERs. Hospitals must accept illegals at any facility on campus — including outpatient clinics and doctor's offices — located within 250 yards of the main buildings.
Hospitals end up treating uninsured illegals for the sniffles and other nonurgent care, and pass that exorbitant cost on to the insured, the Government Accountability Office has found. Resulting overcrowding leads to delays in "care for patients with true emergency needs." (Excerpt) Read more at ibdeditorials.com .....
“(And besides, illegals will have full amnesty by the time OC kicks in.)
The HELL they will! I never liked or trusted Barone. He is a defeatist, and a limp wristed Republican. He may be defeated in his little world, but the rest of us aren’t.
