In short, he's a commie.

Thanks to John McInsane and the rest of the criminally incompetents at the RNC and the country clubbers posing as leaders of the GOP.

Too often when important points are being made with O’rielly and even Hannity, they cut off the speaker.

It has the effect of throwing a wet towel on some very salient points.

Such is media.

I want to know why he is referring to this as HIS healthcare reform. There is multiple bills which one is HIS. He didn’t lift anything he let Pelosi and Reid do it and thats what America is complaining about.

Steve Hayes is a pretty smart fellow. I’ve been reading him for quite awhile at Weekly Standard. I like him a lot better than Barnes and Kristol.

“Yeah, and O’Reilly is defending Obama. Again. I shut it off.”

Well, he kinda was, but he claimed the Public Option was dead, which isn’t what Obama said, but Bill “read between the lines”. There’s still a lot to worry about, but so long as Bill’s not behind the Public Option, he’s batting above his average, in my opinion.

Did you watch McCain??? Smiling from ear to ear when the bam threw him a bone. He damn near stood up and took a bow when the bam said he might use one of his campaign ideas.

To: The Chief
“Despite all this, the insurance companies and their allies don't like this idea. They argue that these private companies can't fairly compete with the government. And they'd be right if taxpayers were subsidizing this public insurance option. But they won't be. I have insisted that like any private insurance company, the public insurance option would have to be self-sufficient and rely on the premiums it collects. But by avoiding some of the overhead that gets eaten up at private companies by profits, excessive administrative costs and executive salaries, it could provide a good deal for consumers.”

First of all, if it has not government funding (”subsidy”) it's not a government program, that is to say, it's not a “public” option.

Secondly, the people running the government program will be the same people who make and relentlessly change the rules. Sounds like fair “competition” to me. Sure. Right.

Third, it was news to me that there was no excessive administrative costs for the government. I guess he is going to create a program that has no government funding, and no waste on administrative cost. I had no idea the president was such a competent administrator. Please make this plan public immediately, Mr. President, every private corporation in the world is working relentlessly to make their administrative costs as low as possible. Apparently you, with no experience managing a private company, have solved the riddle. Mr. President, show us your cleverly designed plan that will include a government system that runs more efficiently than a private one.

Finally, on the topic of executive salaries. Nice scapegoat there, but realistically, politiicans are doing alright for themselves. The Clintons have made half a billion dollars since leaving office. Ditto for Al Gore. Now as it turns out, they didn't make that money by selling automobiles, or computers. They made that money based on their political stature. Who ends up paying for that money? Did corporations just give them the money with no expectation of return?

I’m surprised he didn’t give kudos to his SEIU gangstas. They must have been in the background.

Acorn will probably diversify and become a health care management system.

They will be your home visit PCPs. If you live through their treatment you weren't sick in the first place.

Well, I'm a close second... Only part missing is I'm not a lawyer, howdy neighbor!

There are 5-7 million like this guy,its far easier to fix things for those few than dump the entire system and plunge the country even deeper into debt.

Acorn will ... become a health care management system.

You can take that to the bank. They already have operations like that, and they're always trolling for more. Like I said on the Beck TV thread today, they are whores who will do anything for buck$ to funnel into the progressive machine.

Census.
