WHITE HOUSE HEALTH CARE MEETING - LIVE THREAD

The White House ^ | 2/25/10 | Blueyon

[blueyon]

Televised Meeting to talk about healthcare..........

[Red_Devil 232]

He looked like he was saying to himself - krap here we go again - as Obambi drones on and on!

[magritte]

“Ted Kennedy” mention..drink...

[tiredoflaundry]

*O* sat in the ER with a daughter with meningitis, and he thought "what would it have been like if I didn't have health care"?

Such BS! My only thought when I was in the ER with a 5 month old with meningitis was "dear God , let him live"!

[RushIsMyTeddyBear]

LOL! Do it for the ‘Tedster’.

[blueyon]

Obie just lied...in the same sentence he said his mother did NOT have health insurance and then she was on the phone arguing with the health insurance co on the reimbursements....instead of spending her last days with her family....HE IS A LIAR!!!!!

[TomGuy]

CSPAN3's coverage doesn't show the prompter. I don't think it's there. This is Obama on his own. His stammering, stutttering etc. tells me it isn't there.

It seems he is using note sheets rather than teleprompter.

[hsalaw]

No, he looks like he’s trying not to roll his eyes in disgust.

[mware]

Taking them to the woodshed and they are sitting down there taking it.

[wilco200]

Can he really keep this up for 6 hours!

talk about a filibuster

[Quilla]

Take a look at the center top of the second screen shot TomGuy posted at 125. Could that be a wall mounted prompter?

[sloop]

‘this healthcare is important and all but right now its time for a smoke break’

[Marty62]

Jerk off is reading statements of Repubs back to them. Asshole. They are going to get 6 hours of Obama BS.

[A. Morgan]

This is like “Ground Hog Day”, it’s the same thing over and over and over again!

[mwl8787]

I am only monitoring... not watching, but apparently it is the same tired rhetoric — nothing new, which bodes well for us.

[unkus]

I think the telepromter is there.
Yeah . . . he’s doing the head switch thing that he does so well.

---

He’s got an ear piece and they’ll be feeding him answers.

[firebrand]

Just hype for passing the bill so far.

[wilco200]

Exchange = government dumping ground.

[truthkeeper]

I’ve only watched 18 minutes of this filibuster and can tell the Republicans have been sucker punched yet again. What a surprise.

[mware]

From Fox it now looks like he is sitting in from of a fireplace screen.

[maggief]

LIAR!

She cited instances where women were denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition – “like having a C-section, or having had a baby.”

“These are the kind of facts that still wake me up at night,” Mrs. Obama said.

In her speech, Mrs. Obama also told the story of how her daughter Sasha would not stop crying when she was 4 months old. A doctor’s visit revealed she might have meningitis; she ultimately did not, but the illness produced a scare.
