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

*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”?

If she were taken to the Univ of Chicago, she would have been sent to another hospital by your wife.

I’m going to sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Neverforget01]

I think he is trying to bore people to death.

By the way--what decent human being allows their own dying mother to fight with insurance companies? WHERE WERE YOU BARACK?

[magritte]

Kind of like “Access to health care” and “Health insurance”...he uses both interchangably...

[FOXFANVOX]

Hi TOL. I agree with you; what parent thinks about politics in the ER?!

BTW: Dear Leader is talking and talking. Wasn’t this suppose to be a chance for him to hear others’ ideas?!!!

[GnuHere]

“Speech won’t be too long...” Then he keeps talking.

[screaminsunshine]

All he wants is the Obama “exchange” it will be total Obama control of all health insurance and force you to buy it. It will eliminate entirely the free market and cost a fortune and ration care.

[Lazamataz]

I’m just thrilled he didn’t surround the building with forces and start arresting Republican senators.

[GOPRaleigh]

That my friend is a Botox smirk. Nothing on earth can get rid of it!

[SeattleBruce]

How many health care horror stories are we going to hear about today? Over/under 10.

How many of those stories are going to be proved in the next week to have falsities? Over/under 10.

[mwl8787]

No, the GOP had to attend. If they had refused to go, their no-show would have become the MSM meme, creating sympathy for Obama, Reid, and Pelosi - and thereby making passage of this monstrosity more probable.

GOP can now say that the President came in bad faith, that his opening remarks demonstrate that he is not interested in fresh ideas or compromise.

Let our DOCTORS do the talking when it is our turn.

[Dinah Lord]

How many times has he said “I” or “Me”?

[StarFan]

He’s hoping this isn’t political theater? He has the starring role by blabing on and on.

[MinuteGal]

Letters, we get letters
We get stacks an' stacks of letters.....

(instrumental break)

Dear Perry....oops, Obama.....
Would be so kind
To fill a request
And sing.....oops, read
The songs.....oops, sob-story letters you like best.....

(full orchestra swelling)

He hasn’t taken a breath yet and said we have areas we agree on and hopes we aren’t just playing to the cameras!

What an asshat!

[maggief]

no “trading talking points”

(as he rattles off talking points)

[paulycy]

He has already announced his end game.

No agreement will be reached and he will “have no other choice” than to ram this through with whatever unconstitutional tricks they can think of.

WALK OUT NOW.

[mware]

He is getting free air time.

[wilco200]

he’s trying to put people to sleep before the Republicans get to speak

[hotshu]

I thought that’s what I heard, too. I couldn’t believe he so blatantly lie in the same breath! He must have gotten some last minute coaching from Billy Jeff.
