Obama channels 'Animal House' at presser "You screwed up...You trusted us."

"You screwed up...You trusted us."

That's the sanitized answer Otter gave to Flounder when Flounder's brother's car ended up being wrecked by the Animal House crew on a road trip when he was promised it would be OK. And that's basically the same answer Obama gave to America in a press conference yesterday in response to millions of people losing their insurance policies after he lied, telling everyone they could keep their policies if they liked them.

And as this saga continues to mirror the Animal House story-line, upon America's initial shock of seeing their beloved health care system wrecked and millions of people losing their insurance plans, Obama has now offered an "executive fix" for the health care system he wrecked, with the intention of disguising Obamacare as a big sweet cake with the enticing words "Eat Me" written on it.

Unfortunately, when this cake finally gets cut sometime in 2014, what pops out won't be so sweet. It'll be a health care system that has been successfully transformed by the Obama House crew into what Flounder's brother's Lincoln Continental became - a DEATH MOBILE!

And it's headed straight down the heart of main street America.

Only part of this analogy I do not like is it is not funny, but deadly serious for Americans.

“What? Over? Did you say “over”? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!”

I love that movie.

Obama knew the majority of Americans were thoughtless air heads.

After all - they elected him twice.

The second part of the advice was “I suggest you start drinking heavily”.

Otter: I’ll tell you what. We’ll tell Fred you were doing a great job taking care of his car, but you parked it out back last night and this morning... it was gone. We report it as stolen to the police. D-Day takes care of the wreck. Your brother’s insurance company buys him a new car.

Flounder: Will that work?

Otter: Hey, it’s gotta work better than the truth.

“The Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”

“He’s on a roll.”

That was funny, I agree that this is not.

My friends all loved that movie and talked endlessly about it. When I finally saw it, I didn’t think it was that funny.

It’s not over until we say it is. Was it over when the wicked insurance companies canceled the marks’ worthless, expensive child-killing insurance plans?
Wicked insurance..?
Forget it, he’s rolling.
Because when the going gets tough......
(crickets crickets)
The tough send the marks back to their worthless, expensive child-killing insurance plans. Who’s with me? Yaaaaaaa.....

Yup. And Otter didn't say "You screwed up", but FR decorum prevents me from stating the actual quote.

Someone needs to park a copy of the Cake Float ... "Eat Me" and all .... front and center in DC.

What is even funnier, is when some know it all decides to try and teach you world history because of the quote from the movie. I have seen it here.

BTW I believe it is one of the BEST movie quotes EVER!

Obama blamed unnamed people working for him and was completely unaware of the problem but he said he takes full responsibly anyway (like Hillary did) for the mess, so we should not blame Congressional Dems who voted for the billl 100X, and who promised us we could keep our doctors.
Blame him instead,.

But he is not resigning over it as his intentions were good , he’s going to work even harder to fix the bill.
