The Summit Open Thread [Updates]

Thanks so much, Hokma.  I’m so sorry I missed Harry.  

Obama seems to be using corny anecdotes to make his points.  Is he trying to “dumb it down” so that average people can understand?  I’m trying to follow his analogies, but it’s a struggle.

Listening to Kyl — he is REALLY attacking how much this bill is going to hurt small businesses.  VERY effective arguments.  RAISING THE MEDICARE TAX is a major deal for every employer and every single employee in the country.

Has Paul Ryan gotten to talk much?  He’s a personal favorite who has his own health care plan, despite the Democrats saying the GOP has no health care plans.

Agreed all the way about Harry!

If this really is a summit – how about some new voices to the mic?

I liked what Coburn had to say – speaking as a doctor and dealing with fraud. Obama was taking notes like a desparate college freshman trying to catch up.

Nancy Pelosi is another one – why are they wasting such precious time giving her the stage so she can just gush about how great Obama is and what leadership he is displaying. She sounded more like a cheerleader than a respected elected official. I really think she gives women a bad name.

Bronwyn – Paul Ryan was allowed to counter one mis-statement by a Democrat but only after Obama interrupted him.Susan – when the amount of time is calculated after this is over it will be interesting to see how much time was dominated by Obama attacking Republicans.Now we have Clyburne with more unsubstantiated anecdotes.

Amazing.
Clyburn just gives an anecdote of someone on Medicare who is getting a transplant and how Medicare advised him on restriction on convolescence. THEN follows up with how more government healthcare intervertion will make it better!
Amazing in its utter stupidity.

Have you ever been to a timeshare presentation? (I know, I know…. cue the music from the shower scene in “Psycho”) Well, we’ve been stubbornly saying we’re NOT INTERESTED for the last six hours of what was supposed to be a ninety minute exercise………and now………..they’re bringing in………… THE CLOSER!!! 

You can always be certain that there is something terribly wrong with the product when the “hard-sell” reaches such a state of desperation. The GOP should just pick up their stuff, walk out, and enjoy the rest of the day, rather that suffer any more patronizing dribble from this dog and one trick phony (Obama) show. 

I wish the “Lark” concept could be eliminated!

O to John McCain

LOL John where not campaining anymore???? WTF
The campaign is over. Hello did he hear himself say that??

Anche tu sei un bambino, ma anche un deficiente.

Am fully expecting to hear the salient parts from y’all here because, like bush before him, I simply cannot stand the sound of his voice.

This might help…….

http://www.politico.com/livepulse/0210/Republicans_watching_the_clock.html?showall

Ignore.  If Lark types too much drivel, it’s going to be erased and he/she will be on moderation.

He is unprofessional, immature, and arrogant, which is thin skinned.

His analogy on government oversight did not work well. How well did government oversight work when it came to the Toyota problem?

Lark wrote :”Anche tu sei un bambino, ma anche un deficiente.”

What a cowardly and childish piece of lark guano you are Lark, you can’t post a compelling insult in English, so you post a lame one in another language. Get some help…….SERIOUSLY!

magnificent

You must have a different understanding of the word!

On the Daily Kidz Anthony Wiener – probably the dumbest Congressman on the Hill – is live blogging and you should read his comments:
http://www.dailykos.com/story/2010/2/25/840595/-Health-Care-Summit-Liveblog
One comment he made sums up what this is about: “The President is doing a great job teaching here.”
Check that – Louise Slaughter is dumber.

eh uh eeeh  uu oh ummm uh eh.

Did he ever answer Cantor?

wow, not very many women there

Hey Becky, it’s a summit, not a quilting bee! (snark)

After every posting I do I get insulted.

No – ge just dismissed Cantor. This is about Obama stating that there is not much of a difference and then using that to use reconciliation to force through his plan.

What will be interesting is how the mainstream media spins this to Obama’s benefit after.

i love mccains reply:

obama: the campaign is over.
mccain: i’m reminded of that every day!

nice little jab.

smartest person in the room.

room he thinks he’s the smartest world wide, come on get it right Onofre’s arm

wow thanks to all for watching the summit. i would rather scoop my eyes out of their sockets with a hot spork than sit thru it. 

But the comments your interesting…

So we can look forward to wearing other people’s false teeth

We got into one of those too, but declined. However,my husband knew one of the men from his hometown who started the company. He said he coudln’t say “successful” (He had a lisp), but he ended up very rich.

Obama can’t keep the contempt off his face.

And, the answer to whether or not BO is a “socialist” is pretty well resolved by the following.  I don’t really care.  I think his most disturbing attribute is his overall lack of any core knowledge and values.

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/p-j-gladnick/2008/10/08/will-msm-report-obama-membership-socialist-new-party

and “politicizing” the discussion.

What is it if it’s not politics???

did anyone notice the smirk on obamas face when mccain mentioned that the majority of americans DO NOT  want this  debacle of a h/c bill? i dont think he liked the idea that  mcain was making this public.   uh..did he think we didnt know?

And how is that even possible?

Only three female legislaters, besides Nancy, invited.

Did you see the list?

wh wh wha what what….

My, my…….Nazi Pelosi sure is the queen bee there, which leads me to wonder “Who got the honey, ’cause we got the frass!”.

Best part of the summit – lots of those assholes will be long gone this time next year!  Others will be demoted.

All of the Republican points could be signed into law today.  One sentence straight to the point wording.

He constantly reminds us all–he WON!

He’s monopolizing it; not lading it.

Yes, he and his wife have that contempt thing down.

I thought there was a story on Michelle Obama contradicting POTUS on there daughter getting meningitis.  Does anyone recall that story?

Obama must be a little prickly about all teh accusations that he has never left campaign mode since taking office.  He just did his manipulative schtick…accuse your opponent of what you are actually doing every chance you get whether it’s relevant of not.  Keep repeating the lie until they feed it back to you.  What a POS.

What was that crap about demeaning Eric Cantor for bringing the thousands of pages of the health care bill?

Yeah, Obama, way to instill a sense of cooperation.

Maybe someone should have told Mrs. Obama’s husband.  In a speech to nurses just eight days earlier, Barack Obama told the story quite a bit differently (emphasis mine):
When our youngest daughter, Sasha, was diagnosed with meningitis when she was just three months old, it was one of the scariest moments of my life.  And we had to have a spinal tap administered and she ended up being in the hospital for three or four days.  And it was touch and go, we didn’t know whether she’d be permanently affected by it.  It was the nurses who walked us through what was happening and made sure that Sasha was okay.
Well, she wasn’t diagnosed with meningitis, although the fright was real.  How hard is it to get the facts straight so that both Obamas tell the same story?  After all, it’s the fright, not the meningitis, that is the key part of the anecdote.  Moreover, why would Sasha’s father not know the difference?

http://hotair.com/archives/2009/09/19/obama-fudging-another-health-care-horror-story/

I cannot swear anymore.  And just as I am trying to write out the last stupid thing one of the D’s said – and it’s only the D’s – someone else says something even more stupid!  I think so far JB wins the prize for inanity.  The R’s who speak generally preface their remarks with a reflection of what they hear from their voters, consistent with these legislators’ remarks.  BO asked JB to talk about Medicare.  He – JB – begins his remarks by saying something like, ‘I would not be so arrogant to say what the American people want.  I have no idea what they want.’

BO’s ire-producing statement was, ‘During the campaign I was against mandates; but I was brought “kicking and screaming” to accept, we need mandates.’  (He had responded to the R’s comments by saying, we need to manadate purchase of insurance ‘so as to increase risk pools to make the cost of coverage affordable.’)

If you get sick of listening to this farce, my new post is up.  It’s a doozy.

Thanks JustMe

Well, young people can spend 8-10 years in training to be a doctor, go about 150K into debt and then treat medicare people for payment equal to less than it costs in overhead to see them. Or, they can go for a cushy job over at government motors and make $3000 an hour. Which sounds better?

lark your tail feathers are just filthy and clean your cage. also don’t forget to was out your mouth with soap. *DONT_KNOW*

Obama is coming out as the greatest American hero and the most productive President in our history. He is getting re-elected here by 54 percent. After this these debate in under his belt and he will have it under his control. Even thought Democrats are talking about pie in the sky health care – that is what we are going to get – pie in the sky medicare. Our system will end up worse than the British and the Canadian.

“Notion” usually prefaces a bald faced lie.

Today’s lesson:  Narcissists don’t listen.  

Of course Obama has contempt for this entire photo-op.  Since the bill is essentially already written he has no intention of using anything said at the “summit” in the health industry income insurance plan.

Obama is coming off as a true leader. He is well informed, smart and knows exactly what he is talking about.

For those NQbot who think Obama is not that intelligence you should really be watching this meeting. Obama sounds like the smartest guy in the room. By far!

I am not sure what else you expect from your leader. He is on tv discussing intelligently one of the biggest issues this country faces. An issue that has been ignored for a very long time.

That’s humor, right?

…not that intelligence…???

Which goes to prove you, Guest, are not the smartest obot in the basement.

LOL!  You guys are comical!   LOL!

Now that you have made a complete fool of yourself……you can leave.

Please don’t demean jocks….

onofre—LOVE the Nazi Pelosi moniker!
What will the Deutsche version of the House Bill be called, Das Booty?

In case you’re not joking and you really believe in what you wrote.  When Obama uses whole sentences and speaks using big words, this is not a sign of intelligence. Listen to his words. He isn’t using logic, nor facts, and he forgets what the subject is, that he started to talk about. This is not intelligence nor a sign of a true leader. He shows how little information he has. Throughout this summit, he keeps coming back to his original position, he just says it a different way, but it’s still the same position.

So now we see what Durbin did before becoming a Senator – he was another John Edwards ambulence-chaser which is why he is Dick Dirtbag.

He gives one unusual anecdote and gives a lie for an answer that it will only be $250,000 in pain and suffering. What about the thousands of ridiculous negligence lawsuits where people get money for no reason and it only forces malpratice insurance rates up, leading to medical fees up, leading to health insurance rates up, and so-on and so-on.

Clearly the trial lawyers are in the pockets of Durbin and democrats.

Obama is simply burrying the Republicans. And at the same time he is coming out as a hero. The country is doomed with this health care reform except and unless ‘groups and pools’ are eliminated – which I think that will not happen.

Alexander knows a whole lot more about the failure of a health care plan, as we all know after our failure of health care in TN. I can’t watch it, I cannot stand the inability for the Chief Executive to behave in a professional manner. He is a petulant child.

This is humor, right?

Obama just displayed more narcissistic behavoir today.  He isn’t interested in bi-partisanship.  He isn’t interested in the country or the people.  He’s only interested in his ideological agenda.

Real reform would be along the lines of regulating the insurance industry, not forcing people to buy insurance.  Big difference in concept that seems to be lost on Obama.

What is it going to take for Scott Brown to vote for the Democratic bill?

Just a little game of basketball with the President.

We must forgive them for typing these lies.  Obama campaign office has these losers, I mean employees strapped up to electrodes and if they don’t rip these out every so many minuties, they get ZAPPED!  lol

They have convinced themselves that the only way to avoid a 1994 debacle is to manhandle this POS bill through congress via any means necessary. Then when they get a shallacking in Nov they’ll blame Bush, GOP “obstructionism”, but the few still remaining will see the writing on the wall but they are stuck with Obama no matter what.

I want to thank everyone who endured this travesty today. My tolerance for pain isn’t great enough to sit through it without screaming and besides I had to wash my hair. The few snippets I heard have made my blood pressure shoot up like a thermometer in a Texas summer, so I have my hat off to all who listened to the whole thing.

BTW BO makes me want to puke. I used to think I could never feel an emotion as strong as hate. We live and learn. *sigh* 

The Democrats are fear mongering, bringing up these stories about people who die because they don’t have health insurance. Currently, NO ONE in America is denied health care with or without insurance.

They are going to “cram” this next wek and will just say it was what was sgreed to. Most people didn’t watch the cspan and teh network media won’t report it honestly. The whole process is so corrupt now, nothing good can come from it. Nothing. I saw another article today that McCain wants the FDA to tighten down on regulating vitamins. I guess so the pharmas can corner that market as well. Make $2 vitamin C at walmart cost $20. They don’t want to miss a crumb from the table. McCain is just another Washington lobby whore. I am glad McCain lost. He is as much a fraud as Obama, which is saying a lot.

Whatever waste and fraud is going on, it’s on the part of the health providers (hospitals, clinics etc.). When a Medicare patient requires services, he presents his card and the provider (hospital, doctor, et al) bills the system. We all know that Medicare doesn’t pay all of the bill, therefore I’m sure that the bill is padded to cover most shortfalls.

In addition to that, how come hospitals can pay upper management exorbitant bonuses. In some cases up to $3 million. It also brings to mind the pay increase Obama’s wife got when she worked in Chicago.
That’s where all the cost increase in insurance goes.

MO wouldn’t attend unless she could be paid…

It’s time to work the phones and write the letters.

If you vote for this bill, I will not vote for you. I will vote for your Republican opponent.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Here is the CNN clip where Senator McCain  S P O K E   F O R   A M E R I C A N S, and Obama flipped them off.
CNN put up the clip
http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2010/02/25/mccain-obama-face-off/?fbid=rcFRvaV3JYd#comment-3286426

If anyone watches this and was on the fence with Obama, his arrogant attitude today will easily push away from him.

Obama: “The plan presented by  John Boehner doesn’t radically change the system.”

There it is folks!

This is not about healthcare reform, it’s about healthcare overhaul and nationalizing the entire system.

Hey Bill O’Reilly – what part of socialist do you not understand when it comes to Obama?

Republicans have been boxed by the Dems that they only provide for 3 million more in their proposals. They are doomed.

The contrary is true. Obama now has the respect and support of the Dem party that he had almost lost. Obama from today on is a national hero.

Lets see……. Boehner’s plan doesn’t cost anything, Obama”s plan cost Trillions of dollars. Obama says they aren’t radically different, lets do the intelligient thing, go for Obama’s plan. The common sense, would be to go with Boehner’s plan.

Oh what to do, what to do??????????

Frass!  Oh, I love it when someone nails it like this.  Good one, OA.

It’s interesting to me that some in the medical/scientific community are backing away from the “prevention is the solution” mantra about managing illness.

I wonder how Michelle’s anti-obesity program is working.

my 2 yr. old grandson just looked at arabella’s, and held up his little hand and  yelled “high five!”

Obama will bore us into submission:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/article7041663.ece

He does too!

I wonder how HRC felt when she got word BO now advocates mandated coverage…

SMART!  SMART!  HE JUST SAID – and I quote – S-U-P-P-O-S-E-B-L-Y… GEESH…

Obama shaked the health care debate and Republicans were burried in a mass grave.

These people have no memory.  Cut to Bush:  Democrats completely ignored.  The two parties will sooner or later have to figure out to work together for the good of the people or lose the country.

Not Amway!  A company where the people who recruit you make money off you while you do the work.

Maybe the campaigning isn’t over for John McCain.

He is SO NOT the president.

LOL!

Obama refuses to back down. He discusses his plan behind closed doors.

“Some folks have the notion that my bill won’t work. Forget about those props the Republlicans used. Let me show you what the bill really looks like …

Well, hey, he’s a foreigner.

Republicans were destroyed today. And that’s too bad.

I swear all the time in real life, but not on the internet.

Just be glad he didn’t draw Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, the ex-Miss California and Anna Nicole Smith into the mix – he usually blames them for most problems.

:*

That was O being O! Typical arrogant, condescending putz, but that was exactly what Americans needed to see yet again, to remind them of the need to decimate this fraud AND his followers in November 2010 and 2012!

Ah you’re in good company.

Outtakes

I saw where you put out that challenge, but I’m not very optimistic that they’ll understand the hypocrisy. Professor Zinn made such profound statements seem so simple and logical and humane. I don’t understand how anyone (anyone who thinks), could study him and then turn to Saul Alinsky.

Over a 10 yr period is the answer 6K annually per the 30 million uninsured? Can’t any of the 30 million uninsured even pay $10 for a doc visit? Can’t any of them pay anything?

The math doesn’t matter.

This is about nationalizing healthcare. It’s about socialism.

Near the end, Obama responded to John Boehner’s proposal with:  “The plan presented by  John Boehner doesn’t radically change the system.”  
I wanted to believe that the job might change Obama, but he was raised with socialism, was mentored by socialists, and he never had a job in the free market. He only understands government control and unfortunately he has the controls.

Me thinks Obama protest a bit much.

I called all 3 of my Critters already today…and got an extra bonus of an exchange with my local Rep who rtnd my call because I want a tabled veto override from Richardson on not allowing the people, Legislature, who ok the monies for state, to not have access to confidential info of contracts and programs the Gov tells the agencies to do. Now why wud the Gov VETO a bill that gives the Finance committees their right for oversight?  Hmmm I’m on a ROLLLL. 

…and I made another contribution to Senator McCain for his excellent voice today.

But I like the fact that CNN posted the clip.  

Krauthammer:  ”His (Obama) narcissism knows no bounds.”  

Probably the most accurate comment ever made about Obama.

What planet do you hail from? 

I don’t think so. Not with the performance Obama gave today. It is extremely difficult to beat an incumbent President unless he commits some indiscression and Obama keeps himself pretty busy to have time for any indiscression.

He will be re elected in 2012.

I have to say it is interesting to see Obama beat the top brass of the Republican party – their best World Series Champion team – all by himself without much help from the rest of his party.

“Anecdotes which are not verifiable”

When I consider this Health Care Bill, I think of a letter I received from Little Annie Ketchum, from the small town of Mayberry, North Carolina.  Well, her family was always dirt poor, and all she ever wanted was the money to pay for an operation so that she could donate one of her kidneys to her dying little brother.  But her family couldn’t afford insurance, and so little brother Billie couldn’t get that operation.  And little Billie Ketchum died more than a year ago on Christmas Eve, his family standing around, wondering what they had done wrong.  And to this day, little Annie still grieves . . .

Hokma

at this point in time there is no getting over what people may use secondhand. It may get to the stage where there is a one set of teeth per family!

Wait! next they will be  sold at garage sales! >:o  (jk)

Like he had this summit planned for how long and goes without all the information needed? UGH we knew all along he was lacking the brain power to be a leader.

I hope you have good insurance Guest, as it will need to kick in pretty fast using words like that. You need a Dr asap!

Someone was keeping track of the time:  
MataHarley 11
Minute count on who held the table at the summit thus far:  
DEMOCRATS: 108 MINUTES  
REPUBLICANS: 56 MINUTES  
· President Obama Spoke For 58 Minutes.  
· Democrats Spoke For 50 Minutes.  
· Republicans Spoke For 56 Minutes.

Now that this dreadful crap is over, thank you for your comments and insight.  I watched 10 minutes in the a.m. when Hairy Reed was on and got very annoyed, then watched during lunch, with enough smirks from bobo to last me the day.  I don’t think bobo changed any minds, and he doesn’t look presidential.  More like a college kid trying to run a meeting with the older frat boys.

LOL OMG arabella. he looks like he wont need to eat for a week!

buzzlatte, I’d sure like to see a link to this.  Nothing comes up when I google it.  Can this possibly be true?

I’m still hung up on the cost to the taxpayers of 6K annually per the 30million uninsured equaling 2.3 trillion dollars over 10 yrs. Certainly they can’t all be indigent. My guess: 1/3 can afford to pay but don’t, another 1/3 may need some subsidy & only the remaining 1/3 are going to cost 6k annually…just how much money is ear marked for friggin’ bike trails? This is a RIP OFF!!!!!

Living will. Health care proxy. Good pain management.

Poor Mr. Olberman Senior. Not bad enough that the man is dying in agony, he has a crass son who will use his father as a prop. Olberman has to keep having his drama queen moments.

He is a jackass. Doesn’t he know how (unfortunately) NOT unique his situation is? That is total trash talk when a guy like Olberman, with all his money and status has to act like he’s been wronged by society. But it’s his poor father who suffered, not him.  Many of his viewers could not afford to buy one of Olberman’s ties, and he’s crying about his father’s medical situation. At least if you have money you have more options in terms of making a dying person more comfortable.

He is really gone round the bend.

I didn’t catch the whole Summit today.  Caught a little this morning, and then later this afternoon on the radio.  It was good to hear all these Reps sounding like grownups for once.  They seemed prepared and ready for discussion. 

Lamar Alexander made some good points and I thought Dick Durbin made a good presentation.  However, I heard Boehner say that the “driving force of healthcare cost increases was litigation and defensive medicine.”  Patently untrue!  Doesn’t mean we couldn’t save a chunk of change with tort reform, but it would hardly save the day.  I thought he did very poorly.

It struck me that a lot of this has to do with trust.  And it’s that trust thing where the Dems fall short, even though most voters agree that reform is necessary.  Medicaire alone will kill us financially, and there are too many horror stories out there.  People are suffering unnecessarily.

But then, I picked up an piece over at Salon by Glenn Greenwald, a really withering indictment of the games the Dems have played on this and other things.  There’s a vid at the bottom, a really surprising short interview with libertarian/conservative Rep John Shaddeg. 

Interesting!  Link here:

Dems not hot for reconciliation either, per #43 at Flopping Aces:
Dem Asks If There Is “Something Wrong” With Circumventing Senate Rules
Senate Democrats Said It Would Be “An Outrage,” “A Nonstarter,” “A Real Mistake,” “Very Ill-Advised,” “The Worst”
REP. JOHN DINGELL (D-MI): “I’m Curious, Why In The Name Of Common Sense Are We Being So Fussy About Having The Decisions In The People’s House And The People’s Senate Decided On The Basis Of A Simple Majority. 51 Votes. And If There’s Something Wrong With That I Wish Somebody Would Tell Me.” (Rep. Dingell, Health Care Summit, 2/25/10)
SENATE DEMOCRATS BELIEVE THERE IS “SOMETHING WRONG” WITH FORCING HEALTH CARE THROUGH
SEN. KENT CONRAD (D-ND): “I Don’t Believe Reconciliation Was Ever Intended For The Purpose Of Writing This Kind Of Substantive Reform Legislation Such As Health Care Reform.” “I have said publicly and privately what I believe. I don’t believe reconciliation was ever intended for the purpose of writing this kind of substantive reform legislation such as health care reform, such as climate change.” (Sen. Conrad, Congressional Record, S.3957, 3/30/09)
SEN. ROBERT BYRD (D-WV): Reconciliation On Healthcare “An Outrage That Must Be Resisted.” “I was one of the authors of the legislation that created the budget ‘reconciliation’ process in 1974, and I am certain that putting health-care reform and climate change legislation on a freight train through Congress is an outrage that must be resisted.” (“The End Of Bipartisanship For Obama’s Big Initiatives?” The Washington Post, 3/22/09)
SEN. JAY ROCKEFELLER (D-WV): “Reconciliation Is A Nonstarter … It Doesn’t Work. … It Opens Itself Up To An Endless, Unstoppable Number Of Amendments, Which They Will Have Lined Up, 800 Amendments, Whatever It Is.” (“Rockefeller Dismisses Reconciliation As An Option For Health Care Reform,” Roll Call, 11/17/09)
SEN. BLANCHE LINCOLN (D-AR): “I Will Not Accept Any Last-Minute Efforts To Force Changes To Health Insurance Reform Issues Through Budget Reconciliation, And Neither Will Arkansans.” (“Dem Impasse On Health Bill Continues,” Politico, 1/27/10)
SEN. BYRON DORGAN (D-ND): “We Shouldn’t Stretch Reconciliation For … Health Care.” “Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-N.D.), an appropriator, said today it would be ‘highly unusual’ to use reconciliation for climate change or health care legislation. ‘We shouldn’t stretch reconciliation for climate change or health care,’ he said. ‘It would be very hard to justify.’” (“Democratic Senators Not Ready To Embrace Reconciliation,” CongressNow, 3/17/09)
SEN. JOE LIEBERMAN (I-CT): “I Think It’s A Real Mistake To Try To Jam Through The Total Health Insurance Reform, Health Care Reform Plan That The Public Is Either Opposed To Or Of Very, Very Passionate Mixed Minds About.” (CNN’s “State Of The Union,” 8/23/09)
SEN. MARY LANDRIEU (D-LA): “Was Intended For Deficit Reduction, And It Should Not Be Used For Other Things.” (“Why The Democrats Can’t Govern,” The New Republic, 4/15/09)

Guess he’s never heard of morphine.  I had a major surgery 2 years ago and not one moment of pain…although I did make some humerous comments to my daughter while on drugs.  Her 91 y/o mother-in-law had very effective pain management after her stroke and all the complications that went with that. 

Pain management is what Obama supports with the elderly now.  So, OK, we’ve got that.  Now butt out.

Here’s what I remember:  It was on politico -politico44- and it was said as those that went to vote on the intelligence bill were going back to Blair House.  

LOL–What I can’t wait for is the movie version of “My Sister’s Teeth.”  They could do a horror version where the teeth jump out of the water glass at night and creep up to the living sister’s ear and talk to her in her dreams . . . “Health care . . . If I only had Obamacare! . . . “

And incidentally–how many insurance plans cover false teeth anyway?  I don’t think O-Whole health would have done her much good . . .

Xlnt, buzzlatte . . . tho’ you cleaned it up a bit from what I and other followers of CrudeSpeak would say by clipping off the -HOLE at the end.

Guess he’s never heard about hospice care either. Even if somebody you love is in the hospital and about to die, hospice practioners (including doctors, nurses, psychologists who are experts in the field) are available to help you and your family.

Keif, you’re supposeably a smart person, so I hate to ask you. But why don’t you act like a normal average person in this situation. Like pick up a phone book, use the internets, talk to the staff at the hospital etc. Like, find out what’s out there to help you and your dad. The rest of us do this all the time.

But no, you have to have your little drama queen temper tantrum. When someone is dying the least, I mean the very least, anyone can do is give that person his privacy. You are a lousy son and a bad person.

oowawa–  Yeah….I think I saw that movie, with Obama at the center of the supper table and all. The plot had to do with some kind of secret code….was it “The DeMented Code?” or something?

He constantly reminds us all . . .
How hard is that to remember, getitnow–
Here’s a little rhyme to help us all to get it through our thick skulls:

Thee One Won
And it’s Done Done Done–
Thee One Won!
Thee One Won!

He constantly reminds us all . . . 
How hard is that to remember, getitnow– 
Here’s a little rhyme to help us all to get it through our thick skulls:

And it’s Done Done Done
Thee One Won!!!

Next he’ll be telling sad stories about his pet dog’s health care problems. For parents who demand privacy for theif children, Ma and Pa Obama have no problem using the poor things when it suits them.

I agree that Obama’s children are off limits. Too bad their parents don’t leave them out of it.

One thing is for sure, none of those Republicans that were in that room today are able to beat Obama in a general election. The Republicans are going to need someone from outside like a Palin/Dobbs ticket. But no governor or Senator will be able to beat him in the next election.

Maybe a Glenn Beck/Greta Van Susteren ticket could, but they must have been trained in the media on a daily basis. Nothing else will work.

Just Me–
Looks like the prequel to “Jaws”

jbjd, i had to run get my barf bag when i read your pelosi bird quote.

m lark, go find a bird cage and enclose yourself in shame. putting the bs on here you do is polluting the bandwidth.

Portia—Well, you come from good stock if you have kin from Young County. Wonderful people and beautiful country. I knew one of the Graham’s years ago. I know your dad must have loved the ranch life.
It’s the best!

Yes Hokma, McCain suffered torture in an enemy prison camp for his country, but right now he’s old and in the way, and he’s got a funny lump on the side of his face and he’s all stiff and everything.  Thee One, on the other hand, is handsome and tall, and when he speaks he sometimes sticks his chin up in the air in a very striking way so that some people even get tingles up their leg . . .
And did I mention that He Won?

Even more insulting than Thee One’s reminding McCain that “the election is over,” was his body language when he said it–laconic–slouched over–his head propped up on his hand–total disrespectful dismissal of an unimportant has-been loser . . .

to Guest… You are absolutely right. Obama haters are just not able to swallow the truth about Obama!!!
All those here on this blog just trying outrun each other in angry  remarks, because they can not stand that Obama is  President of USA, and He is the boss. Obama was great today and that  is why they are so angry.
Yes , Obama was a rookie, but He is a quick learner, and  enough is enough. It is time for term limits for conressman-woman and Senat, no more lobbying after they live ther jobs in USA Government.

haters????? your having a laugh right LOL 
 
angry remarks = common sense 
 
Yes , Obama was a rookie, and still living up to the title. 
 
mandy you need to get a sense of humor it could help.

And did I mention that He Won?

LOL—Yes, but I think you should learn to say it in every language represented at the UN.  ”He”  would want you to and  “His will be done”..

Thanks!

Barry Soetoro copied this idea of a summit from the Clintons….Bill used these summits all the time…can’t Barry come up with some type of original idea that is his own!  Clinton, 2012!
