Obama's Sunday Talk Show Healthcare Blunder

Yup. The soda has lost it's fizzle.

Hey Vivian! You're quoting the Dem Media on that. 72-74% of all their statistics are made up. CBS CNN. They only poll democrats.

They call homes during regular working hours. The people there are not at work. Hmm... Skewed demographics.

Remember when Bill Clinton was impeached? 4 counts, 2 stuck.

The CNN headline read:

CLINTON FOUND INNOCENT OF 2 CHARGES!!

The real story was: that a president was found guilty of 2 charges.

Here's how it works:

Democrat Media LIES in order to further their candidate. No news at all. There might be a grain of truth in there somewhere. Maybe.

Don't go thinking I'm Republican, I'm not. I am Center, but I appear very right to those that are very left. Perspective.

All that said: I DON'T HAVE ANY HEALTH CARE AT ALL, AND I DO NOT WANT THIS BILL PUSHED ON ME.

They have the votes and they have the supposed seats of power. Go ahead and vote on all the Socialist legislature. The Democrat problem is that they are spineless. Gutless to do anything unless they can blame it on a equally gutless RINO. It is no wonder they are afraid of the 2nd amendment. You have to wonder when they will try to limit who can vote. Oh I forgot. They have ACORN to vote mutiple times for them. Now if they can only get the illegals the right to vote.

Too bad that this Acorn attorney will sit down with Iran (without condition )yet he is too gutless to sit down to be interviewed by Fox News.

I was going to put in my 2 cents, but I see you already did it for me.Thank you

"After eight years of giving away the country to the highest bidder, its time to recognize we voted out the schlocks who squandered the country. It damn clear that we can't be turning back the clock to the ridiculous ways of Bush and conservatives."

Amen, Hank!

72-74% of the public consistently polls (CBS, CNN, multiple different polls) in favor of President Obama on Healthcare Reform, and he certainly seems determined to enact the will of the people on this, which is exactly why he won in a landslide. The people elected him and prayed that he would follow through on Healthcare reform, which he is doing now, thank the Lord!!

As a highly seasoned (ahem!) medical professional who cares for patients and reviews charts every day, let me just say that reform is WAY overdue and will literally save at least a billion dollars in its first year.

Just because massive profit is made by many of those who are in the background, agitating the ignorant and uneducated to demonstrate against their own best interests, this doesn't mean that it's right to maintain the status quo so that these schlocks can sell the misery of the sick poor.

This legislation separates sheep from goat in short order: read Matthew 25. It's amazingly clear.

hey a knew one..lol..

any one who is intelligent enough or decent enough or one not profiting from the sale of baby parts who have been slaughtered in America's Abortion mills., Murder INC {better known as omg "Legal" Murder/Abotion] or maybe earlier in our history when America was slaughtering another group of our brothers and sisters-the entire population of innocent African Americans with Legal Slavery/

not to mention America's esteemed Polititians INFACT=NOT IN-PERSONAL OPINION OR BELIEF-Using and applying the exact unjustices,legislative schemes and smokescreens "WE" did then to continue the attrcities of Legal Slavery=as "WE" are using now to continue the HOLLOCAST Against all our innocent brothers and sisters at their Earliest stages of his or her live--

neweyz...your using the hillarious contention that anyone challenging or didagreeing or not falling for one of Hussain Obama's schemes-well then that person must be an enemy...lol

at least its a different ploy to the boring attacks against any and all persons who are NOT capable,decent enough,or able to stand up for decency,Humanity,Justice,what is right and wrong,and most importantly those who are Against God period.....

in contrast to the usual pitiful strategy of Labeling all those honorable enough to "challenge" Hussain Obama

so falsly as "Racist" or"Political"

Get a Life

Wait to see how it shakes out, at least.

Consider that all he's competing with is the extreme popularity contest for the Value Challenged, the president will get a chance to be heard over the mindless shouting thats been going on.

After all the uproar lately, its clear that conservatives have nothing constructive to offer - nothing to help the country out of the financial crisis or the healthcare crisis. After eight years of giving away the country to the highest bidder, its time to recognize we voted out the schlocks who squandered the country. It damn clear that we can't be turning back the clock to the ridiculous ways of Bush and conservatives.

All the huffin' and puffin' by all these the bellicose reactionaries is whining at its worst. When are conservatives gonna suck it up and admit they screwed the country with their liberal crony giveaways and phony war profiteering.

hardly anyone in congress has everr run a business, but you and all of us have put ourselves in their hands, so lets not decide that to be a deciding factor that they lack humility needed. to be knowlegable ane have moral reposibilty would be helpful.

glenna willoughby of FL 9:07PM September 18, 2009

President Obama going on 5 tv shows to clarify, establish and promote healthcare is definitely the right thing to do. He should never fear challenges because to be President is a Challenge in itself. I do believe that it is his enemies that Fear that President Obama will get the upperhand by talking directly to the people with truth, honesty and integrity.

that lady manager of Acorn was busted by cop interesting to see what going on the next few day on the news, Obama suck he screw up on the bail out Bank declear bankcrupcy, GM sale 55% of their stock to OPEL in Euro, and now Acorn health insurance and medicare reform is just one more thing we have to do is to give money to Madam the Murder for them for their spending spree. Obama is sending tax money away to pointless people that is out off control this stuff must be stop, or our latter generation will have to pay back alot. Carter should have keep his mouth shut everytime he on the new he always say the wrong thing and get boo by people, Obama in pass is jum the gun and a racist back up the professor fail to cool down and show his identification, in the pass during the carter energy crisis was the problem when he pull the america out of middle east completly the got war in there and gas prices were the main isue because american get long line at the pump without gas, he lost his re election bid to Reagan and Reagan have to put american back to the middle east for it own interest on gas.

These legal Documents show Barack Obama suing Citibank under the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA), filed 7/6/1994, terminated 12/4/97, and settled 2/14/98. They show Obama and the other lawyers got $950,000 from Citibank in legal fees without finding any evidence of discrimination (University of Saint Louis achieves):

It was a legalized protection racket perpetrated on our nations banks, and part of a widespread systematic shakedown, described in great detail in this article from the year 2000: "The Trillion-Dollar Bank Shakedown That Bodes Ill for Cities":

http://www.city-journal.org/html/10_1_the_trillion_dollar.html

Obama, other members of ACORN, Bill Clinton, members of the Clinton Administration, and members of congress from both parties explain what happened in their own words in these videos:

The New York times explained the problem this created for banks as early as 2003, and explained what additional regulatory action the Bush administration tried to initiate to protect the banks, to cope with this, "New Agency Proposed to Oversee Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae":

http://www.nytimes.com/2003/09/11/business/new-agency-proposed-to-oversee-freddie-mac-and-fannie-mae.html?sec=&spon=&pagewanted=1

Thomas Sowell summarized this in his column, "Do Facts Matter?":

Washington Post ("Where Was Sen. Dodd? Playing the Blame Game On Fannie and Freddie"):

If you didn't know about this, that is because most members of the media are still drinking the Obama Kool-Aid, giving the president standing ovations at White House press conferences. Most have no background in finance or understanding of the gravity of this situation. Less enthusiastic members of the press don't get invited to these celebrations, but they don't want to be seen spoiling the party either. This pattern of behavior must be stopped to protect the economic future of our country. Don’t take my word for it; take a look at the evidence I've assembled here to see for yourself. The nation's economy has never been run from the nation's capital. No one there knows how to do it, and no one ever should. No one in Obama's administration has ever run a business, so they lack the humility needed to recognize their own limitations.
