Obama Kicks The Shit Out Of The GOP

In case you missed it, the GOP invited Obama to speak at their retreat today. He accepted. And he upped their offer. Obama asked the GOP to allow the question and answer time to the televised. They said yes. Ooooops.

He seriously handed them their ass.



That's just a taste. Link. How about some more?



Yummy. Link.

I agree with you 100%. His words don't turn into action.

I don't know what speech the author of this stupid blog was watching but what I saw was the president getting laughed at as he back peddled on the healthcare mistakes. He looked like a bumbling idiot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=722oWqDzQJg&feature=player_embedded

Astolphe, hate to break it to you but 1) You see insurance companies are not charities, you pay them to cover you. 2)Sorry if we dont boo hoo you over the insurance YOU signed up for. If I used Geico insurance, I wouldn't cry when they want to use Chinese body parts on my car.

Can either of you mental midgets tell me what part of the current healthcare proposal would lower those prescription costs?? Didn't think so.

...well, at least he used his real name.

Now now, Eric, you shouldn't make fun of Mr. Anonymous, after all, I didn't use my real name, just an internet alias. My name is James G Young. There, NOW you can make fun of him.

And I'm so glad you pointed out that insurance companies are not charities, I never would have known that if you hand't mentioned it. For some bizarre reason I was assuming that the premiums I pay would afford me some coverage. Gee, how stupid am I, huh? Oh, my insurance isn't through Geico, it's with Aetna healthcare. I should know better than to think some fly-buy-night company like that would be any good.

You are right about one thing, Mr Anonymous, I can't name anyting in the current healthcare proposal that would lover prescription costs, mainly because the current healthcare proposal is nothing but a steaming pile of shit because the Democrats are spineless fucks, the Republicans are greedy fucks and half of each side are owned by the insurance companies.

Dave, I don't know how you respond to these fucktards, As far as I'm concerned, it's just easier to call them all brain-dead pig fuckers and be done with it.

Ready. Fire. Aim.
It's really ironic how the guys who always use firearms referances in their arguments, don't actually take the time to aim those arguments. I suspect they are also missing toes or fingers in the real world as well.

Anonymous (real creative there; why can't people just make up a name?) -
Aetna tried to convince me that anesthesia was "medically unnecessary" when I had a c-section. A few years later my next insurance company (I believe it was Prudential) refused to pay for the second c-section because they thought that a 5'0" / barely over 100 pound woman is the perfect candidate for a VBAC (vaginal birth after cesarean), especially when the baby is average-sized and breach. Obviously their paper-pushers know way more than my ob/gyn. Even the top insurance companies are ridiculously corrupt and make their profits off of screwing over people.

The current healthcare proposal doesn't do squat. That's why many people want Obama to grow a pair and insist on real reform.

Dave, buddy, this is no place to relive your childhood trauma. The things your mother told you should be bottled up and suppressed not aired in a public forum.

I know you have no answer to truth and superior intelligence. Ignore is your best defense. I'd hate to see you have to resort to "I know you are but what am I?" So I will leave you alone sweetie. Peace and love :) :) :)

Elaine, I agree with you 101% in the fact that our health and insurace industries need a lot of work. I coud tell you plenty of medical horror stories from my family. Double billing, not paying, retracting payment, out of control prescription costs.

The problem is that the Democrat's(Obama's) health care plan addresses none of it. There is zero in it to address the health care problems of everyday Americans. It simply forces you to buy insurance, pay fines or go to jail and places even more costs on the health industry. Balls have nothing to do with it Obama has plenty of balls. The problem is he has more balls than brains. This is HIS health plan and it sucks. Balls don't fix stupid. If "balls" means attempting to sidestep constitutional checks and balances, you need a reality check.

I feel we need health reform, go back to square one and make health care affordable. A week in the hospital shouldn't financially ruin someone without insurace. Prescriptions that cost 50 cents to manufacture shouldn't cost 50 dollars.

BTW, it's just easier to post as anonymous than to sign in to screw with small minded idiots for a couple of minutes
