    OMG I CANNOT FOLLOW HIM. I just got in (will read other thread after OblahBlahBlah)

    I was listening in the car…What IS he saying?

    IT’S ALL BUSH’S FAULT, and BTW – I’m RUSHING THIS THROUGH BECAUSE A WOMAN HAS LEUKEMIA?!?!?!?!

    Yet it will not start in 2013?

    Huh?

    OH! And the “Stars are aligned”

    He must have had the Grand TOTUS in the back of the room. He was straight on to camera

    FF, someone on TC referred to that big device he’s been using as Screen Capture Reader of the United States.

    SCROTUS.

    Here’s a very good article that points out that this Obama Plan is not about health care but is about health insurance:

    comments are funny. is anyone watching O? i don’t have the stomach for it.

  11. Freedom Fairy, on July 22, 2009 at 8:58 PM said:

    I’m going back to read the other thread…

  12. catsrclean, on July 22, 2009 at 9:03 PM said:

    I’m watching the Food Network. I do not want to contribute to him getting ratings. Kind of like how U.W. avoids giving the Huffington Post ‘hit.” But I am reading about him!!!!

  13. deadenders, on July 22, 2009 at 9:08 PM said:

    I flipped past for a second and all I heard was “We Inherited”.
    FUCK YOU OBAMA if you didn’t know what the job entailed you shouldn’t have run for it. I’m sick of these schmucks acting like they weren’t in Congress before Jan 20.

  14. Palin4Prez, on July 22, 2009 at 9:09 PM said:

    I heard Barfy may drop public funding of abortions to push his health plan through.

    NARAL? NOW? Crickets.

  15. catsrclean, on July 22, 2009 at 9:10 PM said:

    I read a comment some where that Obama is making the Bush Administration look like angels :-)

  16. imustprotest, on July 22, 2009 at 9:17 PM said:

    P4 I don’t think he said he’d drop the public funding of abortions, I think, when asked he did his usual dance around the question saying something about focusing on getting the health care reform and basically didn’t answer the question.

    If is not good enough for the politicians and their families, than it is not good enough for average americans

  18. imustprotest, on July 22, 2009 at 9:22 PM said:

    DE he’s inherited nothing! The bad economy is yours, mine, everyone on this blog, our children, grandchildren and probably great grandchildren! Obama? He’s set for life. He’ll have his small pension from his few years (months) as a US Senator, plus his full pension for POTUS….for life.

  19. bullmoosegal, on July 22, 2009 at 9:26 PM said:

    I tried being an honest and open live-blogger, but couldn’t keep snarkiness out of some of it, especially for these claims:
    1. We inherited all of it – none of it is our fault
    2. Cutting Medicare benefits isn’t really cutting them because they’ll save on drug costs from the freely-given donation by the pharm. co.’s, and all of this will amount to helping seniors.
    3. Even thought the deficit was only 1.3 trillion, and is now 7.2 trillion, this is is 2.1 trillion less than it would have been had we not acted, and that means that we’ve saved you all money, even though we haven’t reduced the deficit as much as we wanted, but again, it’s not my fault.

  20. Freedom Fairy, on July 22, 2009 at 9:28 PM said:

    HA

    bill-o said he spent 30K (?) at Harvard and couldn’t understand anything POTUS said

  21. RalphB, on July 22, 2009 at 9:31 PM said:

    glad i didn’t hear any of that. would have been bucket inducing.

  22. Uppity Woman, on July 22, 2009 at 9:31 PM said:

    If bill spent 30k at harvard, even considering his age today, he only spent five minutes there.

    I’d rather have my teeth drilled and re-drilled (without any anesthesia) than listen to him.

  25. Freedom Fairy, on July 22, 2009 at 9:36 PM said:

    UW – I just caught the statement out of one ear. That’s why the question mark. He could have said 430 K for all I know…

    but his point was made

    Funny Ralph!

    I missed oblahblah. I do plan on reading the link on the other thread to the proposed plan. Bedtime reading as it were, but from what I’ve heard an opportunity has been squandered.

    Tweety was bitching today about the people who dare question the heritage of the man who changed his story about his citizenship three times. Then he proceeeded to hold up a black and white copy of a pdf as “proof.”

    FF, how long would it take you to make a pdf that looked exactly like a real birth certificate? I’m pretty sure I could do it in a couple of days.

    From a commenter at NQ:

    Comment by Ani | 2009-07-22 22:29:26

    I just read the quote of the night on HotAir…bears repeating:

    Obama took six months picking out a puppy for his daughters but he wants to pass health care in two weeks.

    Priceless.

    I can’t watch zero without drinking whiskey early in the morning. I work, so that was not going to happen today. He is unworthy of liver damage as well.

  37. Freedom Fairy, on July 22, 2009 at 10:49 PM said:

    Palin – If I wouldn’t go to jail, a good day would do it. Maybe less. But I wouldn’t do it. It’s illegal! ;-D

  38. Uppity Woman, on July 22, 2009 at 10:49 PM said:

    WMCB, I know Ani. She’s a stitch.

    McN, I didn’t watch him or I surely would have cracked the Chevas.

  39. TheAnti-partyParty, on July 22, 2009 at 10:51 PM said:

    I think Obama is a fictional character. In fact, he’s probably a hologram. And whoever programmed him didn’t do a very good job, because he’s constantly telling conflicting versions and making errors in statements about his background.

  41. Uppity Woman, on July 22, 2009 at 10:53 PM said:

    A hologram. Love it.

  43. Uppity Woman, on July 22, 2009 at 10:58 PM said:

    Oops wrong max headroom. Ah well you get the hologram picture.

  44. Palin4Prez, on July 22, 2009 at 10:59 PM said:

    UW,
    I think that BC post predated my appearance by a month. I showed up when Palin was selected and I thought McCain finally had a fighting chance.

    FF,
    Too bad. It would make a kickass T-shirt.

  45. RalphB, on July 22, 2009 at 11:02 PM said:

    I made the mistake of going over to TL and read a bit of what BDT thought of the press conference. Definitely got a tingle up his leg. He thinks O is a master at the top of his game and predicts a 6 pt increase in his poll numbers tomorrow.

    I’ve seen lots of folks eaten up with the dumbass but I think he just won some kind of prize for it.

    I would go to jail. For impersonating a Lying Sack of Crap

    [sigh] Day late and an Obamadollar behind.

    Scott – were you real active on HRC’s blog on her campaign site when it was still crap back during the primaries?

  51. deadenders, on July 22, 2009 at 11:53 PM said:

    FF I don’t know if I was super active on her blog but I did post comments there. It would have been under scott in jupiter.
    Why?

  57. WMCB, on July 23, 2009 at 12:18 AM said:

    I’m going to go ahead and give my summary of the presser:

    Most ordinary folks have no idea what the man said, and STILL have no idea what the hell this healthcare bill does.

    But they know we have to hurry up and do “it” (whatever it is) right away without reading or thinking about it, because…um…Obama got some letters, and it made him sad.

    And he’s not blaming nor has he ever blamed Republicans for all that stuff he inherited that is all Bush’s fault.

    He’s pulled the economy back from the brink, but it’s still not his problem nor is anything that happens going forward his fault.

    We are going to have to sacrifice things that don’t make us healthy, and that will pay for healthcare. (huh?)

    Kids with constant throat infections won;t get their tonsils out, because doctor Obama says so.. Tough titty if it hurts, kid – suck it up and eat some ice cream.

    Take some red or blue pills and chill, man.

    Oh, and policemen are stupid.

  58. mcnorman, on July 23, 2009 at 12:28 AM said:

    Hah, if that smartass O’Reilly couldn’t make heads or tails out of zero’s speech, we’ve reached another low point.
    He’s going bonkers trying to figure out what POTUS said. He should have been this rabid during he suck up primary interview.

  59. surfergrrl, on July 23, 2009 at 12:31 AM said:

    imust,

    that is SO SWEET! Thank you!!!!!

    and yes, I love you and every one on this blog VERY MUCH !

    Remember the republican that said ” the healthcare plan would be obama’s waterloo”? Well it just happens that last night a movie “Waterloo Bridge” with Vivian Leigh and Robert Taylor was playing the same time obummer was speaking. I took it as an omen and watched it. It may have worked!!

  67. utahwoman, on July 23, 2009 at 10:25 AM said:

    Well I listened and I learned. Sometimes you need to listen to those you disagree with or despise to learn.
    Here is what I saw. I saw a person scrambling for support. Yes scrambling .
    First he blamed the past administration:

    Come on Barry you can do better then that can’t you ? Even republicans saw the mess that administration did and may I point out to you that the same crack heads that supported Bush’s actions are the same ones supporting yours ?

    Then he blamed 2 Republicans for not going along with his bill:

    Come on Barry please change your teleprompter to a new tune this one is getting old ,very old we as a nation already know who it is fighting you and I am betting one was Michelle Bachman, horror of horrors it is a woman and a conservative one at that and damn a Christian as well.

    Then you cried about the right wing extremists spewing their message of hate and contempt.
    Ok Barry you need to come up with something new.The crowds have heard the stuff and are getting bored and walking away. Do you hear that? Yes Barry that is the sound of footsteps leaving the room as you speak from the ones that used to adore you.
    Can you hear that sound Barry ? That is the sound of your approval rating going in the crapper

    Americas health care is in a crisis:

    Hey Barry This is “Single Payer” government health care, which has failed everywhere it has ever been implemented. It will force private insurance out of the system and you will be forced into the government plan. Employers will opt out of private insurance benefits to save money and force you into the plan. This is a dangerous and deadly monster that will cause misery and death for millions of Americans. There is NO crisis in healthcare. Only 7% of Americans do not have insurance and of those (47 million), 28 million can afford it but choose not to buy it or provide their own insurance through personal bonds. About 12 million are illegal aliens. That leaves 7 million people who cannot afford it. So are we to destroy the best health care system on Earth for 7 million people and force 293 million of us to suffer and die along with them? I think not.

    So some appointed czar by the anointed one will have your records on a disk along with all other baby boomers and be able to compile the data of what we are treated for and and make cuts to what is covered.
    CAN YOU SAY EUTHANASIA BOYS AND GIRLS ?
    Hey Barry you finally got one right. You will save your gang of thugs in DC money and maybe stop social security from folding. Answer is right there for us all to see. We baby boomers pay into it but are mass murdered by your lack of health care so we do not collect what we put in. Great plan are you signing up on this plan and your wife and daughters ? I bet not.

    Barry talked a lot and darn little was anything the average Joe could understand, I sure as hell did not. I heard nothing that gave me one damn thing I did not know by reading what is in the bill via my congressman and I am telling you this thing is the finale nail in Americas coffin.
    Tax and spend
    Apologizing to the people that want us dead
    Carbon tax that will cripple us
    National health care that will finally kill us
    WTG Barry O, you sure as hell have done a great job of change.

  68. Uppity Woman, on July 23, 2009 at 1:36 PM said:

    Ah God, Utah, you should at least get some kind of award for listening to him. I just can’t. I especially can’t watch his stern, Principal’s Office pinched look on his face. I expect him to wag his finger all the time.

  69. Hal, on July 23, 2009 at 1:57 PM said:

    Didn’t bother to watch, either….as DE said,
    barf’s favorite line is “we inherited this mess.”

    Yeah right….and proceeded to make, not just
    a mess, but a complete disaster out of
    everything.

    And barf acts like he wasn’t part of the
    congressional gang that got us INTO
    this mess? He stood by while McCain
    was hooted down and JM’s warnings
    discounted by the likes of deposed Fannie
    Mae head Franklin Raines and his sidekick
    Barney Frank.

    My fave line from the Pajama guy was his
    closing remark:

    “5:57PM Final thought: In high school, I once
    spent an entire weekend trying to get this girl to unsnap the button fly on my 501s. That was
    less frustrating than tonight’s press conference.”

    Amen…Very lucky I didn’t watch, or would have
    filled the bucket ….
