    Fellow MMers—

    I think ridiculing a narcissist like Soetoro and his emotionally dysfunctional “wife” is a perfect counter-strategy for his raised-chin approach to the Nation’s affairs.

    The mainstream media may not carry our drumbeat on their news “cycle”, but you have to believe that the scumbags in Soetoro’s Propaganda Ministry are combing these blogs.

    Keep the satire and ridicule flowing. We are good at it. And unlike the Code Stinkies who could only chant “war criminal”, we are so much more sophisticated at hitting this Small Boy where it hurts— in his cover story that says he is articulate, intelligent, and (as his boyfriend Sean Penn said) elegant.

    Limericks can be fun and lasting. Here’s one
    from Doug in Iowa:

    “There once was a boy named Barry
    Who some say to this day is a fairy.
    With a mask as his foil
    To hid his turmoil
    He persuaded a Clingon to marry.”

    You get the idea. Yes, I know, it “attacks” him personally. But the whisper is out there about our Young Boy President. He is a creature of secrets. Nail it.

    Satire and ridicule accomplish something important
    against the politically impotent (and this sleight of hand ram-it-down-the voters’-throat tactic is politically impotent) : these rhetorical tools impugn the source of the ideas, policies, laws, and public statements.

    The First 100 Days of the Boy Presidency are over. It was a fast and loose trip down the rapids of a raging river of emotions.

    But now the Presidential Dinghy is in the cross currents and tides of a shark-filled ocean it isn’t familiar with. After all, The Boy President was not even a US Senator for a full 365 days on the job. What does he know?

    And now, his Chrysler deal is being “slowed down” and being read line by line. It may not hold up. At least it will raise more questions than there appear to be answers for. Our Young Boy Prodigy President is nervously standing in the living room filled with adults who have a copy of his “term paper” now, that he did in a hurry so he could go out and play. Auntie Ruth is wagging it at him. “Much to do yet. Much to do indeed, my dear Boy.”

    Obamacare will tank if we slow it down. We are a major cross-current that the ill-fated crew of the Obama Dinghy believed they could defeat and master if they only had a big enough head of steam.

    Welcome to Washington, Little Barry Soetoro. May we see some i.d. please?

    GM needs help for sure – they need a management team with brains and balls. Their revenue is essentially that of Ford (mid 40 billions), yet they have something like 287,000 workers to Ford’s 55,000 or so. That means they need a management team that will cut 230,000 unneeded jobs in order to remain competitive. Yes, those people will be temporarily out of work. No, they may never get an $80 an hour job again, but that’s how progress is made – the new supplants the old. Times change. 1.5 billion Chinese are eating your lunch, arugula and all.
    BTW – the topic is healthcare, and Obamacare will resemble GM, 5 times as many workers as needed, with products no one wants.

Well, at least they can drive around in their hummers now. Looks like Rush got his wish, BHO’s policies are failures and he must know it to start abandoning the ownership of the financial institutions. Public approval is dying, GM takeover did not go over as well as he thought. I think he might have gotten away with it if he had not given the company to the corrupt union with the hearings where people found out how much a whiny spoiled UAW worker makes, much more than most average Americans. Not only all the money they make, but to find out the work they do is almost completely automated.

    If I remember correctly, Fidel Castro – another supposed champion of a “great” health care system – didn’t use said system when he was sick a few years ago. I wonder how many average Cubans get doctors from all over the world flown in to treat them, hm?

    Medical tourism? LGM, you’re not even trying with that post.

    How can you post such nonsense when every objective media outlet there is documents the lag time between patient diagnosis and treatment being measured in terms of days in the US, as opposed to months in Britain, Europe, Africa, Canada & South America and Eurasia?

    Read the NYTimes Op/Ed page today. Or does that fall outside your “objective media” category?

    Google “national health care comparison” and you will discover that US health care is worse on average than health care in other developed countries.

    Google “national health care comparison” and you will discover that US health care is worse on average than health care in other developed countries.

    Then why do they come here for diagnosis and treatment?

    No, I will not waste my time googling what I know is not true.

    I have family and in-laws – some in the medical profession – living by choice and/or are stationed in Britain, Gemany, and Spain, and I know what they face when they even attempt to see a physician in those countries with just a simple head cold; I can’t imagine what it would be like to be outside this country with the actual emergency of a heart attack or or personal injury. Besides, we all know Google leans Left in presenting options/sites, and is as unreliable and misleading as Wiki in presenting skewed data to the ill-informed.

    And what’s with your running down the medical services this nation has to offer? The best doctors, the latest medical innovations, and the most comprehensive medicines and treatment course are here and available to all – let’s keep it that way.

    That silly fool uses “comparisons” by socialist organizations as corroboaration; but ignores foreigners who vote with their (often or usually) OWN POCKETBOOK and with their feet to come here to the U.S. for treatment.

    Google “national health care comparison” and you will discover that US health care is worse on average than health care in other developed countries.

    During that google, you might also find articles on how the World Health Org did their rankings. “It more accurately can be described as a ranking system inherently biased to reward the uniformity of “government” delivered (i.e. “socialized”) health care, independent of the care actually delivered.”

    Not surprisingly, one of the criteria is availability to all citizens. Since socialized countries “cover” all citizens, that one category shoots them right to the top. In the good ol USA, we do have coverage available but not everybody is covered. Most of their own choice, so that drops us a lot. They don’t have proper categories for “access” to health care, how long it takes, who decides, and what your options are if you don’t agree. The USA would win that criteria hands down and be at the tip top of that list.

    As a matter of fact, the last WHO ranking that LGM cites was in year 2000. That was the last year they did rankings because they couldn’t properly calculate all the criteria to get a good ranking.

    Hear that LGM, they can’t get a GOOD ranking system. You are basing your usual moronic assumption on BAD data. Dig a little deeper man, if you really want the truth, which I doubt. You have taken a position and are only trying to make your decision look good for yourself. Open up your mind and let some of the stupidity seep out. Be more liberal thinking man, not just spout moronic superlatives. Free yourself!

    Go to wolframalfa and type in “malignant neoplasms” “rate of death” and it’ll give helpful suggestions for search terms, then spit out death rates per 100000 some of which are below:
    Hungary 314
    Denmark 294
    Italy 268
    Germany 264
    United Kingdom 256
    France 238
    Sweden 237
    Switzerland 216
    Canada 208
    Belarus 204
    United States 192
    Iceland 187

    So at least for cancer the full list shows 38 countries where your chances are worse than here – and all the “Best Places” the MSM blathers about are worse.
