The Obamacare Show: Bombed

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 25, 2009 02:46 PM

In a rare show of good taste, America TV viewers turned off the ABC News/White House infomercial on Obamacare.

They should have listened to me and included John Stossel in their programming!

Via The Live Feed:

President Obama’s town hall meeting on health care delivered a sickly rating Wednesday evening.

The one-hour ABC News special “Primetime: Questions for the President: Prescription for America” (4.7 million viewers, 1.1 preliminary adults 18-49 rating) had the fewest viewers in the 10 p.m. hour. The special tied some 8 p.m. comedy repeats as the lowest-rated program on a major broadcast network.

    You know what, I’ve had nothing but good from Dell also. Bought a laptop for my wife with Vista, after 2 days she would not touch it. Called Dell, slammed Vista, they swapped it out for a new one with XP. She loves it.

    ABC generated its best 10pm viewership in the last six weeks last night, which doesn’t refute your entry but certainly puts in in a different light.

    I used to enjoy reading this blog to get different perspectives until I realized much of what is said here is poorly researched, taken out of context and obviously written to incite anger. (Which keeps MM fans ‘addicted’ to coming back and feeding their hate.)

    And you guys claimed BDS/PDS?!?

    Pot, meet kettle.

    I just heard on Fox that the white house is setting up for a big Hawaii-theme parrrrr-Tay! Gonna have roast pork, poi, hawaiian entertainers??? I wonder what those are? I wonder what all this costs? I wonder if Obama or any other nut on the hill cares? Ha! Rhetorical question. Like Glenn Beck said, “maybe if they only pretended to care how they spend our money”.

    If history is any indicator of media behavior, the people who decided to air the health care propaganda hour will be promoted and will make extremely large amounts of money giving speeches at college campuses about the stupidity of American television viewers (Except the few who watched the show).

    Tied with comedy repeats. How… Ironic.

    Except the joke is on us….

    On Rush EIB Network:

    Page 114-15 of the Kennedy National Health Care Plan::Members of Congress are exempt

    As it always is: Special Privilege for Special People.

    Rule .223

    By this logic couldn’t someone fight the Constitutionality of the bill because it Violates equal treatment under the law? If we have to put up with the crappy Obama Government Health Care couldn’t WE sue and MAKE Congress have do to same. At the least this could be grounds to have courts repel the law.

    Ish

    Nah, but I wish I did. It came from a Marine friend of mine. We were both aviators back in the day and we trade jokes all the time. I enjoyed this one so much I wanted to share.

    You might be thinking this is not going to happen, but if doctors have a choice between leaving practice or just a minor relocation with a little travel time, then the idea isn’t a laugher after all.

    Not a silly idea at all.

    Medical vacations will be a growth industry in the resort areas of Mexico, Costa Rica, etc.

    Patients and providers will go off-shore, just as a lot of American wealth is doing.

    You won’t have to go offshore. Wherever there is government run medicine, there are “Private Doctors”. It will happen here too. Private Doctors are the ones that went to real medical school and actually know what they are doing. Blue Lips will have a Private Doctor. George Soros will have a Private Doctor. Barney Frank and Crazy Nancy will too.

    But a dangerous useful idiot. Michael Jackson is dead–so we really need it on Fox 24/7?

    If we could bury Obamacare and the Reverend Al with the man THAT would be news.
