The fear-mongerer-in-chief

Uhhhhhh, demonizing doctors doesn’t exactly seem the best way to shore up support for the ailing, failing government health care takeover.
But the fear-mongerer-in-chief can’t seem to help himself.
Allah’s got the vid of Obama blabbering about greedy doctors removing your children’s tonsils instead of giving them allergy medicine.
Someone needs a nap.

Dear Leader should have canceled this presser…
The talking point about “unnecessary” tests and greedy doctors removing tonsils to make money is insulting. I picture some ObamaCare bureaucrat on the phone to a doctor saying, “I am sick of hearing about ‘malignant’ this and ‘urgent care’ that. Just give the kid some Tylenol and stop calling me.”
One of my favorite quotes was when he started one answer with “..I’m an American,…”.
I wonder why he felt the need to say that??
I am a designer, and one of my clients is an osteopathic physician whom is seriously considering folding up his practice and looking for another career… after 20 years in the practice!
How incredibly sad.
I just love to gaze upon the television and worship our Dear Leader while I munch on a manly portion of arugula.
If he could, Obama would step on God’s neck if it would help him.
He’s a rotten man with a rotten heart, and a rotten bunch behind him.
Remember the Greek columns in Denver? That was a preview of the great ego-in-chief.
Hopefully, (Gawd, I hate the word “hope”) the more the demander in chief talks, the more he kills support for this stupidity.
A whole lot of scapegoating going on tonight, capped off by the entire weight of the Presidency brought down on a lowly police sergeant.
After saying “I don’t know – not having been there and not seeing all the facts…” he still managed to render judgment.
Liberal-style empathy on display.
Like I’ve said a hundred times – give a liberal enough rope…
He hangs curtains, too. That’s what he did on Michelle’s Day of Service.
The only way I could stomach listening to the press conference….was by listening to the Mark Levin radio show. Mark offered up brilliant commentary all along the way. Thank you, Mr. Levin….
He really hurt himself tonight.
People are beginning to have the scales fall from their eyes.
Even the sucker-fish press corp is beginning to find his lies stale. He can lie to them, by they at least want his lies to be artful. Tonight, he was just flat.
He gave every appearance of someone in a leadership position facing a critical situation having never had to lead anything or be responsible for anything before.
This may not be the night he “jumped the shark”, but he gave every appearance that he is skiing at flank speed in that direction.
He insults doctors, but still assumes they’ll remain in the profession to take orders from his bureaucracy under his plan? His plan will fail in so many ways, not the least of which is if just five percent of doctors quit instead of submitting to what he wants. His dolt followers need to understand that Obama doesn’t provide medical care; that still has to be done by doctors. There’s already a shortage of them, and it will get worse under Obamacare.
I take it you watched the lie-fest. Did you have a puke pan handy?
Here in St. Louis, I’m waiting for him to come on.
Boy, did you hit the brutal reality.
No. I had Hugh Hewitt on, so I didn’t have to see, as well as hear. That would be more than flesh should bear…
I wish I’d thought to turn over to Levin, but Hewitt was good, too.
Great thanks to all here who had the intestinal courage to watch the debacle and report to the squeamish ones.
I didn’t think I’d be able to laugh at Obama, but I did.
Obama sure seems to want to medicate the hell out of all of us, doesn’t he?
Have you noticed?
Conservatives only become greedy when liberals aren’t given enough.
Given enough public money, given enough ADD attention or given enough control, of others.
In other words:
So far as liberals are concerned, Capitalists only become greedy, mean people when they want to keep what they earn.
Well, duh! Every capitalist should make it a daily mission to spit in the eye of a liberal.
Wow. This is Susan Freaking Estrich…
Just wow. Read it.
Doesn’t everyone?
No.
I use urine.
His eyes were a little red. Looks to me that he was either angry inside the whole time or he was hitting the bong right before he came to the podium.
Oh yeah, and his teeth looked a little blue. Did anybody else catch that?
Maybe it was just my tv settings.
*To you its obvious but to our Pres. and his cohorts, not so much.
I read it. Yeah, it is a WOW,not just because it’s from Susan Estrich but because it is a very soulful, heart-felt feeling about our existence that cuts through politics.
Good shot, jangar.
Good. I hope he doesn’t sleep a wink till he gets hiself straightened out.
Lots & lots of porch experience (which is a lot more than I can say for our idiot-in-chief).
near the beginning of the vid;
I liked the part where TOTUS said ‘if we take the profit out of this, they will be MORE motivated’ or something like that.
makes cents to me….. idiot.
That bit about about the tonsils needs to be repeated endlessly on the airwaves and the internet until every doctor in America has seen it. Demonizing doctors along with insurance companies and pharmaceuticals is not a good strategy.Obama is his own worst enemy and shoots himself in the foot every time he opens his mouth without TOTUS and this is a perfect example.
I can’t believe the MSM will cover for this guy much longer. Even they must be starting to see that he is a complete fraud and has a very limited understanding of the country is so intent on changing. At some point they are going realize that the fool in that clip will destroy our health care system and it will not leave them untouched (unless they manage to get elected to congress.)
President Obama thinks he is more important than a doctor, and thinks he has a better way of healing people.
That’s.one.arrogant.bastard.
However, I’d let him change my bedpan.
Is it just me? Or in the beginning did he say that he inherited the 1.3 trillion dollar deficit?
He should shoot himself in the mouth and save his foot.
Taking the profit motive out always incentivizes me to work harder.
Now get to work, you lazy, greedy, good for nothing doctors. And no more breaks!
…and brush up on your abortion techniques…
That is one procedure that will never be restricted under Obamacare. The less people, the better.
Rags, this part of Susan Estrich’s article was most meaningful.
I am one who is self-insured by BC/BS,
a perfectly healthy non-smoking 51 year old who is paying about $390/month with a $2,500 annual deductible. In ye olden days, some routine tests would be no big deal in terms of costs. Now it is.
“Am I just as appalled as the next person when I get the bill (that for me, luckily, is mostly paid by insurance) and see what various tests and scans cost, or, rather, what hospitals are forced to charge patients with insurance in order to cover the ones without it? Sure.
But I’m not willing to give up my doctor or the time I spend with him. I’m not willing to give up the relationship we have. My children, now grown, feel as comfortable calling him as I do because he has taken the time with them over the years to build that trust.
And no matter how high the final price tag on those tests have been, never once have I said, “If I’d known how much they would cost, I wouldn’t have had them done.” No, I’m grateful for my insurance, grateful for the technology, grateful for good care.”
What an incredibly sorry slug. These country is going down the sewer at warp speed.
Doooood….!
Harsh.
That was the most unbelievable thing I have ever watched, I was thinking that his followers may bite– but the press was probably embarrassed for him and themselves for being so enthralled with this guy previously.
Bush would have been slaughtered by them over such a performance!
Except for reminding himself he was the president and he should be confident, he wasn’t either presidential or confident.
For such a smart guy– with a teleprompter, he sure seems dumb without one!
This performance could also be featured as an episode on that show “lie to me”! (show name?)
I know the media will spin this as favorable, but I think he hurt his case big time tonight, which is great news!
You could see the disgust in his face at having to. . .(ugh). . .justify himself to the assembled morons, having to. . .(yeck). . .answer the questions of the doubting idiots. At his next press conference he will probably announce that he is going to lock himself in the oval office, scream continuosly and throw furniture through the windows until he gets his health care plan.
“I’m grateful for my insurance, grateful for the technology, grateful for good care.”
And so should we all be. And now we are looking at the lose of every bit of that, in the name of gaining control of our lives.
Thanks, Rags,
I really do believe that was the pearl of wisdom.
In my background, heard and saw some of the event tonight.
Obama is clearly in meltdown mode.
These moron liberals have taken a once great Republic and are about to flush it down the drain. The country is broke; its people are hopelessly divided and dissatisfied with a bungling, inept government; and, it’s about to implement healthcare policies that the vast majority do not want and will punish all and kill the elderly. The people are the victims a direct assault on their lives and liberties by their own government and it will be impossible for this nation to survive for any extended period of time. Sad but true.
Truth.
I waa looking on Ann’s sit earlier for commentary on this issue.
When did she write this?
Yep.
Even if I weren’t a doc, I would still say that Coulter’s article was excellent.
If that news conference didn’t scare the bejeezus out of you, you don’t have the intellect of a fire ant.
It clarified one thing for me: if this bozo gets his way, the result really stands a good chance of crippling my son. I’ll fight it with my last breath.
Okay, found Ann’s article NOW but no kidding, I was looking for her comments on her site earlier today.
Nothing there on this issue.
I was losing faith in her.
Joe Biden had his anatomy mixed up…instead of girding our loins we should gird our children’s tonsils.
ObamaCare definitions are in order:
Unnecessary Tests, Medicines, or Procedures:
1)T,M,or P’s that you haven’t waited for 6-24 months for.
2)T,M,or P’s desired by 60+ year old patients.
Necessary T,M,or P’s : T,M,or P’s that a Party member’s Doctor recommends.
God help us, God help us, God help us.
I am staying up all night.
Candlelight vigil.
Please, folks, light a candle.
If this reform passes, we will all have access to free medical care………
and a chance to win a malpractice jackpot (with the help of Ambulance chasers).
What a Country!
/sarc off
My body lays over the ocean’
my body lays over the sea,
your body is now a mere number
They’ve taken the choices from thee!
Add your own verse!
Government healthcare will encourage competition?!? Did someone replace Obama’s cigarette with a joint? Whatever he’s smoking, I’m want it too.
Bring back

Oh bring back that kenyan to thee

Our Barrie flies o’er the ocean

Bowin’ down to the king of Arabia

Old Barrie is gettin mighty angry

All gone?
Drats that’s the end!
Bah rack gives us all a new health plan
Bah rack says it’s really so cool
He scorns us who question and doubt him
Bah rack thinks we’re really tha fool.
He fires “incompetent generals”
replaces them with socialist tools
don’t question the one or his cronies
cuz’ we’re the incompetent fools
He’s the megalomaniac
no shrink can honestly deny.
before he ruins this country
let’s flush this idiot goodbye
Hussein is Barrack’s middle name now
But many are afraid to say it
I guess we fear getting a tax audit
With a tax bill and orders to pay it.
I have been dealing with “Government Run Healthcare” for the last few years. It is called “California Worker’s Comp”. It is where the doctor tells you what you need, then the Government decides whether or not it is worth the cost, whether they will do it, whether it will be approved, etc.
What has it lead to? It lead to me being permanently crippled due to the Government going AGAINST the doctors orders as well as medical protocol, causing the loss of my career, marriage, income and so much more.
This is EXACTLY what Obamacare, Socialized/Universal healthcare or whatever the hell it is being called this week is like, only on a smaller scale. The greed of the lazy is guiding this nation into the #$($-pile, and is going to cause a great many people to lose their lives, health, mobility and so much more.
The people who are actually FOR this are heartless, lazy, inconsiderate, greedy little Bas****s who think of nothing but themselves, and still have the mentality that nothing bad could ever happen to them.
By the time people finally wake-up to the hell that Obama and the rest of the Prolitariat in Washington is forcing on us, it will be too late to stop or change, and once this genie is out of the bottle, it can NEVER be put back or killed.
I pray to God that people wake up soon, that this will be at least shelved until after the 2010 elections and that the polls for the Dems continue their meteoric collapse to where it will be impossible for this to EVER pass.
People truly have no idea what hell this will unleash on the health and well-being of this nation. The government that cannot handle Medicare, Social Security or balance the damn budget and who is voting into law bills they refuse to even read, is what people want to actually make life and death decisions for themselves and their loved ones.
Un-freaking-believable.
So Obama jumped the shark tonight.
Does that mean he will be canceled soon, without summer reruns like Fonzie was after he jumped the shark?
When we are not at a tea party or praying to God to restrain this evil man, we need to call our senators and representatives to complain about Obama and his evil schemes.
This is what we get when people elect a president because they think that he is “hip” or “black” or “eloquent” etc. all of which have nothing more that a pot of piss to do with being leadership, the most important quality that was totally ignored again in the last elections. Meanwhile, like in “Star Wars: The clone wars”, the liberals are growing their own clone army of voters to insure their supremacy for the next thousand years. Hmmmmm. Sound familiar?
I read a speech by Teddy Roosevelt a year ago, and these two paragraphs struck me as amazingly relevant to Barack Obama:
Prophetic.
HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS!!!!!
Coulter’s article should be emailed to everyone you know…
Beautiful line – comparing the cost of a highly trained specialist to both a haircut and a manicure.
Oh, and trying to justify a moronic healcare plan by saying it will improve the economy must make even liberals cringe.
no dear leader needs a “time out” for the next 3 1/2 years until we can dump him by the wayside….
Now that Obama is begining to taste defeat and humility, what will he do to get back at us? Stay on your toes folks, there will be a price to pay for bruising the ego.
The Democrat Party is a criminal enterprise.
Profit motive? Profit motive?
Does this a$$hole-in-thief know anything about reimbursement to physicians?
Did he not see John Stossel’s 20/20 report years ago on why hospitals mark up everything they provide?
This guy, Hussein, is a D$CK!
Mr President, Will everyone be covered and nobody denied coverage?
Sock Puppet Responds: Well, Ah, Ah, Ah,M
Let me be clear, I once fell down a flight of stairs and my shoes fell off.
Admittedly I do fear the man and his power-I worry a lot about his angry,bitter demeanor. I worry about the angry, bitter radicals he has appointed all over government-angry, bitter people exactly of the type to institute the secret police, state controlled judiciary and re-education camps their kind seem to favor.
Barrack Obama does have a chip on his shoulder-this spoiled, coddled child of privileged is bitter his father abandoned him and takes it out on the world-he is bitter his mother left him and takes it out on the world. He is bitter his grandfather was a lazy fool and takes it out on his white grandmother and “typical white persons”. Barrack Obama was taught by his Black Nationalist/Communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis that “the Man” was keeping him down, capitalism was slavery and the Blue Eyed Devil-including his grandmother- was his natural enemy.
So Obama, this child of privilege, finds the Reverand Jeremiah Wright who for 20 years reinforces his hated of America, the Man and the Blue Eyed Devil. Now that Obama is beginning to taste defeat and humility, what will he do to get back at us? Fear factor.
Resistance is mandatory.
“But if a man’s efficiency is not guided and regulated by a moral sense, then the more efficient he is the worse he is, the more dangerous to the body politic.
Courage, intellect, all the masterful qualities, serve but to make a man more evil if they are merely used for that man’s own advancement, with brutal indifference to the rights of others.”
Has Obama ever taken his kids to the doctor?
How many times has Shelly come home and complained that the girls’ docs tried to talk her into a tonsillectomy for them?
Who writes these stupid anecdotes?
If the eyes are a mirror to the soul, all I see in BO is emptiness…with a strong hint of evil.
Stupid people, burried in the stupid administration, writing stupid material, for a stupid speaker.
I sure am glad the politics of fear are behind us.
The last question had to be a set-up.
He wanted to call out white police officers, and he did.
The next time there ie a riot the police need to know they will receive no backup from above.
This man is evil.
aaaahhh yes it does if you are speaking to the ever jealous have nots. It’s the haves vs the have nots and if you want to perpetuate class warfare – it makes perfect sense.
SHOW US YOUR MEDICAL RECORDS, BARRY!
I pointed that out one or two months ago about a diferent photo of BHO and got ridiculed for it…which I wear as a badge of honor.
July 22, 2009, the day the magic smoke ran out.
I commented once he has dead eyes.
Dear Leader:
I went to the doctor yesterday for a hurt knee. He suggested taking out my tonsils. Is this a good idea?
Yep.
Just compare his eyes to the eyes of some of the loony muslim jihadi barbarians we see from time to time.
granite – ditto that!
Dear Leader:
Doctors are prescibing chemotherapy instead of allergy medicine for cancer. Is this wrong? Please let us know and then make the doctors to quit it.
This is an AP story.
Read it. The tide may be turning in the MSM… It would have a lot of turning to do, but beginnings are where you find them.
Rags, I think the msm will support whomever they believe has the majority. Not only does the fact that the msm is now turning on Obama, it is reflective of how the majority is starting to view him as well. I truly do not believe Obama will overcome the downhill slide the polls are taking. He’s toast from here on out.
Drip, drip, drip…
and, before you know it, you’ve reached the tipping point…
On the subject of stupid, Obama called Sgt. Crowley of the Cambridge Police Department stupid for arresting Obamas pal, Skip Gates. Who also happens to be a race hustler along the lines of Al Sharpton, except this one is employed by Harvard University. Obama admitted that he doesn’t have all the facts, and proceeded to attack a police officer who did his job by the book. The day before, Sgt. Crowley was attacked publically by Cadillac Deval, the Governor of Massachusetts. I wish Michelle would pickup this story to push it nationally, but Michael Graham is all over it:
http://www.michaelgraham.com/
Well there you have it. The One has decreed that it shall be. And so it shall….
/sarc-off
Obama just accused doctors of malpractice and police of racism in the past day. What a UNITER this man Obama is. Now if we could only give him a brain……….
What should be not be lost on anyone was this fact.
If a conservative President had delivered a rambling, incoherent opening like Obama’s, the White House press corps would have hit him with questions that would have torn him apart……. justifiably.
But yet again, we see only Obama cheerleaders selected to ask softball questions, which were most likely pre-selected by Obama’s staff, so the teleprompter was ready.
I think Obama could beat a 90 year old woman to death with a pipe on national TV and the press would still cover for him.
