Health Care Quote of the Day & Bill Signing Roundup
Joe Biden introduced President Obama today at a get-together that was hopefully more of a mass political funeral visitation than a health care bill signing ceremony, but in any case, Biden proved he’s still in “stand-up comic” mode when he reminded Americans that further debt and loss of freedom will make everybody richer:
In his opening remarks, Vice President Joe Biden noted that the Roman poet Virgil wrote that “health is wealth” — and that the signed law would make “Americans a lot more wealthy.”
The government is going to hire thousands and thousands of extra IRS agents to enforce this blessed health care bill. I feel richer already! And since health is wealth I’m assuming that Americans can now pay their taxes in avacados and wheat germ.
After the bill signing, the US Constitution was quickly escorted from the White House via the garbage exit (Dems claimed it made a racial slur).
Just as a reminder for Biden, the poet Virgil also wrote, “His sickness increases from the remedies applied to cure it,” and “Curst greed of gold, what crimes thy tyrant power has caused.”
As Biden introduced Obama at the bill signing, an open mic caught Joe telling the president, “This is a big f-ing deal.” For a second there I thought Chuck stood up.
If you didn’t see Bart Stupak in the audience, it’s because he was out on Constitution Avenue buying the Brooklyn Bridge from a homeless guy demanding change. What you also didn’t see at the health care bill signing ceremony was the health care bill. Scott Brown refused to loan Rahm Emanuel his pickup truck so they had no way to get it there.
Now Obama is off to Iowa on Thursday to sell something he’s already forced on America, like Captain Hazelwood going to Prince William Sound post-Valdez to convince the otters that they’re gonna love being covered in goop.
Good luck with the sales pitch, Dems. See you in November.

GADS, I thought to goodness this bho would not be on the tube anymore on this. This bho needs his face on daily. Thank goodness for the mute, his voice with the lies makes me ill.

One of the most CLASSLESS people ever to warm a senate seat. This man really is a freakin’ idiot on so many levels only to be outdone by Obeyme.
I love how Biden asserts that we’ll be a more “wealthy” nation because of this healthcare nightmare. How can you claim that a country that lives off of debt and continues to fund programs by the printing press is a wealthy nation? You’ve gotta be kidding me.
This is an example of how tone death the Dems have become. They and the 1/3 of the country that now supports them live in an insular universe where if you want it, whine loud enough until you get it.
I just feel like I’m living a nightmare right now. I don’t know whether I am coming or going. I’m really sad and near tears every day now and my husband is trying to get me to tune it out.
This is just hard. Every day I see these people and their supporters my heart is aching and I can’t believe we’re at this point. The entitlement crowd has taken over and I don’t know if we’ll ever really be the same again (even if this bill is eventually “deemed” unconstitutional).
This is a nightmare.
Joe the potty mouth and barry the liar…my mute button is worn out just in the last year…had to dig out and reprogram a new one!! The man-child thug-in-chief socialist/marxist makes me physically ill…
Bart Stupak? I spit on him. What a coward. Selling America down the drain for some airports? What is it with demonrats and airports? Didn’t murtha have two airports?
I wouldn’t wish this Health Care bill on France.
Oh get off it Doug – you know Joe’s the smartest guy in the room!
Obama and his minions are all excited, but from what I understand of this bill (and yeah, not much so far) it’s so crassly unconstitutional even lib judges will blanche. Maybe. Not Sotomayor of course.
Paris is beautiful in the Spring, the French have a Conservative leader, food delicious, freedom and prosperity (compared to Obamaland), we’ll have to stop picking on them.
LOL, Doug–being from mid-Missouri, I never tire of that joke.
Last night, on our jog, Chuck & I were laughing about it…
So you have a problem with wise Latina’s as well. Racist.
Bart
StupakStupid from now on…http://townhall.com/cartoons/cartoonist/GlennFoden/2010/03/1
Look in your Funk and Wagnalls for the definition of “useful idiot”. Joe Biden’s photo is there.
Had breakfast this a.m. with some WW 2 vets and we were talking about Stupidpak holding that worthless piece of paper from Barry. One of the guys said it was eerily similar to Chamberlain coming back from Munich and waving his piece of paper signed by Hitler, and saying it meant “peace in our time.” Can you count how many babies will die from your sellout Bart?
He’s going to Iowa City where 78% of all of the Kool Aid drinkers live.
My BS detector is going to be going off all day Thursday. I doubt I will get anything done.
I’d love to have him meet my 90+ year old mother and mention healthcare. He’d never come to Iowa again after she got done with him.
Me: “Oh Death, where is thy sting?”
Death: “If you look on page 1345 paragraph 3 section C of Obowmaocare…”
Biden and his fellow Utopians are engaging in wishful thinking and have even incorporated them into the supposed savings of this disaster. I don’t know what the numbers are but from what I see I’d guess around 30% of the medical problems in this country are from unhealthy lifestyles. No exercise, bad diet, too much alcohol, smoking, drugs, promiscuity, etc… I don’t really care what people do in this respect, and have/do engage in more than one of these at times. But I am 100% sure more govt. money is not going to change anybodies lifestyle.
On the other hand, when everybody is poorer in a few years as a result of this bill, people will probably scale back eating in restaurants, and eating in general. Plus we will be getting a lot more exercise because operating a car will just not be financially possible for many. So this bill may actually make us healthier in this round-about way.
swede: I had the same thought. We need someone to do a Photoshop “fade” from Chamberlain to Stupidpak.
I heard that Biden said that they had made a “fundamental change in America”. I have to agree with that statement. They plan on making even more “fundamental” (basic) changes too. Kenneth Feinberg announced that pay will be cut for upper 25 earners in the new goverment motors and 3 others. They control those too. We have too many naive and apathetic Americans who may wake up too late to see the danger.
I guess we’re wealthy enough now to live off our “savings” until 2014.
Newt: My mommy always said there were no monsters – no real ones – but there are.
Ripley: Yes, there are, aren’t there?
Newt: Why do they tell little kids that?
Ripley: Most of the time it’s true.
Yeah, I know. It’s a bad habit, like carrying a comb when you’re bald.
We need to impeach this dum dum too.
Burke: Look, this is an emotional moment for all of us, okay? I know that. But, let’s not make snap judgments, please. This is clearly-clearly an important species we’re dealing with and I don’t think that you or I, or anybody, has the right to arbitrarily exterminate them.
Ripley: Wrong!
Vasquez: Yeah. Watch us.
And we have a VERY sick society!
Paging Dr. Biden, paging Dr. Pelosi, paging Dr. Obama.

Can anyone photoshop this with their faces?
Do we get to nuke the whole thing from orbit?
OHHHHHH PLEASE say we can…..
Ripley: I say we take off, and nuke the site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.
Every time I think Obama should be impeached I remember Biden is the VP, then I am not so sure.
Nope, they deserve it. When someone referred to the dead at Normandy who gave their lives for their freedom – in reference to France not backing us in Iraq – Some French official said take them back, they are fouling our soil. The end of any sympathy I ever had for the Oui, Oui’s.
Was it Cheney who said, “Going to war without France is like going deer hunting without your accordian”?
If we throw out Obama then Biden is president. If we toss him too then it’s Pelosi. Impeach all three and we get Robert Byrd. After him comes Hillary. We’re screwed.
Hey Everybody!!! Don’t Worry…Be Happy
Tim Hawkins – The Government Can
So when can I expect my free government ran healthcare?
I have a French army knife.
It has a corkscrew and a white flag.
I wrote a little ditty for Foot-in-mouth Joe. It’s called Ode to V.P. Joe and it’s sung to the tune of Ode to Billie Joe.
You can check it out at The People Cube.
Joe Biden is such a dope.
Can’t think of a better solution.
An Obama-care physician could have saved Kane (John Hurt). Just a little hole in the chest………
All you need for the French military – A bottle of French Vino and your instrument of surrender.
Which reminds me – what ever happened to Chapoutier? Sort of miss the old curmudgeon.
Why do you think it’s called assassination insurance? In this case, impeachment insurance.
Though it would be funny to watch Nanski’s face when the botox fails.
Or to listen to the NAACP go completely silent when Sheets Byrd uses the “N” word in his State of the Union address.
stay frosty, Rogue.
Todays signing ceremony was the sequel to the Paul Wellstone funeral party.
swede: Although possibly apocryphal, this story has a measure of truth…
An elderly American tourist shuffled up to the counter at Orly to gain access to France on his vacation. The impatient French clerk behind the counter pulled himself up to stand over the American and demanded his passport. The American fumbled for his passport stating, “The last time I entered France I didn’t have to show a passport.”
The Frenchman pulled himself even taller and, looking down his nose sniffed, “That is not possible, you always have to show a passport when entering my country. Where and when did this happen?”
The American replied, “Normandy, June 6th, 1944.”
Ripley: These people are here to protect you. They’re senators.
Newt: It won’t make any difference.
The French actually think the French Resistance led the conter offensive, and the Americans tried to take the credit. A more egotistical, ungrateful people you will never find.
Sarkosky is a self absorbed tool. That’s why they like him.
swede: The French Resistance played a small but vital role in the overall invasion. They cut lines of communication (railroads, bridges and telegraph wires) that helped isolate the beaches, and channelize the Germans, they made a lot of Germans meet an untimely death prior to the invasion, and they conducted harassment operations throughout the region. They also paid a very steep price when they were caught.
However, to believe they were the lead for or critical to the operation is beyond the pale. Yes, they contributed, but without their help the invasion would have progressed, perhaps a little slower with some greater number (probably in the thousands) of casualties among the Allied forces, but it would have progressed.
I hear Canadians are pissed- now they have NOWHERE to go for health care. Still love Obama, eh? You can have him when we are through with him.
Ask him what happened in Africa when the invasion force arrived. They fired on the liberation forces, killing many and sinking a ship in the port so it was much more difficult to land. Yeah, with friends like that, who needs enemies. For the record, I don’t blame the individual French soldiers but the um, “leadership” for that stab in the back. Soldiers follow orders.
Classy. Biden should have fist-bumped the Prez,too.
So glad I am a Republican.
The Dems own this mess and the jacka$$es that come with it.
these clowns have got to me, I cannot stand looking at or listening to either of these two Marxist, lieing bastards any longer. And that is a sad thing to have to say about your country’s president and v.p.
I wonder how Schumer feels about Biden moving to the v.p. spot, making him the dumbest senator on record now.
“And I’m DEATH PONY!”
“Oh, poor thing can’t hear!”
“No, mom, I think he said—”
*ZZAP*
My Little Pony, Apocalypse Pony, punish mankind for their sins!
Couldn’t resist…
nail49 – In Stephen Ambrose’s “D-Day”, a bigger factor for the success of the invasion than the Resistance was a German Spy captured early in the war, and used by British Intelligence to feed info to Hitler. On June 4, they actually sent a message to Berlin informing them of the Normandy invasion, but saying it was a diversion prior to the real invasion at Calais. Hitler bought it and even awarded the German agent an Iron Cross. Three armored divisions remained at Calais waiting for the feigned attack. Had they moved to Normandy before the 6th, the invasion would have turned out very differently.
Certainly the efforts of the underground played a huge role, but without the Brits and US, they would never have gained their freedom. My uncle went ashore in the first wave at Omaha Beach, and my dad was a medical tech Sargent on the Ernestine Coranda, a passenger liner converted to a hospital ship for the invasion. Dad never took out a German but saved the lives of dozens of American wounded.
Maybe so, but one of my best friends in college was in the Paris Metro looking lost, and an old Frenchman stopped and said, “American?” “Yes” she said. “Let me help you” he said, “I’ll never forget what you did for us.”
True story, though maybe those old guys are mostly gone now.
If Cheney had said what Joe Blow did there wouldn’t be one word about it in the MSM./
Yes, if given a warning either Mr. Obama or Mr. Biden are nearing, I immediately turn off tv or radio. However, I hope both of them would give public speeches each and every hour of every day from now to 2012 election time. Then even the MSM couldn’t edit out all of their idiocy.
Bill Clinton was probably right when he said that guy would have been serving our drinks six months ago when referring to Barry Soetoro.
The only thing I disagree with is he probably would have been shining our shoes IMHO no need to promote him.
So Obama brought the ball & chain Biden the dip$h!t…
Cheney went hunting with the wrong lawyer.
As Biden introduced Obama at the bill signing, an open mic caught Joe telling the president, “This is a big f-ing
dealsteaming pile of horse excriment.”FIFY
I’m pretty sure that’s the reason Obambi’s team picked Biden. ODumbo would have picked some radical like Van Jones. But his people figured that with Biden next in line, that’s the best insurance policy on Obama that money could buy.
Which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes by Mark Levin.
“Joe Biden ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest man in politics.”
I thought it was highly improper to utter the “F Bomb” since Cheney used it on the Senate floor on Sen. Leahy.
Actually, no. No one has ever seen a “French army knife”!
Therein lies the problem.
Considering the sheer number of people in this country about to get screwed royally by Obamacare, Biden’s comment was technically accurate, whilst simultaneously lacking the class befitting a chief executive.
