More Proof That Obamacare Leads to Rationing
**Written by Doug Powers
Most of us are fully aware that the Health Care Bill will inevitably lead to rationing (it already has), but because these unpopular power and money grabs have put districts into play for Republicans that were once thought safe, it’s also leading to a rationing of campaign funds for the Democrats:
Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Chris Van Hollen sent a cold-blooded message Friday to underperforming party candidates: Get your act together, or you’re on your own.
Facing a perilous political environment that has left the House Democratic majority in jeopardy, Van Hollen told reporters in a briefing at the National Press Club that the party faced a series of looming difficult decisions about which candidates to invest in this fall — and who to leave behind.
“At the end of the day, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee will look at races we can win,” Van Hollen said.
If not enough Dems heed that warning, the follow-up message will be, “Hey, get your s*#t together or we’re sending Obama to campaign for you when and if he gets back from vacation!” Now that ought to do it.
Speaking of presidential vacations, here’s your photo of the day.

Well, they just took Alvin “Shoulder-ma-pads” Greene off of life-support.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep……
Oops, sorry, he’s a S E N A T O R I A L candidate, not Rep.
Love that photo of the day. Real manly looking stud of a president, I tell ya.
This is too humorous for words.
They voted for all of this crap after being threatened by their leadership.
The votes are like concrete overshoes. So, the DC response is to throw them out of the boat into the water wearing their concrete overshoes and tell them,
“You have to swim for it.”
Welcome to Chicago.
Photo of the day: Urkel on his bike. Gag.
You sure that’s not his kid sister’s bike?
Photo of the day… the bike helmet is too small for his head! And it has nothing to do with his giant ego. As an avid mountain biker, who is probably alive today because I was wearing a helmet when I had a very traumatic crash, it drives me crazy when I see people wearing ill fitting helmets. Everyone, please do yourself and your children a favor, always have the proper size helmet on and wear it correctly when biking.
I was thinkin’ he snatched it and the helmet from one of his daughters when he saw the photograhper…
“Hey, over here! Take one of me!”
Hopefully the Country’s 2 year flirtation with liberal destruction, will cure us all from ever wanting libs in power again.
Why is this doofus on a girl’s bike? He looks rather “unpresidential”, don’t you think? Well, why not. He is the WORST. PRESIDENT. EVER. And Doug…I love your blogs. They are hilarious.
Don’t kid yourself. It won’t be over for at least 2 more years. Obama has already shown every intention of ignoring Congress when it suits him, and there’s no way that enough Republicans will be elected to override a veto. He’ll spend the next two years ruling by decree and there’s no chance that he’ll be impeached for it.
Yeah, that’ll help a lot when that 18-wheeler hits you. I just don’t know how any of my generation ever survived to adulthood. We rode everywhere on our bikes and never even heard of “bike helmets”.
And just think, he has TWO MORE YEARS to go! He can so lock in that distinction that no future president could ever surpass…that is, if we make it to January 2013.
Not a girl’s bike!!!
It’s a unisex, or metrosexual, bike.
what no harley?? oh that’s right that’s an American bike…
Maybe they’ll adopt the GOP strategy of supporting the other party’s candidate?
Or maybe they’ll start throwing money at Tea Party candidates?
Hey, it’s not about principles anymore but winning for the sake of winning.
Yeah, the only “helmets” I ever remember seeing in my youth were those goofy looking leather racing headwear that “serious” cyclists wore while zipping around on their 10-speeds.:)
And we were hopelessly out of fashion – no spandex suits.
Meanwhile, Putin is shooting whales with a crossbow.
Oh, the shame.
I think I have seen Sarah standing beside a ‘bike’ before. Now, that was a bike! This Nov. 2 is going to be oh so good. Those d’s will not know what hit them!
L
What we called them back when.
Yep, I’m of the age where I grew up before anyone wore helmets, so I’m guilty of not wearing them in the past. Kinda at the same time when infants were free to roam around in the car rather than be in a car seat. And you’re right, against an 18-wheeler, a bike helmet may simply only serve the purpose of containing some of the mess that will come spilling out. But in a crash which involves landing head first on granite after flying like superman through the air… helmets work.
Yeah, right behind the mosquito fogger!
Geez, somebody with a modicum of mechanical skill and ANY regard for the PBHO should have set up those bikes…!!!
Here in Hawaii, you can see biker clubs riding Harleys, wearing leather jackets, do-rags, sunglasses, earrings, and flip-flops (“rubbah slippahs”)
This picture of Obama on the bike rivals the one of Dukakis in the armored tank.
So SanFran Nan will get some support.
Plus, whoever represents the People’s Republic of Boulder, CO.
A couple more?
Time to start preparing for impeachment. His back-door amnesty program alone, should be grounds for impeachment.
The whole Dimocrat Party ought to be in jeopardy!!! Too bad half the country is still filled with sheeple!
Now here’s someone who looks like a man on a man’s bike! No wimpy little girl’s bike for him! And he knows the proper way to wear a helmet.
Because of waiting lists and rationing of health care in Canada, I wear a bicycle helmet 24/7 to avoid injury. If you run into health problems in Canada, you’re screwed.
The dems dug this grave for themselves…..no sympathy here. So maybe when the health insurance system collapses, the health insurance can then be separated for the employer as a benefit package. It never should have been coupled with a job in the first place, then pre-existing conditions would not have become such a huge issue. So dems thanks for the cram down of TARP, crap & tax, gov motors, recession and the total power grab. It sucks to be you. You earned it. You deserve it and it is about time!
You can’t expect the Democraps to spend all their lemmings’ campaign contributions on campaigns.Why they are going to need that money for bribes and vacations at Martha’s Vinyard.Not to mention all the votes they are going to buy.
He couldn’t handle even sitting on a Harley….a scooter or moped may even be beyond his level of manliness.
Yes we can.
Silly, that’s what the Stimulaganza taxpayer money giveaway is for.
No but, here’s someone who looks good on a Harley:
http://onemansblog.com/2008/08/30/hot-photos-of-sarah-palin-the-republican-vice-presidential-candidate/sarah-palin-on-a-harley/
……and probably can smoke Dear Leader on anything on two wheels.
Remember this?
*there are lots more if you care to Google images of
LurchJohn Francois Kerry, but I can only stomach so much.Wow, Dexter. We are old. I remember that too.
Chris Muir thought so too.
At least Kerry was on a boy’s bike. Obama is not.
Kerry as a large sperm was the classic however…..
That was my thought. How can America be taken serious on the world stage with a panty waist like this for President? Not exactly John Wayne now is he?
The thing that kills me the most about the death panels, is that if the gov’t wasn’t taking over health care, we wouldn’t have to worry about them in the first place.
Exact polar opposites.
Oh man – I thought I was the only one…. I haven’t seen a fogger in decades…
Spacey, ‘old’ is a state of mind.
Remember: growing ‘up’ is optional.
Ha – I got back from Sturgis a couple of weeks ago. There was a billboard of Obama on the way to Deadwood and I was watching a bunch of fellow bikers “pointing” to the billboard – then I realized that they were flipping him off! Of course I joined in as I cruised past.
isn’t that a girls bike the princess is on? Or is that a new model bike to be all inclusive of mftglb’s or what ever other group the left can dream up to divide people and classify them?
these new lefties are down right freaky.
spandex suits should be out of fashion for many – not pleasant on the eyes
and we got along fine without ‘em!
Now that there is one freaky picture, WS. These idiots are truly blind to think they should go out in public looking like that!! Yuck!!
Errah, this aszhat is my represntative. Without political jerrymandering this tool would not have his seat. One can only hope the Dims lose and big in November so this guy can return to the rock he crawled out from under. Maryland at this point is a lost cause . . . . I do like that handsome guy we have representing us though; Senator Mikulski!
Ain’t nothin’ like a spandex wedgie. Yuck!
Wrong on both counts. You’re eye sight hasn’t improved much in death.
that’s your. My grammar hasn’t improved much in life : )
Right – you make a better looking corpse when you die from the broken neck.
The celebration continues in Plains, Georgia.
Yeah. That was back when my brother and I played with our Gilbert Chemistry Set and I complained to our date that he was trying to put Potassium nitrate in my eyes. We were told to settle down and go outside to ride our mini-bikes or shoot our BB guns.
This tool throws like a girl, so may as well ride a girl’s bike. Bush threw a strike and Odumbo threw a bouncer. Game, Set, Match!!!!!
thought Mr. Obama was supposed to be all buff… comparing this shot to the pre-election beach shot it seems the honeymoon may finally be over between Barry and (at least some of) the main spin photogs.
I thought that would happen after Clinton’s term, but unfortunately, we have public school indoctrination centers where little Johnny and little Suzy are brainwashed.
Eventually little Johnny and little Suzy grow up to vote, and we have another round of liberalism at the helm.
Oooooh but he is so GREEN when riding a bike.
Not like that evil George Bush in his flight suit.
/sarc
Not sure he topped John eFing Kerry in his giant body condom though.
I’m surprised he’s not riding a girl’s bike.
I’ve saying it for months now.
Obama will throw anyone under the bus to get reelected.
This is what happens (MSM) when you don’t vet your candidates.
What’s with the book rack on the back of Barry’s bike? Someone should photoshop in some books and a paper lunch bag. That would complete the look.
I have linked both photos from behiker here and here so you can see them side by side.
Obama really does look like a little nerdy putz.
The pic of Obama on a bicycle makes Dukakis in the armored tank look like Patton.
Don’t you all long for a return to the days of dignity in the oval office we enjoyed under Reagan. No sax blowing on late night comedy shows, no interns blowing other things in the oval office, no bike tours while rome is burning, no tank commander photo-op, or swimming with the sharks photo-op, or even landing on the aircraft carrier photo-op. Just a president doing his job without all the hype men and women spinning the crap out of what a president should be. Leave that to Vlad Putin, his propoganda machine is waaaay better than ours, and he still looks like a moron with all his macho shirtless nonsense.
