Bushbama's Town Hall Meeting

Just SUBSTITUTE the word Bush for Obama and the article could have been verbatim from four years ago.

"Memo the Obama administration;

please don't begin to characterize me as an "enemy" because I am a peaceful, thinking, caring person with some some acute differences of opinion with you on the direction this administration is taking this country.

The policies, both domestic, international, and financial, with their attendant taxation, are not putting this country on a path toward recovery; they are doing precisely the opposite.

The costs of these wars without end, for which this administration seems to have such an insatiable appetite, will be our undoing as a nation.

The tax money that has been spent, and the money borrowed from countries like China to pursue these wars, has caused this country to be carry a massive deficit from which it may never recover.

Yes, many of us are legitimately angry. We understand that we are experiencing the new version of "taxation without representation." Oh yes, we have that kabuki-esque spectacle of elections every so often, but this has become totally irrelevant to the direction of American policy.

Those people called congressional representatives no longer represent the will of their constituents; they have become "acquisitions" of the large corporations which fund their campaigns, overtly and covertly. So that's who gets represented and whose needs get met; not the needs of We the People.

We have stopped being a representative government, and have become, instead, a cronyocracy or more accurately a corporate-ocracy.

And that consistent, dull, thumping sound, echoing all across the country is being caused by the founding fathers, turning over in their graves at warp speed." -- Wake the Flock Up

I think you SAID IT for ALL OF US, Mike!!!

THANK YOU!!!!!


You LISTENING, W, 'er, 'bamer?

"At N.H. forum, Obama hits back at ‘wild’ criticism of health bill; Rips foes on fears of euthanasia, cost" by Lisa Wangsness and Nandini Jayakrishna, Globe Staff | Globe Correspondent | August 12, 2009

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - President Obama traveled to a town hall meeting in a high school gymnasium here yesterday to counter what he called “wild misrepresentations’’ about his proposed healthcare overhaul - his most concerted effort yet to regain momentum in a debate recently dominated by critics’ aggressive assault.

As demonstrators waved signs and shouted across police tape outside, Obama tried to dispel the emotional argument foes have voiced over the airwaves and in local meetings across the country. He also fought back on points about costs and fears of a government takeover of the healthcare system.

And he argued forcefully that a healthcare overhaul would benefit Americans with insurance as well as those without it by cracking down on insurers and offering alternatives to people who lose their coverage.

The campaign-style forum was the first of three town hall meetings the White House has scheduled in upcoming days to hammer back at critics, who have put Democrats on the defensive with demonstrations around the country.

Obama scoffed at charges spread by opponents that the legislation would result in euthanizing seniors to save money. He insisted the overhaul would not result in higher taxes for the middle class.

Yep: Healthcare Hustle

Why Obama Wants A Health Care Bill This Year

And he said the plan would not add to the federal deficit. For too long, he said, Americans have been “held hostage’’ by insurance companies....

After a while -- like with Bush -- you just don't want to hear or read the guy anymore. Less than six months in and I'm already tired of the new liar.

The president, standing before a packed gymnasium at Portsmouth High School:

For all the chatter and the yelling and the shouting and the noise, what you need to know is this: If you don’t have health insurance, you will finally have quality, affordable options when we pass reform. If you do have health insurance, we will make sure no insurance company or government bureaucracy gets between you and the care you need.’’

The Boston Globe Pulls America's Hat Down Over Its Eyes on Healthcare

So there is no reform and bureacrats already get in the way.

Oh, he's a slick-sh**ter!!!

The town hall-style meeting was the first Obama has held since the conservative grassroots caught fire late last month, and scenes of furious constituents shouting down lawmakers in their home districts became the defining image of the debate.

Couldn't ignore it, could you, MSM?

Fresh evidence of the backlash greeted the president as he arrived at the school yesterday, as hundreds of protestors, just returned from a morning rally organized by the free-market group Americans For Prosperity, lined the driveway shouting through megaphones. Among their signs: “We can’t afford Obamacare!’’ and “One Nation Under God, Not Under Socialized Health Care.’’

Across the street, hundreds of overhaul proponents waved their own placards - “Health Care is a Right’’ and “Thank You Pres. Obama 4 Keeping Health Care Promise’’ - and shouted over music provided by a group of Ghanian percussionists and Portsmouth’s own Leftist Marching Band.

Yeah, when it is an AGENDA-PAPPROVED PROTEST the paper always describes how much FUN it is!!! Think GAYS, GLOBAL WARMERS, ILLEGALS and COLORED REVOLUTIONS, readers.

In contrast to local district town halls, where Democratic House and Senate members on summer recess have been interrupted and shouted down, Obama’s audience at the Portsmouth High School gymnasium was tame. The bleachers teemed with Obama supporters.

A RIGGED CROWD, 'eh? Oh, 'bamer, we thought that went out with Bush.

The White House said tickets to the event were awarded mostly by lottery to people who signed up online, with the balance going to elected officials. But the president wound up preaching to the choir, which applauded wildly at his calls for action on healthcare - at one point breaking into an chant of “Yes we can!’’

This is ANTI-CHRIST-LIKE SCARY!!!!!

See: The Obama Deception

The first question was gently delivered by New Hampshire state Representative Peter Schmidt, a Democrat from Dover: “My question is, if Republicans actively refuse to participate in a reasonable way with reasonable proposals, isn’t it time to just say, ‘We’re going to pass what the American people need, and what they want, without them’ ?’’ In response, Obama said he hoped a bipartisan deal would be possible, but he agreed: Passing something is paramount.

Another questioner, apparently referring to statements Obama made in 2003 supporting a Medicare-for-all-style system, asked Obama whether he still favored a “single-payer’’ system.

Obama's SicKo Sequel

Obama said he did not because it would be too disruptive, but he said he did think a public insurance option would benefit consumers without hurting private insurers, despite their protests to the contrary.

Pffft: A Healthy Insult For the American People

“If you think about UPS and FedEx, they’re doing just fine,’’ he said, to laughter. “No, they are. It’s the Post Office that’s always having problems.’’

Actually, you just convinced me.

If it is NOT SicKo-style then I DON'T WANT IT!

One of the few attendees who gently challenged him on whether a federal health board would deny seniors care thanked him profusely and gushed, “He winked at me!’’

That is SO BUSH-LIKE!!!!!!!!

“If he had had just one pointed question, and he had addressed it was well as he could, he might have helped subdue some of that wild protesting going on across the country,’’ said David Munsey, a 54-year-old former Obama campaign volunteer from Exeter, N.H.

So the questions were softballs, huh?

This guy just looks better than Bush, huh?

When he's off the telepropmter he sucks.

Had Obama wandered outside of the cool gym, bathed in blue-white light, and into the noisy parking lot, where the hot sun steamed puddles from a morning rainstorm into sultry air, he would have faced quite a different set of questions.

Lisa Gravel, 39, of Manchester, held a sign that said “Stop Trashing Our Constitution.’’

He really doesn’t want to hear what I have to say, or what any of the people on this side of the street have to say,’’ she said. That is TRUE!

Some of the opponents had clearly come to vent....

And THERE is your AGENDA-PUSHING PAPER and its DISAPPROVING INSULT!

Btw, money-losing liar, we have JUST CAUSE to be ANGRY!!

But many others stood quietly with their signs and offered crisp critiques of the situation when asked....

YUP!!!!!!!!!

That SURE ISN'T the IMPRESSION you have gotten from watching or reading the AGENDA-PUSHING AmeriKan MSM , huh?

Only took 'em the WHOLE HATCHET-JOB article to get to it.

And still think he and they are different?

"White House objects to ad referring to first family

WASHINGTON - The posters went up last week, 14 in Union Station. On each of the large displays, a thought bubble rises up from a picture of a beautiful 8-year-old: “President Obama’s daughters get healthy school lunches. Why don’t I?’’

A Washington nonprofit that advocates nutrition-policy reform paid $20,000 to get its message across and carefully maneuvered through the tangle of local regulations to display its posters.

But within 24 hours of the signs’ appearance, the White House asked the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine to take down the ads, which feature Jasmine Messiah, a vegetarian who attends a Miami-Dade County public school that, she says, offers no vegetarian or vegan lunch options.

The group has so far declined to take down the posters. “They felt that mentioning the president’s children was off-limits,’’ said its president, Neal Barnard. “They said [they’re] not going to allow the use of their daughters as leverage.’’

Yeah, he's part of the family now (the Bush crime family and globalist syndicate).
