3. Our President hit it outa the park!

No wonder the repubs hate him so much. He scares 'em you-know-whatless!

What a great way to start the week!

8. They know he's going to get this...

...done. They know it and the insurance companies know it. I wrote a LTTE about this last week:

To my adult children, their friends and families,

You don't remember President Clinton's effort to fix our broken health care system in the early 1990's...you were too young. I believed then, as I believe now, that your future (and the future of those cute grandkids I love) depends on getting the issues right this time...including education and health care. And President Obama is on the right track.

As the debate heats up, it is difficult to separate fact from fiction based on newspaper accounts alone, despite journalists' best efforts. A lot of the misconceptions out there about health care reform can be traced to the powerful lobbying and misinformation campaigns of the very industry with the most to lose when the system gets fixed -- the private insurance companies who are taking advantage of the holes in current legislation.

You may not remember...but we've been here before. In the 1990's we faced the same opposition, using the same tactics, and we LOST the battle. That loss has been disastrous for our economy and the families that make up this great country...including ours.

So my hope this time is that all of us take the time to educate ourselves on this issue. The American people are too smart to allow insurance companies to succeed in tricking us TWICE.

We NEED health care reform and we need it NOW. We...all of our families... need it and our economy isn't sustainable without it. Those cute grandkids deserve it. Let's not miss the chance to get health care right this time.

4. This is Obama's Moment

Up til now, the American People have been getting spoonfed their Healthcare Reform by the Media.
So, unsurprisingly, they have developed a seriously warped view.

Obama can talk directly to the People like he did today.
Notice how the Media immediately began attempting to bend the message towards their perspective.
Telling us we did not hear what Obama just said. Telling us what he said.

Obama needs to just keep stepping into the focus of America and telling the Truth.
Soon we will not be able to take the media's version of Obama's speech seriously because we have just seen the man himself.

This is the greatest fear of those who use money and media to bend public opinion.
A benevolent President with the speaking ability to go completely around their filters of perception.

GOBAMA!

12. That ended abruptly at the 4.08 mark. Is that just a part one?

:shrug:

It ended right after he described his dream of his online marketplace for insurance.

[Cha]

13. Sorry? What

the fuck are you talking about?

[Stinky The Clown]

14. Here's what the fuck I asked you NICELY about .....

You posted a link to the speech he gave today. I missed it and was trying to watch. It ended abruptly at the 4 minute and 8 second mark.

Hence my CIVILLY ASKED question.

More to the point, perhaps ... WHAT THE FUCK IS **YOUR** PROBLEM??

I asked you a question in a civil tone and I get that shit from you???? Man, you got attitudinal issues, hunny.

[Stinky The Clown]

15. Hey ..... Nothing to say?

I asked you a decent question. No answer?

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Hello hello

Are you embarrassed or what?

[Stinky The Clown]

20. Thanks for the kicks...

21. Glad to do it. It serves me well, too. It shows off someone who deserves to be shown off.

It shows off a person who can't control what she types when she damned well ought to.

And thus ...... another kick.

And there could be more. I'd love to hear from her instead of from her little posse.
