  • President caves in completely

    No mention of the public option and implies that people will be fined if they don't have coverage.

    The Republican ****ers won.

    I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned

    You expected something different?

    This is the Democratic Party we're talking about here, after all. They don't have any balls, even when they win a landslide election.

      He completely stood behind the public option.

      But he did throw out the mandatory insurance thing.

          Yeah! 20+ % of the general population will remain uninsured!

          Oh, wait... no comment (as there is no OP to comment on).

            I only wish the death panel thing is true. That actually sounds pretty awesome.

              Not really. But I had a glimmer of hope.

                What speech did you hear?


                Btw, I thought the speech was very well done. Consumer protection regulations on insurance companies, a health insurance exchange for the uninsured, and an individual mandate. Lets get it done

                  How can you loyalists respect this man? Er, let me rephrase that, how can you believe anything that his speech writer writes for this man and puts on the teleprompter? You would have been better off voting for the teleprompter, at least then there wouldn't be this constant racial tension.

                    Required health care in a time of economic crap hole is the worst idea ever. People that don't have insurance *like me* don't have it because we cannot afford it. I am in perfect health, mainly because I take care of myself. I am struggling because I don't paid enough and I just can't afford it...now it is a good thing to punish me and take money from me because I can't afford insurance? How does that work? How is that freedom of choice? Of all the things that are American, how does that fit in to freedom to speak your mind, believe in any god/s, protest, etc.?

                      He's black, Zaku, get over it. Not everyone hates black people, just you.

                      And Wiglaf.

                        If Wiglaf hates black people, how do you explain his constant need to pay black lawn workers to show their junk?

                          This would be an awesome troll, with some work.

                          Areas to focus on: If you appear at least slightly intelligent it may have more credence. Consider using faces. Emphasize the fact that you are poor and the reason you are poor is because the Black man is keeping you down. Discuss how disgusting it is that Obama wants to provide you with health care when you are too poor to afford it -- the nerve.

                          Here's an example of a good troll. It's good because it's true -- how can the "pro-life" people claim to be Pro Life when they, by and large, do not support universal healthcare? They're all about the rights of fetuses to live a healthy, happy life but once a baby is born all bets are off -- **** their health?

                          Interesting, isn't it?

                              And how the tax credits to purchase the health care because he is too poor is simply a ploy to foster dependence on the government.
