Listening to it online..................
I'm trying to keep an open mind and listen, but so far it seems a bunch of glossy BS.
(which i'm not surprised by)

WHOA
He just got boo'd by the f'ing congress when he said
"reform will not apply to illegal immigrates"

WTF

Waste time listing to a Marxist parasite? I'd sooner eat the contents of my cat's litter box.

I did it I listened to his speech and I feel like I ate the contents of your cat's litter box.. He gave no details, it was all glossy promises. I'm not sure if he was annoucing a "new" plan or if it's still the old one he's talking about.
I really did not like the part where congress boo'd him for saying "reform will not apply to illegal immigrates". Not one bit.

LOL! I guess Mr. Obama is not radical enough for congress.

I can't stand to listen to him. The lies flow off his lips like maple syrup flows out of maple trees in the spring.

It was interesting when Congressman Joe Wilson shouted "You Lie!" during one of Obama's pauses. Specifically, it was when Obama stated that under his plan, illegal immigrants would not be covered by a public health care option.

While some contend that it was disrespectful and unwarranted, I find it to be indicative of the current administration's loss of control and popularity. It would be brazen and bold for anyone to interrupt the President. That it was done by a sitting US Congressman, even more so. I would expect this kind of act in one of the many town hall meetings as of late, but not at this level. Perhaps people have truly had enough, even at the highest levels of our society.

It's going to be an ugly 3.5 years.

Unbelievable. He said that his plan would insure more people, give better care, and cost less. Has someone repealed the laws of supply and demand?

He also repeatedly attacked the insurance companies for their evil "profits."

Funny that the profits he made on his book deals, the profits that Oprah and other celebrities make, and the $100 million in profits Al Gore has made from "global warming" are not evil.

Good for Congressman Wilson!

Actually, I believe that the boos were coming from people who believe that his statement was a lie. Joe Wilson from SC even yelled out "LIE!!"

More like Grima Wormtongue. I mean, we all know Obama isn't really the one calling the shots.

We're troublemakers down here in SC. Thank God somebody had the temerity to protest Obama's bullcrap speech.

Hey, profits are evil when the bad corporations are making them, but when your side is making them, well, then they aren't.

So, in what way is it constitutional to spend my hard earned money to purchase health insurance.

I understand car insurance, as driving a car on public roads isn't necessarily a right but rather a privilege. I can buy a car and put it on my property and not have to worry about insurance. I can keep it in the garage, or on the driveway, or in the backyard and not have to worry about insurance.

But, I don't exactly see how there is any power granted to the gov't to make me buy, at my own expense, some health care insurance plan.

longeyes · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2009, 01:22:40 AM »

Wilson may have apologized but maybe what we are recognizing is that the natives are getting restless. Obama has indeed brought "change," and part of that change is a new tone to public and civic intercourse in America. Let's for now just describe it as more "raw," but it takes a lot of bad faith and betrayal to truly rub a lot of Americans the wrong way. And that is where we are right now. Obama is The Great Rubber.

As for the speech, which I heard on the radio while driving, I kept thinking two things: Liar and Autocrat. Obama's cocksure, arrogant tone really grates on me; he is so full of himself. Before it was the bankers and the automobile makers who were The Evil Ones Who Make Profits, now it's the insurance companies. Who's next?

Did he really actually call anyone or their profits "evil" or is that something you guys are coming up with on your own?

makattak · « **Reply #23 on:** September 10, 2009, 08:46:30 AM »

I didn't listen to it all. I heard enough of it to know he's doubling down on lying to the American people.

I know Joe Wilson apologized, but I note that he apologized for "incivility". He did not retract his position, though.

Honestly, he echoed what I was yelling at the radio, anyway.

If applause, standing ovations, and cheers are acceptable behavior, then I find that jeers are equally acceptable.
