Finally Obama says it!
Or at least it was the first time I heard it from him or any other pol.


While watching The Ed Show , I caught a clip of Obama finally saying to this effect: "I don't want a government bureaucrat standing in the way of you and your doctor.
Nor do I want an INSURANCE COMPANY BUREAUCRAT standing in the way between you and your doctor."


To me this is the most simplest, yet most powerful of arguments against these freeper turds bitching about government bureaucracy and their health care. These idiots like to think that these mega rich insurance cos are small time mom and pop operations who give a damn about you. NEWSFLASH! They're not. They're are soulless conglomerates whose only prime directive is to turn a profit. You are a dollar sign to them. At least the govt's (although not always the case as it should be) central purpose is to help its citizens, and not turn a freaking profit.

1. The audience went nuts
when he said that.

That's what he needs to keep stressing. That's his "magic line," the mantra that has to be stated over and over, in those simple terms.

That's the heart of the matter....................

13. exactly so, people DO have alot on their minds, I look at film advertising
& new tv series ads as an example. It takes seeing them several times for me to remember them & when they will play, it is probably the same for other people too.

3. It's just so damn refreshing to have a prez who can talk extemporaneously and make sense
after 8 years of inane bullshit. I think even the naysayers are beginning to see it.

16. I have to say every time Dumbya opened his mouth I trembled in fear he'd say something
that might actually cause us trouble. (Or say nothing like with the August 2001 PDB)

I might not agree with Obama on every single point but I'm damn proud to see him speak like an educated American.

22. I hear they've got feelers out for the "real" Homer Simpson for 2012.
pResident "D'oh" and (as the S.O. calls her) V.P. Paley. What a ticket.

21. Unfortunately, all versions of health care reform allow insurance companies
--to have preferred provider lists.

23. Obama is a genius at framing an argument in a debate. It's how he won the election.
