Wonkette
Yay is everybody ready for the most rip-roaring good time ever at a town hall since a mob of outraged yokels stole George Washington’s wooden teeth and chased him off the premises clad only in his skivvies and the 18th-century version of a women’s brassiere (two monkey skulls held together with catgut and lignum vitae)? That’s what happens when you mess with New Hampshire, the forgotten Appalachia of the American Northeast.
Just watch, this town hall will be utterly dull and free of violence. That would be a terrible waste of time.
1:03 PM: President Obama is a latey latesky laggard, as usual. Meanwhile, the crowd sits attentively. UNACCEPTABLE. Where are the rotten vegetables, the heaps of poo? Oh wait now they are standing, as if somebody “important” is arriving (for them to fling poo at).
1:05 PM: SHUT UP ED RENDELL. Here comes the preznet! They found some black people in New Hampshire for President Obama to shake hands with.
1:06 PM: “It’s great to be back in New Hampshire, where Hillary Clinton cried and then kicked my ass a year and a half ago.”
1:10 PM: Oh hell the cable just FROZE while Obama explained the entire history of the economy. It was probably boring, though, right?
1:13 PM: He has really gone populist here, railing against the insurance companies and the Wall Street Bankers and the Wealthiest Few. Which probably works in NH, where everybody (except David Souter) is poor.
1:15 PM: Yaaah fuckyou insurance companies!
1:15 PM: Nervous laughter about “rumors.”
1:18 PM: Ha ha, cute bit about dermatology.
1:19 PM: Goddammit nothing but polite-to-enthusiastic applause at this thing. How can we allow this person to talk into a microphone when he did not produce a laminated long-form birth certificate at the entrance of the Portsmouth High School Gymnasium? How can we be certain this speaking humanoid form is even Barry “Sorento” Obama II, and not some Soviet spy sent from Canadia to socialize our healthcare?
1:21 PM: “Wild misrepresentations.” Yep, this is definitely a robot.
1:25 PM: The wind-up sounds like all of his old campaign speeches: change isn’t easy, now is the time, etc. Jesus, now they’re chanting “Yes we can.” Thank you, band!
1:27 PM: Peter Schmidt, evil twin of Hank Paulson, asks: why bother with this bipartisan crap if the Republicans won’t play ball?
1:31 PM: Stupid president keeps turning his back to the cameraman. Doesn’t he know he’s on television?
1:32 PM: Grassley, Ezni, Snowe: These are the only Republicans who will be spared the Death Panel. In conclusion, yes, fuck bipartisanship.
1:33 PM: “I saw a lot of signs outside saying mean things about reform and healthcare. How do kids know what’s true?” Aww KYOOOT. Obama clarifies: The Death Panels are only for Republicans who carry mean signs.
1:36 PM: The sign language translators are just fascinating. So expressive! They really talk with their hands, like Italians.
1:37 PM: Thank you Mr. President for pointing out that insurance companies ration healthcare ALREADY. Ah but sneaky: In the future, healthcare will not be rationed by insurance companies, it will be rationed by “experts.”
1:39 PM: LIPITAW. This man wants his LIPITAW. Why can’t he have it? The sign language lady is going nuts, spelling out “Lipitor” every time.
1:43 PM: Don’t worry, purple lady, your Medicare will be fine.
1:45 PM: Prescription drugs. Everybody is on so many pills. Looming donut hole. Cut the whole in half.
1:46 PM: Cheerful Republican from Maine/Florida! Very cute. “Do you still, as yourself now, support a universal plan?” Answer: Universal is not a single payer plan. (Single payer would be so awesome, but it would be “too disruptive,” on account of our dumb history of employer-based health insurance, so universal healthcare would be nice for, you know, everybody.)
1:48 PM: Man, last August 11 we were talking about, let’s see, John McCain plagiarizing common proper nouns, which was way more fun than this bullshit. Health care is for old people, the end.
1:51 PM: Another lady in lavender. OBAMA IS BIAS. Aw, the nice lady asked about mental health care! How wonderful that somebody in this gathering cares about people’s brains. Obama doesn’t, though, he’s just like “Yeah feelings are important” and moves on.
1:54 PM: An extra from Gossip Girl asks about “the future” and skyrocketing inflation.
1:56 PM: Meh. People are looking bored. Levi Johnston asked a boring question. Now President Obama will have his wooden teeth stolen and he will be doused in poop…
1:58 PM: Obama wants a CHALLENGE from the DOUBTERS. So he takes one from a lady with steely gray hair and lots of necklaces, a “paraprofessional.” Where will all the doctors and nurses come from to treat to the 46 million uninsured people who will suddenly have health insurance under his plan?
2:03 PM: Regarding the Death Panels. They will help guide how “the delivery system works,” meaning “how many old people to exterminate, and in what manner.”
2:08 PM: Enough of this. Everybody go eat a couple Lipitor, get a foot amputated, and give your sign language interpreter a big wet kiss.
Trying to connect to CNN.com’s feed… nothing yet.
First Question: “AAAAGAGGGGAGAGGAGG BLAALAALRG SOCIALISM FORRINER ARRGR NAZI DEATH PANALES BLAAAARGH!!!!!!!!!!!”
Oh, wait, that was just the prepared statement.
Connected to MSNBC.com’s feed.
Thank god it’s New Hampsire, where you could fit all of the birthers/freepers into a phone booth.
I was just down there where the protesters are. Lots of crazies with megaphones.
He’s working the collar, cravat, jacket and whatever else you call the rest of that, but that wig has always been the silliest fashion in history, and Barry could definitely do without it.
I’m trying to connect using Saran Wrap and peanut butter and a Radio Shack antenna mounted on my head. I’m not receiving anything either, but it feels so right.
Have any of the Teabag-Deathers used ‘the N-word’, ‘T-word’ or ‘M-word’ yet?
Where are the boos? I’m disappointed so far.
MSNBC has a good feed:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/22887392#22887392
Barack Obama will save the children, but not the British children.
Gimpson: Yeah. This is gonna be boring.
What with all the reps in the audience? Don’t they have European vacays to get to??
Gimpson: I think the gun detectors that Secret Service set up to get inside the town hall meeting probably prevented most of the protesters from getting in.
Gimpson: Paul Hodes and C. Shea-Porter got some boos. Maybe.
Hats off to Sara for using lignum vitae in a political blog item!
They found some black people in New Hampshire for President Obama to shake hands with.
Brought them in from DC by bus, obviously. Them freepers aren’t the only ones that can charter a bus you know!
Connected via shoelace, pie tin, and Napa Cabernet, prettygood recepshun but no audio. Plz continue.
Gimpson: Well, the death panel is on site and they’ve already picked out the old and in-firmed white medicare recipients who came to shout and silenced them in the death buses outback. So it ought to be quiet event.
Can we get a split-screen of the birthers outside being simultaneously tased until they have brown streaks running down their legs? No? Well, that isn’t very nice.
Hopefully there’s a little tazer action.
Wonder if the guy down the street with the gun will be allowed to ask a question. He has rights ya know, and one of them is the right to be stupid in spades.
I’m trying to load the MSNBC thingy, but all I see is an ad for $700 cream. And Scientology.
Guess all the fuckwits are still at Arlen’s, back at the greeter stand at Walmart or standing in line at the smothered steak bar at Sizzler.
I am listening to this on the radio at work, so I’m missing the footage of protesters dressed as Uncle Sam and waving Obama = Hitler signs that I’m sure will be all over CNN.
Relying on Cobra? Where’s GI JOE?!
Barry admits that he’s here to “serve patients.” They’re scrumptious with dijon.
nbawriter: Switched to the Fox News feed hoping that they would hook us up, but no dice.
smartypants: Paul Hodes better be getting a lot of support from Obama in his senate race, considering he endorsed Obama right after his announcement in Springfield. My brother said he’s cool, after eating lunch with him, and that’s good enough for my endorsement.
azw88: afroturf?
Nice blond over Barry’s left shoulder. First rate staff work.
If you DON’T like your doctor, shoot him. This is already espoused in Kansas.
1:10: yes, it was really boring.
azw88: Actually, they’re the bus drivers for the pro-Obama olds. Two birds!
“If you like your doctor, you can keep your doc.. if you like your health pan, you can keep your health plan. If you like your grandmother, you can keep your grandmother, in your freezer.”
Why did they no let some birthdeathers into the hall? I hope they did, so they can look like asses with a wider audience.
And is it just me, or does anyone else feel starbursts in her knickers every time Hopey gives a speech?
Foxnews.com is listing every single town hall on its frontpage as crazy feed.
Brendan M.: I’d have to see your brother first, but yeah, okay.
I like that he’s going after the insurance companies. Now if the damn health care bill would reflect that…
widget09: nbawriter: “Don’t tase me, afro!”
I guess Barry and Wonkett thinks everything is funny…
Organ failure jokes always go over well.
Yay, he’s being funny about internal organs! Guts, baby!!
No Wonkettinis for lunch today. I’m switching to prune juice and vodka in honor of this occasion.
“Just watch, this town hall will be utterly dull and free of violence. That would be a terrible waste of time.”
I truly hope so because I am nervous as hell but at the same time thrilled that Hopey is willing to take a chance to be yelled at by some ignorant old people, yelling about crazy stuff.
I hope this guy gets along with his new Secret Service friends for the next eight years.
I now hope he’s the Antichrist, so he can kill the birthbaggers right now.
ph7: Bwaaaahhhaaaaahaaaaa..we will use teh list to hunt down teh oldz and bitterz and tarded!!
Why did Milton Waddams get the primo spot behind Hopey McLyingaboutDeathPanels?
norbizness: You are so awesome. That is all.
I don’t think you can detect prostate cancer “on the front end”, Preznit
DustBowlBlues: I think the sign-ups were a random draw. I signed up and there were no questions about political orientation, just your name and address.
Of course, the freepers will probably claim that the administration cross referenced their names with Big Brother to make sure they weren’t enemies of the Party, but I didn’t get a seat myself.
ph7: So Fox news is part of the organic, totally not engineered, grassroots anti-health care reform movement? Nice.
I remember back in 2003 when the liberal media plastered their websites with the locations of all of the anti-war protests, and then George Soros bussed us all around the country.
Oh right, THAT NEVER FUCKING HAPPENED.
Yeah, this is going to be a well-behaved crowd…it’s just no fun to fuck around when the secret service is in town. Guys in gals in ray-bans, no discernible of humor and a zen to face slam some Beck-watching clown who’s just itching to say ‘kill him’.
I am Barack’s raging bile duct.
Open up for questions? Are you fucking crazy?
“Talking WITH each other”!!! What kinda socialist Muslin hippy bull is that!
norbizness: Gin and percocet is a whole lot easier.
Check out Nervousy McNoeyebrows Pinkcheekyson over Nobama’s shoulder lookin’ all shifty like some sorta weird scarecrow
CNN is advertising that some Republican tool will respond to Pres Obama’s remarks. God, I hate the MSM.
“we can’t let them do this…not this time. Now join me in a rousing chorus of ‘don believe the hype’ “
Today, we are all lignum vitae.
Rev. Peter Lemonjello: I’m thinking a rum painkiller.
4tehlulz: he’s a real man, that one, carryin his gun where the whole world can see it, low and tied down
no concealed carry permit necessary if you’re wavin the damn-fool thing around
DustBowlBlues: Yeah, he’s on his game today. I’m just wondering how long it’ll be before he starts in with that “Jesus, you’re an idiot” look on his face whenever he has to deal with people who are idiots.
Extemporanus: You should know by now that sex with ducts and gay marriage are one and the same.
Preach baby preach…..go go go go go go go go go
Ooh, now everybody’s screaming and chanting! This is getting crazy!
PrairiePossum: As a recovering alcoholic who hasn’t had a drink in 33 years, I’ve resorted to the prescription narcotics to celebrate the q and a.
Girl-boy-girl-boy? What is this, some socialist kindergarten?
He ended that like he was being ushered out at the end of an Emmy acceptance speech.
Dreamer: Bobby Jindal, if there is a God.
I love the Fox Nation headline, OBAMA BRACES FOR HEALTH CARE TOWN HALL, and then “Obama will use a potentially boisterous town hall-style meeting…” haha it’s a bunch of pudgy white New England libtards, this isn’t your Arkansas gun-toting rage orgy
HAHA THEY’RE YES-WE-CANing, how retro!
GO BACK TO CAMBRIDGE YOU MASSHOLE!!!!!!!
He just introduced the band.
He’s going to take over for Letterman, isn’t he? That’s what this has all been leading up to.
Dreamer: CNN , the Lou Dobbs-hates-mexicans-network can suck it.
What is it with Nobama and his constant terrorizing of Amurcan Airways with Infomation.
Obama: “If I hear only from people who agree with me, I will seek out those you disagree, then kill them with my bare hands. Who got the first question?”
I’ve been on the freeper live thread for five minutes now and I have to say, their criticisms are really half hearted. I haven’t read anything about teleprompterzz and long form whatseehoozits. I mean:
“Obama just stuttered. He stutters when he’s nervous”
“And he wants it up front! LOL”
Really?
OBAMA YOU TOLD THAT JOKE AT THE LAST FUCKING TOWN HALL *facepalm*
Okay I think the first questioner just heckled the Republicans.
Cries of “plant” coming in 3….2…..1…..
Oh man, he screwed up the “keep the government’s hands off my Medicare joke”?
Obama:”I do think it’s important, for Seniors who receive Medicare, to Shut The Fuck Up, and stop screwing up the future lives of their descendants.”
norbizness: I second your awesomeness and hope you can attend our next teabagging event.
OMG, Sign Language Lady is doing it without TELEPROMPTER.
Hm, that’s a funny sign for ‘Republican’.
Barry, Barry, Barry….don’t you understand? No one wants fairness! Fairness means you have to give stuff to other people and that is just not acceptable.
Dreamer: As will MSNBC, and Fux, but Fux will have some foaming birther/ deather…
Geeze, the crowds being respectful….come on nutters, where are you hiding? You’ve been running you’re fucking sucks for months about how terrible Obama-the Muslim-socialist-Nazi-Kenyan-terrorist-lord high commissioner of the death panel is. Well he’s right there, man up and say it right to face, bunch of fucking cowards.
Nine year old kid…OK, that’s a bit much, that even smells ‘planty’
I
THIS GIRL IS ADORABLE! Aw and she asked a question about wingnut tea partiers! I want my own adorable lil libtard girl human!
That is NOT a child–that is a nazi muslin midget!!!
DEATH PANELS!!!!! He said it. Fuck you Palin and you’re upcoming divorce you Godless twat!!
The girl who just asked the question sounds suspiciously like Abigail Breslin.
Barack Obama: “Death panels will… pull the plug on grandma.”
Question from a 10-year old…answer about killing grandma.
Oh Barry … why must you break your short-answer pledge on the first question?
Ah, a president who speaks in full sentences. Sigh…
yes, yes, yes, cute little girl asking “why mean things” question so Hopey can make fun of the birthdeathers.
Of course, do her parents know they will now be hounded by Fox News minions, followed, their finances investigated by having freaks going through their garbage? Poor kid. One moment of fame will cost her family’s blood.
Seriously guys, I had death panels installed on my roof and I’ve saved 30% in my utilities.
“I am not in favor of [death panels].”
TGY: Oh, do I ever! You should see the duct tape I made on my wedding night.
itgetter: Well, they can’t comment until they watch the recap on Fox or listen to Rush’s take on things..THEN they can form an opinion.
widget09: Apparently you’ve never been? Maybe you’re thinking of Vermont, America’s Whitest State(TM), but NH has proven to be shockingly libertarian. In my experience. Although largely to piss off their southern neighbor.
Also, nobody admits Maine exists. Also.
He’s not actually answering that little girl’s question…
MICHELLE MALKIN WILL FIND OUT WHAT YOUR COUNTERTOPS ARE MADE OF, LITTLE LIBTARD MOPPET
+1 for using the cute little girl to innocently point out the crazies!
DustBowlBlues: hired midget, obvsly.
Whoa, Julia from Mass. is getting an earfull.
“What’s that wicked retahdahd kid’s name again? Trog?”
Freerepublic live thread just had a fucking BRAIN ANEURYSM over the little girl!
Mr. Preznit, I’m Ed Johnston from Washington Falls, New Hampshire. I have this mole on my back. Can you take a look at it? Also anal leakage. Thank you.
I think he just blamed the problem on “beaners.”
I know Carlos Mencia, sir, and you are no Carlos Mencia.
Hopey is resisting the urge to blame the Republitards for ramming through the big-Pharma-lobbied legislation a couple years ago. Stop resisting!
Barry is straight up unflappable. I mean, you just never see him flap.
SHOW US THAT BIRD CERTIFICATE BIRD BOY!!!!!
Fat Man complaining about not getting his cholesterol meds easily through medicare. Stop eating 7000 calories in trans fats a day and walk 20 minutes a day…then we will care about your health problems
Dude on Lipitor….please exit to the right of the stage and prepare to be euthanized…(bwwaahhahaaa–another one that fell for the ‘town meeting’ ploy)…
Oh wow, he’s giving specific prescription medicine advice to some dude right now. The President of the United States is giving one-on-one diagnosis advice.
How much does this remind you of the SNL skit where Jimmy Carter talks about different kinds of acid with some guy and talks him down over the phone
Asking guys with baseball caps; always a risky move. Hopey is going to say that the New Hampshire aid people did something stupid.
mattbolt: oh noes. I hope they have insurance; those aren’t cheap to treat.
smartypants: Rep. Pete Olson. Never heard of him.
Hey, Captain Chunkenstein … Lipitor isn’t the answer. Put down the doughnut.
Downtheroadapiece:
“the death panel is on site and they’ve already picked out the old and in-firmed white medicare recipients who came to shout and silenced them in the death buses outback”
I want to fill out an application to be on the death panel. I have an old Darth Vader costume and a sickle, so I believe I am well qualified.
mattbolt: …but do they have health insurance to cover it?
This needs to be livened up with a straight “Were you born in Kenya, and why don’t you have a birth certificate?” question.
Mr. President, I don’t have a question. I’ve got three thank-yous…
Very disappointed noone brought ANYTHING in a ziplock bag.
Apparently Fox News has cut away. I only learned this by reading the Freeper liveblog, I wouldn’t touch that fucking channel even if I had it (fun fact: you can’t even get Fox News in socialist Canada out of human decency)
Hurr, hurr…he said “penile eyes”! Hurr…hurr, hurr.
Hmmm…fat guy on Lipator…get put on generic meds, didn’t work, Medicare changes it back to Lipator. OK, so the system worked? Did I miss something here?
jbd: We’re here. Really. Just look east. Please?
druranium: That’s the kind of compassion and understanding that I would expect from Obama’s Death Panel. Really lovely.
mattbolt: the future anry feminist was adorable.
PrairiePossum: I was a judge in a 3rd mock trial of Jack who stole from the Giant in the clouds using the beanstalk. How can I get in on this death panel action, too?
A Republican!!! Get him!!! Hold him down and give him teh ghey!!!
I’m really just looking forward to seeing the Secret Service take one of these nut balls down. A couple of them, even.
Rev. Peter Lemonjello: Maybe - we need to see what kind of freakshow is taking place outside…
AH HA…A Republican! From Maine! OK, ‘who can compete with the government’…
Lemme see if I got that right, a Republican admitting that the Government can do health care better than the private health care system.
I did indeed pick the wrong day to stop sinffing paint markers
Faux News has broken away from covering this. A sure sign that Hopey is making sense.
Yeah, god, let’s not have a plan like they do in Canada or France where everyone gets good care and they spend far less on it. Sheesh, what do you think I am, sensible?
“I take a lot of medication … I mean A LOT of medication. Mr. President, I am sucking pills up my cornhole right now because my mouth is busy talking to you right now.”
Fox is complaining about the forum while it’s still going on. Hey, way waste time.
Photograph of the death panel, in action:
http://laweekly.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/force_choke_2.jpg
Carl Spakler: The part where those on private insurance would have been told “tough shit, either stay with the generic or pay out of pocket”?
From the freeping Freepers:
“I guess I should have trusted my instincts.
America: This THUG wants to kill our white grandmothers so the inner city thieves, thugs, welfare queens and other scum will get healthcare! I am also shaking mad like everyone else. How dare he! This man hates our white grandmothers and loves the non-producing moocher scum of the world!”
I certainly glad racism isn’t part of the opposition to Obama’s plan… oh, wait…
mattbolt: audience with short attn span + nobody screaming and engaging in fistacuffs (sp?)= Commercial Break! And then more on Michael Jackson, who is STILL DEAD!
Winning Freeper Comment so far:
America: This THUG wants to kill our white grandmothers so the inner city thieves, thugs, welfare queens and other scum will get healthcare! I am also shaking mad like everyone else. How dare he! This man hates our white grandmothers and loves the non-producing moocher scum of the world!
On a side note, reading the freeper liveblog… I wonder if they’ve read Dick Morris’ new book? Fun fact! of the 11 page intro - he uses ‘catastrophe’ (the name of the book) on 9 of them. Good read, people.
mattbolt: you read Freepers so we don’t have to - I stop in there once in awhile but start gagging almost immediately.
mattbolt: Really? That’s rad.
God this guy is boring. NEEDS MORE BIDEN.
TJBeck: Hopey should just ask if there are any birthers out there. He promised to call on those who disagree with him.
Postmaster General: Thanks a lot, Barry… Dick.
mattbolt: I checked Fox and they pretty much just gave up. Right now they’re having a panel discussion debating whether the health reform plan is totally evil or just evil and complaining there wasn’t enough shouting– as we all are but I’m guessing for completely different reasons.
stew: Alas, Fox was hopping for the crazy lady asking the Prezidnt for his burth certificate…then screaming “WHAT HAPPENED TO MY AMERICA?!??!”
So, they’ve cut away to a re-rack of the massacre at Lebanon.
If more Americans had mental healthcare the Repubs would be in deep doo-doo.
“If every American had access to good mental heath care, what do you think the impact would be on society?”
“There would be fewer republicans.”
Is everyone who has asked questions wearing purple?
“It’s the post office that’s always having problems”
No, no, no, no….. lowering forehead slowly to desk….oy.
The United States Universal Single Payer Medi-Post, you mean? Is it the death panels where they decide which letters to lose, is that where the main “problem” is?
Could have done without that line…
Q: “If everyone had access to good mental health care, what would be the impact on our society?”
A: Rush Limpaugh’s audience would drop to zero?
Finally–someone who actually lives in Portsmouth!! But she’s a teacher and she’s asking a question about mental health. Uh oh.
Hopey: Mental health has always been undervalued. Ya think??
Every single person in the Freeper thread is still chirping in, all together, that there is no generic version of Lipitor. Because fuck, if there’s one thing Freepers know it’s how to stuff their fat faces with cholesterol medication.
Hello Justin.
Obama:“If every American who needed access to mental health care received it, the Republican Party would cease to exist. Next Question.”
memzilla: BWAAAHHAAAAHA
memzilla: Less real content = more time for their pundits to reiterate that Obama’s death panels will kill grandma. Yay!
stew: Fox: “We don’t need to listen to what the Perzdnit says to know what he’s saying!”
“Hi Mr. (air quotes) President. Yes, I’m a doctor, real estate agent, and dentist, WHERE IS YOUR BIRF CERTIFICKATE , NOT YOUR CERTIRFICATE OF LIVE BIRF, BARRHAHRGGHGHHArrGHH NOM NOM NOM”
Awww….a young god worried about his parents. LIAR.
Oh my god, just watch the sign language interpreter. LOVE her. Give her her own show!
Bearbloke:
non-producing moochers
I’m gonna take a wild guess and say Granny Whitey McCracker is producing little more than gas, overcooked food (sorry grandma! But seriously, turn the oven down) and conspiracy theories.
That said, patrolling the Freepers at this important moment in history is god’s work my friend.
Bearbloke: Noonan: Y’all run along and shower now k? Wading in to Freeperland is ugly, nasty bidness. Thank you for your sacrifices.
druranium: I can just see Bill Maher making fun of the poor fat man. He will be an easy prey for comedians.
Noonan: “This man hates our white grandmothers”
Yes, but he loves our black grandmothers — if we can prove we have at least one. Otherwise, it’s off to the FEMA Death Camps with us.
Bearbloke: Do all Americans have white grandmothers? That’s interesting.
Wolfard: Oh goody!! I smell another conspiracy brewing….mmmmmmmm….
Purplez!!!!
He wonked FOX to unconsciousness in less than twenty minutes.
magic titty: Yes. According to Hallmark, anyway.
Noonan: Jinx! You own me a Coke…
Why is there a mime onstage?
Fucking mimes, go back to France and get some real healthcare.
Goody a crazy lady with no question
It’s an SEIU thing. He’s guaranteed to get a friendly question from someone in a purple shirt. Don’t tell the R’s, or he’ll be fielding birther questions from mouth breathers in violet.
itgetter: Freeper post #314: “This is more or less a forced transfer payment (aka mass distribution of wealth) from the producers (aka white Americans) to the moochers (aka blacks, mexicans, socialists, marxists, moslems, and other “minorities” taking advantage of the system).”
Is it time to trudge out he killed his grandma meme before the general elections? No? C’mon the time is now.
Okay, Barry, next wink at that guy who had both hands up!
If the preznit winked at *me*… I need a moment.
mattbolt: I don’t know where you live, but I have Fox News as included in my Rogers Cable “American-News-For-Americans” cable package along with CNBC, Bloomberg and MSNBC.
He WINKED???? Oh noes, it’s SP in a Barry suit……ARRGGGNGGGHWERHRWWERHWRWERWERWERHAAAAA

Seriously would these Freepers shut the fuck up about Lipitor, they’ve said the word 23 times on the last few pages of comments, half of them are bragging about how much they take and how much it costs, what a bunch of miserable blobs of bacon grease
magic titty: REAL ‘Merikins do, you Commie Fashist Pink Muslin Librul Terrerist…
Oh, good. Death panels. Wish we could just cold say, “Yeah. Health care will be rationed. Old fucks who smoked for 40 years shouldn’t be getting heart surgery when there’s no chance in hell their lungs will ever breathe on their own again.
I should say 40 years, 3 packs of Camel straights. The above example was my mother. She had insurance and the doctors who put her through this, as well as the hospital, all got their money.
magic titty: We get our white grandmas at Walmart, Aisle 17, right next to the wingnuts and eye bleach.
He’s milking “Death Panels” for all its worth. And since Gingrich supported the crazy, it’s completely legitimate to consider it the Republican view, and use it as a foil to explain the real bill.
Bwah hah hah.
Barry is so going to get crap for this, for not going into an environment where he’s being screamed at by angry white people who think he wants to kill their white grandmother and retarded white babies. No, instead, he’s allowed to be rational and answer questions in a reasoned manner which means, God forbid, people might actually get to listen and learn something. You’re right, no fun at all.
4tehlulz: Oh, well done [claps]….and so Teh Purplez was born.
WadISay: memzilla: Bearbloke:
Fuck, Freepers had the same joke as you three!
—–
“If every American had access to mental health care, what do you think the impact would be on our society?”
Man, even the canned questions are lame.
AND…if they all had mental health care….they wouldn’t vote for a fascist!

mattbolt: Honestly. You know how to make it cost less? Government fucking bargaining. I’d be shocked by how much people want to act against their own self-interest, but ideology is a bitch.
magic titty: I have two white grandmother (one of them a great-grandmother) and they both adore Hopey. My grate-grandmother will volunteer for Hopey’s Death Panels if they exist.
I ain’t be dissin no surgeons now.
THIS JUST GOT GOOD
S.Luggo: Yeah, I guess I visited during a lull. It was right before he mentioned the death panels. Now the freepers are doing us all proud!
You want to cure obesity in this country? First off, prohibit the televising of mouth-watering closeups of bacon cheezeburgers.
An American in Toronto: You’re missing Jerry Springer, Cops and Cheaters in your package… and you call yourself informed our American friends?
….And I’d like to close with announcing that American troops in southern Florida scored a major victory in the war on terrorism, when an unmanned UAV put two Hellfires into the side of the SS Limbaugh, destroying a load of bile which has turned American on American for far too long.

Nobama likes the purple cause he caught teh gheyz! Next he’ll call on Tinky Winky.
Yezzzzz, there is an enemies list…and you are SO on it, dude.
I don’t want a bunch of letters from surgeons … because your penmanship fucking blows.
magic titty:
Hopey had a white gramma, but NOBAMAS NO ‘MERIKAN CUZ HES COMMIE LIBRUL KENYA MUSLIN!!11!111
No birther question? How come there are no real Americans in this town hall?
In all seriousness, this guy is too good.
Why are you guys not as excited as I am about Obama smacking that guy the fuck down, is the webstream slower than the TV feed, if so SPOILER he kills an enemylisttard
Dreamer: Waiting 3 hours in line, getting wanded, past the cordon of dogs, and the other assorted serious folks, has a way of taking the piss out of one.
Not enough crazies. Plz hold next one down here in Florida.
Yeah, we’re done!!! Now when do I get my free online painkillers and abortions?
CNN just said that the people ‘were NOT hand-picked by the WH, by the way’….
Wow, CNN. You stopped sucking for a minute.
Preznit Hopemaster has a little more determination in his eyes than I’ve seen. And he’s more pissed. A beautiful thing to behold.
memzilla: LOLZ
norbizness: You’re not using enough aluminum foil.
Little known fact. Before every public appearance, Obama and his secret service detail get together and sing this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBR2G-iI3-I
Alas, I was hoping that he’d get one looney to scream at him, just to highlight how absolutely bat-shit crazy the other side of this so-called debate has become
Carl Spakler: Dream, but dream big. Think full aerial assault on all of FL, W. Va, and at least TX.
Dreamer: There were, but it was deemed that it was too expensive to the American taxper to allow them to live.
Obama:“Thank you and goodnight! Try the Soylent Veal…”
mr. obama — if that is your real name — the committee has subpoenaed you to appear today so that you may answer a few simple questions. to begin with, are you now or have you ever been a supporter of universal health care coverage? remember, mr. obama — or whatever your name is — you are under oath here today, sir.
Bearbloke: …and don’t forget to tip your death panel representative on the way out the door!
But, butbut… this isn’t killing babies… This isn’t killing babies at all!
Darn. I was interrupted by the delivery of my new washing machine. (If I had to replace a broken down appliance, which would it be: The first generation a)Maytag Neptune b)the old teevee c)the eMac. If you guessed a, you win)
Are all my friends leaving now? This sucks. Now I’ll be left with no company but my dogs or going into town to be around the doucebag birthdeathers. Yeah, my dogs are much, much smarter. And get better health care than most of the douches can afford.
Thank god, it’s over. I was starting to root for the death panel idea.
Racist douche-bag Freeper:
“To: Sparko
This Boy doesn’t talk, he whines.
He is a community agitator who defrauded his way into power and is using the White House to force us producers to give money to blacks and mexicans. That’s all this is about.”

Well, When I was at Woodstock…oh wait, wrong story.
facehead: Right song, wrong video.
Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POXSKhpvd90
Fixed.
CNN immediately starts sucking again by showing the clip of the crazee green lady at Arlen’s who wants me to give her the country back.
Bearbloke: Five bucks says the “producer” lives in his mommy’s basement and lives off her welfare.
I didn’t listen to all of the broadcast, but I suspect the only thing that will come out of it is “Obama Doesn’t Deny Plan for Death Panels.”
And on it goes.
He’s got my vote. I’m definitely going to vote Obama throughout the rest of August. Maybe even september.
So let me get this straight: If we just put a cardboard cutout of Preznit Obama on the stage at all these town hall meetings people will be more civil? Or does it take the mime on the side…
Bearbloke:
Hmm, none of the producers I’ve worked with seemed like Freepers. Just goes to show you, you never know about people.
DustBowlBlues: Birthdeathers! I like it.
MSNBC so bogus. Their reporter’s claiming he’s surprised Hopey didn’t stack the deck with people who consider him awesome. BEtcha’ we’ll get the truth from Faux news. You betch’a, wink wink.
BTW–While I was being interrupted, did Obama wink at a lady? If that happened to me, my knees would turn to jelly and at my ripe old age I would start beating off in public. What? I thought we were all friends here.
Bearbloke: Ah-ha, this clown reveals himself…the only thing this asshat has ever produced is bastard children and meth.
DustBowlBlues: Jebus I have one of those evil Maytag spawns in my garage right now. Please think of my suffering when you put a bullet into yours for me.
doxastic: “ideology is a bitch.”
she sure is. she gets around, too. i met her in berlin in 1942, when she was on holiday by the wannsee. she said she’d come from russia, though her story changed sometimes in little ways, depending on what she wanted. she said she was heading for america, though she wasn’t sure how long it would take her to get there.
Hey–everyone wanta’ stick around to hear Clare McCaskill lie about Hopey’s Kenyan birth?
The McCaskill townhall is being livecast now, and it’s a thing of beauty.
Pay for abortions? Hopey’s death panel would MANDATE then for anyone registered Republican. Which is why I support our president.
I watched the Fox, where erstwhile commentators said the President was very successful in his outreach efforts to dispel the falsehoods being circulated about the need for health care reform. America is proud to have such a leader, they said.
DustBowlBlues: I am still here…..I’m watching the afterbirth.
TJBeck: Yeah, I’m getting warmed up to it as well after watching the Arlen show.
Bearbloke: Another argument for the death panel.
Watching MacCaskill’s on MSNBC….she’s so nice and calm. Arlen should take a lesson.
smartypants: MSM has not been interested in anything but the next car wreck for years.
Where can I pick me a pair of them Deathflannels?
And now, we go live to a town full of screamers at Mccaskill’s little love-in.
Geeze, why didn’t these folks take a page from Bohner and Shelby…they hopped on planes with their wives and headed to Europe.
I wish I could go have an abortion and take pictures then show them around town. Just to make a point, mind you. I failed to ask the nurse to videotape my last one.
Jim89048: It’a all that Hope N’ Change, too powerful. Oh, and the Secret Service also..
slappypaddy: huh?
Ah, Clare. Deflecting the wingers with an honor the vets vote.
Jim89048: You also have to euthanize all of the birthbaggers on the way in, using a clever system of tunnels. Once you do that though, it’s civil, yep.
Clare stealin’ the wonkeratti idea to blame retards for wanting to remove medicare.
Clare’s doin’ a good job, isn’t she?
Actually, she’s doing a pretty damned good job shaming some of these folks….
oooh, another crazy lady questioner!
freakishlystrong: Oh yeah–almost forgot about the goonsquad. They kinda surrounded me last year at a Big Dog town hall. Very impressive. Scary, but impressive.
Oooh, Claire gives shoutout to veterinarians, for putting their lives on the line!
DustBowlBlues: It’s not just you.
Anyone understand what the blonde winger is raging about? I didn’t hear her. Not that it makes any difference to these nut cases.
Oh no are they going to start chanting the ’50s version of the Pledge again??
McCaskill for President,2016…oh wait, the world’s gonna blow up in 2012. Damn it!
Funny, how an army of Secret Service Agents shuts down the nutters. I like how she’s shaming the wingers and encouraging them to show their crazy side.
Hmmmm…new line of attack? How many VA hospitals will have to be closed in order to socialize health care. Second time I’ve heard this one.
Needs more wingnut.
Very constructive. Answer our questions, bitch. Ha. We won’t believe you until you say the same things are Sean O’Rushbeck.
WHERE IS MY AMERICA!?!?! I WANT MY COUNTRY BACK!!!!!
(sheepish font) oh, wait, never mind, it’s right here between the cushions in the couch, sorry
Well, this was fun. Have to get back to work. Stupid people suck shit.
See ya’, losers.
Yeah, answer our questions but we still won’t believe you we just want to scream and cry and get what we want, which is something we don’t know yet ‘cuz we haven’t been home to watch the teevee.
This takes me back to grocery shopping with small children. Good times.
Bearbloke: If that crap-sucking asshole produces anything more than accounting irregularities I will be really surprised.
smartypants: Except without that whole guns and swastikas thing.
Well I picked a fine time to doze off for a couple hours. I take it by the tone of the succeding post that Hopey made it out of that den of the deranged unscathed. Hallelujah! Now to wade through the 270+ comments.
WIDTAP: word.
facehead:
Victory Is Yours.
hobospacejunkie: You can doze after you’ve face the Death Panels…
4tehlulz: Ok, shopping with ‘infants in arms’, then.
I was watching the Washington Post coverage of the President’s town hall. They mentioned a guy who stood on a church lawn with a hand gun on his hip as the Presidential motorcade went by. Local law allows one to attend public events with a firearm in sight if he stays on private property. Some jackass of a preacher seems to have told “Rambo” he was welcome to stand with his gun on the church (?) lawn.
“It’s what Jesus would have done.”
TeddyS: “I watched the Fox, where erstwhile commentators said the President was very successful in his outreach efforts to dispel the falsehoods being circulated about the need for health care reform. America is proud to have such a leader, they said.”
Tell me you’re shitting us. I didn’t pencil-in the Apocalypse for another decade.
Single payer?
Medicare for all?
Off the table?
Just like Impeachment was…
The whole point of these town halls is to see what the American people THINK about health care reform.
The verdict so far?
THEY DON’T.
hobospacejunkie:
I missed too. They’ll repeat it in full on C-Span tonight. Live Free & Die Sick!
Has anyone noticed this? Cnn’s coverage of town hall insanity & health reform in general has been Foxonian. It has been in my view anti-health reform. After this Prez town hall today not one notation on their website of Prez’s town hall just Spector & McCaskill’s. I think they have too many Pharm adds on Cnn & Gupta is fishy & seems very corporate insurance. At least on Msnbc they have Olbermann & Schultz foaming at the mouth over reform. I think it’s very important how the press reacts, as I believe this had a lot to do with Prez winning the election.
magic titty: All Americans have at least a white grandmother or a white grandfather — oh, and a Jewish brother-in-law.
ExecutorElassus: excellent quote!
Great Town Hall, hope he got through to Americans and dispelled a lot of birther-death panel bullshit!
I hope someone took the President to task on his daughters dressing like typical gangsta trash.
June Cleaver 2.0: That Schlomo - what a card!
Re: 1:19 comment - How can we be certain this speaking humanoid form is even Barry “Sorento” Obama II, and not some Soviet spy sent from Canadia to socialize our healthcare?
Well, I can say for certain he’s not a Canadian spy. We abandoned our plans for a US takeover via infiltration (i.e. the “Saskatchewan Candidate” operation) back in 1989 - too many Jesus Goblins to be worth the time and expense.

LISTEN to what he’s saying, people!—-”Your health INSURANCE will be there for you when it counts, not just when you’re paying premiums,” Obama said.— Did you catch that? Sure, you’re (government) insurance will ALWAYS be there! Listen carefully… it doesn’t take a rocket scientist! As the terms change, so does the meaning!!!!!!!!!!
Can some of you wonkkies explain this comment to me?? I have been racking my mind trying to gauge the levels of deep-rooted FUCKTARDNESS in this comment. How deep down can u grasp for straws?? How committed to the KKK can u be?
mattbolt: How much does this remind you of the SNL skit where Jimmy Carter talks about different kinds of acid with some guy and talks him down over the phone
Wow. You win the obscure historical teevee reference of the week award. If you can fit in something about a desert topping or a floor wax you’ll be king of our nation someday.
Mr Blifil: Got a link to that by any chance?
mattbolt: I’ve already got dibs on Michelle Trachtenberg…”I pledge” and all.
slappypaddy: Didn’t Obama have a white grandmother?
I think Obama should give Americans a little history lesson. Explain how certain government programs got started and the history of health-care in this country.
Off the top of my head (and correct me if I’m wrong) Health-care: Up until mid 1940, most Americans didn’t have health insurance, so you had lots of general practice MDs that you knew & worked payment out with; you had company doctors & clinics; you had charity hospitals as well as private hospitals. During WW II, unions & corporations agreed to start including health insurance as part of the pay package in order to keep wages down. In the booming 50s, this continued because of a need for workers.
Other government programs: Food stamps started at the end of WWII because military doctors were horrified by all the malnutrition they saw in the conscripts (plus some sort of ag business deal).
Explain how and when (and, while you’re at it, mention in which party’s administration) Social Security & Medicare came in.
PS — Surely some of the cranky olds remember the depression and their mama’s crying because they couldn’t afford the doctor’s bill.
PPS — Oh, and the VA, too!
desertwind: KEEP GOVERNMENT OUT OF THE VA
GreatOldOnesParty: He also has four white Great-Grand-Mothers; after all, he is just a white man with a black father.
Shaking that little girl’s hand made my day.
desertwind: It wasn’t just the bill for botched abortion that did it. Their mamas also cried when they realized that they weren’t ‘producers’ and were just ‘taking advantage of the system’. The shame.
And furthermore… While all this ’splainin’ is goin’ on, I’d like to hear just what it is that non-Medicare/non-VA/non-government healthcare screamers think is so great about the health-care insurance they have now. Huh?
DustBowlBlues: “BTW–While I was being interrupted, did Obama wink at a lady? If that happened to me, my knees would turn to jelly and at my ripe old age I would start beating off in public. What? I thought we were all friends here.”
My 19-yr-old daughter asked me why I was laughing so hard. I shouldn’t have told her. Now she looks at me with suspicious eyes.
norbizness: You’re not using enough tinfoil.
jbd: My apologies, then New Hampshire is the Paultard capitol of the US?. Don’t Tread On Me Sukka.
Sorry to be such a drag but, seriously, these people seriously make me sick. If I weren’t such an agoraphobic pussy, I’d go to one of these meet-n-greets and give ‘em what for:
Yeah? I’ve got health-care, buddy. You wanna make somethin’ of it?
As self-employed fuckers we pay $9,000 a year for the privilege. That privilege also includes the privilege of $5,000-deductibles (each) and $40 co-pays. Whee! Thank god we’re in good health and don’t actually enjoy our privilege.
Our freelance business is tanking but we’re so privileged to go into our privileged savings account to pay our premiums.
Good thing our income will be shit for this year, so our self-employment tax (generally triple our income tax, BTW going toward SSI & Medicare) will be smaller than normal.
Fuckwitz.
Sick Puppy: Sorry if I offended the ears of your delicate 19 year old. My 26 year old lesbian daughter is a real prude.
DustBowlBlues: no no no, no apologies — bring it! I love your humor, and it probably makes it even better that she reacts the way she does. God knows a good laugh is good for the soul.
DustBowlBlues: My 34 year old straight daughter is a prude too. We must be doing something right.
