Bachmann: Obama arrogant, close-minded on health care reform

Hard to argue with an expert.

If anyone knows how to be arrogant and closed-minded, it is Ms. Bachmann.

Women, for the most part, are not arrogant or egotistic.

But in Michele Bachmann’s case, I am willing to make an exception.

Ah. Faith over fact with a twinkle in her eyes. Isn’t this how liberty dies?

Oh, sweetie! Have you got one humungous case of what the shrinks call “projection”. Look it up. Or, if you can’t figure out how to do that, just get a mirror. Arrogant? Close-minded? Pot? Kettle?

I thought it was “Job Killing” taxes that were gonna destroy our country… Now its “Job Killing” health care reform?? I guess the Republican “Bagger” strategy is to put the two words “Job Killing” in front of every piece of legislation that Obama signs forth.. “Job Killing” DADT.. “Job Killing” economic reform, “Job Killing” Anti Bullying , “Job Killing” Stimulus, “Job Killing” J Walking prevention.. Ect. Ect. .. If these knuckle heads weren’t owned by FOX News and OPEC most of America would understand that all of the “Job Killing” has been done by The U.S Chamber of Commerce and our Chinese Overlords… As far as “Arrogance”, Michele Look in the Mirror!! You are the Poster Girl! Isn’t Vanity a Sin???

An example of Demagogery in it’s ourest form…..”Reapeal the President”? You can’t make this shit up!

If any of them said anything truthful or accurate or objective, I didn’t hear it over the BS alarm going off.

I also think that repealing the whole bill is not the best choice. There are some pieces we may want to keep, some we may not. But above all what is needed is the conversation and discussion that we did not have before. I don’t see any reason to change provisions such as: No child can be denied insurance coverage because of a pre-existing condition.

Red State, Republican, T-Bag, “Right-wing” & Conservative Christian Hypocrisy: Republican Conservative Christian Rep. Bachmann’s clinic takes in thousands from “socialized medicine” http://www.americanindependent.com/9517/bachmann%E2%80%99s-clinic-takes-in-thousands-from-%E2%80%9Csocialized-medicine%E2%80%9D

That’s not “socialized medicine” you moron. That’s government assistance. Republican aren’t against helping people who need help. Socialized medicine is when government runs or controls healthcare for ALL the people whether they need help or not.

And making money from a government contract to provide a service isn’t a “government handout” either. It’s getting paid to do a job.

Just because an alleged jounalist doesn’t understand the difference doesn’t mean that regular people have to be as dumb.

“But, according to a new ABC/Washington Post poll, only 18 percent of Americans favor repealing the entire health care reform law.”

Yeah? Well according to the only poll that matters, the one that was taken in November, a majority of the voters elected republicans because they promised to overturn Obamacare.

That won’t happen completely until Obama’s been replaced, but it will happen.

Repeal is not going to happen ever. Repair? Tweaking? Yes. There’s even the possibility of the death of a thousand cuts, but repeal? Not going to happen. Wait until the seniors figure out that the Good Old Plutocrats are planning to reopen the doughnut hole. And then remember that by the end of this debate most of the boomers will be subject to the hole — and we’re one mighty big lump in the snake, dontcha know?

The house and Michelle are tilting at windmills. How about we skip the grandstanding and get about the peoples business?

Michele Bachmann knows nothing else but GRANDSTANDING!!! That is all that she has done since being elected to Congess! How else has she USED her position as a member of Congress to gain such National attention??

Michele Bachmann is ADDICTED to atention! She needs her FOX fix to remain relevant.

Her attitude towards the downtrodden in her District is deplorable. Everything good that has been put before her for a vote to give people in the 6th CD a hand up, she has voted NO to. Her undying support of Big Business and other Corporate needs is what feeds her coffers. Michele Bachmann is as much part of the PROBLEM in Washington as she thinks she is part of the solution.

When are the voters of the 6th CD going to figure that out? Perhaps never, which is sad!!

Poor Dennis – so much mis-information to spread and so little time.

charles thompson – “How about we skip the grandstanding and get about the peoples business?”

That is what they are doing – getting the GOVT. our of peoples business.

“We’re staying full square behind the repeal of ‘Obamacare’ and our commitment to defund it moving forward,” she said.

You will find the American people suffering if you do-look at the polls. The GOP has no good answer, just the go to the ER, everybody. That’s all they have.

For the most part, I don’t have a problem with Bachmann, but she does need a bit of a reality check, on this one as do most Republicans. The last election issued a major hit to Democrats who’s “Tin Ear” cost them the majority in the House and some seats in the Senate. But Bachmann, Boehner, and my own Rep. Brett Guthrie, (R) – KY, must think that we are all blind, deaf, and dumb.

I have been watching the Republicans in the House since the election, and having actually read the entire bill that was passed into law, I’ll say out right that “Obamacare” SUCKS! But since the election I have heard all of the Repubs say that we need to de-fund and repeal Obamacare, well Congress Persons…you have the majority, whats stopping you? DO IT!

Initially, I did not care one way or the other about the health care law, but when the story broke about Obama’s proposed solution to VA costs, and Obama was quoted as saying …

“Look, it’s an all volunteer force,” Obama complained.
“Nobody made these guys go to war. They had to have known and accepted the risks. Now they whine about bearing the costs of their choice? It doesn’t compute..”
“I thought these were people who were proud to sacrifice for their country,” Obama continued. “I wasn’t asking for blood, just money. With the country facing the worst financial crisis in its history, I’d have thought that the patriotic thing to do would be to try to help reduce the nation’s deficit. I guess I underestimated the selfishness of some of my fellow Americans.”

Now in all fairness I looked into this comment and Snopes says it is not true and that the President never said this, but the White House did issue a statement on this…

THE WHITE HOUSE

Office of the Press Secretary
__________________________________________________________________
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 18, 2009
Statement from Press Secretary Robert Gibbs on the President’s Strong Commitment to America’s Veterans:

The President has consistently stated that he is committed to working with veterans on the details of the 2010 VA Budget Proposal. The President demonstrated his deep commitment to veterans by proposing the largest increase in the VA budget in 30 years and calling VSO and MSO leaders into the White House for an unprecedented meeting to discuss various aspects of the budget proposal. In considering the third party billing issue, the administration was seeking to maximize the resources available for veterans; however, the President listened to concerns raised by the VSOs that this might, under certain circumstances, affect veterans and their families’ ability to access health care. Therefore, the President has instructed that its consideration be dropped. The President wants to continue a constructive partnership with the VSOs and MSOs and is grateful to those VSOs and MSOs who have worked in good faith with him on the budget proposal.

If Obama did not make that statement or something similar, I have to wonder, why the statement? Looks like damage control to me. As for the claim that Obama made the largest increase in history to the VA…that buys little since VA medical care has consistently received increases over the years and what did we get?? Does Walter Reed ring any bells? Politicians, Obama included never seem to learn that merely throwing our tax dollars at the problem rarely fixes it. Putting their feet on the ground at the point of attack is what’s needed, not taking more in taxes only to hand it back and telling that they are doing us a favor by redistributing it.

Dennis
“That won’t happen completely until Obama’s been replaced, but it will happen.”

Obamacare is here to stay, only because even though it is a very bad bill that trades freedom for mediocre health care, it has been voted in and like Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid (all three of these are dying a slow death due to Congress robbing them dry), it will eventually die of natural causes, it will be a burden not easily thrown off.

charles thompson,

“How about we skip the grandstanding and get about the peoples business?”

Odd, Pelosi said a similar thing, quite often, she was always about “Doing the peoples business”, yet of all the garbage that she rammed through the House, NONE of it ever helped me in the least, so who are these “people” who’s business the liberals are allegedly doing?

From the debt (Bush X 3) and deficit ($14 trillion), that the left has run up in the last two years, it is apparent that the people’s business is not what the Democrats are doing, it is simply “the people”, that the Dems have been “doing”.
