Ostrich syndrome at its best.
Who might you be referring to?

Keep hiding behind the Bush.
Funny thing is the ratings for this infomercial will be nill. People are sick of the used car salesman telling us how great he is.
A one sided infomercial on his healthcare reform does not promote debate. It promotes an agenda that Obama wants to pass before people realize what is going on. The idea is to keep our heads buried in the sand and not see what is going on at the surface. The putrid ratings will prove Americans will not blindly follow a leader.

And you guys are totally unable to ever question anything that Dear Leader ever does. Dear Leader appreciates your unconditional devotion. So there we are.

Talk about Ostrich syndrome.
I guarantee if we quizzed the liberals in here about the healthcare bill they would all fail miserably. Yet its the greatest bill in the history of American politics.

I never said I knew all. Quite frankly, I'm pretty much a dumb as*. But I do know that Obama's getting out there & trying things instead of sitting on his as* complaining....you know, like so many on this forum.

Personally, I am already getting a little tired of the "infomercials" I switch the channel when they are trying to sell me pills to make my manhood bigger, just as I switch the channels when he comes on and tried to sell his latest expensive project to us.

I think he isn't so much campaigning still, but trying to set his legacy, so we can all look back in 10 years and say "Obama did that."


..also, what happened to the "most transparent administration ever?" They sure do seem to keep a lot of things under wraps for being so transparent.

I m not directing at you personally. It is the conscensus among Obama supporters though that for some reason this bill must get passed NOW. When they hardly know a thing about it and the health care reform will take 5 years to kick in. I just believe many out there are getting the wool pulled over their eyes but what else is new in politics?
For the record I know next to nothing about this bill and have had no opinion on the specifics in the bill because of that fact.

PS I do agree- regardless of what is in the bill he is trying to get it done.
