Yawn

Can't you come up with somethng a little more original?

And like I said they just finished showing Obama's speech this afternoon in Portland.

So, stop your lying.

Did he talk about the 21% medicare cut on 4/1 (today)? Did he talk about Corporate tax changes ?
Did he talk about small business and cash outlays for having over 50 employees and no health care ?
I honestly do not recall, however, he did talk about the value of patience, something I appreciate greatly:

By the way, this had nothing to do with the health care reform bill:

And, it was averted, for now:

The reason it had 'nothing to do with the bill' was because if it were in there, as it should have been, they never could have come out with 'deficit-neutral'. It's a real expense. That will be paid with real dollars. And increase the real cost of the bill.

But lets pretend it has nothing to do with healthcare reform.

Sure they do... they're all over that 3,000% reduction in insurance premiums Obama promised...


YouTube - Obama: Premiums Will Decrease 3000% So You Should Get A Raise When H'care Is Passed

When does that materialize, bob?

Yup..pretend it was never there. Deny it got pulled because it would send the CBO numbers into the red.

Yes, and, I agree that it should have been addressed. I've never understood the piece-meal system of budget fixes, etc. that the government likes to indulge in.
I think it was a huge missed opportunity.
