Could it that the MSM and WH press corps are getting an aversion the Chicago style thuggery in the WH ? Rove was good on Hannity tonight expressed his opinion that Obama was just a run of mill politician who said and did anything to get elected . I suppose that's one way of calling Obama the LIAR he is. A female singer told Hannity tonight that some of the Hollywood crowd are growing conerned about Obama and are expressing that this is not the changed they expected! Is Obama Halo slipping? How long before it encircles his ankles and he falls from grace big time? Edited by longstop, Jul 1 2009, 10:44 PM.

. I knew something was terribly wrong right away when he would push, push, push for one position and then get on a Saturday Radio address and take the opposite side of the issue. We have the Biggest Spender in the History of World that calls Press conferences and give briefings where he, wearing a straight face, portrays himself as a fiscal hawk that is reining in spending. Why can't the Media simply put out the truth - Obama and his regime know that he has a limited window before the truth about him gets out. While he is still living the glowing fake image, he needs to get in his programs to change the country inexorably. He will do or say whatever it takes because the agenda is everything. . |

. Infomercials and Scams - the Obama White House! Notice in this article the AP doesn't cover for Obama like they have for many, many months. Emotion, few details, in Obama's health care pitch Jul 1, 8:00 PM (ET) By PHILIP ELLIOTT and CHARLES BABINGTON ANNANDALE, Va. (AP) - President Barack Obama wanted to put a human face on his plans to overhaul health care, and a Virginia supporter did just that Wednesday. Fighting back tears, Debby Smith, 53, told Obama of her kidney cancer and her inability to obtain health insurance or hold a job. The president hugged her - she's a volunteer for his political operation - and called her "exhibit A" in an unsustainable system that is too expensive and complex for millions of Americans. "We are going to try to find ways to help you immediately," he told Smith as hundreds looked on at a community college forum - and countless others watched on television. But the nation's long-term needs require a greater emphasis on preventive care and "cost-effective care," he said. Smith, of Appalachia, Va., is a volunteer for Organizing for America, Obama's political operation within the Democratic National Committee. She obtained her ticket through the White House. The health care changes that Obama called for Wednesday would reshape the nation's medical landscape. He says he wants to cover nearly 50 million uninsured Americans, to persuade doctors to stress quality over quantity of care, to squeeze billions of dollars from spending. But details on exactly how to do those things were generally lacking in his hour-long town hall forum before a friendly, hand-picked audience in a Washington suburb. The lingering questions underscore the tough negotiations awaiting Congress, the administration and dozens of special interest groups in the coming months. Lawmakers will return to debating the issue when they return from a one-week recess on Monday. Some of Obama's questioners Wednesday were from friendly sources, including a member of the Service Employees International Union and a member of Health Care for America Now, which organized a Capitol Hill rally last week calling for an overhaul. White House aides selected other questions submitted by people on YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Republicans said the event was a political sham designed to help Obama, not to inform the public. "Americans are already skeptical about the cost and adverse impact of the president's health care plans," Republican National Committee spokesman Trevor Francis said. "Stacking the audience and preselecting questions may make for a good TV, but it's the wrong way to engage in a meaningful discussion about reforming health care." Obama made no new proposals at the sometimes emotional event. But he vigorously defended his plans while fielding seven questions from the live audience at the forum and on the Internet. The president would bar insurance companies from turning down applicants because of their "pre-existing conditions." He would establish health care exchanges that would spread the costs of treating patients such as Smith over a large number of people. Obama called for shifting huge sums of money from current health care spending to new goals. About two-thirds of the overall new costs "will come from reallocating money that is already being spent in the health care system but isn't being spent wisely," he said. He restated his pledge to cut $177 billion over the next decade from Medicare Advantage insurance plans. And he noted that doctors, hospitals, corporations and others have promised to decrease the annual rate of spending growth by 1.5 percent, or $2 trillion over 10 years. Such savings are not guaranteed, however, and many Republican lawmakers say Obama's plans will prove too costly. "The biggest thing we can do to hold down costs is to change the incentives of a health care system that automatically equates expensive care with better care," the president said. He said the formula system drives up costs "but doesn't make you better." Obama did not make specific recommendations for changing the incentive formulas. One questioner said limits on awards from medical malpractice lawsuits would bring down health care costs. Obama replied, "I don't like the idea of an artificial cap" on such awards for a patient's injuries. He also said there was little evidence that various states' efforts to limit such awards have uniformly brought down costs. Obama said, however, that he is working with the American Medical Association to explore ways to reduce liability for doctors and hospitals "when they've done nothing wrong." He offered no specifics for a problem that has vexed the medical and legal industries for decades. The president repeatedly said the current health care system is not acceptable and must be overhauled this year. He urged the audience, which included people following on Facebook and YouTube, to reject critics who say his plans are too costly or a step toward socialized medicine. Obama said a government-run "single-payer" health care system works well in some countries. But it is not appropriate in the United States, he said, because so many people get insurance through their employers working with private companies. Still, he again called for a government-run "public option" to compete with private insurers, a plan that many Republicans oppose. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20090702/D995VHDG0.html . |

. He says he's working with the AMA on Caps on liability limits - wanna bet he's using that as a carrot for their support - and after the support is delivered, the carrot gets tossed in the lake? Obama continually asks for trust - and he abuses it repeatedly. . |

Tonight Juan William filled in for O"Reilly. He had on asst White House Press Secretary Burton. Even Juan couldn't believe the spin. Burton said Cap and Trade wasn't a tax because the Govt is not taxing anybody. It's a job program to change the way we use energy. Juan said but businesses are going to have to raise prices for consumers because govt is mandating it. Burton still claimed it was businesses who were going to raise prices, not the governement, It was bizarre. Then he completely dodged the question about taxing health-care benefits. This Administration is filled with Liars Edited by Baldo, Jul 2 2009, 01:36 AM.

One of Obama's energy advisors was on Morning Joe and said at least three times that the Energy Reform Bill will create a tidalwave of jobs. Greta ran a story last night on Obama stating that the stimulus has worked. This morning unemployment numbers are a 9.5%. |

. I've posted this before, Bill Clinton did a local radio interview in Raleigh/Durham during the primaries and when asked about Global warming and Al Gore - Clinton said the key to Selling it would be to tie Global Warming legislation to jobs in the people's minds. The host essentially has skeptical that the Amercian people would ever go for it and that's how they got to that part of the conversation. Sounded like Bill C. thought he was off-air to tell the truth. I don't know if it was the small radio station or what, but Bill C. was extremely candid. |

If any of these people tell the truth, it's when the cameras aren't rolling or the mics are off. |

The MSM may be starting to catch on that many Americans are getting their news and information from other sources and that these Americans believe the MSM has lost credibility and do not listen to or believe them. Rush's comments of calling the MSM "state run media" may be starting to sink in. They now need to try to at least create the impression that they are doing their job. |

Rove just on Fox. Katherine Graham Weymouth had to have known about the "salon", since it was to be at her house in 2 weeks! Trying to say she didn't know is not believeable. |
