Obama Rallies the Troops and Money With DeMint’s “Waterloo”

Nothing funnier than sending out a fundraiser email that accuses the other side of being political.

barry, election is over! lead!! oh wait…you can’t! :((

When one is on the Battlefield for positive change, one cannot pause to worry and fret about “allegdely” sinking poll numbers…. that is a “trojan horse”, For One cannot worry about the Separated Self, when they have the People’s business to do!
In regards to the current debate, Healthcare costs are one of the culprits Directly related to our collapsing economic condition. We are drowning in this quicksand which calls for urgent and immediate address and attention. This time is Urgent, the time is Now!
It is hard to Change old habits of greed and selfish power to one of cooperation and a public good for all. Pres. Obama is going up against a Monster of Greed and Corruption that does not want to give up its power. This monster will Lie, Steal and Deceive. We the people must not allow this Monster of Corruption to continue to have its way, which will only continue to bankrupt the United States. We must stand firm with Pres. Obama who truly represents the Change the people need and have voted for.
If we in our own lives can do more than One thing at a time, so can Congress, and it is their duty and business to do so. If those in Congress want to continue to be a Do Nothing Congress, than we must elect leaders who can do Something for the whole of humanity and not just the separated self or special interest party.
Members of Congress have great insurance coverage, and a cushy salary. They do not live under the fear of unemployment and no insurance coverage. They are there to work on Behalf of the People, so they too, do not have to live in that fear… Yet, while in the care and leadership of the GOP, Congress has done a miserable job on taking care of the people and now the GOP want to obstruct the Democrats from putting into laws that which will benefit the people and grow the economy, not bankrupt it. But people are turning a deaf ear to the deceitful “Wizards of Oz” for they want us to continue to travel their yellow brick road of deception. We must become immune to their lies and vigilant to their deception if we are to make progress towards sanity again.
I call on those of goodwill to work, speak-up and Stand firm for Change and for transformation — towards a more just and equitable government for all.

Obama’s “Organizing for America” and MoveOn.org are ramping up their campaigns to curtail – what they say – are the same old Republican “scare tactics and outright lies to stall reform.”
=================
Dems control the House and the Senate. What does he care what Republicans say and think?
Oh, right…He wants Repbulicans on-board so that WHEN this is an epic failure (see, “stimulus” package), he can point to “bi-partisan support.
While not calling them out directly, this is also a shot at Dems who at this point do not support ObamaCare (and they will be targeted accordingly in ads).
There was a nice display of bi-partisanship over the weekend from (state) Governors in the form of non-support of ObamaCare due to the additional strains that will be placed on state budgets.

I reject Angellight’s call. Obamacare is a risky scheme that puts the nation in peril, and we can’t afford it.
Obama’s approval lower than Bush’s at the same stage. (UK Telegraph)
2012 Matchup: Obama 45%, Romney 45%. (Rasmussen, 2008′s most accurate)
Things are looking decidedly upbeat for lovers of individual liberty. Huzzay!

Sure, change the subject Ryan.
So leftists in Move On and Organizing for America where the Obama Prez campaign morphs into a ACORN clone are going to influence moderate independents and conservative Dems. NO, there’s going to be a backlash most likely. Bad tactics, Mr. Obama.
Hey DeMint just voted for Mr. Obama against the F-22. Who’s the partisan here??
——————
But OK Ryan
ROMNEY is running neck and neck with Obama 3 years out. I know Palin will come out clean AGAIN, this one’s really obvious. A legal defense fund is perfectly, well, legal.
Obama Care and Capn Trade are running out of steam. Stimulus is a joke. Our national security is jeopardized by these “deadlines” on Gitmo, Iraq and now Gates puts one on Afghanistan.
An administration of double-speed and double-talk is now doubling down for action before recess. Why???

“(Rasmussen, 2008′s most accurate)”
Sorry even Rasmussen had to pull that endorsement when someone pointed out to him the Prof has changed the numbers.
I think Rasmussen came in 3rd which is still pretty good.

Obama tracking lower than Carter. (USA Today/Gallup)

“Oh noes…he’s only in the mid to high 50′s”
Like Bush was…

And GOP has 4 point lead in generic vote. Maybe it is time for the left to rally the troops at least to circle the wagons!!!

Who really cares this far out what Obama’s polling numbers are against Republicans? A lot can change in 3 years. Just ask Bush.

%….Like Bush was….At what point in his, Bush, Presidency???

IMPEACH OBAMA

And John Kerry. ::grin::
Kerry’s my favorite. He still can’t decide if he’s a war hero or a baby killer. What ever did happen to his medals?

“Four polls now have Obama below 50% on health care: ABC?WaPo, CBS, Qunnipiac, USA Today/Gallup.”
And yet he still blows away the GOP on who the people trust to fix healthcare.

On page 879-880, the bill states that the Secretary of Health and Human Services:
“shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities … to operate a professional training program in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics, to provide financial assistance and traineeships and fellowships to those students, interns, residents or physicians who plan to work in or teach in the field of family medicine, general internal medicine, general pediatrics, or geriatrics.”
On page 881-882 the bill states:
“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following: …Training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds.”
On page 883 the bill states:
“The Secretary shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities … to operate or participate in an established primary care residency training program, which may include-(A) planning and developing curricula; (B) recruitment and training of residents; and (C) retention of faculty.”
On page 884-885 the bill states:
“In awarding grants and contracts… the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of training… individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds…”
On page 887-889 the bill states that the
“Secretary shall make grants to, or enter into contracts with, eligible entities… to operate a professional training program for oral health professionals, to provide financial assistance and traineeships and fellowships to those professionals who plan to work in or teach general, pediatric, or public health dentistry, or dental hygiene, to establish, maintain, or improve academic administrative units (including departments, divisions, or other appropriate units) in the specialties of general, pediatric, or public health dentistry, to operate a loan repayment program for full-time faculty in a program of general, pediatric, or public health dentistry.”
On page 889-890 the bill states:
“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following:… Training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds.”
On page 908-909 the bill states: “The Secretary shall award grants and contracts to eligible entities” to do the same things for the field of public health as the Secretary can do for dentistry.
On page 909 the bill states:
“In awarding grants or contracts under this section, the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of the following: …Training individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds.”

Rasmussen ranked first in accuracy in the 2008 election. Diageo (which polls registered voters, not likely voters) was fifth. Quinnipiac was not ranked.
Obama’s problem with his risky health care scheme is not Republicans, it’s Democrats. The courageous ones among them refuse to endorse his repeated falsehoods about the effects of the House plans.

AMERICA’S NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY!
It’s official. America and the World are now in a GLOBAL PANDEMIC. A World EPIDEMIC with potential catastrophic consequences for ALL of the American people. The first PANDEMIC in 41 years. And WE THE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES will have to face this PANDEMIC with the 37th worst quality of healthcare in the developed World.
STAND READY AMERICA TO SEIZE CONTROL OF YOUR NATIONAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.
We spend over twice as much of our GDP on healthcare as any other country in the World. And Individual American spend about ten times as much out of pocket on healthcare as any other people in the World. All because of GREED! And the PRIVATE FOR PROFIT healthcare system in America.
And while all this is going on, some members of congress seem mostly concern about how to protect the corporate PROFITS! of our GREED DRIVEN, PRIVATE FOR PROFIT NATIONAL DISGRACE. A PRIVATE FOR PROFIT DISGRACE that is in fact, totally valueless to the public health. And a detriment to national security, public safety, and the public health.
Progressive democrats the Tri-Caucus and others should stand firm in their demand for a robust government-run public option for all Americans, with all of the minimum requirements progressive democrats demanded. If congress can not pass a robust public option with at least 51 votes and all robust minimum requirements, congress should immediately move to scrap healthcare reform and request that President Obama declare a state of NATIONAL HEALTHCARE EMERGENCY! Seizing and replacing all PRIVATE FOR PROFIT health insurance plans with the immediate implementation of National Healthcare for all Americans under the provisions of HR676 (A Single-payer National Healthcare Plan For All).
Coverage can begin immediately through our current medicare system. With immediate expansion through recruitment of displaced workers from the canceled private sector insurance industry. Funding can also begin immediately by substitution of payroll deductions for private insurance plans with payroll deductions for the national healthcare plan. This is what the vast majority of the American people want. And this is what all objective experts unanimously agree would be the best, and most cost effective for the American people and our economy.
In Mexico on average people who received medical care for A-H1N1 (Swine Flu) with in 3 days survived. People who did not receive medical care until 7 days or more died. This has been the same results in the US. But 50 million Americans don’t even have any healthcare coverage. And at least 200 million of you with insurance could not get in to see your private insurance plans doctors in 2 or 3 days, even if your life depended on it. WHICH IT DOES!
If President Obama has to declare a NATIONAL STATE OF EMERGENCY to rescue the American people from our healthcare crisis, he will need all the sustained support you can give him. STICK WITH HIM! He’s doing a brilliant job.
THIS IS THE BIG ONE!
THE BATTLE OF GOOD Vs EVIL!
Join the fight.
Contact congress and your representatives NOW! AND SPREAD THE WORD!
God Bless You

“Rasmussen ranked first in accuracy in the 2008 election”
Nope.
Ramsussen used to link to a paper supposedly proving that Rasmussen was the top polling outfit in 2008.
But thanks to people like myself who LOUDLY called out this analysis as fraudulent, he has pulled it.
The guy who wrote the paper had to round up McCain’s total (45.6%) and round down Obama’s (52.9%) to make Rasmussen the most accurate pollster.

Ipso/McClatchy had it 53-46 as did CNN/Opinion Research.
Pew and Rasmussen had it at 52-46.

Jim DeMint: Dem folk hero and stupidest man in the GOP – this week.

If the health care plan isn’t good enough for Congress and President Obama, it isn’t good enough for me. Period.

A statistic, Mr. View. A statistic. As Obama has said, sacrifices must be made, lot of sacrifices. Just not by him or the Missus. She does love those shoes and handbags.

On page 884-885 the bill states:
“In awarding grants and contracts… the Secretary shall give preference to entities that have a demonstrated record of training… individuals who are from underrepresented minority groups or disadvantaged backgrounds…”
What is this all about??? It isn’t a surprise…

What I’m proud of is that I don’t make up lies about my health when commenting on a website. I’m also proud that babies could travel to the US get treated here:
Worst System EVER…

Get tort reform and you will lower health care costs. Problem is most politicians of either stripe do not want to touch this. Obama made it clear he wouldn’t consider tort reform and he dodged the question when asked if he and his family would take the public option. Not good enough for him, not good enough for me.

Posted by: danita | Jul 21, 2009 6:42:21 PM
But they chose to come here, non?

What a joy to see the humbling of an arrogant President and an equally arrogant administration. Poor Barry is trying to blame his health care failure on the Republicans when everyone knows it’s his own party, the Blue Dog Democrats who has clipped his wings. And on the closing of Gitmo, more humiliation for the arrogant clown in the White House. He will end up doing what Bush has set in motion but he will call it by a different name. He thinks the people of this country are stupid and won’t know the difference. Poor Barry!

Can you see it?
“OBAMA LIED AND GRANDMA DIED”

“By the way, where is Waterloo? ”
It’s the old name for Chicago.

That’s appropriate.
That’s where the United States lost.

I was just kidding. I know where Waterloo is. (Alaska, right?)
I’m just laughing at the assumption that DeMint’s “Waterloo” comment will be widely understood as incendiary by the people Obama’s trying to fire up. Or, for that matter, that Jim DeMint is a devil-man in anyone’s eyes other than maybe a few Dems in his home state.
This is an exercise in nostalgia for David Axelrod and Mitch Stewart. It was a lot easier, however, when you could bash pots and pans and scream “Bush!” “Cheney!” “McCain!” “Palin!”
Jim DeMint? I follow politics pretty closely and I couldn’t pick him out in a police lineup. I don’t think he’s waterboarded anyone recently, and I’m sure you can’t see Russia from his house.

Fear for your lives because we are in EMERGENCY and CRISIS like the world has never seen before! Act now!! Question later!

This is such a huge emergency that 0bama hasn’t even taken the time to read what this bill is even about.
On a conference call, LAST EVENING, he states “The time for talk is through”. Then, DURING THE SAME CALL, he’s asked about the bill’s call for outlawing private insurance. His response: “You know, I have to say that I am not familiar with the provision you are talking about.”
There you have it. 0bama stating that the need to debate is over, yet he can’t back up his continual deception of “If you like your present health care plan you can keep it, period.”
This shows, just like the stimulus plan, that there has been absolutely no thoughtful analysis on what the consequences will be if this rushed disaster passes. Zero.

There is going to be a bloodbath next year in the mid year elections. It’s about the economy stupid, the democtats have over reached and there will be hell to pay.

This is the reason that 0bama’s main obstacles are not Republicans but rather the “Blue Dog Democrats”. He tries deflecting by demonizing DeMint but make no mistake he has HUGE problems with moderate Dems.
They’re getting increasingly nervous that they might get caught going down with the sinking SS0bama.

“It’s about the economy stupid”
___________________________
This news out of Georgia . ..
“Real estate agents say there is good news in the economy right now. Home sales are on the rise. And they give the President’s and Governor’s stimulus programs . . . the credit.
“Real estate agent Patsy Martin sold 13 homes in June. “I had more closings in June than in any single month in my seven year career in real estate. So I think that’s a good indicator that things are moving positively.”
“Martin says the stimulus plan is working in South Georgia.
“They’ve broken ground on several new sites out here just within the last month or two, so . .. we have made a good investment.
“And that is good news for the economy, as home builders put people back to work . . .”

This news out of Georgia
Good for Georgia, I’ll bet it’s not the entire state and there are 49 other states where the picture is less rosy.
This is the third big peice of legislation that the polls have said the people do not want and the democraps are going to shove it down our thoarts anyway. We call, write and even protest our reps and they are only interested in their ideology not what we the people want. Enough.

Bush is long gone. This is Obama’s economy and the ine question in 2010 when unemployment is over 10% is gonna be how is that change working out for you?

Obama’s Rules for Radicals manual is in full play.
God love Jim DeMint. He’s Leonidas but when he looks back, there’s only a few Spartans with him. Coburn. Inhofe, and a few others.
Notice how DeMint spoke up and Obama struck back. Imagine the debates that might take place if more Senators raised some heck like DeMint.

Even of it is on the mend do you really think we are going to forget that our representatives were more interested in the party then their people’s best interests

By November of 2010, if we all work toward it, we should see things progressing toward a healthier, recovering economy.
I agree. The Democrats should lose plenty of seats in the House and Senate.

Call your Representatives. Tell them you demand they read the bill and explain it, clearly, to their constituents. Demand it is put on line for a minimum of 1 week for the public to read. This is your life we’re talking about here. Are you willing to turn over life and death decisions to the government without them even knowing what is in the legistlation on which they’re voting? This must not be rushed! Let your Representative know they have your support in slowing this down and tell them not to be bullied by these Chicago thugs.

Dems control the House and the Senate. What does he care what Republicans say and think?
Oh, right…He wants Republicans on-board so that WHEN this is an epic failure (see, “stimulus” package), he can point to “bi-partisan support.”

___________________________________
Exactly and bears repeating. I’ve said this at least once myself. No response from the KoolAid drinkers on THAT one.

“It’s about the economy stupid,” Yep. You guys tried to put it in the toilet and the democrats have pulled it out. We won’t forget.
Get over yourself. Nothing has changed.

Is this REALLY a news story? It reads like a paid advertisment for Obama by “Organizing for America.” If it were done by a journalist, it would have mentioned “Our Country Deserves Better,” and the rest of the opposition to the bill. Please wake up ABC. Start reporting the truth PLEASE!

Danita, you need to read the Atlanta Journal Constitution online, if you want to have a better sense of the economy in Georgia. They have 10% unemployment, the most bank closings of any state this year, and the governor just announced another 5% across the board budget cut for the state government, complete with mandatory furloughs for government workers including those who work for universities. While it is not the disaster that, say, Michigan is, Georgia is not a stimulus-inspired economic powerhouse, either. One news story does not a full-blown recovery make.

Already made my donation. Time to kick some health care.

Obama tries to rally the troops and the growlin’ Blue Dogs say, not so fast… It’s not the Republicans, its your own party who is not behind you Mr. President.
On health care, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

In Waterloo Blucher saved the day for Wellington and Marshall Ney came in late for Napoleon.
Republicans may well be led by a latter day Napoleon – Jim DeMint may have misjudged the needs of the American working class.
The huge wealth transfer to the top 5% of USA has left us broke, without jobs and without health and security safety net. Bush was the Louis XIV of USA – make the rich richer, deplete the middle class and poor much more poor. Why not tax the preferred classes of the past – Wall Street greed merchants, Right Wing warhawks, and the offshore tax haven rich corporate America.
Now the chickens have come home to roost – 10% unemployment, 40 million un insured, 6 million home foreclosures, crumbling infrastructure, and 15 big states with huge budget deficits, two unfinished wars and a bankrupt industrial base. This is the legacy of Bush’s compassionate Republican conservatism.
Mo Ahmed

This rushing is so revealing — only a total fool rushes something like health care reform. The issue needs to be discussed further. I hope and pray that the Congress will not pass Obama’s boondoggle bill.
It is morally wrong to pass such legislation this quickly.
And this “I want it..” nonsense from Obama — who does he think he is? He’s not the dictator of the country. He’s not a king. He’s one of the three branches of government. This “entitlement” mentality of Obama was always repulsive, but it is getting more and more vindictive and ruthless.

“June marked the third straight month that economic indicators rose more than expected. More plans to build homes, fewer pink slips being handed out and higher stock prices sent the New-York based Conference Board’s index of leading economic indicators up 0.7% last month beating analysts’ expectations of a 0.4% increase. Of the 10 economic indicators that the index tracks, seven gained ground in June with the interest rate spread leading the pack.”

And now for the rest of the story:
Indiana – Some positive economic signs, but Hoosiers still struggling
The improvements, though significant, are not yet big enough to be noticed by those desperate for relief.
“Even McDonald’s isn’t hiring. You can’t even flip burgers,” said Jennifer Korynas.
Many economists believe that even as the economy begins to improve, unemployment will continue to rise.

Who is Obama fighting against? Obama and ther Dems control both houses and can pass whatever bill they want.

Excuse me America but we have become a nation of “instant gratification.” That is how we got here in the first place. Everyone wanted things they could not afford. This economy did not go down the tubes in six months but in the last several years. It will not rebound in 6 months or maybe even two years but it is on the road to recovery. Slow but improving. The jobs will be the last to recover, infortunately, because many will never come back. There are many programs out there for people to re-educate and re-train themselves for jobs of the future. It is time we spent our efforts in learning what they are and how to get them. This is what the stimulus is providing us with and many other programs which will help us become self sufficient. In my state, new housing us up 9% in the last two months and we just received our stimulus money. Housing sales of homes already built are up 6%. There are signs but we will not be back to where we should be for a long time and people need to understand this. Anyone who has been through a recession knows this but to expect everything to turn around in 6 months is foolish. Of course, you can listen to the naysayers, there are many out there but I think you should listen to the people who know what they are talking about not the ones who want our president to fail That to me is not very American. We are in this together, Republicans, Democrats, and Independents and we need to realize that we need to pull together not apart.

===That Waterloo comment rallied me.===
Rallied me too. Made a few donations myself. Not to the president, though.

The next sound you hear Barry is the sound of the rats jumping ship.
Your ship is sinking, bub!!

“You antiObama types on here are hilarious. Post one story about how real estate brokers say the Recovery and Reinvestment plan has the home market picking up in Georgia and you leap out of your own rear ends and trip over your own feet trying to prove those real estate brokers wrong.
Try researching why that market has picked up in Georgia. It’s something that is in the Recovery and Reinvestment plan – take a look for it and report back.”
Danita – I am a homeowner in Georgia. Trust me, it’s not happening here. There is a glut of residential inventory and prices are – with exception of a few specific areas – not rising. Foreclosures are increasing.
Great time to buy a home though.
BTW – I have seen zero effect of ARRA aka “stimulus” in GA (I’m sure there are some “investments” that have been made in GA, but not seeing it). Unemployment here is above 10%.
But keep defending The One by all means…it’s entertaining.

Do you have a job????? Hopefully your boss is rich and can afford to give you a JOB.But keep it up bashing one segment of americans who work hard and save so they can be rich too. Think first before you type, Pres. Obama has increased our natl. debt by more then ALL former Pres. combined and has NOTHING to show for it.

Demint was wrong!
Obama’s pathetic response to the
economic crisis, the failed Stimulus
Bill will be his waterloo and no
political spin from the Dems and their
Media Buddies will save him from that!

Demint is Wrong.
The president’s pathetic response to
the economic crisis, the failed
Stimulus Bill, will be his Waterloo!

How wonderful that there are still some democrats left with some common sense that will not allow this healthcare mess to pass! The healthcare pitch Obama gave last night was like a bad used car salesman. All fluff, no real details. I should give him credit though, it IS hard to pitch something you haven’t even seen or read yet with such passion. Sounded almost like the stimulus pitch only with a few sad stories intertwined. We can all see how much the stimulus cost and how well it has not worked.
I think finally Americans are looking past the glimmer of Obama and actually hearing the empty words of a candidate and not actually a leader. I guess socialism will have to wait for America and I must say I am glad. You can only fool 1/2 of America for a period of time then even they say the honeymoon is over.
