Coming Up on ‘This Week’: Napolitano, Gibbs and McConnell

FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE USA. PLEASE ASK THE QUESTIONS THE MSM AVOIDS!

Good luck! (Jake, when will you know if you get the show? I read somewhere that you’re a strong contender for the position.)

Don’t expect much more than a bunch
of “ums” sprinkled with the usual
snide remarks from Gibbs. What a dolt.

For either Gibbs or the roundtable:
Did Obama foresee the problems he would have in closing Gitmo?
If not, why not?
If so, why did he campaign on and sign an order declaring it would be closed in one year?
Is it a good idea to continue his closing Gitmo as a triumph of America under Obama?
Does it help him understand the difficulties George Bush also went through as President?

Ask Gibbs about Obama’s promise not to sign any bills that had earmarks, since the Health Care legislation is loaded with special favors. I am sure he will tap dance around it — and come up with usual bluster and to try and change the subject — and begin with the “The real issue is…” and never answer the question. Don’t let him get away with it.
And what about the promise to be transparent — and no back room deals — it would all be available for the American public to see on CSPAN.

“This Sunday I’ll be subbing for George on “This Week.” I hope you’ll join me as we chat with the White House’s top spokesman on the President’s first year … and his agenda for 2010.”
I’m confused: So you’ll be chatting with a teleprompter? Bill Ayers? Chairman Mao? Chris Matthews? That guy on Saturday Night Live?

Dear Comrade Gibbs: Not that you probably pay any attention to this, but please show us in the Constitution where the federal government has the authority to tell me I have to (under penalty of a fine or even jail sentence) purchase one of your great insurance plans.
.
Also please comment on the provision that Comrade Harry Reid has placed into the Senate health care legislation where there can be no reconsideration of the health care bill in the future. Any such attempts would be deemed “out of order”. Please tell us how this provision seeks to maintain a “limited” federal government.

Let’s add to you list that this legislation subvertly institutes price controls on insurance companies, denying them the opportunity “make a fair profit” as legislated in the treatment of regulated utilities (goal is to squeeze out/bankrupt insurance companies – at least the ‘non-chosen’ who do not have WH/Congressional connections – at which point policy holders will be forced into ‘public exchange’. Believe it, folks – this legislation is the precursor to a public option/socialized medicine/govt. controlled medicine.

Good Luck Jake…and please, please don’t allow this thuggish administration bend your integrity. You have been a balanced reporter through this past year and if you just stick to your impartial reporting and maintain your ethics, you will be wildly sucessful in your life and most important, you will be able to look your children in their eyes and know that theirDaddy did a good job, they will be proud of you.
Listen to your inner voice and ask the tough questions…that is the medias job…do it for the rest of the MSM that slacks off. God Speed Jake.

Jake,I never watch the show but I’ll tune in to see if you play it straight or more of the same media in the tank routine.Good luck.

Somebody has got to get the message to these idiots that we do not want rationed, socialized, government run medical. It is unconstitutional to try to make us participate in it.

Can Napalitano stop making excuses? Gibbs needs to stop also. The ball was dropped, we had the intel on this terrorist and some useless beaurecrat cant figure out what to do with it.

Thanks Jake for keeping some pressure on these guys from the White House. Janet was a total tape recorder and barely acknowledged that we almost lost 300 people to an easy security catch. She kept parroting that the system “worked” after the incident. LOL. A lot of good that does! The only thing that “worked” was the failure of the detonator. Whatever watchlist he was on should have red lighted the need for increased security. It’s computerized right?

Who cares how many people are on the watch list. If I make a funny move on my credit card, I get a call. Can you imagine how many names are on that list that they track activity on?

First, I would like to congratulate Mr. Tapper on a fine effort. You were equally tough on Mitch McConnell and Robert Gibbs, which makes for a truly informative program. Second, it is a shame that people posting on this page continue to cloak themselves in partisan attacks and misinformation. Healthcare reform is favored by most people. A significant number of people who have voiced displeasure with the legislation have done so because the reform does not go far enough. Republicans, and their allies in the moderate Democratic caucus have successfully engineered the almost complete evisceration of the bill and now crow that the bill will be largely ineffective in controlling costs. It is interesting to note that for all those who accuse the Administration of socialism, a claim we have heard before when any progressive legislation has been proposed, like social security and medicare, their rhetoric sounds strikingly similar to the fascists who have always been the enemy of the rights and welfare of everyday people.

Excellent show Jake.
Gibbs and Nepolatano are a couple of liars and it was irritating to watch them completly avoid answering your straight forward questions…but at least you asked them
Well Done..
