President Obama Jokes: I Guess We’ll Be Considered Smart Again for Another Four Weeks

Uh — you were never considered smart, dude — or is that dud?

I just heard the Dixie Chics song “I’m not ready to make nice” and thought how ironic it would be to play it for such an occassion.

and so, the ‘smart’ factor lasts just 4 wks???? what a bill America was sold, bought, connived, pulled, stretched….may we find a way to recover from the O’s vanity in LESS than 4 wks… just sayin…

so PO’d….ru saying it was in opposition to the bill? then whodunnit! there’s bad on each side of the fence, but not outtathebox for those who want ‘this’ to thwart the efforts of those ‘who don’t’ by staging a ‘look, see’….just sayin

The president’s comment assumes that
drinkers thought they
were smart to begin with!
This is by far the most clueless,
tone-deaf administration I have seen!
Even Bill Clinton knew better than to
go against the will of the people!
Well, Mr President, we’ll see how
smart you look after the elections in
November!
If I were you I would turn off the
TV early and try to figure out how
you are going to work with the new
Republican Majority in both houses.

The president’s comment assumes

FREEDOM belongs to every citizen – sorry, the exclusive rights to freedom do NOT belong to the Republicans – much as they try to claim that.

I will remind you of the obvious…
- the ‘will of the people’ (white people) once allowed slavery
one of the more over used cliches, the ‘right’ uses nowadays

ru saying it was in opposition to the bill?

well, when local ABC reports that death threats are made against the children of those who support HCR, It’s not that far a reach to imagine that the folks who made the threats didn’t support the bill… and the brick with Goldwater’s words, speaks for itself….
you imply that it might be a setup by the ‘left,
that’s a bit of a reach, considering that the Dems won on the issue and it was signed into law by the president.
interesting that breaking windows of political opponents, and death threats were the methods of choice…..
check out ‘Kristallnacht’ in pre-WW2 Germany,
not exactly the same…. but you might find it illuminating

In order for me to take your comments seriously I have to know what you know.
You say there are ’2 many’ deals in the bill – how many deals and which ones do you think will be in the final bill?

PO’d…sorry my friend, my point was could go one way or the other, wasn’t there, not a witness, but tired of ‘blame’ on folks who have vehemently opposed this bill…you chose sides, I haven’t…yet we’re all ‘alike’ in your mind. Main point is there is dissention on this reform by a majority of the Americans that are 2 foot the bill…if they dissent, what is the win/win here?? no effort was made 2 cut the cost, just add burden to an already laden system w/debt as far as we can see….no opposition to covering those w/nothing, nor pre-existing, but all of this costs $$’s??!! & where is it going to come from? China?? We are deluding ourselves if we think we can just ‘reform’ & the $$ will come….pot ‘o gold? under the rainbow? plsssssssss!!!!! & don’t worry ’bout ‘illuminating’ me ok? rather insulting….

shucks, thought no one ’round here believed in polls anymore ;) but if you thought it was ‘free’ would you not say ‘yes!’ all inclusive, whatever you want? yeah, sign me up!! except I don’t want to take other people’s $$ to have that….I’d rather have liberty & freedom & pay my own damn way!

props to prog mom . ..

It’s so humorous to see Obama’s long-suffering expression when Biden busts out with his dorky, ungraceful comments. Biden is like the well-meaning but uncouth Dad who is always embarrassing his smoother, cooler son. :)

The Democrats are trying to impose the Master and Servant relationship onto the American people.

“To an aide today, reflecting on his legislative victory with health care reform legislation, he quipped: “I guess we’ll be considered smart again for at least another four weeks.”" – ABC News
Ha ha ha ha!
Man is this boy out of touch!
Maybe a minority will consider him smart but the majority of the Country is thinking what a dummy we elected to office.

Obama: “I guess we’ll be considered smart again for at least another four weeks” . . . “Don’t do it for me”.
Like Obama, Emperor Nero also was obsessed with himself. Nero like Obama, lived by the mantra of ‘manipulate the mob and you control the empire’. Like Obama, Nero was obsessed with being popular. Moreover, Emperor Nero, was carried away by a craze for popularity and was jealous of anybody (e.g Palin) who stirred the feelings of the mob.
Another Roman Emperor Gaius or Caligula, like Obama, was an inexperienced young man thrust into a position of unlimited power, the true nature of which had been carefully disguised – in Obama’s case by the media.
All 3 of these rulers have something in common, an egotistical pursuit of self aggrandizement. If ruling by an obsession with control and vanity did not fare well for the Roman Empire, then how will the result be any different for America?

Another massive entitlement program. When America has no jobs. When China owns us. When many states are broke, and America is almost bankrupt.
Obama thinks that is smart?

Why is THE MOST transparent president ever hiding behind closed doors to sign his executive order today?
Is THE MOST pro-abortion president ever afraid pictures of the signing will rain on his parade?
Where’s that courage Obama was bragging about a few days ago?

So which politicians do you consider “smart” so we have an idea of whether your partisan and anti-book-smart opinion has any sway or merit to those with a broader outlook?
The teleprompter thing is getting old as many of his best moments come when he’s off the teleprompter (speech at George Mason last week, meetings with Republicans shown on CSPAN.)
LOL.

Hey America, bend over and grab your ankles because Obama and the Dems are about to give it to you good with this bill. Obama starts his political career in the living room of a radical leftist domestic terrorist in Billy Ayers. He sits in the church of a black bigot for 20 years and says he didn’t realize the man was a bigot. Come on people wake up!!!!!

I would like to hear some mainstream news reporter with the guts to ask Pelosi, Reid or any of these Democrat corrupt politicians WHY ARE THEY EXEMPT? Where in the Constitution does it say that Congress can exempt themselves? Even their STAFFERS and their families are EXEMPT. WHY???? Well, I know why: because this bill is a piece of crap, but I want to hear their reasons why they are exempt. Am I angry? Oh, yeah, and it’s not going away.

My question was ” perhaps you can explain McAllen Texas then… or why Republicans won’t negotiate on both tort reform and the larger issues of medical errors and patient safety so that all are simultaneously addressed (you may want to read pieces by Atul Gawande– one specifically on McAllen Texas, but others on health care reform as well).”
You didn’t respond to that. You reverted to namecalling and sour grapes.

A bullying, teleprompter-reading Marxist who managed to ram through this health care monstrosity using deception, threats, bribery, and control of the mainstream media, yes.
Smart, no.

Smart? How about HUBRIS! If Obama thinks because of the corruption, backroom deals, thug-style politics that this egregious bill passed that he is “smart” he has a huge surprise in store! Americans are angry and disgusted with this entire Congressional and DEM administration policies and procedures. Since they have chosen to turn a deaf ear to voters and constituents, I guess we will have our say in November! Obama is a hubris, corrupt and evil individual. He needs to be impeached.

Posted by: fran | Mar 24, 2010 10:03:26 AM
How EXACTLY are they exempt? Can you cite the exemption?
Can you refute the post at 9:59:33 AM?
No?
What a shocker/sarc.

why don’t you do your own research?

Still no information… what specifically has Texas gained from tort reform. List the advantages and disadvantages if you can… lol.
(p.s. it was me, not Cara C. who asked if you could back up your claims. Unwilling or unable? )

I’m proud to be progressive and to represent for progress and the liberal ideals this great country was founded on.
As for education, this pretty much says it all: “Texas Board of Education cuts Thomas Jefferson out of its textbooks.”
LOL.

PM – you can do your own research; I gave you a perfect example of the benefits of Tort reform vs. no Tort reform, if you’re too thick to get it, not my problem – I’m done with this biased site – posts are deleted when the liberal line is not toed exactly as the MSM goose-steppers mandate.

progressive mama, if you want anyone to believe your posts, then don’t think things out of context and post them as the truth. The Texas Board of Education did NOT cut Thomas Jefferson from textbooks. His writings on revolution were deleted from a list of approved reading. Get the facts straight and present them in a straight forward manner without your arrogant, condescending attitude and there may be someone who takes you seriously (thought I doubt it). You impress no one but yourself. But, hey, if that works for you, go for it!

Except you didn’t. LOL. someone else appears to have stepped up with data.
As for leaving– at least in the comments JoeM chose to only call out me while defending you. I’m sure that wasn’t partisan or anything.

Nothing partisan about my comment at all, progessive mama — I didn’t vote for Bush or Obama. I vote Libertarian. I fail to see the need for your condescending attitude in trying to get your point across, unless your point isn’t valid? Stick with facts, don’t spin, don’t take things out of context. If you have a valid point, that should be enough. IF. Big word, IF…

And your last post makes ME laugh, progressive mama! Bye!

How you feel is your problem. What you think I ought to do is your problem. It has nothing to do with me.
Move on.

A new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll taken on Monday, a day after healthcare reform passed through the House, shows an increase of Americans now viewing the bill positively . . . more Americans are coming around and closing their ears to the Republican apocalyptic hysteria over the healthcare bill.

A commenter linked to an opinion piece at The Federalist to provide evidence on the effectiveness tort reform in Texas. While there are numbers in it, it doesn’t link to the studies it cites and the numbers appear old.
I’m more persuaded by current news. For example, PBS ran an article called “Economists find mixed results on tort reform”:
A study by Michael Morrisey, a health care economist at the University of Alabama-Birmingham, found that in states with damage caps, medical practitioners paid up to 25 percent less for their malpractice insurance premiums.
Texas passed a medical liability law in 2004. Tom Royer, a physician and the CEO of CHRISTUS Health, a non-profit hospital system headquartered in Texas, says that before caps were put in place, the system’s medical malpractice costs had hit nearly $100 million per year. This year, its malpractice costs were $2.8 million.
“For us the savings have been remarkable,” Royer says.
But, according to Morrisey, those lower costs don’t necessarily get passed on to consumers. He found no difference in consumers’ employer-sponsored health insurance premiums between states with damage caps and those without.
“Try as we might we couldn’t find any effects,” he says.
Do you get that– there’s no evidence that savings have been passed on to the consumer.
Interestingly, in 2006, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama worked on legislation to address frivolous lawsuits,patient safety and so on. You can read their article at NEJM. Also, the president was open to negotiating on it. The Republicans didn’t accept the extended hand.
Regardless, tort reform continues to be explored as do other measures designed to bend the cost curve (via pilot programs in the legislation that was just signed.)
I highly recommend reading Atul Gawande. He is a highly acclaimed medical writer (and physician).

I’m still entitled to my opinions.
_____
Of course, as I’m entitled to mine. And I think hypocrites in that regard aren’t exactly who I’d take advice from.

” liberal used to mean in favor of individual liberty and now, since being co-opted by the left, means opposed to individual liberty.”

LOL. I agree with Josh Marshall from TPM
” I don’t doubt this is going to be a rough election for the Dems….But it’s time for Republicans to stop saying how bad it’s going to be and just go out and do it.
Make the arguments on substance. …You can’t be so transparently cynical with your riffs that they don’t even make sense on their own terms. They need to run on repeal. So, enough. The terms of the 2010 election are set. Stop puffing and threatening, shut up and bring it on.”
Meanwhile, the latest Gallup poll and the actual facts when it comes to the legislation dispute your post (and the highly incredible Rich Lowry. LOL. )

Good Morning!
Well, it’s another beautiful day here in the United States of America! Yesterday, watching the President sign the Health Care Bill into law and listening to the Vice President gloating and cursing on camera, I threw off the shackles of capitalism and joined the progressives in their march to Utopia! I may even start cursing again!
Then I got out the old calculator and figured out that I can rake in plenty of entitlements from the government! Unemployment, retirement, Medicare, housing subsidies, insurance subsidies. It’s all right there in front of me! We’ve worked hard since we were old enough to work and “dang it!” we deserve what’s coming to us! Let the youngsters make up the difference!
So I think I’ll take all our savings, settle up with Uncle Sam, buy some gold and throw it in the safe! Who needs all that hassle of accounting for savings. If I need any cash, I’ll just sell an ounce of gold. And it helps with the entitlements if you can hide your assets!
And now with the advantages of progressive health care, I’m sure we’ll be able to work the system and get some help there too. When does that stuff kick in, anyway? Soon I hope. I’ve got pre-conditions that need to be overcome. Now are they gonna raise my rates cause of them pre-conditions or doe the President control that? I hope so. Well, at my new income level, there will probably be some subsidy there.
Plus I’ll still get enough itemized deductions to get refunds every year. Sure, I still have a mortgage and I’m underwater, but with my new meager income, there are plenty of solutions and the mortgage interest is still deductible.
It’s great to be free from all that hassle! And I have President Obama and all of you progressives here to thank for it! This whole ‘Bush ruined us/Obama will take care of us’ discussion has opened my eyes! I’m a born-again progressive!
Flame on!

Thanks for showing me the light! Where do I sign up?
Posted by: tjp612 | Mar 24, 2010 11:52:33 AM
That’s the great part! You don’t have to sign up! Just throw off the shackles and enjoy what you’ve got coming to you! I mean you may have to work the system a little but everybody does it right? Nothing illegal though. Just start doing your homework!
For example, I was going to pay off my mortgage when I retired. Used to be burning the mortgage and retiring came hand in hand. badge of honor and all. But now I’ve decided to just keep paying my mortgage so I can keep getting the tax deduction. It’s about 40% underwater and I’ll never live to see it paid off anyway. So when we “cross the river” the bank can have it back. We won’t be needing it anymore!

PO’d try learning your facts before
you post!
I grew up during the 1950′s and 1960′s
and it was the Southern Democrats
who held blacks back and denied them
equal rights.
Do the names George Wallace or
Lestor Maddox ring a bell?
The 1964 Civil Rights act was passed
due to Republican Party support and
many Democrats voted against it!
By the way did you know that one of
your heroes,Senator Robert C Byrd of
West Virginia is a former member of
the KKK? How do you lose that hate?
President Obama has not said one word
about Byrd’s racist past since he was
elected!
I guess it’s ok to be a racist if
your a Democrat!
Furthermore did you know that Lincoln
was a Republican?

Hallelujia! I’m cashing in my 401k and spend spend spend – I’ve got a few years before retirement, and I’d like to enjoy my money before it gets taxed away. I will let the much more intelligent young people who had the good sense to support Obama and his socialist policies support me in my elder years. No sense in leaving anything for the kids or grandkids, the government will tax it at 55% anyway. Oh, yes, it’s a brand new world, in which I no longer have to take responsibility for myself or anyone else – that is what our wonderful government is for.

Hallelujia!

See now you’re thinking!
Convert your 401K to precious metals, settle up with Uncle Sam at the currently low rate and give your heirs gold bars instead! Or buy them all new cars or something! Make sure they are GM vehicles though so Obama gets the credit!
Become a progressive! You won’t regret it!

Does anyone knows what is it being a little sick or very sick and left alone
without medical help?
That happens in a country that is considered a first world power and shows to be one.
Have a little faith in changes that may be historically necessary to not show
a picture similar to India where people die on the street.
My concern is what should still be done to make sure that the money and the change really serve the purpose of making a more shining America…

On Saturday March 20, 2010 we were US citizens. As of Sunday March 21, 2010, we are now subjects.
All Hail Obama!
All Hail the State!
Pacifists enjoy all the privileges of a civilized sociey yet bear none of the responsibilities.

The fact is that Obama, Pelosi, Reid, et al, the entire gang that is working hard (they aren’t near done yet) to shift our nation from a republican democracy with a capitalist economy to a democratic dictatorship with government control over most major aspects of the economy, have nothing to worry about.
They are and/or will be very rich and very comfortable for the rest of their lives regardless of the consequences of their actions over the past year or so and those actions yet to come.
That is wrong. Everyone in our society that has undue control over our lives are held to high standards (doctors, police, others… even lawyers) and can and often are held personally responsible for willful misconduct, negligence and incompetence.
Politicians inarguable control far more of our lives in total and yet are not held responsible (beyond voting) for their actions.
In our society, as we’ve seen more than aptly demonstrated, politicians have created a system where they are actually rewarded for willful misconduct, negligence and incompetence.

“not only that, based on they way they stomped on civil liberties and intrude in personal lives, I don’t think some of them even understand the concept. Instead they throw up red herrings. LOL.”
Try explaining civil liberties, freedom and privacy to Americans as you fine and jail them for not buying mandatory “free” healthcare. There’s 16,000 new IRS agents in the healthcare bill that are just as bad as the death panels.

Well, hey! Progressive it is!
I am retiring early to lower my income level, so that I don’t have to pay taxes. I also will then qualify for food stamps, free cell phone and free transit in my state, Minnesota. Sweet! It’s my turn to leech off all the earnings I’ve paid in for the past 30 years.
I will be moving in with my parents, where we can combine our home-buying power, yet show low income tax levels separately, thus paying no or low taxes.
We all have guns, too.
I wonder what this out of control government will do when people like me cut say back and happily hunker down, and they lose our tax dollars in their coffers? How will they reward the “rightful owners of this country”, then?
By the way, who the hell are the rightful owners??? My ancestors have been here since the 1600′s. But, I guess that because I’m white, I’m not a rightful owner, correct?
Wow, just wow.

“By the way, who the hell are the rightful owners??? My ancestors have been here since the 1600′s. But, I guess that because I’m white, I’m not a rightful owner, correct?”
No racism on the right wing, nope, none at all.

Try explaining civil liberties, freedom and privacy to Americans as you fine and jail them for not buying mandatory “free” healthcare….

Technically, they would only be jailed if they failed to pay their fine.
But to answer that, I’ll quote Mitt Romney circa 2006 here in regards to the mandate:”Some of my libertarian friends balk at what looks like an individual mandate. But remember, someone has to pay for the health care that must, by law, be provided: Either the individual pays or the taxpayers pay. A free ride on government is not libertarian.” (h/t TPM)
As for the rest, let’s put that right back on you and your like-minded ilk because the regressive right tends to think that freedom means pursuing doctrine in a rigid fashion without concern for the human consequences when, in reality, simply opposing the state and state intervention (and ignoring other hierarchies and powerful entities) often means placing greater– too much– power in the hands of private tyrants or reactionary forces, like corporations, like the insurance industry, that reinforce inequality and hardship. (to paraphrase Chomsky)
I personally don’t see anything liberty-oriented or self-reliant about continuing to let an industry price gouge, fail to innovate in regards to payment and delivery, AND, most importantly, engage in practices that leave people who have paid premiums on time for years without coverage when they need it most.
What I do see liberty-oriented and self-reliant is spending the past four years voting in enough people who ran on health care reform that it FINALLY got passed.
We did the work. Elections have consequences.
If you’re really that worked about it I believe there are exemptions for certain religious groups, like the Amish, and those in prison. (So those in prison are free! /sarc.)

Mama,race baiting?Nixon a race baiter? Ever study history?Wasn’t one of the first affirmative action plans put in place by the Nixon administration?What specifically did G.H.W. Bush do that was racist?Did you ever see his namesake grandson?I’m sure that his skin color is darker than yours.Goldwater-aside from voting against the 1964 Civil Rights act(like a large percentage of the Democrat Senate leasership of the time) what specific act of race baiting is he responsible for? Are you aware of the decades of work Barry Goldwater did for Native Americans,public and private?He was on the reservations before you were born.Ever hear of James Farmer? Of the Big Four civil rights leaders he was the only one who held a position in a presidential administration.Was that Kennedy’s?No. Was it Johnson’s? No.Was it Carter’s? No.It was race-baiter Nixon.It is a poverty of intellect to smear people you know little about with the stain of racism.There is nothing wrong with political disagreement,but the conscious effort of people on the Left to smear conservatives with the racism label is disgusting.Did you read Paul Krugman’s libel of Newt Gingrich in the N.Y. Times?He is so consumed with the conservative-racist canard that he actually lied in his article-to the point that the Times(heaven forbid!) had to issue a correction.

Can I sign up to be a Progressive AND Amish? I like free stuff from the government.

Amish would be a better bet. Being a progressive requires broad reading, forward thinking and an open mind.

Ever study history?
_________
Of course. Besides that, I’ve been paying close attention since the first election I was able to vote in. Remember 1988 at all?
I do. In detail.
Race baiting. (for more on race baiting and politics, see Salon War Room, “Great moments in political race-baiting
Willie Horton hears a who: Beck, Limbaugh are the latest in a long and undistinguished American tradition”)
At the end of the day politics are personal. I feel very strongly about this one. Heck, when I was growing up, I thought I’d be a Republican. I helped my mom distribute fliers for John B. Anderson. And then… Reagan became president, Bush followed and W. started rumors about McCain… remember those?
hmmm.
The downgraded present-day GOP appalls me when it comes to civil rights and liberties.
If they can’t openly admit their faults on economic and fiscal policy– and race baiting– and begin coming up with solutions that move us forward, then they deserve to become wholly irrelevant, to disintegrate.
p.s. Nephron, its pretty hypocritical to hear you talking about smears when I’ve read your ridiculous smears against the President…btw.

“Smart again”? I doubt it, he lacked experience and knowledge for the job in the first place. His remarks remind me of the ancient Roman Emperor Nero’s pompousness when he said before committing suicide, “What an artist dies in me!”
And for those people citing the Gallup poll the day after the legislation, may not have seen the 3 CNN, CBS, and Bloomberg poll results also the day after the legislation:
In a near reversal of the Gallup figures more oppose than favor health care reform by a 50-38% margin according to Bloomberg.
New CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll March 22, 2010 found that 59 percent of those surveyed opposed the bill, and 39 percent favored it. Furthermore, the March 22, 2010 poll revealed that for the first time, a majority of Americans disapprove of President Obama’s job performance: 51 percent of respondents disapprove of Obama’s job performance and 46 percent approve of it. Health care was the policy area that drew the second highest negative rating, with 58 percent registering disapproval. The highest negative rating was 62 percent for his handling of the federal deficit.
A new CBS poll finds that 62 percent want Congressional Republicans to keep challenging the bill, while only 33 percent say they should not do so. Nearly nine in ten Republicans and two in three independents want the GOP to keep challenging. Even 41 percent of Democrats support continued challenges.

Let’s not forget it was your saviour,
Barack Obama who constantly played the
“race card” on Bill Clinton during the
2008 Democrat Presidential Primary!
__________________________________
Did you say ‘constantly’?
Perhaps you could show us one example where the President played the ‘race card’ on Bill Clinton.
Like a direct quote from Obama – that would do it.
And if you can find even one, then you can move on to talking about ‘constantly’.

What do you have against the Amish?
________
Nothing at all. My neighbors all summer are Amish, so it could be that I know more about their culture than you do. They work very hard, and I’d find you trying to fit in very, VERY amusing.
But I acknowledge that I worded them badly so I’ll put it like this—
You’d never fit in as a progressive, but it would be very amusing watching you try to fit in as Amish, so I encourage the latter. Ultimately, where you’re at is probably the best bet– clinging to conserve the status quo of the 00′s and apologize for those who brought us economic collapse and two wars on borrowed money.
