Meanwhile, one older Southern gentleman thinks our President has to somehow humble himself due to the teabagger summer antics:
Let me get this straight: ol' Southern white Republican thinks that our President, who's conducted himself with absolute dignity, has to somehow show humility due to the racist rabblerousers screaming down honest debate with their "death panels" talk and Obama-as-Hitler posters?Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) said today that, because of angry town hallers and the like, President Obama should show "humility" when he speaks to Congress Wednesday night.
"What you're seeing is folks on my side anxious to see what the president has to say tomorrow night," Chambliss said. "I think he's gonna have to express some humility based on what we've seen around the country this August and that's not his inclination."
Did ol' Saxby ever call on ex-Presidente Bush to show humility after it was revealed that he lied us into a war and didn't prepare properly for the aftermath?
Would Saxby ever expect a white male President to humble himself, or wouldn't that be the very show of weakness all these GOPers decry?
Guess what, Saxby. Your screamers didn't stop the movement to reform. Sure, it'll be less than a full loaf, maybe egregiously so, but it's going to happen, and you and Sen. DeMint and all the Becks and Hannitys in the world won't have stopped it. Reform survived August.
And -- guess what? -- the Dems' plan is half as costly as the Bush tax cuts for the rich.

I'm taking bets on how many Republitards will walk out during BHO's speech tonight.
My over/under is 80% of them.
(I'm not sure whether to count Lieberman as a 'tard or Dem.)
ps: When are you going to see Basterds and tell me it sucks so I won't have to see it myself?
So is this the article that you're referring to? http://www.pressdisplay.com/pressdisplay/showlink.aspx?bookmarkid=6SX65AK8CME7&preview=article&linkid=052cdc96-d793-496c-8dd6-da733beaa5e8&pdaffid=ZVFwBG5jk4Kvl9OaBJc5%2bg%3d%3d

Eventually if BHO keeps giving these speeches the only outlet that will give him any kind of screen time is Access Hollywood. What's he going to say this time that he hasn't said before?
Now I had an interesting thought, how is a public option going to be cheaper then before? Especially now that everyone gets insured? The people that couldn't afford insurance / or the people that sadly couldn't get insured because of pre-existing condition are now going to get insurance, right? Isn't the reason why most people can't get insurance with pre-existing conditions is because those conditions require a lot of capital to treat? (Hence not a good investment by the insurance company?)
I don't care how you slice it up, this plan will fail. But who cares let's expand the government because it's the NICE thing todo.
People were posting the following the other day: (not the stuff in parens)
No one should die because they had a pre-existing condition. (When the government decides that they won't pay for an operation based on the percentages, they just might). No one should die because they couldn't afford health insurance. (Sometimes I wonder, why people can't afford health insurance, yes it's expensive. Should we scrutinize the spending of the people who don't currently have health insurance?)
The President in his speech yesterday, to the kids in school, talked about personal responsibility. I don't get it, this guy is Mr. Mixed Message, or maybe he isn't. He's telling these kids that personal responsibility is a must since he's spending those kids future earnings today.
