Presidential Address

I have soft spots for Nancy Reagan and Mary Matelin myself, though Noonan is definitely quality.

I would take Noonan over Matelin any day. Noonan is textbook class and grace.
 
she wrote speeches for Reagan right ? But I thought that Pat Buchannan also wrote speeches for RR.

He did too, but he was a stronger figure in the Nixon administration than in the Reagan Admin.
 
Am I one of the few that refuses to listen to anything he says?
I did try. But when you know the he's just spinning nonsense, it sort of insults one's dignity to sit there and listen.

I tried another time tonight, and tuned in when he started pontificating about the Bush tax cuts, and I just realized there was no point.

He did? I've been trying to load his page, but no success.
You don't have a link, do you?

Very inapropriate for a member of Congress. Did he think that he was sitting on AstroTurf and at a town hall "meeting"? Or chaneling the former fat one aka Limbaugh ? We here in the forums can do that but as far as I know none of us are in Congress..

Its not like he going to do anything radically different from his current agenda. Its pointless to listen to something when you already know whats going to happen.
 

My wife yelled down that Rachel Madcow had read Joe Wilson'd statement.

Ok, I was harsh as ussual against Joe but at least him did bounce back by not being forced into an apology. A lot of us have said or wrote things even tonight in this thread that was harsh and maybe dumb in the heat of the moment. He aid it, he meant it, but at least he recognized that he needed to apologize and I want to think that he did it on his own and was not threwatened by Pelosi with a sensure becasue that would also be innapropriate. As someone said right here in this thread two wrongs don't make a right.
 
what did some guy shout out during the speech that made pelosi and biden look over there, and obama said something too?

"you lie"

Some classless schmuck from S.C.

I am willing to bet he had some people from his party come up to him right after Obama's speech and tell him flat out he had to apologize.

Maybe, but it was sooo funny to see the reaction from the blowhard-in-chief!

His "Mr. Serious" act really grates on me. It's true that at least some of the democrat proposals provide coverage for illegals, but I wish he would have saved the "Liar!" call for that old, tired lie "if you like your insurance plan you can keep it. if you like your doctor you can-" LIAR!

There may be some proposals thrown up by some Democrats that want that but I know that prez Obama and the crew k ows that it would never fly with that sort of stupidity in the the bill

what did expect the President to says "hey yo, South Carolina Rebel Boy, see ya outside Redneck, gunna kick yo ass Honky , don't F with a brutha,
 
Okay, but did anyone catch that pathetic republican rebuttle? Did that guy even LISTEN to the speech?

You say:

"what did expect the President to says" :confused:
.
..
...
....
..... and then go on to try to mock the speech of someone from the south?

:rofl

I don't know, but I bet he knows how to spell rebuttal.

that would take a lot of time to expound upon. I do favor a moderate approach with insurance exchnage that provides a group rate basis for people or companies who cannot purchase insurance elsewhere but that needs to be regulated but private.. such as a coooperative. I would prefer a tax break to get insurance to emplyees by companies and I am very queezy about forced insurance. I am not in favor of flat level rate for both females and males since actuarially females cost us more money ( I have been in the insurance industry for 33 years) and I have split feelings about pre-existing conditions..

Single payor is out of the question. Not here, not now, not in the next 5 lifetimes.

I could expound more and more on this question but it's late and I have to be an Insurance Auditor whore in the morning. I run my own one man business and live off the insurance companies doing audits for them ...

I too am hoping for a much more moderate approach, but don't think such a plan has been proposed. I can't see the democrats not passing something after so many years of calling themselves the healthcare party. If they can't do it with 60 senators during a backward economy then... no they WON'T let that happen!

What part of the suggested reasoned common sense bipartisan approach did you not like?
