Regarding the forthcoming Presidential address to Congress, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs revealed in an interview with CNN how Obama will address people’s concerns about health care reform:
“They will know the plan provides safety, security and stability to the millions of people that have health insurance each and every day, but watching their premiums skyrocket and double.
“Secondly, for those who don’t have health insurance, but need affordable coverage, he will lay out a plan for how people can get that, as well. He’ll talk about the cost on government and why we can’t afford to wait longer. We have to act now.”

Obama is putting his foot in his mouth. He is negative, using irrational statements, not making sense sayin the same things over, and over. Being tough, is not the way to get honey. He has no shame when telling a lie to your face. Unbelievable. He is the biggest spender in history, he and his friends. With all the defecit he came in with, he has more than tripled it, WHY!!!!. He is an angry unpresidental person. Boy, scolding practically cussing at his collegues. He is a distortion. How can we believe him. MLKing said, we should be judged by our character,” It has been said, show me who you hang with and I will know who you are.” 95% of Seniors are happy with their Medicare, Just, regulate the Insurance Co. and secure Tort reforms, stop waste, cheating, between some Dr. and Lawyers. He is a very ANGRY Person!!!!

He loves to hang blame on others, He does not take responsibility for his own actions. He continues to Blame Bush, it is time to stop blaming others, he sounds petty and mean. He was well educated in the socialistic agenda. Where are we going. He tries to sound good, but we know him now he is desperate. He does not listen, to anyone. He only listens to his cronies. HE is the special Interest, LOL!!!

Bleeding heart liberal, get rid of all the czars, that would be less taxes paid to this liberal govt. I wonder if he really has a communistic agenda, because of the communistic philosophy of some of his czars. How much taxes of the American people are paying for the czars. He did not say much again, same old, same old……

Wow, CM, you’ve really got that party line DOWN! You should be a paid spokesman for the Republicans (party of NO) – oh wait, maybe you are….
Speaking of which, how is it that you and your ilk cannot hear the sound of truth. It’s almost like you live in an alternate universe or you don’t comprehend plain english unless it’s spoken by a Rush or a Beck. You refuse to listen to reason, choosing only to support the party interests over the interests of your country. Un-American, indeed!

are you an insurance company worker?
maybe that is why you feel that way.
But really, this speech is very helpful and might awake some uncaring and unaware eyes

I feel sorry for the young people who will get stuck with all the taxes they will have to pay in the future. Young men will not be able to get married and raise a family because, they will not earn enough,2 or 3 days wages, will go for paying for the deficits that he will incur during his reign, it will take 3 wage earners to make a decent living, and these will be the middle class. Do you know that some young men are selling a kidney in order to get married, because they cannot afford it. Seems will soon be a third world country, if the President’s agenda comes to pass. I feel sorry for those who cannot see with their eyes or hear what this man is saying. I really have to give points to the person who yeld, (lier) he the only one who had stones, to say what he feels is. I think Obama is an Insurance salesman, he is good a salesman. But then, he is a lawyer, what do we expect from lieyers.

CMHENSLEY – WTF – what is all this with young men needing money to get married and they will have to sell kidneys just to do it?? Did you miss the part where women can work? Also to all those out there that are skeptical about his plan, GO AND READ IT!!! Or read at least the parts that you are concerned about don’t take what other people say are true. WE NEED this reform its time to wake up and see the world my friends. Lets take care of our fellow citizens that don’t have health care and get some changes made.

THE MARCH ON WASHINGTON IS THIS WEEK! SEPTEMBER 12TH – SHUT THIS MONSTER AND HIS MASSIVE SPENDING ENGINE DOWN. OSAMA BIN BAMA WON’T LISTEN TO YOU, BUT THE SENATORS YOU WILL BE VOTING OUT OF OFFICE IN LESS THAN 2 YEARS ARE NERVOUS NOW – KEEP UP THE PRESSURE! PLEASE – JOIN US IN WASHINGTON! MAKE IT THE 2 MILLION CITIZEN MARCH!

I did not hear any details in this speech. He just recited the same information we already knew.
1:54 am on September 10th, 2009 12
I will ask the qquestion I ask on most sites about this. It seems those who support this bill for the most part seem to be people who do not think they will be the ones who pay for it.
It is very easy to support something that you know won’t cost you anything!
2:25 am on September 10th, 2009 13
I am a young person, and close to a quarter of my salary goes towards my insurance because my organization can no longer afford to cover the full amount. What you are saying is absurd! It is this ignorance, and sheltered view of our country that you and so many others possess that prevents real and important progress from occurring. The reality you are living in is not representative of the reality that exists within our country today. Your traditional values are outdated. Time to reevaluate. Welcome to America.
2:45 am on September 10th, 2009 14
A very moving speech, it was nice to see him stand firm and tackle some of the more ridiculous rumors started by those who stand to lose a lot of money if this bill passes.
2:49 am on September 10th, 2009 15
Osama Bin Bama? Is that REALLY necessary? Why is it that Republicans can’t ever disagree with someone without resorting to derogatory names and insults?
2:50 am on September 10th, 2009 16
Great speech. I can’t believe that folks are still against healthcare reform. Somewhere around 50 million US folks don’t have coverage. Don’t you naysayers care? What’s up with the professed Christians? Ever heard about caring for the less fortunate? I just hate the hypocrisy with Republicans. They don’t want their children to listen to the president encouraging their children to stay in school, but they will put a high powered rifle in their hand and tell them to go have fun by killing animals. Didn’t Jesus speak about folks like you? I think He called them hypocrites. You guys are the true Nazis.
3:26 am on September 11th, 2009 17
Rick R. you are probably one of the less fortunate, probably living your parents in the basement, playing with your computer. I bet you don’t care about Christians or or children, you liberals, would rather kill a beautiful baby human being than a stupid animal. I give Joe Wilson, a lot of credit, he is the only one who had the stones, gumption, to tell, the emperor that he is naked. Yes, the emperor has finally exposed himself. So many of you libs are so blind. Read an article in New York Times August 24th google, regarding the Govt. considering circumcion of baby boys in America. Please look it up….whats next, stirilization, of minorities, blacks and poor people. when they pass HC, they can do whatever they d– feel.

Nothing anyone can say can break the audacity of hope, the courage of millions, and the power of the vote. I am sorry if you live in fear I wish a better life for you and you and you.
