BHO slips up during televised town-hall meeting

[n david]

BHO should have stuck to reading his teleprompter ...

In his town-hall style meeting, in which incredibly no one opposed to the president made it into the place, BHO used popular carriers UPS and FedEx vs the USPS to describe how his socialist healthcare system would work with private healthcare ... but I think the White House will be clarifying his comment ...

Drum roll...

He also disputed the notion that adding a government-run insurance plan into a menu of options from which people could pick would drive private insurers out of business, in effect making the system single-payer by default.

As long as they have a good product and the government plan has to sustain itself through premiums and other non-tax revenue, private insurers should be able to compete with the government plan, Obama said.

"They do it all the time," he said. "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

One more time in case you missed it ...

"They do it all the time," he said. "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

And gov't-run healthcare would be better than gov't-run postal system ... how?

BHO just let slip one of the best reasons why his socialized healthcare should never be passed. Wish I could've seen his face after he said that.

He NEVER needs to say a word unless he's reading what someone has prepared for him!

He even had a young lady planted in the audience with a question

Figures. Julia Hall from Malden MA, the little girl who asked Obama a question today at his town hall meeting, was a plant.

Julia Hall's mother, Kathleen-Manning-Hall, is Big Obama supporter and donor.
Check out the woman sitting next to Julia today:

The second person "randomly" selected to ask a question was a young girl called Julia Hall from Malden MA (asks question at 29m:25s).

Julia read the following question off a piece of paper: "As I was walking in I saw a lot of signs outside saying mean things about reforming healthcare. How do kids know what is true and why do people want a new system that can help more of us".

This randomly asked question gave Obama the perfect opportunity to dismiss talk about "death panels that will pull the plug on Grandma" and to blame Republicans for everything.


Over on the town hall comments thread AtomicPunk09 discovered someone on facebook who might possibly be Julia's mother and had a photo of her with Obama.

Another "coincidence" is that Julia said she lives in Malden MA and Kathleen Manning Hall's campaign contributions list the occupation "Legal Asst, Looney and Grossman LLP" and a home address in Malden MA, via the Huffington Post donation's page.

Looks like she donated $636 to Obama in 2008.

But wait, there's more at City Data.

This lists donations to Obama of $230 on 6/15/07, $250 on 9/28/07, $500 on 9/30/07, $300 on 3/2/08.

There's more at AR15.

Who said "I am the way the truth and the light"?

Hint. not Obama.

the telepromter must have pooped out on him.

It's a gift-wrapped commercial for the RNC. Nothing else needs to be done ...

Black blackground ... picture of BHO giving the speech ...

Audio of his quote: "UPS and FedEx are doing just fine. ... It's the Post Office that's always having problems."

Repeat end of sentence: "...it's the Post Office that's always having problems."

End with some tag about "...if the gov't has problems running the Post Office, how can we trust it with our healthcare..."

Suhweet!

This statement?

He still makes a mistake by stating there are problems with the USPS vs private carriers who are doing "just fine."

Key point being "problems with" anything run by the gov't.

Obama is not very perky on business matters. The USPS uses both UPS and Fedex extensively.

We want to borrow and implement best practices from the Social Security system and Post Office both of which are broke to run the new ACORN Memorial hospital chain.
