GOP rebuttal to Obama's speech

Post by mainejeff »

Why does the GOP keep throwing sacrificial lambs from Louisiana at Obama?

This was like watching an SNL skit.......

Boustany tried to buy a Lordship from a British scam artist? He also doesn't think that Obama is an American citizen. He also has been sued for malpractice 3 times.........good grief! :roll:

As he prepared for his speech, Boustany found himself under fire from political opponents for suggesting at one point that he was unsure whether Obama was born in the United States. Earlier Wednesday, House Minority Leader John Boehner was asked in a pre-speech news conference whether he was aware that Boustany had flirted with the “birther” movement. Boehner said he was not.


There has also been scrutiny of Boustany’s medical record, with reports surfacing that he was the defendant in at least three malpractice lawsuits in his two-decade career.


And Democrats were quick to pounce Wednesday on reports that Boustany has aspired to British nobility before his career in Congress.


“Given the Republican Party’s fear mongering and countless lies aimed at killing health insurance reform, it's not surprising they chose ‘Lord’ Boustany - whose extreme 'Birther' beliefs are outside the mainstream - to respond to the president of the United States,” said Ryan Rudominer, a spokesman for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

I thought he did a decent job, in the middle he got a little jumbled up. Other than the middle it did the job I suppose. I feel as though people aren't changing their minds regardless of what politicians say on this one though.

Dear lord... please allow this dangerous combination of hair spary, bat slobber, and D.O.T. four automatic transmission fluid to excite my mind, occupy my spirits, and enrage my body, provoking me to kick any man or woman in the back of the head regardless of what he or she has or has not done unto me.

Sued for malpractice only 3 times? He must be a good Dr.....or not worth a sh!t and doesn't get many patients who, due to no tort reform, consistently file frivolous lawsuits against any practicing physician....thereby increasing healthcare costs....thereby leading to the need for healthcare reform....etc...etc...etc...

I missed the speech because World Cup Soccer and So You Think You Can Dance (and Iron Chef America, and Ace of Cakes, and some chick flick on Lifetime, and Teletubbies, and...) were on.

So did Obama say yes or no to the public option?
