Blame TOTUS: ObamaCare & Dem Party Thrown Under the Bus by POTUS… Obama Babbles “Health Care Plan Is Like, Uh, Post Office” and “Ponying Up” or Something Like That
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on August 11, 2009
Great video below of our Commander in Chief winging it (and screwing it all up royally) without his trusty TOTUS (Teleprompter of the United States) at a town hall today in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. No TOTUS, and we get the “real” Barack Obama. Delicious, babbly weirdness about free markets and UPS and FedEx and the mistakes and financial problems of the government-run US Post Office.
Rahm Emanuel is likely stabbing a fish angrily right now, spewing every rage-filled expletive that his foul-word brain has soaked up since his ballet classes long ago.
Did Obama forget which side he’s on? That could explain his bizarre, self-sabotaging misstep… yeah, like I’m cryin’… From my side of the fence, it’s a brilliant “shooting himself in the foot” strategy. Keep it up, Big Guy! ObamaCare isn’t dead yet, but you’re helping it along…
This Twitter post (“tweet”) from TOTUS says it all. It’s all good, kids… and that sliver of light at the end of the dark, scary forest is just a bit brighter than it was yesterday. Dare I say it? Gaffe-tastic!
The weird, rambling “good stuff” about the Post Office begins at approximately the 0:50 mark.
Snippet from Hot Air: Obama: Government health care will be like, um, the post office
Well, now I’m sold. If only he’d sweetened the pot and promised us it’d be like the DMV, I’d be ready to don an SEIU shirt and beat some protesters myself. As for the substance of his claim, that having government competition won’t affect private insurers, make sure to read Karl’s post debunking the many, many lies The One has told us about ObamaCare thus far.

Snippet from Michelle Malkin’s coverage of Obama’s town hall performance:
2:10pm Eastern. One real skeptic finally gets to ask question. Jokes that he turned himself into the White House snitch brigade. Asks why O won’t criticize Congress for mandating a health plan it won’t accept for itself. O spins about increased choice.

I could listen to about 10 minutes of this town hall. It was nothing more than a rehash of his same old talking points and poorly done, at that!
Love this blog! He was such a babbling fool and his comments about how well Fed-Ex and UPS is doing compared to the USPS, was a HOOT! He just proved the point that the government can’t do anything profitable.
I heard Obama’s comment about FEDEX, UPS, and the PO, yesterday.
I told my wife what Obama said, and she laughed out loud, while asking me “how can he be so stupid?”
He can afford to be stupid, make mistakes, surround himself with socialists and make them Czars, while never demonstrating any business acumen.
He is a community organizer and his “community” exists in Washington, D.C.
Obama is a liar and obviously afraid of any opposition to his agenda.
Hilliary Clinton, in Africa, lashed out at people that she thought were maligning her integrity and her authority.
She’s there for a reason, Obama wants her as far away from him as possible.
Hilliary’s arrogance is and will continue to be her downfall.
