Paul Ryan on Health Care: Answers don't lie in Washington

[duellg]

Paul Ryan is either profoundly stupid or profoundly dishonest. Health care is a GLOBAL issue, not a State's issue. The question is, why do we rank 32nd in quality of care even though we spend nearly twice as much per person as the second most expensive country???? That's what the private sector has given us.

[stringlov]

The People Need The Same, Health Care, As The People Thay Elect.......

[Vetwolf13]

The one good thing about Ryan's budget proposal is that it will put a lot of right wingers out of thier jobs and homes. They'll have to move in with the kids who won't have jobs either. Many will die from lack of proper affordable health care. I'm all for that.

[Vetwolf13]

If anyone is stupid enough to tell you privatizing health care will make it more affordable ask them how much people in Canada, Germany or France pay for it. Then say

"I thought so!"

[BelieversinThings]

@Vetwolf13 Well in Canada the middle class pay 15% more in income tax per person as well as a 5-15% Gst,hst, pst rate. I don't know what the latter is because we don't have that in America. In Germany they pay 7% more in income tax as well as a 19% sales tax/vat rate. In France it's 5% and 19.6% sales tax.

 "What did you think?" Health care is free.

[Vetwolf13]

@BelieversinThings How many people in those countries had to file for bankruptcy because they couldn't pay their medical bills? ........ah,....I thought so!

[stringlov]

It's TIME to TAX the RICH make USA no.1

[RandomShellAccount]

@stringlov

When people say "tax the rich" what in the HELL does that mean??

Who are the 'RICH'? People who make over $100,000? Because someone who is 'RICH' to them makes a MILLION....to them someone who makes 10 MILLION...where does it end?

And when people say "Tax the rich" do they means Corporations that use loopholes or their CEOs.

What the HELL does it mean? I'm tired of hearing it like a bumper sticker over and over.

What the F*CK does it mean?????

[xadam2dudex]

Paul Ryan another bought crazy right wing hypocrite

[hotrod4you2]

WE MUST FOCUS ON JOBS - EDUCATION - DEFENSE ,research and development of High Technology Developments (NO SOCIAL ISSUS) WE ARE BROKEN, WE ARE BEING LEFT BEHIND BY OTHER COUNTRIES,IT SEEMS SOCIAL ISSUS ARE BRING DOWN OUR COUNTRIES,SEEMS LIBERALS ALWAY HAVE SOMETHING TO POISON THE WELL OF AMERICA? NOW THEY WANTING MILLIONS OF POOR MEXICANS, WE ARE BEING BROUGHT DOWN BY OURSELF, LIBERALS WANT TO CAUSE DIVISION AND THIS IS BE FUELED BY OUTSIDE FORCES Julian Assange & George Soros & MANY MORE

[catndryer]

Paul Ryan scares the crap out of Obama.................imagine these two in a debate.................Ryan would have Bammy sucking his thumb.

[Noahedwinbeach2]

Please support our new Christian Political Party in TN ChristianPartyTn . com Our goal is to end abortion, end gay marriage, lower the tax rate to 10%, etc. God Bless America!

[BigPapaSmurfy]

@gingerpartington Why spew hate? Expose your ignorance? Do you honestly think anyone will take you serious? Grow & know the words before using them. Now, the most important thing, ready? Try to comment with logic, respect & knowledge. I believe people who spread & feel hate want fighting instead of understanding in all forms. Talk with some intelligence or don't talk at all.

[BigPapaSmurfy]

We'll pay more in taxes, we will be added in somehow. Everything will cost more from milk, gas EVERYTHING. Always a lie when they say the "just rich will be taxed" big business has accountants and attorneys you really think they will eat the loss. This is a small business KILLER.

[BigPapaSmurfy]

We are getting rolled. We are being used against each other. I know NOTHING is free especially from the government! We will pay ten times over! Who wants that?

Who has ever been denied medical care at an emergency room; this is a way to pay off some unions and special interest! Not for the American people. We are not JUST Blacks, Whites Asian or Hispanic. We are all Americans together who need to understand the rich will pass the cost to us.

[BigPapaSmurfy]

Stop buying the lie, they (both sides) don't work for us, we are working for them as they reach in our wallet! I am not a racist - I cant afford more taxes- RACE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT THEY USE THAT TERM TO DIVIDE US! Pelosi said We must pass the bill first, then get through the fog of what is in it ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I believe she knows what is in it. Anyone else?

[BigPapaSmurfy]

People are told HCR bill is free, future generations going to pay, so are we with higher taxes, EVERYTHING we purchase is going to be more expensive! Wait until the global warming lie goes through! (more fees taxes & regulation) The party admits our quality of life will be the sacrifice for a greater good? People fighting for higher taxes? Do we know what we are fighting for? I have never seen anyone fight for more tax. We be left with just flour (for them to tax ) PEOPLE WAKE UP!

[wrb1957]

Well, we have the National Socialists (Republicans) vs the Marxists (Democrats). They both interpret The Constitution as a living document, basing most of their interpretations upon legal precedent and not upon what the document actually says. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but forget what they say about themselves...and look at their works. The primary reason the Republicans don't like Obamacare? Because they aren't in charge of it. Freedom in America is an illusion.

[ultimatetalesfan19]

While you are right about the real reason why some Republicans are mad at obamacare, you are an absolute idiot to think Nazis are right wing.

The name national socialist says it all, they didn't just come up with that name for shits and giggles, they believe in SOCIALISM.

[wrb1957]

@ultimatetalesfan19

Heh. You've got to be completely ignorant of history to think that the Republicans are to the right of anything except the Democrats. Do the research. The Republican Party platform is national socialism incarnate. Just as the Democrat Party platform is Marxist. Freedom in America is an illusion, at best.

[ultimatetalesfan19]

Republicans are quite a bit to the right of Democrats now.

Marxism is far to the left of national socialism(well not that far) and national socialism is far to the left of Republican's belief in a Constitutional Republic.

Where things are on the political spectrum doesn't change, Nazism will always be a leftist governing with a Aryan Supremacist viewpoint and Marxism will always be a far far leftist form of governing while a Democracy and a Republic are center right philosophies.

[yankeeshogun]

So if the Republicans have had so many ideas over the years, why have they sat on their asses? Because they have not cared that the country has been going down the tubes, that's why! News to the right-wing Neocon whackos: You were voted out of office! Get a clue! Go back to Nazi Germany if you don't like Democracy!

[gingerpartington]

You go back to Nazi Germany, you illiterate skinhead! It seems you want to scapegoat Jewish liberals who joined the GOP in the 70's rather than engage in a substantive debate on policy. Everyone knows what you mean when you yell about "neocons" -- and people like you are the reason this country is going down the tubes. You are an ignorant, paranoid nutjob.

[yankeeshogun]

@gingerpartington You obviously have no clue about the political landscape. Please at least learn right (conservative, skinhead, Nazi etc) from left (liberal, socialist, Communist, etc) before you make comments on politics because you are making a fool of yourself.

[wonderlnd1]

Bottom line, Medicare and SS need to be cut drastically, otherwise this country is going to Greece.

[zalzankavol2]

Ryan hit it on the head. Its a States rights issue, not a federal issue. Since Obamarx is a communist, he of course does not even comment on Ryan's remarks. Obamarx the liar will never come right out and admit that he wants total wealth redistribution and a communist society. He is a liar and a coward.

[geezlueeez]

What does Evolution have to do with the healthcare summit? Please make comments that actually relate to the topic.

By the way, I loved President Obama's comment at the end....

"This is an important point Paul, but we could care less what you think."

[Kylehintz87]

Evolution has a lot to do with how life began.

Darwin was a believer in the primordial soup theory of Miller-Urey that chemicals formed into amino acids which over time formed into life. Its impossible, but is one of but two theory's for life.

Amino acids can form like the Miller-Urey experiment proved, but thats it, a few amino acids. not life. Life is 100% left-handed amino acids.

The soup he made and we now make is 50% right handed 50% left handed. Out of that life is impossible :)

[Visfen]

No, life is not impossible out of that, it's a matter of segregating composition.

The laws of thermodynamics involve isolated systems, we have a huge fucking fireball flinging energy our way, that's part of the system.

"A creator" is not an explenation. Say you disprove evolution, well, then you're left with no answer, not "god".

But yeah, there's nothing that seperates creation from evolution. You can believe god created life, but evolution is the explenation of how it EVOLVED...

[Kylehintz87]

And the only theories for life are the primordial soup theory of amino acids building impossibly over time to form bigger and bigger structures then into dna and everything else. But remember, Its not life till its 100% left handed amino acids.

The other is a creator outside the laws of the universe and physics.

1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics prove that the energy in the universe MUST have come from something operating outside the laws of the physics.

I'll choose math,physics,sci.:)

[dkkght46]

The President's admission that his plan would not reduce the cost of private health insurance. Obama's most important health reform promise was his oft-repeated pledge to lower health insurance costs by $2,500 per year, Being forced to admit on live television that his plan fails to do that — and instead increases premiums — this was definetly the low point of the summit for the president and the dems. High costs, unprecedented fed expansion & unconstitutional mandates were left unresolved

[armyofonerd]

Everything run by the gov't costs more, is less effective and always costs more money. Can anyone name a gov't run program that was run within the original financial budget, run within the financial budget on a yearly basis and did not cost the taxpayers more and more money on a yearly basis? Yet, this democratic party and President want us to somehow ignore all the previous failures of our gov't to run anything within budget and give them the power over healthcare?

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd just remember your shills are saying government cant run anything on one hand and scoring political points by saying the bill will doom our beloved medicare...which is a GOVERNMENT RUN PROGRAM.

[armyofonerd]

@rdrakken

tell me again what part of medicare runs within its budget? ZERO

Medicare & Medicaid rely on a constant infusion of money from the taxpayers of this country, and each and every year - both Medicare and Medicaid demand more money to run.

At the same time, the democratic congress continues to "expand" those who can qualify for medicare/medicaid and act suprised when their budget swells.

The fraud, waste & abuse within those programs is like a cancer.

[armyofonerd]

Don't get me wrong, I was not a fan of the prescription drug plan for many reasons - one of which was simply it was "unfunded". I don't care how "good" a program is, if you don't show how it will be paid for - then it can't be a good program.

[tenagliac]

I heard it said that the goal should be to fix what's broken, & keep that which works. So what is broken ? Is it clinical practice ? Is it runaway costs ? Is it litigation ? Is it insurance and their rationing care to benefit stockholders ? Is it the customer/patients fault ?

Divide and conquer. Pick something, even one thing and fix it. Then put in a metric that measures performance against expected results. Then move on.

[ISAIAH3V1to3]

Why is this summit even happening? UHBAMA said "this is not a formal hearing" What happened to the system of checks and balances? To the separation of powers? This is an overt attempt to set a precident to pass failed bills by bullying Congress. This self proclaimed constitutional professor is knowledgeable about the Constitution and it's laws or "FLAWS". His own description! UHBAMA swore to uphold the Constition. UHBAMA is a man of his TURD! UHBAMA is not BLACK or WHITE! He's just SHADY.

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

The real shills are Obama and the Leftist Dems...Ryan is talking about creating more competition among insurance com[anies to bring prices down. How is that bad? With Obama's plan insurance companies would end up raising their premiums. Plus how many big companies are the Dems in bed with lately on healthcare. A LOT!

[rdrakken]

Ryan is just another shill for major corporations spewing the same misleading bullshit over and over again.

Who gives a SHIT what the national restaurant assocation wants to do. the god DAMN MEDICAL INDUSTRY which includes doctors and nurses says SHUT THE FUCK UP AND FIX THIS SHIT which is why they back a government option, a public option which was proven by the CBO (as you repubs called them...GOD) to be better for small businesses and individuals.

[fubarnett]

@rdrakken - The medical professionals aren't backing a government option, their unions are. You know, the same unions that are run by Andy Stern who is the top visitor to the white house last year. This is all about power and payback. Stern helped Obama get elected, and now Obama is paying him back by handing Stern a God awful amount of revenue guaranteed under this plan. The bottom line is, it is a violation of our rights, and we no longer are able to choose for ourselves any longer.

[rdrakken]

@fubarnett yes and the union does nothing without the backing of the MAJORITY of their members.

Secondly, adding a public option gives you MORE choices not less.

At least learn the BASICS before you try to argue something. thats the problem with the majority of Republicans and Libertarians today, you dont even know the basics.

[fubarnett]

@rdrakken The basics is understanding that SEIU and it's members will do what is going to make them money, not what is best for the country.

If Washington is supposed to represent the American people, why is it every poll out there shows American's don't want this bill, yet it is being pushed through as though it is some emergency? Seems like it isn't the American people that this administration has interest in, because they sure aren't listening to them.

What basics am I missing here?

[rdrakken]

@fubarnett What a great choice of words..."why is it every poll out there shows American's don't want this bill"...

name one poll in history that did NOT show "americans" not wanting something.

Also, no poll in history was ever taken by more than half this nation...ever so no poll in history has ever been accurate which is why polls are not good for shit.

You can poll 10k people with a question then poll 10k other people with the same question and get very different results.

[armyofonerd]

@rdrakken

It would be quite difficult to poll 150 million people - don't you think?

However, many polls take cross sectional samples to give an analysis of what can be expected - and over the years those same polls have proven an error rate that is quite respectible - typically less than 6%.

[armyofonerd]

The front line care providers are not backing this piece of shit bill, only the union bosses of their professions are. The "proven" money savings were also double counted as you heard during this "summit" which should make many people question the actual savings. The shit that is "fucked up", is the amount of paperwork necessary to complete to have each and every hospital/healthcare provider receive their reimbursement - and all the bullshit "codes" that change on a yearly basis.

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd you mean like Kaiser?

yeah...opps. sorry bud but there are more than a few front line health care providers that ARE backing this bill. so are drug companies.

It would be a real breath of fresh air to hear from a conservative that knows more than the talking points spewed forth by the extreme right wing nutjobs...

[armyofonerd]

@rdrakken

You mean those same drug companies that Obama has said were so bad and yet he allowed them to sit in those backroom deals to craft our healthcare plan - you mean those same drug companies.

It would be a breath of fresh air to actually find a democrat who actually held those in elected office to their word and their promises - I guess that is not you.

When you speak of talking points - do you mean all those broken promises that were spoken by Obama and the democrats? Tool.

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd

It would be a breath of fresh air to actually find a republican that doesnt deal in black and whites because their brain is the size of a pea.

oh noes, bank bailouts are bad even when protecting the nation. bank ceo bonuses are evil...what? Obama is trying to cap ceo bonuses! thats communist! what? Obama is taxing the banks that have not paid the bailout money back? thats communist!

In other words, fuck off you small minded asshole.

[armyofonerd]

@ rdrakken

Fuck yourself off and shut your piehole while you are at it.

You know shit about healthcare and yet you want everyone to simply allow those elected officials to do whatever they want while taking the bribes of lobbyists - no thanks.

You are nothing but a lib, so enjoy your life without demanding our money to do so. If you want an entitlement, then earn it - and quit crying to others for it.

Get a job, get a clue and fuck yourself "asshole".

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd "fuck yourself off"

yeah you dont even have a grasp of the language buddy...

The ones being paid off by the lobbyists are the ones equating health care reform to a pile of dead jews killed in WWII.

BTW, I really LOVED the "get a job lib" comment. I really love how mindless apes like you can think Liberals are all Jobless yet the Unions (workers) are liberal, the banks are run by liberals, hollywood, the media, big businesses...what does that leave for Republitards? sheep..

[armyofonerd]

@rdrakken

You are just a pile of shit. You can't communicate without swearing. You fail to even follow the most simple thoughts and you are unable to stay focused.

Get a new prescription on whatever you are taking. Continue to blame everyone else for your pathetic life and accept zero responsibility for everything you fail to accomplish.

"dead jews from WWII"?? WTF - better yet, I don't want to even attempt to follow you thoughts.

"in other words, fuck off you small minded asshole"

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd "You are just a pile of shit. You can't communicate without swearing"

And that is why you fail...

[armyofonerd]

@rdrakken

Go back and see who cast the first stone

Go back and see who started the "language"

Go back and read when it began

If you don't like the response from others, maybe you should consider a new tone, some new words and a larger vocabulary.

Bottom line, when someone such as yourself begins using such words, I feel free to thrown them back at you. If you don't like them, then don't use them.

end

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd I see...

do as I say not as I do...or, even better...you did it so I can do it to while I try to make you look bad for doing it.

The problem with every single person like you is that you dont argue against what is being said, you argue against petty SHIT like the word SHIT because you cannot actually argue the MOTHER FUCKING topic.

perhaps if your brain wasnt the size of a pea you could defend your stance by attacking what is actually being said about it.

[armyofonerd]

@rdrakken You don't get it and you never will.

When you begin such language with someone, do you honestly expect the "tone' to remain civil?

You know, each and every time I've come across someone who "claims" to be intelligent, they turn out to be stupid. The more you try and say someone else other than yourself is stupid, the more I realize you are the one without and education.

I get it, You support a secret healthcare bill that was crafted with the drug companies & bought votes.

[armyofonerd]

typo:

"without an education"

I know you would be the person most likely to focus on something so small.

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd You know, each and every time i've come across someone who "claims" to be intelligent, they turn out to be stupid.

Which is why they lose all control when someone uses the word "FUCK" or "SHIT

", its as if they become mentally handicaped and cannot actually reply with a refute to anything else.

Yeah, sorry man. You have NOTHING since you cannot attack the points I made and can only comment about the grown up words I used instead.

[armyofonerd]

@rdrakken

The words you made a choice to use are that of a pre-teenager - nothing more. If you lack the education to make your point without offending others, you shall remain with those uneducated people - enjoy.

You can't explain why a program such as "universal healthcare" takes 10 years to pay for and only provides 6 years of service. You have NOTHING to explain this, period.

I'm not against every gov't run program, however I expect the gov't to actually pay for those programs.

[rdrakken]

@armyofonerd

The fact that you cannot argue the points being made and can only talk about the fact that I said the word FUCK proves you have no ground to stand on.

A mature adult does not become offended by grown up words, only a weak minded fool does, and hides behind it in order to avoid talking about the subject at hand.

[gingerpartington]

Somebody please tell me how you refute FUCK SHIT. Is that even an argument that adults have?

[Kylehintz87]

@rdrakken

Well lets try to take a different approach.

Let me get this straight...you just claimed that BIG BUSINESS (the evil white man trying to hold down the brotha) is run by libs. Hmmm...

And one more thing, i bet you are a darwinian evolutionist. Correct? If so, please explain to me how you even can contemplate this idea as valid. Please, i want you to use MATHEMATICS, PHYSICS, AND SCIENCES of all the sorts. I presumed that from the dumb ape comment, not just lib

READY......GO!

[Visfen]

Evolution is the spontaneous organization in nature, just like the free market is the spontaneous organization between human institutions.

The idea, the ignorance, that either of them is false is preposterous. Neither human interaction nor life itself needs a designer.

[Kylehintz87]

Evolution means change over time.

Darwinism is the false impossible nonsense permeated through our schools and country.

Look up a guy named PASTEUR. He proved that spontaneous generation of life is IMPOSSIBLE. its simple simon science, but some folks just dont like to use MATHEMATICS, Physics, and science .

Please, you are making yourself look like a fool by claiming darwinism. Its proven incorrect, and impossible. Please, step down and read some books.

BIOCHEMISTRY, PHYSICS, MATH.

[Visfen]

Darwinism isn't even an ism, it's just a word made up by moronic creationist that should be left at the heap of garbage of history, as should they.

Evolution is the theory of natural selction of random mutations. Small changes trough every generation give incremental advantages and disadvantages to others, this is how self forming spontaneous organization works. It's the same process as the free market.

[Visfen]

No, he proved that it can not be done in HIS lab. But we have seen it formed in underwater volcanoes and now we have even formed the aminoacids that make up the simplest forms of life in laboratories.

Add to this time, a tremendous amount of time and natural selection and you will have a full living organism

I'm a fucking math major, I'm civil engineer. What the fuck do you know?

There's no point in debating evolution, it's not a debate. It's like pointing at the sun and saying "bright"

[Kylehintz87]

@Visfen

Sorry, but you are flat out wrong, and are taking a simple Miller-Urey experiment of 1953 and snowballing it into LIFE.

Besides the lefthanded amino acid thing, another is OXYGEN

A catch 22 for the Primordial soup theory.

1. Darwinists say there was no oxygen present when this was, of course because oxygen would quench the chemical reactions going on.

2.) without the oxygen though, no 03, no ozone layer. Any 3rd grader will tell you life impossible without O3.

LOL, rookie

[Visfen]

This has nothing to do with evolution whatsoever. How life was created does NOT relate to evolution at all. The most plausible explenation however is that life formed around the under water volcanoes, there we can find today the simplest forms of life and things tlike aminoacids.

1. Oxygen comes from lifeforms, otherwise it is not present in the atmosphere.

2. Life didn't form on land. Any 4th grader would tell you that solar radiation does not peneterate water.

[Visfen]

What Pasteur didn't realize is that life didn't start out as single formed organism with DNA. He totallt fails to understand that life took millions of years to get to that point. So simply suggesting that randomness of such a system is a false proposition. Life didn't start that way.

Further, evolution has nothing to fucking to do with how life started. It has to do with how it progressed. Now run away, I'm so beyond having debates with people with the intellect of 3 year olds.

[geezlueeez]

@Visfen If you are a teacher it's sad you have to teach through derogatory words and comments. The only thing swearing shows is your finite vocabulary, and lack of teaching skills.

[Visfen]

Good thing I'm not a teacher. Better yet, good thing I don't have to deal with people that are 200 years behind in the research of biology.

If you have a problem with how people say things, instead of what they say, they you're a vitcim of the illusiveness of rhetoric.

Obama should listen to Ryan, as Ryan is far more adversed in the field of economics, which obviously Obama know very little about.

[Bestflickz]

@Gtownthug1

define socialist and name at least 1 famous socialist u know

mr i shout random words

[jstorm73]

it is the most expensive health care money can buy. The question i have is how much under the table are these guys taking in to protect the corporate health care?

We're all getting screwed by the corporate shills.

[shaithis45]

@jstorm73, some public tactic that worked really well when businesses got out of line was a consumer boycott. That might get insurers back into line and if not, well I guess they go belly up and more reasonable insurers step in. The public needs to seriously take a stand on their own accord and boycott insurers that price gouge. Boycotts, sit ins, you name it. Just a thought.

[PinkOld]

The single easiest thing to spot, even ignoring the content of the speakers, was this:

Paul Ryan speaking to Obama - "Mr. President"

Obama speaking to Paul Ryan - "Paul"

Formality apparently goes one way.

[bdazzzle]

@PinkOld i think thats okay when ur the most powerful man in the world lol....give me control of the most deadly army in the history of man and ill be up there calling u little bitch haha

[PinkOld]

Junior, shouldn't you be back in your bedroom, lighting up your bong, paid for by your mommy and daddy?

Egads!

[TimmyHaag]

So Rep Ryan's position is; WAIT for someone else, in the private sector, to start looking out for the American peoples' well being ? AKA; Let the free market sort em out ?

Well all I have to say to Rep Ryan is maybe you should take that mentality, leave government, and go back to the private sector.

I am a 70% disabled Iraq Veteran I would support an American version of National Health Care System 100%.

[SkullSanctum]

@TimmyHaag - You're no veteran and you're not a disabled veteran. You should be ashamed when there are millions of real disabled veterans in this country who REALLY did fight for their country. You are a phony and a traitor. Supporting a communist revolutionary takeover of our country while true heroes are overseas fighting for your liberty. Thanks to you what will they come home to? A communist nation? Why don't you meet them at the airport in your "Uniform" and break the news to them huh....?

[TimmyHaag]

@SkullSanctum

I learned about a year after I got back from Iraq that a lot of Americans think all Veterans must be conservative to the teeth and as soon as one doesn't fit that mold then he or she must be a phony soldier....

That is why I chose my name as my channel page so people smarter than you would take the time to, I don't know, google me.

Maybe coming home to a communist nation would be an improvement; at least there would be jobs.

[erekon]

you tell them skull

[JockDeFirm]

Slam dunk... Home run.... right over the morons heads I am afraid...

[8lugz]

the libs should have no place in this

look up kathleen sebelius and how she got her start helping insurance co's write up their own laws then the frivoulus lawsuits of the 80s and 90s i dont believe ppl are so stupid to believe it will be cheap it will be worse than auto insurance expensive for those with bad credit who may not be able to pay a deductible!

there will be so many cost angles , and when its all over you will be forced to carry it (future loss prediction) look that up..

[360whiplash]

I can't wait for 2012 so that I can vote to help get Obama out of office.

[akrivosdiavolos73]

How about TORT REFORM? HOW ABOUT CAPS on malpractice? Both of which Obama Strongly Opposses?? I wonder why???

[zbetter1]

At the end of of the summit yesterday Pres. Obama, said he is willing to rethink his position regarding the caps on malpractice! But he is asking the repubs to rethinks some things too, nothing is going to move if everyone wants to stay stuck on stupid! & just pout and say IM right and that's it, not tryna hear another point of view, that's pride & that comes b4 a fall,& We the people will suffer more! Come on Dems/Repubs, GROW UP& learn 2 play fair with 1 another, basic rule of kindergarten!!

[PinkOld]

Association of Trial Lawyers

'nuff said

[jasonjasonjason1]

It sounds good in theory, too bad it's totally unrealistic. Talking points piss me off. Why can't they just get this healthcare thing taken care of?

[zbetter1]

Same reason they went home 2day w/out passing the bill 4 unemployment extensions, which expires this sunday the 28th and 4.1 mill ppl will lose their lifeline, which will cause more 4closures, evictions, homelessness, less spending in communities, AND all of this was done by the power of one Senator, of Kentucky, why, Just because they can ,That is the answer! Just because they Can!

[spareaxe]

The current health care system is not working, why does he think all of a sudden everyone will get some coverage? He needs to catch up with the fact most Americans can't afford the messy health care system we have now.

[eightbitgnosis]

It's sad when this group meets every day and still they need a special event to get anything done

[a5dr3]

killed it

[Sp0ilTheFun]

Wtf why did they cut the video short, it seemed like Obama was about to respond to his comment.

Nonetheless that guy actually seemed like a reasonable guy, I still want to see the response thought.

[Gtownthug1]

Why listen to Obozo's response? It will be another lie. Every time this socialist opens his mouth a lie comes out.

[Sp0ilTheFun]

Ok...

[8lugz]

@Gtownthug1 i believe most who voted for him are seeing that,but who will screw it up next,the last 3 are the same,,,,what next right? the anti christ? lol but its not funny !

[Codad]

Con. Paul Ryan, thank you so much for saying what appears so elusive to our leaders, perhaps because it is so simple they won't accept it.

Although if you do advocate for minimum standards of coverage, I would ask that you consider how that is on a lesser scale the same thing they advocate for. That it will lead to the same results of inflated prices, and restrict the consumers ability to shop for plans that suit their needs. As well as beyond the authority of the federal government to mandate.

[MontanaMan007]

and NOW you know why the Dems will be long gone come November. Hey Dumbo (Big eared Obama)... WE the people will speak LOUD & CLEAR on election day... so go ahead... try ramming this down our throat. I can't WAIT for the day you are TOAST!

[Grutch]

Thanks you Wisconsin for Paul Ryan, we need more like him.

[akrivosdiavolos73]

Paul Ryan, who is not even 40yr old, gets an A+!!

He Owned and humiliated Obama and his lost flock yesterday. He punched in more holes in the OBAMA CARE plan than a pound of Wisconsin Swiss Cheese!!!!

[Tetragrammaton8]

Except the GOP isn't for 'decentralization'. They simply support corporate power more than government power. Meet the new boss, same as the old one.

[Kylehintz87]

Its 3.3% profit margin, most are lower than that. Cosmetics is up in the teens and 20% range. Lets take down big cosmetics! LOL.

Fact check all of this too by the way.

Guess what the average salary of both a private sector job and a government job?

.

[1MartinD28]

to bad all the people in this room couldnt have gotten teleported to the moon, and leave them there.

[LooseLatitude]

We're going to get health care whether we like it or not.

That's the feeling I'm getting from Obama.

[bakorexer]

@LooseLatitude

Man it is a bad feeling too!

[Kylehintz87]

Private sector= 40,000

Government sector=70,000

yes thats including the evil greedy rich white people stealing billions from the "disadvantaged", which means nothing in the USA, where anyone can do whatever they want. Just don't drop out and have children out of wedlock. problem solved

[bakorexer]

Go kick ricks you racist human Non-American failure.

[Kylehintz87]

Racist human Non-American failure? thats kind of hateful there don't you think?

Tell me again how you define right and wrong, and love and hate? Please, where does your genuine morals stem from again?

Quick lesson for the laymen's.

1.) Prejudice = Judge by outward appearance, not by content of character (inside).

2.) Bigotry = Actual Hate and/or spite towards someone or something for whatever reason, legitimate or not.

3.) Racism = Genetic Superiority of one race over another.

[bakorexer]

"evil greedy rich white people stealing billions"

This is not Racist?

[460x]

This Ryan guy needs to drop it and bow down to our socialist overlords.

[ntf284]

Let Ryan speak for the GOP more often. Please.

[jerfurth]

Good thing C-Span had this otherwise this would never have been heard. Thanks for the poster for posting this.

[SeraphsSword]

OBAMA.... One Big Ass Mistake America! that about sums it up no???

[SheersMan]

Then again, Christ is God of the universe (the last statement looks foolish), and He will usher in the Perfect government, just meaning that Ryan has a good future ahead of him...he has shortcomings just like we all do. Bottom line is we have been free as a nation, by God's grace, for over 200 years...that is coming to a close the more Obama is in power, unless we who enjoy freedom stand up for it.

[SheersMan]

Until Christ returns, there is no perfect politician, but the bottom line is we need more Paul Ryans and less Barack Obamas.

[360whiplash]

Obama spent his whole entire first year in office trying to push his healthcare agenda instead of trying to fix the economy and making this country better. He's still has'nt giving up on it even though millions of people don't want it. He's like a car salesmen who refuses to accept no for an answer.

[SheersMan]

Probably because he hates America, freedom, capitalism and most of all us.

[dubya12825]

Paul has a widow peak. I'm on to something.

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

Obama has already made up his mind long before this so called "summit."

[WhereDidItAllGo7]

Obama is full of sh*T. Tyring to control the whole d@mn thing!

[EmoSurfer1982]

HE looks like the guy off of Dollhouse

[CrimeReport]

Be sure that Paul Ryan will be labeled a racist within hours of this being broadcast.

Anyone who humiliates president zero is a racist.

[irishdogclock]

As a Republican Wisconsinite, I can assure you he can run circles around the President and his policies. Look for him {Ryan} to run and win, win, win.

[toddolavi]

Paul Ryan is a smart guy.

If he was black he would easily be the next president.

[mrbobbytx]

Awesome!

One of the best clips from the day.

[flowerpower6161]

I also think that Paul Ryan was cut short twice because the Dems were afraid that people might realize how smart and sophisticated Republican ideas are.

[flowerpower6161]

Paul Ryan is one of my favorites, real FAVORITES with one exception. He voted to clawback the AIG bonuses by authorizing a 90% tax which essentially amounted to a bill of attainder. It was a populist vote and not a clear thinking level headed exercize of his power.

He has since tried to explain his reasoning (but not to my satisfaction).

I truly hope that his vote was the beginning of a journey as he matures into his position. I have such high hopes for him.

[stotty295]

Paul Ryan sums up the philosophical difference quite nicely.

[BrewCrew67]

It's interesting to hear republicans talk without the MSM filter. They actually make a lot of sense.
