GOP to Obama: "It's Time to Start Over"

[pchtermino1]

This guy is covered by government healthcare. Really think he gives a damn about you.

[ManACanadian]

Why is it so hard for some Americans to comprehend that making money and profit out of people's misery and pain is WRONG. The Canadian system is as good if not better that the US and it even costs less tax "per citizen". In Canada the focus is quality care while maintaining cost. In US, it is the god of greed and the religion of money first.

[barrieev]

I would give Mr. Boustany some more respect for this message, apparently aimed at a bipartisan spirit of compromise, if it weren't for the fact that under 8 years of Bush, they didn't attempt any real health care reform. I think they're saying we'll talk reform until we can stall this legislation to death and then we can go back to....whatever it is they do.

[LordAmbitious]

this speech is a perfect reason as to why to never ever write your response prior to hearing what your responding to.

[JoeTheActorGuy]

As Alan Grayson loves to point out :The GOP plan is don't get sick and if you do get sick, die quickly. If there was another actual plan, they'd tell us what it is. BTW, how many malpractice lawsuits HAS this guy lost when practicting medicine? Bipartisanship? Uh, this is a democracy and you lost the election.

[blacksmithe1]

One we have never been a "democracy", look on our U.S. Seal. If it were a democracy you would be voting on anything and everything, we are a Representative Republic, just like Rome was. Two, with the democratice healthcare bill, if you dont get health insurance you can be fined or put in jail. The government would have full access to all your records since they can already look at your bank records, and phone records. I just want someone to name me one thing the gov can run right

[JoeTheActorGuy]

Sorry it took me so long to respond. You see, I received a quality education from a public university so I stay busy at a job that's possible because we live in a country protected by the US military, made safe by police and fire depts, and that i get to on public roads. I've worked in the corporate world for 25 years. where I've seen some appallingly bad management. So can you clarify your point about govt. doing things right?

[blacksmithe1]

All but education are all constitutionally the duty of the govt. Medicare, Medicade, Social Security, so called "Homeland Security. I will say, I have never been arrested but i wholly and completely believe and have seen many police abuse, misuse and commit conspiracy. I know of a few illegal instances with "Homeland Security". I have been asked to stay quiet about them, it happend in southern illinois. So no I really have no trust or respect for the government. I also served in the navy.

[GlennFink]

Rep. Boustany - you are full of crap. Thanks for trying to make things even worse on your constituents for the benefit of your corporate health care contributors.

Rep. Boustany has received $1,256,056 from health and insurance interests since first being elected in 2004. The total counts for more than 20 percent of all of his fundraising.

[kosnmotion]

GOP is such a total joke and a bunch of racist liars. The only reason why they don't want to pass healthcare is because it's not on their watch. Keep it up Reflublicans you will never be in office again

[baerbrown]

Here's a thought... next time listen to the President's speech before you comment on it. Duh!!!! "Start over" is code for let's kill this idea.. How stupid does the GOP think we are? Oh wait, I forgot about the Wall Street bail out, never mind.

[Tired2013]

I think it's odd that you are trying to work on a healthcare system for all Americans while on FREE healthcare. If you more like us you just might be working a little harder on solving this national issue.

[SkeltonKid]

YOU LIE!

[mafarmerga]

If the GOP really felt this way why haven't they done a damn thing about in the past 8 years??

They don't want to reduce the "fear and anxiety" hell that is their ticket to getting elected.

We're #37 in health care thanks to these Bozos. Why should we give a rat's behind what the GOP has to say?

[MrTikitube]

Its amazing the four points this guy speaks about have already been mentioned by Obama, yet none of these GOP hypocrites have voiced any support. Nor will they take on the INS COS because of contributions and lobbiest.

Truth be told, no way the GOP is going to agree to anything, even if it was 98% their plan, so as to not give any victory to Obama. That's the sad truth in all of this. Sadly the DEMS do the same. The political system is broken, beyond repair most likely.

[normsiler]

You Republicans routinely start over. And over and over.

Here we are, sending troops to the land where Osama bin Laden remains on the loose -- and all those years during a previous president leave us now faced with just as threatening a Taliban menace as in 2001. Same for health care. You didn't accomplish any improvements -- not even little ones -- while in complete control.

And, now in the minority in Congress and no viable candidate for president, all you can demand is that we start over.

[1NoahOne]

also Repubs need to make a real plan. They don't have a bill with numbers in it.

[1NoahOne]

Lots of hypocrisy. Republicans have been everything BUT willing to help.

[popcap200]

we're number 37

[technotony1227]

hey, u rednecks, type "we're #37" to see why you go bankrupt anytime you need the hospital.

[Leuthesius]

My point is that they can go make their own. The education system has bred most of our [x] generation to be sub-servant, mindless, autonomous drones.

You wonder why the people who make good money are the ones who don't have a boss. I am my own boss, which is why I make good money.

[MrTg17]

Same old crap from Obamanites!

Instead of bitching on YouTube all day why don't most of you have real jobs? That's why the nation is in trouble, becuase you all think Obama is going to take America's wealth and spread it out to all the losers!

[Leuthesius]

AMEN.

I'm a "starving college student" and I pull in about average $600-$1000/month working 10 to 30 hours a month. It's called "Getting off your Ass", and going and pulling your own damned weight.

[BoloBouncer]

Then you're not starving. There are people that look for jobs every day and can't find them.

[pickledbill]

Better cash in on that stripping job while you can or else the cocaine and booze is gonna catch up to you.

[bool452]

"costs are rising" because of our sadistic profit-making, price gouging health care system. THIS is what we can't afford!

[zzzfore]

Dr. Boustany sued for medical malpractice by eight patients. Now he should be sued by the American people for boring us to death.

[644delsol]

republicans have their head up in their rear, and this idiot is repeating what the President said, wasn't he paying attention or was he bz tweeting during the President's speech??? republican dumb ass.

[JoeTheActorGuy]

Wooho! We're No. 37 worldwide in quality of health care and we get to pay twice as much for it as other developed countries. Thanks Reaganites for putting the USA on the road to being a 3rd world country. It only took a generation of deregulation, shifting taxes to working people, and fear-mongering but you managed to do it.

[diezungen]

It's not the stupidity of republicans that's so appalling ... it's how they're so PROUD of being morons.

After all, we have the 37th best health care in the world.

[astro3517]

we don't agree with obama lies, if he wants comunist go to

africa.

[644delsol]

Astro3517,

You show your stupidity with your comment.

[RaginCelt]

Louisiana hasn't changed that much from the days of Huey Long.

[danfs]

What's with these R responses from Louisiana? Shades of Piyush 'Bobby' Jindal. Well, maybe not as bad as Piyush, but still weak, weak, weak.

[garywdavis6151944]

Let's see how many Republican member of Congress will work with Obama on eliminating the preexisting conditions limitation. I'm betting fewer than five. The GOP has badly marginalized itself and as an Eisenhower Republican that's something I very much regret.

[mikey3k]

This was a horrible speech! Epic fail!

[dmoney7867]

This is contradictory, and just points out the underhandedness in the ROP true intentions.

The ROP is out of touch with the american public we did not want to hear it is time to start over. We want health care reform accomplish; not delay!

We have the #37 health care system. France has #1. That is all you need to know.

[dmoney7867]

Now the ROP harps about the deficit. When the ROP was in power, I didn't hear anything about the growing deficit. Just spend spend spend.

This is a poor ploy used by the ROP to try to win back some momentum/favor with the American public.

The ROP needs health care reform to fall flat on the faces of the democratic party and have to derail it.

Later in the video, the ROP claims 'meaningful reform needs to be pass soon'. Well why are you stayin it time to start over?

[DigitalAquarius]

GOP to Obama: NO! NO! NO! If you succeed, WE LOSE! SO NO! We dont CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE! Just NO. NO NO NO. NO to improving our health care. NO to reform. NO to fixing our country. NO to helping the millions of suffering Americans. NO. NO.

GOP THE PARTY OF NO.

And they call others UN AMERICAN.

The most Un American thing you can do is deny people the very basic right of health.

Nobody can argue that health is a human beings most important element. Without health, there is no life.

[JamJells]

Were not taking your Bull Shit anymore Republicons! Stop blowing smoke up our ass and fix health care or get another jawb!

[prd34]

This is so funny -- a Republican trying to sound Democratic. Come on! Give us a break! We know you only support the corporations who will be giving you a job once you retire from the congress. Do you really think we are that stupid. Republicans have been on the side of blocking universal health care throughout the history of the USA.

[beingforitse1f]

republicans would fuck a hole in the ground if the insurance companies told them to

[citizenlizard]

republicans are ready to suck off corporate lobbyists...(but I agree about the junk lawsuits)

[TheGOPsux]

Big failed response. Republicans are condescending. Bobby Jindal part 2

[treid100182]

Obama is the man. Plain and simple.

[l0gically]

That headline is wrong - GOP didn't tell Obama, Obama told GOP that it's time to start over (now that all the lies have been dispelled, I assume).

NOW you care about piling huge debt onto our children? What happened with Iraq? What happened with the initial bailout? What happened to all the other debt that was accumulated under Bush?

1. How will this *lower* costs?

2. coops?

3. Subsidies?

4. Incentives? Why can't they do that now?

[Roonskii]

SNL is going to knock this out of the fuckin park.

[soopi49]

This country has been in debt since Eisenhower sold our souls to the banking cartels. piss off you wanker.

[geordany11]

republicans got to stop bringing these morrons to national tv..first it was some indian guy from louisiana now this retard that looks like the former priminister of england blair...stupid fucks..please republicans keep people like sarah palin and this dude away from national tv....this guy looks like a clownd...

[rosstube]

ME TO GOP: stop pretending you suddenly care about this problem. You don't care about anything but money, Jesus, and guns. Otherwise, Bush, Daddy Bush, or Reagan would have tried to champion this idea.

[MrFreedomdemocracy]

Actually the GOP started talking about health care only because Obama started to seriously talk about an health care reform and they shit their pants

[mikey3k]

true that!

[MrFreedomdemocracy]

It's intersting the choice of doctor Charles Boustany, R-La, to respond to Obama.

He has been sued three times for medical malpractices, he is a birther and he tried to buy fake noble titles from the British crown. Together with the other turd Wilson who called Obama Liar they are the wrong notes of a great evening.

Wilson is from South Caroline THE LIAR STATE (Gov. Sanders)

[geordany11]

lol

[MrWasp420]

omg talk about lipstick on a pig. obama's bullshit is getting really deep now. i would almost support him if he would just shut the fuck up for five minutes. all he does is talk. he has failed and lied over and over.

[teagarden8650]

Palin/Jeb Bush 2012!!

[rw5791]

palin yes,but jeb bush is an illegal lovin' a-hole jus' like his brother.

[monroeward]

This is the best the GOP could do? I just saw this guy a couple of hours ago, and can't watch him again.

Turns out this guy is a "birther" along with a few other shady connections

[DAVIDSILVERCA]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, oh what, who is this guy? He wants to START OVER when his party lies through its teeth and scares our seniors? Fuck off! OBAMA was on his game tonight!!! Great to see the President I voted for.

[bugjones30]

The layoffs, the downturn, the bad economy are only the result of the last eight years of Bush politics.

[thrawn42]

This guy takes a breath and you know he's a snake oil salesman

[pseudolover]

H.R. 3200: Sec 246 — NO FEDERAL PAYMENT FOR UNDOCUMENTED ALIENS Nothing in this subtitle shall allow Federal payments for affordability credits on behalf of individuals who are not lawfully present in the United States.

[grahambanks]

Wow, I didn't know KMart still sold suits.

[Pitchblack07]

Who wants to start over? Really. I think most of the republicans want to kick this can down the street again.

[partweed]

I am Dr. Charles Boustany and I'm here representing the Republican I Got Mine Fuck You Commission of Rich Doctors of The South Will Rise Again, Boy.

[monroeward]

LOL!! Well said, well spoken!

[thinkresultz]

I am Dr. Charles Boustany and I'm here to sell you another MRI treatment.

[TheSeanww3]

true~

[onemanarmy34]

well thats what washingtion sounds like

[xxxFaustusxxx]

I don't know much about politics, but this guy doesn't sound sincere at all.
