Jake Tapper Amuses Obama w/ 'Spock-Like Language' Reference, Obama Responds: 'A Crack on My Ears?'

[whatswrongwithyouful]

indeed sir a massive crack on your massive ears

[erwintipton]

Now,,,, if the goverment could do the same to the oil companys gas would not be so high .

[Binford8100]

Public Healthcare == Faschism == killing 6 million jews for people healthcare == USAmeriKKKas stupidity == howthehelldidweloseWWIIagainst­thesebaffoons???

[lunhil12]

Sad to see the public option go. Seems some thought that having a middleman(insurance companies)who was in it only to sponge the system for profit was good for our health, go figure. Thanks to them we pay more for health care by far than any other country yet we have so many without or with inadequate coverage.

[collegeman1988]

Obama's new plan will guarantee that everyone will have no health care AND no job!

[pillypopper]

America = debt = will have to pay someday = unknown

[nikhilb123]

Jake tapper really knows how to make politicians piss themselves.

[surfingsuicune]

Hey, look, it's the rarest footage of all: Obama holding a press conference. How long has it been now since Barry held a press conference? Guess that whole 'transparency' thing he promised was just another crock of shit.

[DarkLordCallMeDickC]

Obama is the man.

[neuroticnikk1701]

you mean Tuvok, not Spock, he is black

[sbaruas]

Bahahahahhah his ears are kinda like spocks! haha

[skykingjwc]

He's no Spock. I doubt Spock would see the logic is printing up money and bailing out failing companys that deserve to fail.

[porsche62689]

I agree that the people responsable need to fail but you need to take into consideration the ripple effect. Thousands of people ( some good ) would lose everything. Then the ripple goes out further..what if one of the people who worked there or owned stock there also owned a small business? Then they lose that, people cant use them for their needs and the ripple grows....multiply that times thousands and the loses are more outreaching then we sometimes care to think. You never know when a...

[porsche62689]

a descision made thousands of miles away will effect you in some way. This countrys problems started long before he came into office and its going to take some spending ( unfortunantly ) to get us out. Its how its spent thats important; either way there is no way around spending money.People can mud sling all they want. Its the default. There has never been a president that didnt go through this and there never will be. Wait 4 years and then complain.

[porsche62689]

Till then, there is nothing you can do but except he IS the president. And if it bothers you that bad? There are great rates right now for ticketes to Fiji...which is as far away from the US you can get before you start coming back. So if you think its that bad...you can always leave. :] personally...we have it better than a lot of countries so Id count your blessings if i were you.

[Paolo7219]

Employers do NOT want a public option! PERIOD. Why? Many employers use health care benfits as a weapon: an employer can work their employees HARDER if their employees need their jobs for their health care. Take that "bargaining chip" away from employers and employees can switch jobs much more easily. This is why employers HATE national health care even though national health care is cheaper for employers.

[charlesknx]

5:00 so what he's basically saying is the Gov will not make you change plans, but if the "Public Option" (which is funded by the People's money, of which there is of course an unlimited supply; see AIG, GM) becomes more viable and efficient than the Private plans (which is unlikely... see USPS vs UPS or FEDex), then the employer may choose the Govt plan. So, essentially, it's a lie that you can "keep your current doctor."

The long, painful decline has begun

[baronmorris]

decline from what? you must work for / own stock in HMO's or some corrupt-ass insurance company. what he's doing is long overdue. people should not profit from illness and death to such a degree that so many must go without treatment.

peace to all.

VIVA OBAMA!

[nddavi58]

no, actually i haven't read his book. lemme guess--does the title have anything to do with HOPE? a word used 10,000 fuckin times in the election and even now? and yes i do contribute to society, i volunteer at catholic charities, i have a job as a tutuor at a junior high school in which i help underperforming kids raise their grades, all while being a full time college student. So while you post 20+ comments about how u suck obamas dick and how hes a god, i'm making a difference out there.

[charlesknx]

nope. i am a freelance jazz musician and statistically probably considered "poor" in our country. reforming the system is overdue, you are right. "what he is doing" is not. it has been tried and failed. it is called Socialism. this is the decline of which I speak.

it seems (from the stats) that Americans want to overeat, smoke, drink, not exercise, and, in sadly increasing numbers, expect their neighbors to pay for their surgeries brought on by an irresponsibly-lived life.

[porsche62689]

you know? not all socialistic ideas are bad. what do you thinkn social security is? bc ill bet youd LOVE to have that when your breaking your hips just trying to walk. * "irresponsibly lived lifes"..hmm...ok what about those children who couldnt help who their parents were and how they lived? you cant punish the innocent. and most of the wealthy these days are people who inherited it, they didnt earn it, so they owe a little something for having it so damn easy. & people who work at McD's pay...

[porsche62689]

taxes too. you act as if its just certain people who are chosen to have "money taken from them" i remember a crappy fast food job when i was in high school, i have NEVER cared to pay taxes bc its fair, id rather help a sick stranger get better than have him potentially spread a sickness that could have been prevented and my child catch it....RIPPLE EFFECT. stop being so selfish....

[Dronetek1]

Nice diversion for the bullshit hes about to spread.

[howdythere34]

Ya I agree....awesome are you fucking kidding me? Brainwashed and on crack. Remember this guy has not run anything, not even a lemonade stand. You think he put people around him that did either?? No. Pretty easy to have a bunch of bright ideas when your spending other peoples money.....you idiots.................

[baronmorris]

look howdy doody... if you can't recognize that Obama is the most sincere, reasonable, empathetic, and intelligent leader this country has had in the last 50 years, then something is wrong with your mental wiring. Good luck with that. Have you read his two fine books? Have you written any yourself? and who would you like to see in charge? I'm sure it will make for a good laugh.

;-)

Viva Obama!

[howdythere34]

Are you shitting me? Personally there is nobody out there right now that I think would do worth a shit so chew on that. Great leaders seem to be in small order..and as far as mental wiring? Maybe you should get yours checked.....brainwashing can be a two way road my friend...uh er strike that because i dont think a person like you'd ever be my friend i hate to say. Keep dreaming and keep watching dip shit

[porsche62689]

howdy...its gonna take more than FIVE F*CKING MONTHS to fix what that douche im sure you did vote for ( or would have accoring to your age ) Bush did. Sorry hun, but i highly doubt you even slightly have what it takes to run a country so stop runnin your dick suck as if you could do any better. Lets get around 400 screaming politicians from both sides along with millions of very pissed off private citizens barking at you and lets see how you manage...

[baronmorris]

nicely done, porsche62689!

;-) cheers!

[porsche62689]

He is trying to satisfy everyone at once so people like you will shut the hell up but fast is not good enough for you, people like you want it right now and thats just not happening. It took 8 years to cause this and like hell if its gonna get fixed before his first year is up so please ATLEAST wait until his term is up and then talk cause this crap is gettin old

[howdythere34]

Are you really that dumb? No shit it take more then 8 mths, and of course you'd assume i'd like bush..see another stupid assumption...not much difference really between the two. I suppose in your household when you have debt you go buy anothe porsche and spend money...we'll see what happens...we will wait and see......

[porsche62689]

ok? One, my name is Porsche, and two, we have no debt because we manage our money, three, wtf do you think money is for? four, i drive a jeep. So whos throwing around the "assumptions". Sounds like you lack the ability to use facts to make arguments and instead cling to the most ridiculous things like a user name to make a point in which you do not even fully understand the situation. Please, save the childish jibberish for the sandbox :)

[nddavi58]

boy--you and obama should get a room together you sound so much in love. kind of like our fake ass media.

[baronmorris]

very original.

(not)

have you read his books?

what have you done today to make the world a better place?

who did you vote for these last few elections?

answer these questions, I dare you.

;-)

VIVA OBAMA!

[nddavi58]

obama is working for white elitists, the oligarchy. obama has the most liberal voting record in the senate, which means he pretty much nods his head to any fuckin idea that anybody thinks of. He wants bigger gov't, he was in cohoots wit Tony Rezko,obama used funds to build a hospital wing to illegally give his wife a 200,000 dollar raise. obama ran the 12th district of chicago, a slum in which he did absolutely nothing to revive it. obama lied about pulling troops out immediately.

[baronmorris]

LIBERAL (textbook definition)

Not limited to established, traditional, orthodox, or authoritarian

attitudes, views, or dogmas; free from bigotry.

Favoring proposals for reform, open to new ideas for progress & tolerant

of the ideas & behavior of others; broad-minded.

willing or marked by a willingness to give unstintingly. :-D

if ur the opposite of that, u suck!

[SoHumorous]

Who cares about his books? Who cares what one of us may have done to make the world a better place? He's the president. He has the power to affect change. He had the power to affect change for his 12th district. What has he done w/ his ability to affect change?

Public healthcare right now = VA health care and it sucks. Why would this publich health care be any different?

[baronmorris]

From the Cradle to the Grave,

the FECAL SHRAPNEL OF CONSERVATISM DESTROYS LIVES!

if they had their way:

Pro-life = NO abortion (mutilated women & lives) What then becomes of unwanted children? NO Sex Ed to prevent unplanned pregnancy. NO free Pre-Natal care for the impoverished, NO Universal Health, NO Public Housing, NO Welfare, NO Public Education, Punitive (NO rehabilitative) Justice system that criminalizes victimless crimes, until ultimately: YES, DEATH PENALTY!

but life is sacred?

No?

[gstanton95]

lol, way to spew liberal media nonsense and have no understanding of the subject matter.

Has sex-ed been successful?

Why are the 'impoverished' having babies?

Healthcare is not a right, our fed gov't is not empowered to give provided it. Ditto w/ housing, education, welfare.

Our justice system rehabilitates criminals?

Innocent life is sacred.

[porsche62689]

??you sir nddavi58 just made my list of some of the most stupid reply comments i have ever gotten. People like you have no arguments really...you just bark random BS that you hear. You dont [really] know whats going on, you just hear the people around you (i.e your parents/friends) bitching about the economy and obama and repeat what you hear (mostly older people). lol and about the media, well duh, when they own the information they can control it all they want...thanks for stating the obvious.

[nddavi58]

oh i wasn't replying to u anyway. and i dont' know whats going on? this shits all on the internet, look it up. plus the media is mostly liberal, so if a person realizes the truth about someone, then u know they're on to something. and about the old people comment, i know alot of old ppl and they voted for obama. u are a dumb ass white entitled cracker piece of honkey shit.

[porsche62689]

What is all on the internet exactlly? The media is the media. There is not more one side than the other. They follow where the money goes...if its popular to like the conservatives, then thats what they do and same goes vis versa. I know of older people who voted for Obama as well but the majority voted for the right. And as far as the name calling in the last setence that just goes to show what pathetic lows you drop to when someone proves you wrong. lol. silly.

[sergioconvers]

Viva el presidente Obama! Long live President Obama!

[rollsthepaul]

Healthcare will be a rocky road because this is a big change and it is happening quickly. This is the price that must be paid for not addressing this gradually over the past 30 years. Of course there will be lots of fuck-ups, that's the way it works.

[baronmorris]

How can anyone not like Obama?

What an awesome President!

peace.

[gmaniac1]

You're on crack and quite the sheep!

[mysteryegg]

and your blinded by hate.

[baronmorris]

have you read Obama's two books? bc I have. I guarantee you I am quite well-informed and clear-sighted on political matters.

Peace
