President Barack Obama "The Great Capitulator!" Backs Down!

[captainkill1]

yeah the poor is going to steal from the rich now to pay for health great. that 1% of America. lol. this guy is a fucktard.

[johnrussellCD5]

Triptow... WHAT are you talking about? We got the pos NON-Health reform that is merely a means of ensuring that the pro-profit anti patient anti-provider Health INSURANCE Industry errr "Death Panels" remain in power! MEdicare for ALL including you Triptow is the ONLY reform that works for you and provides meaningful competition and balance vs the Death Panel Insurance companies. BTW, I provide health care FOR cancer patients! J R

[triptows]

I hope this guy singing goes to the hospital and finds he has cancer and dies of cancer, cause he cannot afford to fix it. Only the wealthy should live longer for sure cause you do not make the money!!! Like the rest of us fool.....

[keaz]

Dude you think you have talent? NOT SO MUCH...you SUCK....

[tampabayproductions]

waht a no talent progressive stooge. Progressives and Brain Damage from huffing paint seem to go together.

[johnrussellCD5]

EVERYONE... Count Obama among "The Bought and Paid For!"

[johnrussellCD5]

In the interest of being PERFECTLY CLEAR... President Obama has proven himself to be a COMPLETE CORPORATIST as I predicted more than 3 years ago.

This guy WILL be a ONE termer for sure as he has LOST his base of naive people who were unable to see thru his towering rhetoric!

He continues to be a formidable speaker of definitively little substance! ALL TALK and NOOOO action at least on OUR behalf! People are NOT stupid enough to buy this TROJAN Horse again! John R.

[adpina]

The government buys and outsources many things to privatized companies, most of the success of the military are not owed to the government but to the privatized companies who build the technology that keeps us safe. We have some of the best doctors and medicine in the world because it is privatized.

[johnrussellCD5]

Privatization has ZERO to do w/ how good our doctors are! Your comments demonstrate clearly your youthful inexperience as well as your naivete. BTW the Medicare is far more efficient in its delivery of health care services than is the private insurance industry. Ido NOT bTW support this Senate Piece of CRAP! Go read my Plan on my website... THAT is WHAT I advocate and is THE singular means of solving the health care dilemma! J Russell MS/ARNP MBA, HCSM 2006-08 DEm Nominee US Hse, Dist5 Fl

[adpina]

I guess if it was up to you John and Melody the government would provide you with everything taking from the people who put in hardwork to build a corporation. You know what a corporation does, it provides jobs, technological advances, and the reality that if you work hard you can make it to the top. If you think the government can do a better job running health care you are mistaken. The government regulates competition to be competitive and bleeds money

[johnrussellCD5]

Adpina... How much experience do you have actually working in Health Care? Do you have ANY idea HOW government works? Well if you had a clue then you would not be writing such FOX NEWS CORPORATIST Drivel! Government is DIRECTED by officials whose campaigns are funded by CORPORATE Lobbyists who are then beholden to The CORPORATION in return for that CA$H! They do NOT represent US! AS a candidate I turned down such BRIBES! JR

[johnrussellCD5]

You know unrelatedmultisylabicman it is you the cast of the ignorant who have always endangered those who actually THINK and rely on FACTS! YOU"parrot" MINDLESSPROPAGANDA spewed 24/7 from the Corporatist Media. I used to say if you had a brain you would be dangerous... Today however it is the preponderance of people w/o brains with the concomitant INABILITY TO REASON FOR THEMSELVES THAT ENDANGERS THE FUTURE OF A NATION. Watch George Carlin's video "OWNERS OF AMERICA..." TimeWellSpent! JR

[mamabw]

Ok you guys which one of YOU will pay for this? If Ms America wants to EAT whatever she wants & get FAT & MORE unhealthy, we will pay for her care! If Mr America chooses NOT to take his meds & requires mega health care bills will YOU pay his bills or will CORPORATE AMERICA? Let me guess NOT YOU!!!

[johnrussellCD5]

Would you please look up the origins of as well as the definition of the term INSURANCE. While we DO live in a FASCIST state, we still provide care to idiots who do not wear seat belts, ride motorcycles w/o a helmet, people who smoke, people who worship the sun w/o protection, people who drink ETOH and ruin their livers and on and on. What's your vice?

[julierola]

Thank you, John!

My husband & I stood with many dozens of "Public Option" supporters yesterday ... in front of KS Congressman Dennis Moore's office. We had a lot of vehicle support & some predictable dissent (in the least respectful manner ... zheesh ... I think they meant to show "thumbs up", but accidentally showed a different digit ... tee-hee).

Anyway, let's all of us keep the pressure on our elected officials for TRUE health insurance reform.

Thank you so much for your video.

[SingThatMELODY]

(sorry for this long rant).

ONE LAST THING.

congress dems and republicans are having a pretty hard time passing this bill.

FUNNY THING IS. IF CONGRESS WAS TO LOSE ALL THEIR HEALTH CARE PRIVILEGES AS WELL AS QUALITY HEALTH CARE THAT THEY CAN AFFORD, I BET THIS HEALTH CARE REFORM WOULD HAVE ALREADY BEEN PASSED!

[johnrussellCD5]

Thank you Melody for your comments... The problem is that Corporate America ... IS IN CHARGE of our political system through the campgin contributions made by their Corporate Lobbyists which are their employees. The people in Congress/Senate ARE puppets who respond exclusively to them that writes those Campaign Checks. Whens the last time that you bundled a hundred checks each for 2400 bucks a piece? Make sense? Thanks again, John Russell

[SingThatMELODY]

adding on though.

i am VERY embarrassed with my country. as an asian american citizen of the usa, i am in awe as to how health care can be transmuted and distorted as "socialism" "marxist" "gov. takeover" "end of usa power". and the list goes on.

we are number 1 in everything in the world, ESPECIALLY THE MILITARY AND WAR. funny thing is.. we lag so far behind the number one title in health care. USA IS NUMBER 37. HOW EMBARRASSING. really.

[fojeba]

America has been for centuries a country where it was ok for some to have everything and others nothing.Some were masters and some were slaves and today they don't understand why everybody should have healthcare insurance.Why everybody should be treated equally.that's what they see as socialism,marxism.....

[SingThatMELODY]

i don't think you could say that obama backed down to the republicans.

he's still pursuing the health care reform (WHICH CONGRESS SHOULD PASS). since we need 60 members to vote yes for this reform, and only 59 dems in capitol hill, he's trying to appeal to the last couple of republicans (since not all 59 dems will agree).

but. i'm GLAD that obama didn't do anything to joe wilson... it just portrayed wilson as an ass and obama as a pretty humble president.

i loved pelosi's death glare haa

[johnrussellCD5]

Melody, BOTH political parties "play" to the SAME Benefactors... and we ain't THEM! This so-called Health (Insurance) Care Reform is PATHETIC! It is a total gift to the INSURANCE Industry and has ZERO to do w/ expanding access to quality affordable Health Care!

OUR democrats are at least as BAD as the Repubs... Perhaps WORSE due to their facade of representing average folks! Trust me there is Nuthin real about it! John Russell, MS/ARNP, (Acute Care), MBA Health Systems Mgt.

[johnrussellCD5]

As of Wednesday night I think we have our answer....

The President has backed down to the powers that be and may now be regarded and referred to as "The Great Capitulator!"

[bellhops]

You Americans are so screwed up. If we had your health care system in Australia there would be rioting in the streets. We care for our people, rich or poor, insured or uninsured. Healthcare is a right not a privilege. USA you should be ashamed of yourselves

[mikeatindio]

Thank you very much bellhops!! I've been saying this for many years now. This issue has always been avoided, put on the back burners, etc., etc.. Yet we Americans JUMP to send million and even billions of dollars to foreign nations for medical and economic assistance. Hmmmphhh I say. But now, unfortunately, we're in a big financial bind to put it lightly. It's gonna be tough, but IT HAS TO BE DONE! Once again bellhops .... ya hit the nail on the head! Good day mate. have a great one :)

[kraker109]

I'm 15 and I know we need health care reform, our current system just does not work

[Firebase67]

I don't want another Federal program to enslave me more then I already am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­! My mom and dad worked their whole lives paying into ssi, they both died before collecting a single nickle of it!!!!!!! Is that fucking fair??? SSI is still going broke??? How is this???? I don't want fucking health care, I'll take care of it myself, and if others can't do the same, well maybe they should try harder or do without cable and cell phones.

[LakerKev]

How are you enslaved? And I got news for you, plenty of people die before they can take advantage of SSI but it doesnt mean we get rid of it. You know why SSI is going broke? its because Bush raided SSI to pay for his tax cuts in 2001 thats why. And who are you kidding. You can take care of yourself? Fine. Stay the fuck out of the emergency room if you get sick or shot or whatever the fuck. Pour some whiskey on it because I dont want to pay for your non insurance having ass

[Firebase67]

Hey LakerKev I have health insurance; I pay for it myself. I'm glad you misunderstood what I said though, I really enjoyed your pour wiskey on it comment, very clever. :-) Close to 25% of my pay goes to federal income tax, thats nearly 4 months a year that I work for Uncle Spam, so if I'm forced to work for some enity other then myself, in my book that makes me a slave. This does not include state tax, ssi, fmla, medicare, tags, sales tax, and fees. How much more should I give?

[Firebase67]

Oh and one more thing, they have been robbing SSI from the beggining. All of them Dems and Reps. We need to stop the blame game, thats what they count on from us.

[warriorgal1]

Dude, Obama IS NOT THE boss of US! WE THE PEOPLE ARE THE GOVERNMENT. THANK YOU FOR UNITING AMERICANS IN GOD IS OUR TRUST!

[usadefender1]

Please tell me this guy is not an American!

[Amyls64]

YOU look Like William Ayers.

[Iraqveterankill4real]

I dont think it matters what he does now we didnt start this he did.He sank his own ship.Its true. Dont call your people un-american,nazi's,astro-turf,­evil mongerers and at you next townhall why dont you thank the AMERICAN people instead of all your cohorts.Such arrogance will only worsen your postion.And no he did not thank the american people, in fact he said i dont think they should do much talkin.

[michaelchainsaw]

Obama's Health Care Reform is forced Insurance much like that of the auto-industry or the insurance you have on your house.

It's not a single payer system such as the one Kucinich wants....

It's not a free market system such as the one Ron Paul wants...

No. It's a system that empowers the crooks and cons in the Insurance Markets and Big Pharma.

Good video bro. Keep up the good fight!

[johnrussellCD5]

MikeChain Saw I agree... That is why I came up w/ the song.... Obama needs to stop making Deals with the Devils!

I didn't and Obama should follow my lead and turn down these crooks! What does he think? That if he stands up to the insurance/Pharma industries that he won't get re-elected...

I mean if Obama leads on ensuring that Comprehensive Affordable Health Care is available to ALL Americans through a Public Option he will Make History and will sail to re-election even w/ Right Wingers!

[johnrussellCD5]

Thanks Mike! It's the "MoneyParty" Each major party simply one in the same each when in power playing to the same "Drummers" I believe that's evident in my remarks. Believe me when you run for office the path ahead becomes clear... Media, Party Hacks/Leaders... They are ALL in it and dialed in to protect the Status Quo and PREVENT CHANGE! It will be interesting to watch this FAUX DEBATE on Health Care .. play out. Obama will sign a Bill that likely will be BAAD4US! Tks JR

[jxsilicon9]

Then why are they spending millions to block it?

[johnrussellCD5]

JLD We ARE in BIG Trouble... That's WHY I did the video, ran for Congress and everything else that i've done. Just not as you say in your broken english! This is about Health care reform not the Fed though our financial system is a huge disaster as well. More on that at a later date. Right now exposing the Corporate Shills, Liars, Lobbyists and Thugs that run America is more important to me and millions of others! So I am NOT going to Back Down! J R

[hcwcars1]

Single-Payer yes

[johnrussellCD5]

What law firm are you speaking of? A veryyy curious diatribe to be sure...

[johnrussellCD5]

Landshark if you had a brain you would be dangerous. I guess you're familiar w/ kittens in blenders? Then again, you and your peers ARE dangerous because ignorance is the foundation of FASCISM.

I could delete your comment... but I won't because people need to see the ignorance that is embodied in those who are incapable of intelligent discourse and fail to see how their efforts on behalf of the bourgeois are in fact damaging to themselves. 

Sincerely Yours, John Timothy Russell

[SuperEvilC]

You hit the nail right on the head.... FASCIST. These people are not the "new" Nazis, they are the same ones as before. Thanks for not deleting his comment, too... people really do need to see what we're up against. Fear-merchants and Hate-mongers must be driven from out society.

[llandshark]

I hope no one ever has to listen to this again!!!!!!! It was like listening to a kitten in a blender!

Obama hates dumb ppl why are you helping him he wants to force sterilize ppl like you.

Get another hobby!

Peace

Watch Youtube video: The Health Care Bill: What they DON'T want you to know!

[HOMELESSinTAMPA]

Health care should not be a "for profit" commodity. Health care is CARE and NOT insurance. Get the for-profit middle man out! Let the Middle Class have an option to health care. A "choice" is democratic. The poor, seniors, and veterans already have their coverage. What about the rest of us?
