Compromise or Corruption?: The CBS Evening News Examines the Senate Health Bill

[TheSweetyloves]

this is why when obama got elected we called the fuckin place the black house it houses a real spook freaking us out and i'm not liking this the retards should of known his name obama hussein=osama,hussein and bin laden i believe hes the mark of the beast

[Sheeple101]

Now what has it become with the state of affairs. We have seen it has all been a lie from the start and they think we are stuck now. We have to prove Barry Soetoro is not legally the president and all that was signed goes in the trash as fraud... sheeple101Com

[AtlasShruggery]

If the health care bill was as favorable to the health insurance companies as the Republicans claim it is, Republicans wouldn't ne opposing it.

[micsc50]

DemocRATs don't do anything good for America. If they want to do something good they should all commit suicide NOW!

[StinkingHombre]

If you Republican stiffs don't get off your fat greedy asses and call bullshit on Mr. Obama's missing birth certificate I'll never vote for one of you worthless fuckers again! You also need to call bullshit on Nebraska and the whole fucking health care debacle!

[CasperCee]

StinkingHombre What's amazing is that many Americans STUPID enough to actually think or believe that Obama & his ship of fools are actually trying to help America: how many jobs did his stimulus package create? NONE; did it help our economy? NO; while Americans are still losing jobs, what are his #1 priorities? Pushing his Cap (tax) & Trade - based on the HOAX of global warming & passing Obamacare - which will cost Americans millions of dollars & decrease the quality of healthcare.

[StinkingHombre]

@CasperCee - Well Cap, I was a Republican since I became old enough to vote, I'll never be a Democrat or a liberal but I get sick to my stomach watching the current greedy Republican bastards squander Reagan's great legacy.  I respect McCain but I couldn't vote for him, the first time I didn't participate in a Presidential election. He needs to retire to one of his multiple palaces. I am also sick of them giving Obama a free pass not to prove where he was born! They are sucking up to a usurper.

[CasperCee]

StinkingHombre I did not vote for McCain either. I voted AGAINST Obama because I did thorough research on him before the election. I am not surprised by any of his decisions. He is a fraud & the only promise he's keeping that he made during the campaign is that he's "changing" America. He needs to be stopped.

The writing was on the wall about Obama and Americans just ignored it. Anita Dunn, the Mao praiser is gone. But he's got many other wack-jobs, like Kevin Jennings, that are just as bad.

[StinkingHombre]

@CasperCee - They should be going after Obongo tooth and fucking nail on everything especially his dubious Hawaiian nativity mythology. They need to take their boots of the heads of the middle class and scrap their "hooray for me, fuck you" attitude towards ordinary Americans. They need to call bullshit on all the Maoists in the White House!

[bigdogsdontbark]

Glad to see CBS is attempting to do the news again.

[tommyde8]

It is all about contraol and the re-distribution of wealth.

Change..........that's all you will have in your pocket when this administration is over.

[aSingleDallasGuy]

What a bunch of corrupt scum bags! It's funny how they try to target the insurance companies as evil, then the truth is the politicians are the evil ones. This bill will end up with still millions of people uninsured right back where it started. So, this was never about the uninsured just like the Auto bailouts and bank bailouts was about neither. Nor is the so called global warming about global warming. This is about socialism and control. It's undeniable. Bend over, here comes that change!

[linkin622]

people should refuse to pay taxes....hit them where it hurts

[DillonX]

Insurance Companies --- 10

The American Public ------ 0

[rollsthepaul]

This is a long way past sad; it is well into aggravated assault. The USA is over when this type of corruption and the pathetic nature of the GOP, is called American government at it's finest. I suppose the upcoming crash and burn of the US dollar, will be a "minor setback".

[linkin622]

very sad state of affairs...........these people, democrat and republican alike are destroying our country.........honor and integrity is unknown in DC no change here at all.....we'll try again in 2012 to find an honest person to lead the country .

[rollsthepaul]

The game is rigged; American presidents are selected, not elected.

[hydin1]

and so they are both fucked up and that doesn't make it OK. socialism = slavery. Reelection is a certainty for sure (not) good by

[Mwaterfall]

People

It is ashame!

But Republicans are just as guilty as Democrats... So Republicans shouldn't even point the finger!

Remember they had their turn in dominanting Congress and bringing the country into war under Bush! Now, its the Democrats turn with a black man who believes more in peace than all-out war..

So Republicans are REALLY upset and shouldn't judge, because they haven't done anything like this for the country.

So now the health care bill is passed!

Merry Christmas

[themunz126]

@Mwaterfall you act as if democrats did not vote for the war, they did. They voted for it and funded it, they just pointed fingers and the MSM ate it up and spit it back out at us.

[naggold]

Definitely corruption! Hopefully the Supreme Court will overturn it.

[AtlasShruggery]

If the health care bill was a gift to the insurance companies, RepubliCons wouldn't be opposing it.

[MrJeggus]

You are correct sir.

[themunz126]

@AtlasShruggery check their stocks, they soared this week. Insurance companies make 3% profit, while NYS alone taxes 9% on everything related to medicine and medical treatment and they have NOTHING to do with it at all! Who is really screwing us?

[AtlasShruggery]

Many stocks soared this week. The market abhors uncertainty.

Do you actually think the health insurance companies are losing money? Do you know anything about insurance company accounting?

If the health care bill was favorable to the health insurance companies, Republicans wouldn't be opposing it.

[themunz126]

I dont think that they are losing money, i just said that they make about 3% or less. they lead the rally this week, These are facts, get over your republican / democratic bs. Obama did his own deals with insurance over this, why do you think AARP supported this BS? Time you looked at FACTS, instead of democrat / republican BS.

[quizerry]

The biggest bill of bribery, extortion, fraud and corruption. If this does not wake people up we are in real trouble. They just spent another 3 trillion of your money.

To say this bill is deficit neutral is a pure lie. Medicaid's frist 5 years the actuall cost was 3 times higher then estimated. This bill is a huge expansion of medicaid. A huge increase in taxes and spending and an expansion of our failed system. This isn't reform it is another big gov takeover we the people will pay dearly for.

[Mwaterfall]

@quizerry

I dread a government takeover... but Republicans are just as guilty of bribery, extortion, fraud and corruption

So... Democrats are not perfect - But Republicans (criticizing) has not done anything for America's health, but when they had the house, undermined America's economy and brought us into War. And there was bribery, fraud and corruption behind the Bush Administration.

I just say this: Please DO NOT JUDGE

[quizerry]

Yes and it is time to fire all of them of the 535 in the House and Senate I can only think of 11 that are worth keeping. We need change in theis Country not more and bigger corruption. They no longer work for the people. We have been the most powerful economy for over 200 years even with our down times. Because of our Constitution and they are destroying it. I don't wnat to be like other Nations with no economic growth no incentive no freedom. Do you?

[Mwaterfall]

@quizerry

And who do you think will fill the HOUSE and SENATE, and consider our health care and NOT bring us into war...

Republicans???

quizerry, instead of critizing, we have to work with what we got. We sure don't need a Republican dominated Congress like we had during the Bush Administration.

We are paying for them and Bush now, because of corruption!

[DillonX]

Whore Lieberman caused us all to be screwed.

Look for Insurance Company stock to double.

Look for The American Public to suffer.

[anotherfoolonthehlLL]

How can you sweeten a deal with OTHER PEOPLE'S money? How can these people NOT GET ARRESTED?

[Sheeple101]

I guess you will learn that the ones that would do the arresting are also on the payroll.

[anotherfoolonthehlLL]

Well, I'm thinking more like... some military general who's got some balls should organize and storm the White House or Senate, and round everybody up. Nobody ever considered that the attack this time came from inside.

[vllmer]

CBS = mmm! mmmm! mmmm!

[takerdust]

Change we can believe in

[HollywoodWags]

Wow, all of a sudden CBS decides to do hard reporting?

Who is it that makes these decisions? It is almost as if they plan things out, they decide when to cover news, when to make it important to their organization...and almost always, hard news reporting is reserved for destroying Conservatives.

So what's with this...iI guess it is a shock to Katie that a guy from Chicago politics might actually be a slimebag. She is so smart, she figured this out all on her own.

[qualityrkc]

@HollywoodWags katie?

[robertlbryant]

Did anyone else catch the look on Couric's face when she said, "And this sure won't hurt when these Senators are up for re-election, will it?"

Are the people in these states so stupid as to actually like pork spending in huge amounts coming to them from the pockets of the nation?

Oh wait, that was just what these "journalists" were trying to tell us.

Also, I fail to see how Congress thinks it's their job to get things for their state. They are supposed to represent us, not grab money for us.

[Reggie1971]

Change you can believe in!

Obama voters = suckers

[paulo1149]

Despicable. Some transparent administration. This is so bad that the MSM is actually touching on it, though it's democrat. Watch out, America; God is just.

[RogerOnTheRight]

The Democrats never intended to end the "culture of corruption". The just want to run it.

[derihar]

"Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats won majorities in both chambers of Congress by running against the culture of corruption, pledging to operate openly and honestly on Capitol Hill. Two years later, Barack Obama rode to victory by pledging to change the way Washington DC operates, declaring that he would lead the most open and transparent government ever." -Wise Blogger

Hope&Change inc. in action.

[Raycheetah]

At what point does this perfidy cross over into treason? =0[.]o=

[RogerOnTheRight]

@Raycheetah We're already there.
