Bloviating Zeppelin: "I don't worry about the Constitution on this to be honest..."

Bloviating Zeppelin

(in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.

"I don't worry about the Constitution on this to be honest..."

Representative Phil Hare says, in re ObakaKare:

I don't worry about the Constitution on this to be honest..."

Really? To confirm, video and transcript here.

In the meantime, this is just the beginning for doctors. The AMA, it turns out, really doesn't represent as many doctors as it apparently thinks.

And I ask: if ObakaKare is all that mind-glazingly wonderful, then:

1. Why isn't Mr Obaka going to take his own medicine? His wife? His children?
2. Why isn't Congress?
3. Why haven't all the Demorat Congressmen and -women gone back to their constituents to crow and howl about the pleasures of ObakaKare?
4. Why is it necessary to say The People will "learn to love it." Yes people, oh you'll learn.

Finally:

If ObakaKare is so glorious and The People are backing him, why is there no massive residual positive bounce to Mr Obaka's polling numbers?

CBS News, never accused of being a right wing media organ, indicates Mr Obaka's polling numbers are the lowest yet, as of April 2nd.

Where's the expected bounce, Mr Obaka? Where, I ask, is the love?

Tom said...: Also - If Obamakare is so great & wonderful, why is Obama still out there touting its benefits? Is he still trying to convince the masses that this government mandate of forced healthcare coverage is the greatest thing since air conditioning and sliced bread?

Pitiful situation, it is...; Sat Apr 03, 08:13:00 AM PDT
Rivka said...: You are correct. Many Doctors DON'T want Obamacare and AREN'T in lockstep with the AMA. We have a Doctor in our family who told us that. Also he is was elated to hear about the Urologist who put the sign on his window telling those who voted for Obama to seek care elsewhere. He thinks there should be more of that.; Sat Apr 03, 08:30:00 AM PDT

You can't FIX stupid, but you CAN vote it out!!; Sat Apr 03, 10:05:00 AM PDT

Rivka: hey, good to see you again! Too many docs keeping silent on this, I fear.

TF: excellent point; I had forgotten the idioto from Guam. In the words of Bugs Bunny: "wotta maroon."

This HARE is, as I've said elsewhere on the blogosphere, where they get the term HARE BRAINED. creep; Sat Apr 03, 10:48:00 AM PDT
Anonymous said...: Being a professional salesman (manufacturers rep in vehicle accessories) I always like to take on manufacturers who make products that sell themselves.

If it is so fantabulous why has he been selling it for a year with less than 50% support and why would you continue to sell something after the deal is already done?

You have sold the product so now the customer will see for themselves. Right?; Sat Apr 03, 01:17:00 PM PDT

cary said...: Can't wait until people really start reading all the little fine-print add-ons and amendments that got stuck on that thing. Makes the dead skunk smell on the road really sweet in comparison, dontcha think?; Sat Apr 03, 06:35:00 PM PDT
Ron Russell said...: Phil Hare speaks for most on the left. At least the man is honest when he says the Constitution doesn't mean that much to him. To those on the left its an obstruction that must be over come.

And Fred, I've always wanted to go to Guam, guess I need to hurry before it tips over and slides beneath the waves--that idiot was serious. Man what fools we have in Washington!; Sat Apr 03, 08:11:00 PM PDT
Bloviating Zeppelin said...: Cary: some day I'm going to try to examine that thing line by line. I don't suspect ANYone has the remotest idea of what it truly contains.

Ron: yeah, okay, I'll have to give that to him; he's honest in his dishonesty.

Always On Watch said...: Congressman Phil Hare took an oath of office to uphold the Constitution. Now he chooses to disregard the Constitution? I have a post on this topic all queued up for tomorrow.

Of course, many in the present administration don't give a hoot about the Constitution they swore to uphold. Therein lies the problem!; Sun Apr 04, 07:18:00 AM PDT
CJ said...: Not to defend idiot politicians, but I've heard additional information on both the Guam thing and the Constitution thing that puts a different spin on them.

If you listen to the entire exchange about the Constitution, it becomes clear that what the man was actually saying was, to rephrase it, that he wasn't worried about Obamacare being constitutional or not. He believes it will pass the court test with flying colors. I believe he is wrong and he definitely used the wrong words to express his opinion but I've got to give him a little leeway on the whole deal.

The explanation on the Guam thing was interesting. It has to do with the politician being something of an actor and the exchange was with another man he'd previously shared lines with. The entire exchange was a tongue-in-cheek routine between them.

No idea if it's true or not and again, they chose a ridiculous place for such a farce but still.

Good grief. Y'all are gonna start thinking I'm a closeted liberal at this rate.

It was an April Fool's joke on her part. Go back and check it out. Johnson really is that stupid!; Tue Apr 06, 12:13:00 AM PDT
