healthcare speech

[MrBlonde7]

"Steve Holt!"

When did Congress turn into a high school assembly?

So true. WTF!?
I even get annoyed at seeing half the room clapping or standing and the other half full of people too scared to because of peer pressure. High school all over again.

If I was president my first line would be. "Sit down, shut up, the first person that stands up clapping is going to the death panels."

I know it's a formality but if feels totally disingenuous and annoying when you're trying to listen to the guy talk.

Bohener looked like he had diarrhea. Too much sun and/or alcohol?

[taliban]

they need some real talk

[electrachrome]

anyone have a link to the full speech that isn't through youtube (only have first nine minutes up so far) or cspan (laggy feed keeps video stuttering every 2 seconds)?

here's the transcript:
The White House - Press Office - Remarks by the President to a Joint Session of Congress on Health Care

[MrBlonde7]

Thanks, but I'm watching it again through youtube. whole thing is up now in 6 parts.

[Zach Hobbs]

he was pretty strong.

Didn't you love the people holding up in the air (what I'm guessing was) their republican reform plan. What, was Obama gonna stop and go "hey watcha got there?" Great speech though, in my opinion.

[Grzeca]

Republicans came off great with their base I'm sure, but ended up alienating themselves with the american middle no doubt by looking like pedantic sourpusses. I love that homeboy from Louisiana has been sued for medical malpractice 3 times and tried to buy a lordship (!?!?!!) for himself.
