Aww...Well he IS a girl, how else would you expect him to throw?
What I like is that he puts on a "Sox" cap in an effort to "represent his home town team" and proceeds to throw like a sissy. Awesome!

Obama puts crowd to sleep.
"The Great Elaborator: Obama gives 17 minute answer to health care query in NC"
By Anne E. Kornblut
Washington Post staff writer
Saturday, April 3, 2010
CHARLOTTE -- Even by President Obama's loquacious standards, an answer he gave here on health care Friday was a doozy.
Toward the end of a question-and-answer session with workers at an advanced battery technology manufacturer, a woman named Doris stood to ask the president whether it was a "wise decision to add more taxes to us with the health care" package.
"We are overtaxed as it is," Doris said bluntly.
Obama started out feisty. "Well, let's talk about that, because this is an area where there's been just a whole lot of misinformation, and I'm going to have to work hard over the next several months to clean up a lot of the misapprehensions that people have," the president said.
He then spent the next 17 minutes and 12 seconds lulling the crowd into a daze. His discursive answer -- more than 2,500 words long -- wandered from topic to topic, including commentary on the deficit, pay-as-you-go rules passed by Congress, Congressional Budget Office reports on Medicare waste, COBRA coverage, the Recovery Act and Federal Medical Assistance Percentages (he referred to this last item by its inside-the-Beltway name, "F-Map"). He talked about the notion of eliminating foreign aid (not worth it, he said). He invoked Warren Buffett, earmarks and the payroll tax that funds Medicare (referring to it, in fluent Washington lingo, as "FICA").
Always fond of lists, Obama ticked off his approach to health care -- twice. "Number one is that we are the only -- we have been, up until last week, the only advanced country that allows 50 million of its citizens to not have any health insurance," he said.

A few minutes later he got to the next point, which seemed awfully similar to the first. "Number two, you don't know who might end up being in that situation," he said, then carried on explaining further still.
"Point number three is that the way insurance companies have been operating, even if you've got health insurance, you don't always know what you got, because what has been increasingly the practice is that if you're not lucky enough to work for a big company that is a big pool, that essentially is almost a self-insurer, then what's happening is, is you're going out on the marketplace, you may be buying insurance, you think you're covered, but then when you get sick they decide to drop the insurance right when you need it," Obama continued, winding on with the answer.
Halfway through, an audience member on the riser yawned.
But Obama wasn't finished. He had a "final point," before starting again with another list -- of three points.
"What we said is, number one, we'll have the basic principle that everybody gets coverage," he said, before launching into the next two points, for a grand total of seven.
His wandering approach might not matter if Obama weren't being billed as the chief salesman of the health-care overhaul. Public opinion on the bill remains divided, and Democratic officials are planning to send Obama into the country to convince wary citizens that it will work for them in the long run.
It was not evident that he changed any minds at Friday's event. The audience sat politely, but people in the back of the room began to wander off.
Even Obama seemed to recognize that he had gone on too long. He apologized -- in keeping with the spirit of the moment, not once, but twice. "Boy, that was a long answer. I'm sorry," he said, drawing nervous laughter that sounded somewhat like relief as he wrapped up.
But, he said: "I hope I answered your question."

Obama's Approval Rating Hits New Low
CBS News
April 2. 2010.
Last week, President Obama signed historic health care reform legislation into law -- but his legislative success doesn't seem to have helped his image with the American public.
The latest CBS News Poll, conducted between March 29 and April 1, found Americans unhappier than ever with Mr. Obama's handling of health care - and still worried about the state of the economy.
President Obama's overall job approval rating has fallen to an all-time low of 44 percent, down five points from late March, just before the health bill's passage in the House of Representatives. It's down 24 points since his all-time high last April. Forty-one percent of those polled said they disapproved of the president's performance.
More results from this CBS News Poll will be released in Friday's broadcast of the Evening News with Katie Couric, which airs at 6:30 p.m. Eastern.
When it comes to health care, the President's approval rating is even lower -- and is also a new all-time low. Only 34 percent approved, while 55 percent said they disapproved.
Americans are still worried about the economy, with 84 percent telling CBS they thought it was still in bad condition. However, even that high number represents an improvement: nine in ten thought the economy was bad during the last half of 2008 and at the beginning of 2009, when Mr. Obama assumed the Presidency.
Concern about job loss remains high; slightly more Americans now (35 percent) than in February (31 percent) were "very concerned" that someone in their household would lose a job. Nearly six in ten Americans said they were at least "somewhat concerned" about a job loss.
As has often been the case, lower-income Americans tend to be the most concerned about job loss.
This concern is reflected in yet another low approval rating -- this time for the President's handling of the economy. Just 42 percent said they approved of how President Obama is handling the economy, only one point above January's all-time low. Half of the public disapproves.
This poll was conducted among a random sample of 858 adults nationwide, interviewed by telephone March 29-April 1, 2010. Phone numbers were dialed from random digit dial samples of both standard land-line and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher. This poll release conforms to the Standards of Disclosure of the National Council on Public Polls.

So dang funny...
So dang funny.
The truth is that there is probably something that was told to both of them to keep wiping their hands. Your dealing with a very screwed up time in a very hard hit place.
You can even see clinton (in the same bit of footage) wiping his hand off on his shirt.
The HILARIOUS thing is that 'W' is wiping his hand ON clinton.
Even though I'm abit pissed at 'W' for alot of his spending...He still does things that endear me to him.
>:D

Buck up! All is not lost. Why you ask?....
I said from the beginning what would happen if obama won the election.
Less than a year into his presidency, I was able to say "I TOLD'JA SO",
I said that when it would happen (and it would happen quickly), the crash would be "spectacular".
I was correct...but with that let me say that the 'spectacular' part....has not yet occured. But we are getting very close to it. And it will absolutely demolish the dems. And with the jam down of obama care (which I also said would happen...THROUGH 'reconciliation')...... We're close to it.
So, with that...I can hear you asking yourself:
"where are we now oh great and powerful Handel!? The bill is passed, you magnificent bastard."
What will happen now? Well, now the fight continues towards November where this will be hammered down the throats of the dems.
All the while the taxes will start to come down on the public. Small biz will continue to struggle, and the recession will continue to drag on.
Once the elections happen and IF the Republicans take over even ONE chamber....we starve the bill.
STARVE it.
If the republicans take over even ONE chamber, guess who holds the purse strings...congress. And if the Republicans take over a chamber...obama care gets halted.
And if/when obama loses reelection....the repeal will happen and we can get to the business of doing real reform.
Again..I hear you:
"Oh Handel..you handsome piece of vile man-flesh, with a pooper so glorious, they should market hats that resemble it and sell it at Walmart....HOW have you been able to be soooooo damn accurate! In allllll that you've said???? "
Is it because i am a genius? Well, it doesn't hurt to be a genius..(which I am. What? you haven't heard my tunes?..philistine!!)
But it isn't that I'm 'super smert'. Its simply because none of the obama numbers add up. They are destined to fail. The same way obama was destined to fail if anyone looked at his resume or history of experience. He's a nothing. Built from nothing. A cover with no actual pages.
So that is how I have been able to be razor sharp on my predictions.
The only way...obama had a chance (ironically)... is if the same thing happened to him that happened to Clinton. If the republicans knocked him back a step. Causing him to shelve obamacare.
Now thats gone. Obama care is here...and while its here for just a small time (before being repealed)....it will still cause enourmous damage. Damage to every household across the country.
Why? Because you:
...........CAN'T SPEND MONEY......YOU DON'T HAVE!!
It's always been about common sense. All of which democrats and obama have never had.
And sadly the American electorate last November took leave of, and is now paying the price for.
But that can be changed......all of it changed.....
...............................starting THIS November!

Moment at hand. (Or rather) standing at the cliff with one foot off.
As we reach the boiling point of this healthcare vote. Note: I do believe that this vote will happen and it will be passed. I've always believed that they would shove it through.
I also said from the begining that I believe it will be the end of the democrats in congress and the urkel obamas presidency.
*There will be a long road from here, as the republicans will hammer it with amendments and so forth to weaken it.
*Then the lawsuits come down from the States refusing to enact obama care due to explosive costs to the individual states.
Spectacle city baby!
*Then we hit them hard every day till November when we crush them in congress and replace the dem wastes of space with grown ups who will take the credit card back.
Mind you...all the way TO Nov, all of the taxes will be coming down, Small biz will continue to struggle as they will be hit with a great deal of taxes and they will either shut down or continue to not hire people. Recession will continue, and people will continue to suffer.
Allllll the way to November. Aaaand then we will have a new congress. Pointing in a better direction.
Then we prepare to send the boy presidunce back to whence he came. And get to the serious work of repealing this bill.
And yeah...It can be done. All we need to have..or rather...continue to have, is the American people and 51 votes.
Change is coming indeed. We just have to survive the self inflicted wound..which we will.
Now as I say that, you would do right to remember that: I have been correct from the moment obama was elected. Correct about what would happen. Correct about everything.
So, as for what I'm saying now?
Count on it.

Ryan to confused dumbocrat: " I can tell you don't understand it accurately.
Paul Ryan DESTROYS three dumb democrats on healthcare debate.
This is what everyone should understand. Three democrats...totally confused about what bill they're arguing about! Who don't even know whats in THEIR own bill much less Paul Ryan's bill.
Now here we stand on the brink of passing a bill that will do enormous harm to our country and these dickweeds don't even know what their passing.
Rasmussen finds that "just 20% of voters think most members of Congress will understand what is in the plan before they vote."
They are absolutely correct. As is painfully evident.
When you watch this dumb woman democrat...hobble through, dazed and confused on what friggin bill shes trying to talk about...its frightening.
Ryans line "I can tell you don't understand it accurately." comes at the 3:32 mark.
He goes on to kick all three dems assy's all over the place.
Feast.
