From our White House Photo Blog. Would this man's condition be covered under health reform?

We'll cover him until he gets a cold -

or could it be the latest iteration of chinese censorship?

Having heard that the overweight baby finally got HC via "policy revision"*, I would say that at first, hell no.
.
Then, as the outcry mounts, emphasizing the shortcomings (not to mention hypocrisy) of the GOP position, "policy" will be "revised".

But still, Karen, this is a long way from China, and a Chinese provided motorcar spitshined to a tee, to the HCR battlefront in Washington DC.
.
Congrats on connecting the two. I don't know if I would have ever found a way to do that... -
5
Might I point out that I see smudges in the spitshine just below the door handle, and I'm outraged that the Obama administration allowed the Chinese to insult us by suppllying us with such an obviously dirty vehicle!
.
When is Rush, Hannity, and FOXworld going to come out with the truth and start harfing up media "chunks"?
.
The likes of Rusty the Wonder Bigot, 2/3rds of a terrorist, and Freetopeeinhisownshoes are just waiting, like hyenas on the prowl, to lap up their regurgitated gruel and howl at the moon... -

Instead of a job all Obama gave me was this gas guzzling car and a lousy sticker
-
6.1
Might I point out, bozo, that this was shot in China?
.
You know, it's just below the horizon when viewed from that slut Sarah Palin's house.
.
You should know that, freetopee... -

what does it say at the bottom of the sticker

…a different kind of presidential cover up.

This man just has no heart.

“Well, crap, my fly's open and protocol won't let me move or go off duty. Think anyone will notice?” -

Well, one Hillary Clinton fan in China thinks she's hot and reacts accordingly as she walks by …and the WH staff reacts accordingly too.

The economy is in the tank, getting worse by the day. Unemployment is now 10.4%, but with inflated numbers from the Obama Administration it is in reality over 20%.
.
Do you really think that most Americans, especially those who have been devastated by this Recession / Depression really care where Obama's seal is positioned in a photo-op?
.
Do you really think that most Americans, who are unemployed really care if Obama is in the news every 10 seconds doing a photo op, climbing the Great Wall? Visiting the Forbidden City? While he is on his "Oriental Great Adventure Vacation, and everything is going to pot here in the US of A? When his own fellow citizens here in the US of A are starving?
.
Do you really think that most Americans believe that "Yes we can" and "Fired up, ready to go" are nothing but more campaign slogans from the first Black President who has failed his country miserably?
.
Yea, give us more trite 1000 word blogs Karen. Great job!-

Rusty seriously you expect substance from the left? They talk incessantly about policy and facts both of which may be the main cause of global warming.
When push comes to shove they are empty suits as evidence by the First Tourist. Fraud is buidling everywhere, Afghanistan is turning into a joke, the terrorist trials are a nightmare, the economy continues to dive, the brilliant staffers overpaid for AIG, will never receive money back from GM and C, have run up the debt, are in the process of destroying health care with higher taxes, higher premiums and less service, stimulus payments to consumers will be returned as a tax, jobs created and saved in imaginary districts, fraud in medicare rising and our rights are being destroyed.
Buy hey, the pictures look great and Obama continues to vote present.

I know free, but we can hope that one day before it is too late our esteemed Media types like Karen Tumulty finally quit drinking the laced Kool-aide handed to them by the Obama Administration, take off their liberal rose colored glasses and actually REPORT news for a change.
.
But, I am not hopeful. As Obama proves day in and day out that he is just a joke, so do his liberal media followers.
.
More of the same, just more of the same. -

Gee, rusty, shouldn't you and free be celebrating? Aren't all these dire numbers signs of an impending GOP landslide in 2010?

I guess not everyone can be a syntax and spelling savant BLOWHARD like you

9.6
Constructive criticism, freep, merely constructive criticism. Take it or leave it, but syntax, grammar, punctuation, and spelling are your rhetorical coadjutors, they make or break your credibility.

Yeah, give us more “1000 words” blogs, Karen. Great job!

A Chinese protege of Levi Johnston gets covered up by Chinese and US censors.

I see that the Hays Film Code still exists …in China. -

It's all about preparation: when Hillary comes (to town), will you be ready?

Chinese officials have left this man hanging.

“Well, crap, all those little blue performance-enhancing pills I took haven't done a f'ing thing for my game, batting average still sucks, still can't lay down a bunt…” [looks down] “…oh wait, what the…?” -

…nope, those little blue pills don't help hair grow back, so this dude still wears a hat to hide his baldness. Then again, other growth side effects really don't have him complaining….

…yes, his current medical condition for the next four hours is covered under *latest* HCR proposals. But whither the poor woman he knocked up? She might not be as lucky.

Is that your Presidential Seal or are you just glad to see me?

Exiled:
Since most of the posts here are name calling and bile venting leftist drivel, pointing out mis-spelling is the equivalent to telling a gunshot victim that he has a splinter.
Most of the errors are fingers too big for the keyboard but if it makes folks here feel superior I can live with that.
-
15.1
Most of said leftist-drivel is in proper form, however. It behooves you, if your intention is to succinctly argue your positions, to at least follow the written norms of the English language. A lack of clarity in one's writing, or in your case a lack of precision in grammar, generally outweighs the content of an argument. Would you read a news article that was laden with errors? I wouldn't, as the credibility of the author is suspect. Similarly, if presenting your views for public consumption on an online forum, ostensibly with the intent to convince others of the soundness of your position, it is of the utmost importance to have proper structure, spelling, and grammar. This has nothing to do with any superiority complex; it's a matter of strategy. People listen when your words are coherent and proper, even if they may disagree with the content.
-
15.2
I'm screwed then. That's why I snark.
-
15.3
Ha! You slay me, Sacred. I think, in your case, humor can supplant either grammar or content.

Thanks Exiled. I was just upstairs watching my son play the new World at War game. I wish he'd visit some friends so that I can play. He's trying to convince my wife to let him hook it up to the 67" screen. A full public option has a better chance.

I really wish Rusty et al would make more of an effort when it comes to "one thousand words". Simply because they do not get out very often does not mean there is no way anyone might find them entertaining.

[...] Some mornings I think I should be writing for SNL or a good standup comic. There are so many stories that scream “this could be funny!” Take, for example Time’s story that “Obama Would Fire Afpak Leaker.” [...]

Agreed urban. I laughed so hard I farted. er, I think it was a fart....
-
23.2
OT, but since you mentioned farts...yesterday afternoon I had a bunch of big wig engineers from the main office and a couple of professors that I had to escort around and operate equipment for because they're preparing training classes. I had chili for lunch. One young engineer had bent over to remove a cover plate and he let slip a little toot. A few minutes later I slipped out a SBD. He got the blame. I lit a cigarette and just glared at the guy.
