NN - he was just given an hour of prime time tv to sell his health care deal. did you hear anything new? i didn't! then last question he takes he sticks his foot in his mouth, and thats all that was covered the next day. he told ABC he didn't know why everybody was getting their panties in a bunch. (my words not his) even bill cosby said he shouldn't have said what he did. to have the POTUS admit he don't know all the facts, and still call the actions of the cops stupid ain't smart imo. he needs to drop in the polls.

steps off soapbox and waits for obama supporters to defend his actions

@dieseldog:

Now they are resorting to censureship to try to win the government run healthcare debate:

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?print=yes&id=32856
Rep. John Carter (R-Texas), the secretary of the House Republican Conference and a former District Court Judge, is having his messages to constituents censored by Democrats on the Franking Commission. Republicans are no longer allowed to use the words “government run health care” in the communications to their constituents.

http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?print=yes&id=32850
Republican Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) also found himself being censored yesterday by Democrats who refused to allow mailings that included a chart (pdf) he asked his Republican staff at the Joint Economic Committee to create. Democrats have to approve these mailings under the House “franked” mail system -- the system by which communications are sent between Congress and constituents that requires the member signature in place of a stamp. The President, Congress and some cabinet members are afforded this “franked” mail system for constituent communications to ensure the free flow of information.
