Rep. Charles Boustany (Lafayette, Louisiana) will deliver the Republican response!

[Laf.La.Dem.]

A few items to recall when he is making this response:

He WILL mention that he has been a doctor for 20 years - he is a retired cardiothoracic surgeon.

He WILL mention that he has been working on ways to reform health care that is bipartisan.

He WILL NOT mention that he has received more than $1 million in contributions from health care industry groups over the course of his political career.

He WILL NOT mention he co-sponsored a bill permitting Medicare to pay for end-of-life counseling (or as the Republicans like to call it “death panels”).

Mr. Boustany was a guest on a RW talk radio show here in Lafayette and a caller asked him if Obama was born in the US and his response was that he would depend on FOX to find out.
