1. I'm listening to him and those idiots responding to his stupidity.

[spanone]

2. this President will NEVER be able to do enough for the pundits of this media nation.

precious bodily fluids?

[graywarrior]

5. He's a bad bad man, that Obama.

[Jazzgirl]

[graywarrior]

27. Good thing I was doing homework all this time.

Otherwise....:spank:



:hi:

[lysosome]

3. He's right. I don't want to hear about it any more.

I just want them to give us a public option and get on with it already!

[Cha]

20. Well, he can't do it on his own can he? PO has to have

the country behind it and the majority in Congress.

So much impatience.

[lysosome]

22. Yeah, we have that. Get it done. And not that Bachas shit either!

[Cha]

23. It will come when it's ready..not on your

schedule.

[lysosome]

25. Haven't we waited enough already? How many decades do you want to wait?

4. He does have a point.

The healthcare debate has been framed. It ended when Obama got up in front of the congress and gave his speech.

We need to get something done now.

[graywarrior]

6. Like what?

When do they vote?

[Drunken Irishman]

9. I don't know when they vote.

But minds aren't going to be changed.

Do you really think they will?

[graywarrior]

12. No, but what in hell would the media discuss until then.

And what would you like Obama to talk about or do instead of what he's doing? I'd like to see him kick Tom DeLay's ass on Dancing with the Stars.

[Drunken Irishman]

14. I don't mind Obama talking about healthcare...

I hope his full hour isn't on it, though.

[Bozita]

7. HC and the economy are heavily entangled, almost like the roots of aspens.

[ejpoeta]

18. that is SOOO true. that's why unions aren't fighting for raises in contracts but

health coverage. because they are so entwined.

[Uncle Joe]

21. Our dysfunctional health care system is a major contributor to our economic woes, but

you can't expect Matthews to connect A to B he gets paid not to connect the dots as it goes against his master's corporate supremacist interests.

[ErinBerin84]

8. the privileged pundits

have a hard enough time pretending to understand the economy, they are not going to get that there is an obvious link between health care and the economy. They also don't get that only a small portion of people watch cable news...they get pissed when there isn't something "new" for them to gossip about.

[rvablue]

10. He's probably right

I have little doubt that Chris Matthews doesn't know or has had contact with a single soul who is truly invested or interested in health care reform.

Maybe he should think about doing some reporting, as he claims he is a "journalist," or he could invite some people on who are uninsured to address how interested or not interested they are in reform.

But from where he stands, living inside the beltway, attending black tie fundraisers and sunning himself among the monied class at his beach house, I believe him when he says, "no one wants to hear about healthcare."

[DatManFromNawlins]

26. Nobody I know does either

I have some friends who are mildly curious about healthcare reform, but they're much more worried about keeping their jobs and their bleeding 401Ks.

A doctor's appointment isn't worth shit if you can't put food on the table.

Obama and company fucked up on this issue. They should have been forceful in creating new regulations for the financial industry, especially in the area of personal credit, BEFORE checking it off the list and jumping to the next big ticket item. They didn't. They placed some scotch tape over a gaping hole and walked away. You do NOT build political capital by being elected. You build political capital by getting people to trust your leadership, and you get them to trust your leadership by enacting popular reforms. THEN you tackle the more controversial ones.

11. He has diabetes. If he had no healthcare he would sure love discussing it.

[AllentownJake]

13. He's actually right

To most people Healthcare is a secondary concern to the economy and the stimulus bill was soild to prevent us from reaching 10% unemployment, we will reach that this month.

I'm paying $500 a month for Cobra right now because I'm unemployed. I'm more worried about finding a job before unemployment runs out than I am about getting sick. Any plan they propose won't go into effect till 3-4 years from now so no job I'm fucked whether healthcare passes or not.

[Captain Hilts]

15. Millionaires on TV just aren't that concerned about it. nt

[BlooInBloo]

16. It's no fun when the republicans aren't winning.

[ejpoeta]

17. here's how it works. if obama talks about healthcare,then no one wants to hear about healthcare...

because no one is dealing with it right?? maybe chris matthews isn't dealing with it... but many people are. but i digress... if obama wasn't talking about healthcare, then the meme would be why isn't he talkinga bout healthcare.... see how that works. no matter what he says, it's not what people want to hear or if he starts talking about something else it is how come he is backing off of healthcare.... yadda yadda yadda.

[Cha]

19. Hey, Tweety~ Beg, buy, or borrow a clue..Health Care is the

Economy.

I guess he's having a sick day.
