Obama scolds Rep. Cantor at summit for paper prop
Mr so- called President, that thing you’re calling a “prop” is the whole reason this so called “bi-partisan” summit or what have you is why you’re there. So bi-partisan that democrats time allotted to speak was double and Obama’s time was double that, and frankly he’s probably the one guy in the room who knows the least about this subject. A room where you have actual doctors telling him shit who know from a lifetime of experience (Tom Coburn) and he just “blows it off”.
That’s what makes this whole Obama presidency comical. He knows nothing about running a business, he knows nothing about payrolls hell he’s never really even worked for a living. And yet he’s up there telling the others “I’m president, I can talk as much as I want.
And those 2 statements are just another example of the kind of thinking there, where he complains when someone brings the actual piece of so called legislation to the health care debate. What an Asshole.

WASHINGTON (AP) – President Barack Obama scolded Virgina Republican Rep. Eric Cantor for the stack of paper he brought with him to the health summit, calling it the type of political stunt that gets in the way of lawmakers having a serious conversation.
Cantor said he brought a copy of the 2,400-page Senate bill and the 11-page proposal Obama posted online earlier in the week.
Taking offense at the display as Cantor began to speak Thursday, Obama said the “truth of the matter” is that health care is a very complicated subject. He said all the Republican ideas discussed during the first half of the daylong summit would generate a bunch of paper, too.

Thanks so much for the link Ray. Yes, health care is complicated alright. Their legislation needs reams of paper. It’s the only way they can hide the things that need to be hidden.
Obama was clearly p.o.’d at Cantor and Boehner.
He just hates people smarter than him ya know?
How could someone be pissed that the actual document is in the room? Only a f{_)*) as-)*_& would and that as()U)&(* is Obama/
