Karl Rove and O'Reilly say fixing health care is not a "bread and butter" issue for America
The disgraced man once known as Bush's Brain actually has the nerve to say that the reason President Obama's poll numbers are slipping is because he's wasting time trying to fix our broken f*&king health care system and that's not one of the real "bread and butter" issues that Americans care about.
This from the man who led George W. Bush from an 80% approval rating to one of the lowest approval ratings in the history of America. And George Bush is considered one of the worst President in American history... Oh, yeah, and Karl couldn't help but drool all over himself when he said that Obama is focusing on climate change and never stops talking about his Nobel Peace Prize. When have you ever heard the president mention his prize outside of when he won it, and now that he's picking it up? What a liar.
Rove: ..and he's spent this year talking about health care and talking about greenhouse gas emissions and the environment and his Nobel Peace Prize and not talking about the thing that Americans are concerned about, which is jobs and the economy...
BillO: Bread and butter issues.
You may not agree with some of the measures President Obama has taken in dealing with the economy or health care for that matter, but he's certainly addressed it.
Forget George W. Bush for a minute. Well, you can never forget what he's done to our country so please don't. Ronald Reagan's popularity hit the skids early on in his presidency about the same time as Obama's has, when unemployment jumped under his leadership. Of course, Reagan didn't have a global financial catastrophe and two wars to deal with at the time, either.
Andrew Kohut writes:
The new president described above is, of course, Barack Obama — but, to a startling degree, it is also Ronald Reagan. A close look at Gallup’s polling of reactions to Reagan’s first few months in office provides striking parallels with what Pew Research Center polls now find about opinions of Mr. Obama. And a consideration of the Reagan experience may well give some clues as to what lies ahead for the 44th president.
The public’s bottom lines on Presidents Reagan and Obama early in their presidencies have so far been quite comparable: 60 percent and 59 percent of the public approved of the new presidents in mid-March, respectively. (Going into April, the lines diverge as a sympathetic public response to the March 31 attempt on Reagan’s life boosted his numbers, at least for short period.)---
But the public’s patience with Reagan was relatively short lived. By November, when the jobless rate had risen to 8.3 percent, from 7.5 percent in January, a plurality of the public believed that Reaganomics would hurt, not help, their family finances. So began Ronald Reagan’s approval ratings slide. By December, according to Gallup, 49 percent approved of his job performance while 41 percent disapproved. With the economy faltering, his approval rating fell to 42 percent by July 1982, with 46 percent disapproving. His rating hit a low of 35 percent early the next year.
So BillO's claim that Obama's polls are lower than anyone's in history at this point in his presidency is bogus: Obama's poll numbers, in fact, are closely tracking Reagan's.
And Reagan didn't have a black helicopter-teabagger movement created by a liberal version of FOX News or psycho talk radio that actively sought to overthrow him to deal with either.
Only FOX News would give Karl Rove a job as a lead analyst because they so desperately want the Democratic Party out of power and want to make their audience forget all about George W. Bush. Nice try, you political hacks.
Why aren't these war criminals in prison?
What the heck is this criminal mastermind for the worst president ever doing on my computer screen? WTF?
Is it the 21st century yet?
... Cheney may get the impression you are longing for the good old days and may do the punditry rounds all day tomorrow.
I hope dick takes Grayson's advice to just stfu!
Is it the 21st century yet?

Nor is the nickname turdblossom but when seen through Rove colored glasses . . .

And honestly, who listens to what these bumblefux have to say. don't answer that. I already know the answer. The people who's IQ hover around the freezing mark.

They both work for me.

It's almost funny when anyone on Fox brings up something about the president and they follow it with, We'll find out what Karl Rove thinks.
I mean when it comes to this President, don't we all know what Karl Rove thinks?
I haven't heard a word from the President from the day he won the award until he made his speech in Oslo this morning. Now let's find out what Karl Rove thinks about the speech. As if.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Was Karl the fair guest or the balanced guest?
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Hey if you're wealthy enough - just self-insure.

.............and his Dummy, George, eight years to throughly fuckup the country. Now I certainly don't agree with everything Obama has done, but absulutely Jesus himself would need more than one year to fix all the shit Rove, Bush, and Cheney broke.

-from the POV of him and his Harvard Pals, everything is hunky-dory just the way it is. Throw the plebeians a few bread-crumbs, make a nice speech, and vola! You own the World.
I have this recurring fantasy. I'm visiting New York (I live on the West Coast) and I see these two assholes coming out of the False News building. I give them both a good beat down. Then I head to Nathan's for some hot dogs because it made me so hungry. It would be worth the air fare. But, like I said, it is a fantasy. I would never debase myself like that.
I was in a boxing ring with Rove where I mercilessly gave him relentless body shots until he yelled for his mother and urinated blood.
Make it happen and I'll spring for all the Nathan's hot dogs and beer you desire. Hell, catch me on a good day and I'll even reimburse your air fare. Maybe a little toward that debasement guilt would be forthcoming too.
After that, I may have more work for you.
I have my fantasies too.

I'm surprised they didn't mention the President's lack of attention to the War on Christmas. That would really stir up BillO fans.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Billy and Karl aren't stupid. They know that but not for their finances, no one would have anything to do with either of them.
I can't spot one redeeming quality.

Public option died a few hours ago at the hands of Pelosi.
Stupid Americans.
I put this epic failure at the feet of Obama. IF he wanted it, he could have twisted arms and kicked ass. But no - he was quiet and unsupportive. And now you poor bastards are screwed.
That's the Democratic Party for ya. One endless string of heartbreak and disappointment. With the Republican dooooshbags, at least you know they're assholes.
Without a well funded public option, US industry cannot be competitive. So, in a nutshell, there goes your economic recovery with it.
As you all spin down into the seething cauldron of right-wing idiocy, peak oil, a far flung Empire and wars in multiple fronts, take a look around, and remember what America was like before the Bush Junta's disastrous reign, and before the Obama collapse.
Your Empire Is Done. There is no way out.
Game over. Thanks for playing.

I am sincerely glad that my view of the future is not as negative as other's. I'm not ready to throw in the towel on this country or our future. When we give up, that's when the game is truly over.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Since when is the dissolution of a genocidal planet killing empire a bad thing? How is pointing out its immanent demise negative?
Why NOT give up when the game you're playing isn't worth winning?

project - I've often wondered how Rove has gotten as far as he has. He's gone to as many schools as Sarah Palin. Except that he has never graduated. Devious little fuck, too. Learned at Lee Atwater's knee.
This is not a smart man. This is a sneaky sociopath who the frat boy found amusing, as did several others during his disdained career. He is the consummate liar that goes where decent people fear to tread.
Very well said savannah.
That sums him right up in a nut shell.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
that Karl Rove is scheduled to say something truthful. Late in the year 2012 if I'm not mistaken.

The reason rove and oliar got on fox tv is because they are ignorant lying fools!
They prefer bread and circuses.

Just so I understand this:
Only 21% of the voters identify as Republicans and 35% of the 21% say this or that? Less than 8% of the voting public is significant HOW?
This is the best the M$M can do. Keep equating 21% of the voters with half of the country? REALLY?

At the federal level, Article Two of the United States Constitution (Section 4) states that "The President, Vice President, and all other civil Officers of the United States shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors."
Obama? Really? I don't agree with a lot that he's done, and never really cared for him to be President....but I don't get it. I mean if you're not going to arrest or try Bush & Co for anything, then I don't think there's ever going to be a case for impeachment for anyone, regardless of what they do.
It is really what we are up against.
Whether you care for him to be president or not, he was the only viable option.
Sure we need better candidates but Obama is the best thing we have goin in a long time.
Like it or not he might be the best president you see in your lifetime.
Aint that a shame.

I'd ratheer have someone that wasn't just all surface charm. Someone that really cares about getting things done right and supports the general welfare of ALL the people. It O is the best we're going to get...then the US will cease to be as a world power by this century's end, probably a lot sooner.
Most Republiks seem to think that a blowjob is an impeachable offence, and I guess they assume that Michelle must have gone there once or twice...

but Health care ISN'T? How do they justify that opinion? Did they ask thousands of low-income people "What would you prefer, a crappy job or a mediocre Government Health Plan?" I'd pick the health plan. Knowing my health care was secure, I could take advantage of other economic opportunities.

No offense to pigs . .
These two HYPOCRITES are just green with envy that Mr. Obama received the Nobel Peace Award!!
The Nobel Pig Prize.
it was O'Reilly and Miss Piggy in the video.
Nothing new , it's just the Karl Rove / Republican playbook , just say the very opposite of the truth ... consistantly and no matter what . Rove is a big fan of Hitler's propaganda minister Goebbels , lie and repeat the lie often enough and the people will believe , the lie becomes the truth , the truth is the enemy of the state . These people truly are evil , should be feared and defeated , eliminated would be a better choice of words but ...
All I can do is shake my head in utter disbelief at the huge amount of chutzpah that Rove possesses.
Hahaha. We've got a turdhead interviewing a turdblossom with the common denominator being that both are turds. Priceless.
All jokes aside. Why does anybody other than Fox give Rove credence? He and Cheney should be wearing orange jumpsuits by now but we see these criminal more than we ever did when in office.
Could it be that they ARE the leaders of the Republican party right now. In other words, that's all they've got. Mr 13% and a turdblossom . If so they really are in trouble.
,A letter I just received from Franken.
"As you've probably heard, on Monday night progressives and moderates reached a compromise to keep health insurance reform moving through the Senate. After decades of talking about fixing our broken health care system, the Senate is poised to finally deliver for the American people - and it's about time.
I've said all along that health insurance reform must bring down costs and improve access to get my support. A public option would do that, so I was disappointed to learn that it's not part of this agreement. However, there are reasons to be hopeful that this compromise will succeed at keeping premiums down for families.
The plain fact is, we are one step closer to extending health coverage to 31 million Americans and giving some peace of mind to tens of millions more. If this compromise includes proposals I've been fighting for, like ensuring that a higher percentage of premium dollars are spent on health care rather than profits and wasteful administrative costs, we will achieve the end result that I want - high-quality, affordable health coverage for Minnesota families and small businesses.
I'll keep you updated as the bill progresses, as we've still got a ways to go. But there's one thing you can be sure of - Republicans and special interests will be on the attack in Minnesota to make a last ditch attempt to distort, derail, delay, or flat-out kill the reform effort. If you can, please click here to make a contribution of $5 today to help us get our positive message out.
Thanks for all you've done, and all you'll do.
Best,
Al

With all due respect to the good Senator. stfu. Not buying it.
What is your conceptual, continuity?
I'll chip in an extra fiver for ya!

Shame on her for doing exactly what some of us prognosticated she was going to do, and for making me link to the huff post!
They just called and asked a few questions about HCR and abortion, to which I answered the "wrong" answer. Then, they asked a convoluted question that compared the Holocaust, US aid to Israel, and UN funding of malaria prevention programs in Africa, to which I responded "What the fuck?" Then, they asked about a Syracuse University study that discovered liberals make more money than conservatives but give less; does this sound plausible? I answered "no." Then, they asked if I was willing to give money for malaria prevention in Africa. I should have said, "Yes, but through other organizations than yours."
actually, make that people in general. They had no problem bombing the sh*t out of innocent people and bankrupting us for the "privilege."

Who pays for Rove's veterinarian bills? ( Not for his pets but for him) He surely can't be considered a human patient. I think that he is overdo for his distemper shot and deworming! Can't we make him go away? Turd blossom needs to be flushed.
cleo: Goddamn, that was funny!
How about a post covering the responsibility Fox News viewers have for the channel's influence over the national debate?
You can talk about Fox all you want but it's Joe Average Republican who is hurting America by supporting the propaganda, by supporting the Palin crowd's lies, and worst of all by believing every lie the GOP tells. Nobody ever talks about that. Why?
This is hilarious. Soon, very soon, Those two dickheads will be as irrelevant as The Washington Times. LOLOLOL
Like David says, I would like to see Rove point out where Obama ever said anything about the Nobel Peace Prize other than the day he won it and the day he received it. What a couple of jokers.
And by "America", O'Reilly and Rove of course mean the top 1 percent ultra rich .
