I was at church tonight so I missed the great ObamaCare speech. Instead of turning to the mainstream media and get either sides talking points, I turned to the Drunkblogging the Big ObamaCare Speech
Complete details here, but here are the funnier excerpts
If people don't understand what government run health care will be about they need to try military health system.
Employers are drooling at the chance to get rid of offering health care just like now they are getting rid of company retirements and 401k matching - you have social security. They would love to be able to say "Government is supplying you with your health care just like your retirement."
You know I think I should have a choice of watching whatever football game I want on Sunday - it's not fair that Cox and the networks decide for me. I demand this constitutional right.
Only way the system can work is the Government will force everybody to be in the heath care program and it will be some type of sliding scale where those at a certain income level will actually be paid for participating.
Was Obama saying he's actually going to balanced the budget? Or was he just telling the lie that "stupid" really want to hear to make them feel better when we all really know it's not going to happen?
But here’s the short version: Obama will see a brief spike in the polls, but not enough. He delivered a divisive speech to a divided nation — and that’s no way to spur a divided Congress into action.

5:07PM Ah, there’s Kathleen Sebelius. I think she’s there to tag elderly Congresspersons for possible counseling and termination.
5:13PM Judging by his reception, President Obama remains very popular with people who have no intention of voting for his proposals.
5:18PM “I will not let up until those Americans who seek jobs can find them.” Translation: “The floggings will continue until morale improves.”
5:22PM “We are the only wealthy nation…” without national health care. Dude. “We’re not France” ain’t gonna sell in the heartland, mmmkay?
5:23PM Heartbreaking insurance stories! And government will make bureaucracy better!
5:25PM Health care is putting an “unsustainable burden” on taxpayers. Solution: More! The solution is always more, isn’t it? Let’s try less for a while, and see how that works. Wow, I *must* be drunk.

5:30PM “Nothing in this plan will REQUIRE you or your employer to change what you have.” Require is one of those weasel words.
5:31PM I think my cable company shouldn’t be allowed to drop my favorite channels ever. I want a law.
5:32PM Correction: Preventative care does save lives, but it costs more money, not less. Nothing costs less than a dead patient. Don’t forget that. Ever.
5:38PM “Misinformation.” Well, that’s a step up. Pelosi called protestors Nazis. The President thinks of you as mere liars.
5:39PM Eff me. The president is LECTURING people he needs to win over. How’s that gonna go over, you think?

5:42PM Profit = “Overhead”!!!
5:43PM Kids, profit is how we get MORE of stuff we like. This socialist President thinks it’s “overhead.”

5:45PM Who defines affordable? Who defines choice?
5:47PM Obama promises not to “add a dime” to the deficit. I’m not supposed to drop the f-bomb here, but your about to get fxxxx on your taxes. I apologize.
But here’s the short version: Obama will see a brief spike in the polls, but not enough. He delivered a divisive speech to a divided nation — and that’s no way to spur a divided Congress into action.
