Open mouth and insert foot……how can you make the case for gov’t control of health care if you can even run the Post Office or Amtrak or any other entity……
I have no idea where people get the crazy loon idea that the Federal Government can’t run an all encompassing program like a National Heathcare Plan. It’s lunacy to think they cant. Lets look at all the successes, first off we have the Federal Reserve, then the FAA, schools are getting better all the time too.
Sure there are some things that need improvement, like welfare, child care, and civil rights, but those aren’t really programs. They should be programs but they’re not.
Usually whatever the Feds touch they succeed at, it’s when the Republicans get their greedy little white fingers in it is when things go all to heck.
Obama lied my typical white grandma died.
Really?? And the Post Office is run by whom???? You go so far to even admit it is not working, and you want to take over our health care? Are you out of your freaking mind??
Anexio sorry I can’t tell if it is sarcasm or you are a complete idiot. #1 The federal reserve is a private bank. #2 The FAA does not run a business, they are regulators. #3 Schools what is the inner city graduation rate 40%? What came first short man’s disease or the short man?
Do you think when he got done saying that a light bulb went of in his head, and he thought “Oh crap. Ayn Rand was right!”
Its his own words, he must understand the lunacy of it. Also Im sure that fed-ex and ups would love to have a chance at the monopoly the post office controls through law of letter delivery.
He thinks this won’t require tax dollars? If it was profitable to do what he wants, they wouldn’t need the government to do it! Geez! This guy can’t keep his story straight.
Yep “yo” – Anexio is an uninformed Troll – here you go Anexio get edumakat’d http://www.geocities.com/CapitolHill/Senate/3616/FedReserveFacts.html
He think Federal Express is the Government too!
Was that on his TELEPROMPTER? How did a a TRUTHFUL statement get on there!
The 5 Billion that they are spending on Taxpayer Debit for Clunkers could of fixed the Postal Service. Obama threw postal workers under the bus. My mail service is probably the best thing the Fed’s provide.
I just have to believe that he said this and immediatly thought, “Damnit I just gave them the best sound clip ever…WHERE THE HELL IS MY TELEPROMPTER”
NOT FROM CNN CENTER IN ATLANTA:
“Sen. Ted Kennedy D-MA. and Sen. Chris Dodd D-CT., due to illness, will be unable to partake in their annual “WAITRESS SANDWICH” ritual, Doctors say.”

Excuse me but does UPS and FedEx deliver to every houshold on a daily basis 6 days a week. Please compare apples to apples not apples to not even close…..
No wonder the Post Office is losing money, Mr President. Among other reasons, they give away shipping boxes.
Fed Ex and UPS have to charge for theirs. And what about junk mail subsidy, hmmmm??? The saying “The Emperor has
no clothes” comes to mind. And he thinks the Feds can run healthcare without damaging the private sector?? He’s crazy !!
I never stand in line at the Post Office, with it’s 5 counters and one employee. The Post Office never raises it rates. It is staffed by competent, caring people who always deliver my mail on time, and never lose anything.
And when I cough, monkeys fly out of my a$$.
Sorry, missing the “g” above…for girl.
FLASHBACK: http://sonsoftherepublic.blogspot.com/2005/08/kennedy-dodd-waitress-sandwich.html
Been there: ANYTHING the government runs, they screw up. They are not capable of running ANYTHING well. Hello?? Anyone home?? Doh! It is not their job to provide health care.
My main contention with this plan is that it was being rushed through congress without any real debate and most of the members did not read it or understand it. But this is a good answer. If taxpayer subsidies are not used to buoy up ObamaCare, than it will collapse in the face of private insurance. So eliminate everything in the Bill which also subsidizes this option by forcing all other private plans to conform to it by 2013 and then again in 2018.
The post office would not have a problem if the CARS money went to them instead.
I rest my case.
“…as long as it’s not subsided by the government and we keep having to pony out more money.” Ummmm, like the post office? It takes him less than 3 sentences to contradict himself. Classic fail.
Anexio! Thank you for a good belly laugh!
Every time the Post office is short of money, they raise the cost of stamps.
Every time Private companies need to sell more they lower their costs.
Get it Obama? Get it yet?
Maybe if he would have had a real job in his life where he earned something then he would understand. That making money is not evil. It is the only system that allows for Good.
[...] the rest here: Obama: ‘It’s the Post Office That’s Always Having Problems’ Filed Under: Latest News [...]
Thank you Mr. President. This might be the first time I enjoyed hearing what came out of your mouth. I am usually sickened by what I hear, because none of it is true and why do people believe you? It’s so plain to see. Keep slipping I knew I could count on you to do that.
“…somewhere, miles away at the nations capitol, a Vice President snickers.”
What exactly is he arguing here? Based on his statements, one could walk away with the idea that:
Private Sector = Successful operation
Government run = failure.
Yet another RACIST POSTER ABOUT OBAMA! More “Red Meat” for the Daily KOS Trolls!
http://realclearpolitics.blogs.time.com/2009/08/10/new-poster-reveals-the-ugly-face-of-racism/
Unbelievable!
UPS and Fed Ex are doing fine because they got into that part of the business that they could squeeze into. The US postal service still has LOUSY service and still gets the bulk of certain business and is still MORE EXPENSIVE than it needs to be. It is losing money and the US taxpayer ends up making up for their loss. And how long as the US postal service held their monopoly before UPS and Fed Ex did well? History shows that the monopoly of the US postal service has lasted for decades upon decades. Government monopolies can be broken, but only when the massed understand that there is a choice and that the private companies compete in areas that are finally legal to compete in. And finally, they end up succeeding against all odds and against the monopoly. How much better would the service been had the government not been a stumbling block for so many decades?
BTW anexio, shut the hell up you looney leftist moron. You are a bad liar. Practice hard. Then you can become a not so bad but still really bad liar like Obama. You two morons deserve each other. You are both worthless counterproductive self-serving fools.
Oooh, I see what he was trying to get at. The competition part of it. He’s trying to say that the private sector (UPS & Fed Ex) can compete with a government entity (USPS), and in using the example saying that USP and FEDex is doing much better than the USPS.
The problem is, that’s assuming there will be a private sector to the health care industry, which the current HR bill shows will not be the case.
What would our shipping options look like if there were new provisions that stated if your current contract changes in any way with your private carrier, then it’s null & void, and you must use the USPS for all your future shipping needs.
Let’s compare apples to apples please.
@Anexio–
Keep it up! I love your comments…LOL
Semper Fi
Hi there, Phalocephalus Carnalis!.
@Anexio Racist much? What does white have to do with it? And can you please provide a case example of a federally run program that was a success until “the Republicans get their greedy little white fingers in it is when things go all to heck.”
Please help send Anexio back. http://www.SendAnexioBackToHaiti.org
Obalma, I know what you’re saying, but do you realize what you’re telling us. Axelrod must have been backstage with a cane, in order to pull Barry “The Embalmer” back away from the mic.
Anexio “The Mental Anarexio” must be getting more than his share of free drugs for the government.
Go a mob name?
I was in the US P.O. last week to buy a money order for 1100.00. the “person” behind the counter said, “I’m sorry, but the limit for a money order is 1000.00″.
I’ll keep my Capitalism, thanks.
Ah…..HAITI,…..I have been there!.
Haiti, once called The Jewel of the Antilles, was the richest colony in the entire world. Economists estimate that in the 1750s Haiti provided as much as …
Then there was a revolution, and it became the FIRST ALL BLACK republic in the western hemisphere….
…., yes, a good place for Anexio!.
Please go back to the teleprompter, man. Using the Post Office as an example to PROMOTE a health care takeover?! Why don’t you bring up Amtrak too?
This guys’s no good unless his Pinocchio strings are really tight. GO ahead and report me to the White House; I don’t care.
Keep this idiot out there talking. He’s the best weapon against Socialism Americans have!!! Obama!! Obama!! Obamha ha ha ha ha
Out of the mouth of an idiot comes the truth.
I don’t think I can add anything to what Obama just said. This sums up the Obama health care plan even though there is much more to the quote, it sums up the rest of the statement. I have been keeping up with the facts of this health care plan on http://www.AmericanParchment.com and I can’t wait to see what develops in the future… We must not stay silent.
Wow! Obama attacking his union base. Now THAT is desperation!
To quote the great Fred Sanford, “Ya big dummy”; and this fool is trying to sell a government healthcare takeover??????? Did you ever notice how the truth gets out of him (telling Joe the Plumber he wants to spread the wealth), HE WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE.
Make me think of Yosemite Sam mudflaps saying “Back Off”
The USPS has problems because it’s a business…period! And, there are alot of businesses suffering right now.
For all practical purposes, the USPS is a privately run, non-profit organization.
Does the USPS have a bureaucratic mindset? Sure. Are there Federal rules and laws they have to go by? Yes. And, many, many of it’s employees are UNIONIZED. But, the USPS is not a tax payer funded business. Except for the goods and services you pay for out of pocket at their counter, we as tax payers don’t pay for the USPS. It does not get tax dollars for current, ongoing business. The USPS earns the money it uses to run the business from the goods and services it provides.
(There are some tax dollars going to pay an old Civil Service retirement plan that was discontinued YEARS ago…and a good bet would be that pool of retirees is QUICKLY shrinking.)
So, if the USPS raises its rates (which it’s fixing to do again), then it’s only doing it to stay in business.
UPS and FedEx are doing fine. It’s the Post Office and the (government run) SENATE DINING ROOM that are always having problems. They all eat in the HOUSE DINING ROOM that is privately run and where the food is EDIBLE! Even Senator Dianne Feinstein said “WE MUST PRIVATIZE THIS”!
See http://minx.cc/?post=290788 for the best response.
The post office can’t compete with fedex or ups on package deliveries where they don’t have the monopoly so it raises its rates on 1st class mail to give them an unfair advantage…
Good lord,look how dumb this country is starting to look.
He also said today that he “NEVER SAID HE WAS FOR ANY SINGLE PAYER PLAN”That is a huge lie.This man is on tape saying he is all for a single payer plan.
Uh-oh, I bet there’s going to be one less teleprompter at the WH now.
So the postman has always acted stupidly???
And this is supposed to inspire confidence in government run healthcare how? I’m guessing that B.O. wasn’t the debate champion of his high school.
Yeah, of course UPS and FedEx are doing fine, that’s because they’re not controlled by the government. What a dope!
Geez, Obama is epic dumb. Of course, when you watch the videos where he tries to “explain” things, you can tell he’s out of his depth. Just really clueless, and that’s because he hasn’t had the right job experience to be in where he is currently. It’s not much different with Congress — only they have found a way to sustain their greedy selves by muddying the waters of every issue until their far-too-busy constituents’ heads are spinning. Ask yourself: Who exactly are attracted to these government positions? Not the best, not the brightest. Most of those are out building businesses and involved in philanthropy, not mired in the mind-numbing nonsense of politics. Our government is a beast that needs to crash under its own weight. We need to starve it by not feeding it, John Galt style.
For a few financial details…

Thanks so much for the video post. I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it myself. So he KNOWS how this is going to end up working out. He just doesn’t CARE.
to anexio…
1 your an idiot
2 the federal reserve is not run by the government (i’ll agree that it does run our government though)
Joe Biden’s rubbing off on him…hahahaha…too funny!
Anexio hosted a pool party for his closest friends last night.

This guy couldn’t run a taco stand! Cash for clunkers will be the shining star of his presidency!
Need i say more. did someone say about the success of public schools. You really got to be kidding. And you actually think they are getting better. Anyone who graduated in the 1960’s or 70’s from high school looks at today’s schools and shakes their heads. Government MONOPOLY always means waste. Waste always means either higher cost, or lower product quality. There is no in between.
Government run health care IS the Post office with a stethoscope around it’s neck. How fitting….
I work at a government facility, with all the AAAA imbeciles & defectives they hire, the waste, and endemic laziness, they couldn’t run a train set let alone the post office or health care. What a joke this country has become, with our first AAAA president.
AAAA = Affirmative Action African Americant
Incidentally, it recently took over 18 days for a letter ( a letter!) from me in Florida to New York. Man, bring back the pony express.
hehehehe,
here goes the great one’s poll #’s…………..again
what a waste of our nation!! this guy is not very smart!!
Obama stated that the Govt was making duplicate payments to private insurance companies from Medicare in the amount of $370 million or so…and this is how he plans on funding some of the increased cost to insure more folks.
JUST A THOUGHT….BUT IF THOSE PAYMENTS ARE NOT REQUIRED. WHY NOT STOP THEM NOW????
WHY WAIT??? SAVE THE DAMN MONEY AND STOP IT NOW??? IF HE TELLS THE TRUTH, THEN IMPLEMENT IMMEDIATE COST REDUCTION….NO ONE IS HURT BUT THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND HE HAS MADE THEM THE DEMON/DEVIL/EVIL PEOPLE ANYWAY.
STOP THE OUTGO….STOP THIS PAYMENT NOW. DON’T WAIT FOR CONGRESS TO PAY OR NOT PASS HEALTHCARE VOMITREFORM.
And there are still people in this country who believe that this is a man who has any clue what he’s doing?
The USPS is a dinosaur. Let it die the death it deserves.
Six day-a-week delivery is for Grandma’s era. If you can’t do something in the regular work week – forget it. Competition is a beautiful thing.
Survival of the fittest.
what a f&*k*ing idiot!!!
Without his teleprompter he’s a jerk!
THE POST OFFICE is a model for our government health care…God help us.
The USPS delivers more mail in one day than FedEx and UPS do combined in a year, and it’s a lot cheaper than the private courier companies. But they’re still in business. It’s a decent analogy to make. Another is imagining if nearly 50 million Americans were told that they didn’t have “Education Insurance” and so they couldn’t send their kids to school. But private schools are still in business, right? Why is public education a more important right than public healthcare? And what is so scary about having a reasoned conversation about this instead of talking about “death panels” and “Washington trying to rush a bill through Congress?” When you scream and say nasty things about the President, you don’t sound patriotic. You sound afraid of logic.
That must be one of the biggest gaffes I have seen from Obama. The US Post Office has a complete monopoly, by law, for mail. UPS delivers packages, not mail. FedEx is an overnight courier service, not mail. Neither compete with the USPS for first class mail because that would be against the law.
Ha! Talked himself into a nice little circle. Shameless hypocrite and liar.
I started “RATIONING CARE” about 40 years ago. Listen to the DIVER here – http://www.fatboy.cc/live_from_chappaquiddick.htm
Mary Jo, victim of “KENNEDY CARE” – http://www.inlibertyandfreedom.com/mjk.htm
Remember, folks. Americans are agile and creative and productive. We can outthink the government on this. Starve the beast and it will die. Our government can’t compel us to work — and we can be productive in ways other than making money. They can only come after our money via taxes. They can’t compel us to work — that’s slavery. So, if we go into economic hibernation, we’ll rid ourselves of the greedy lot in Washington — those leeches won’t stick around, but will migrate to other hosts. The government will atrophy, and when things are healthier again, we can reemerge, financially productive. The only way to pull this off is to pay off debt, asap, then live well below your means. Those during the Great Depression made it, so can we.
“Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”
I still say replace members of congress’ current insurance model with the one they’re proposing, and then see what kind of ammendments get added and dropped.
The post office is a government entity, Obama. Man, you’re even dumber than you look. I used to be bummed that we’d be stuck with you for four years, but now I’m quite sure that you won’t make it through the first term.
Talen (continued) +1
Uhhhh… Duh… He must have forgotten that government runs the post office, while the private sector runs UPS and Fed Ex.. Can you say, Open mouth insert that big ugly foot of yours…
Wow, I actully agree with him. But my guess is the teleprompter had a brain fart. He made a great point that the goverment is a total failure but the majority of the American People already knew that….Obama = FAILURE
Maybe Obama thinks UPS and Federal Express are government run!
He sure stumbles without that teleprompter, even before an audience that was cleared beforehand of any people against socialized medicine.
BHO is just as HONEST as I am – http://www.SWIFTVETS.com
What an idiot! DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HEY OBAMA….YOU CAN SAVE MONEY AT THE POST OFFICE TWO…RIGHT NOW.
JUST QUADRUPLE OR SEXTUPLE THE RATE OF JUNK AND ADVERTISING MAIL. YOU WANT TO TAX BUSINESS AND THE RICH FOLKS ANYWAY, SO WHY LOSE MONEY ON THESE LOUSY BUSINESS MAIL DEALS….ALSO, REPEAL ABSOLUTE FRANKING PRIVILEDGE FROM CONGRESS. MAKE THEM HAVE A BUDGETTED AMOUNT OF FREE POSTAGE, THEN MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT OUT OF CAMPAIGN FUNDS, OR GET SOME LOBBIEST TO PICK UP THE COST.
OBAMA…..SHOW US SOME ACTION AND NOT SOME DANCIN AND SINGIN ON THE STAGE….YOU ARE A DO NOTHING BUT TALK GUY SO FAR. YOU EVEN HAVE TO HAVE TWO WHITE GUYS DO YOUR CURSING FOR YOU…EMMANUEL AND GAITHNER….WHIMPO.
CUT SOME EXPENSES NOW…IT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL GOOD!
Fedex lost about 800 million last quarter.UPS did good.
A postal service and a military are both mandated by the Constitution. (you know that pesky document that keeps getting in the way).
How much profit did the military make last year?
This man is so completely out of touch! There is simply no equitable comparison
between FedX, UPS and the Post Office!
What a great gaffe, who wants a health care system run like the post office. I don’t want to be in a system run like the Post Office, DMV or IRS. This is what people who are rightfully opposed to the Government sticking it’s nose where it doesn’t belong have been saying all along.
Finally took the training wheels off the teleprompter, eh Barry? Way to just shoot from the hip there buddy. Please keep these gems coming. At least until 2010 anyway.
Neither rain, nor snow, nor dark of night shall stop your doctor from his appointed rounds, unless it is Saturday or unless you lick extra stamps.
Psst Hey Obama…your fly is down…lol
There must be catch to what he is saying. Gibbs will make some story about how great the Government Post Office is. You wait.
I’ll give you all a real example of the Post Office. My company has a Business Reply mail. We pay for that service. The person in our Post Office who handles all of our Business Reply mail is on vacation for two weeks, returning 8/18/09. Now, all of my Business Reply mail just stops, not to return until they return. Boy if I ran my business that way, I would be out of business. That is exactly my point. There is ZERO accountability in Government Run Anything! ZERO. So you just wait for the Healthcare Pelosi, Reed, and Obama are going to give us.
I better start working out more, that will be my only chance.
ANEXIO, you are truly nuts. You have backwards, the federal Goverment does not run anything well. Look at social security, medicare, medicade, community reinvestment act, Amtrak just to name a few. All of these programs by the way were started by democrats and should have been eliminated by the republicans when they had a chance. You are living in a cave!
Bush really ticked of the people who do not pay taxes or contribute in this country to put this complete idiot in office.
And this fraud is also claiming we need to do this ASAP. He’s either supremely arrogant or incredibly clueless.
And Fed Ex and UPS wouldn’t have even started as businesses if the USPS was doing the job correctly. That being said, their service is better, now that they have competition. Oh, and about the $3-6 billion deficit they are running this year??
HAHAHA — keep getting this guy off script!! And he gets worse the more stress he’s under.
But the USPS is a monopoly enshrined in law. Fedex and UPS are not permitted to compete directly, and pay millions in fines every year for “competing” with the gov.
