Unemployed Ohio Woman Confronts Obama After Health Care Pitch

"I was probably the only person in the room who wasn't clapping and cheering. I was standing there with my fingers clenched and shaking my head, 'No.' And I think he picked up on that and he wanted to maybe find out who let me in."

This doesn’t mean anything. In fact, she’s lone voice in the midst of cheering drones. Now, the Bret Baier interview….that was a confrontation! The other State-Run Media could learn from that interview.

What a dope!   March 18th, 2010 - 11:30 am

Hey, stupid, now that you are unemployed, how are you going to get health insurance that is affordable? Fat women are probably less likely to get a reasonable rate due to a pre-existing condition. So now if you choke on that extra Big Mac how are you going to pay for it, sweetie?

People like you are the ones who will benefit from this health care plan only you are too dumb to realize it.

Tired of Name Callers   March 18th, 2010 - 11:52 am

So, “what a dope” is apparently just another one of those people who think you have to shut up if “they” decide they’ve bought you and your silence by making you a potential beneficiary of their magnificent largess (using other people’s money, of course). Why, how dare she disagree when she might gain some personal benefit in the end! And the woman who disagreed is “stupid” and “fat” – wow, doesn’t that end the argument. I am so tired of hearing and seeing this type of nasty, childish, ad hominem attack, but it’s pretty clear this is the tone that has been set by this president.

Desiree   March 18th, 2010 - 12:00 pm

hey dopehead, what’s stupid is your post. She is one of the almost 10% unemployed in this country. You know the percentage that okenyan said would go above 8%. With this obamanationcare that
the kenyan dikhead wants to ram up our backside, many more people will lose their jobs and their current healthcare. What employer would pay for healthcare benefits
when paying the penalty is way less than the healthcare cost. The employee will lose that part of their compensation plus facing having to buy health benefits
on their own. Most health providers will not take new enrollees so you will be left with buying into the guvment plan. This is the way you get everyone
on guvment run healthcare. Plus dopehead, it’s unconstitutional. We need reforms, we don’t need a total revamping of the best healthcare system in the world. You
know the one that a Canadian guvment official utilized when facing a heart procedure. Why didn’t he stay in Canada and use the very same system the peasants have
to use? Some pigs are more equal than others.

another dumb Tea-bagger with no insurance   March 18th, 2010 - 12:04 pm

God, this woman is stupid! No wonder Obama wondered who let her in–she is probably a security risk.

What a hypocrite!   March 18th, 2010 - 12:08 pm

Tired of name callers,
Read the following comments by Desiree. But since she agrees with you, I suppose that “dopehead”, “kenyan dikhead”, and “pigs” are acceptable terms.

I’m sure that there will be more to follow.

Alexander   March 18th, 2010 - 12:10 pm

To the author of “What a dope”. Hey, you stupid, did you listen to what she said, before publishing your remark? Hell, now. She has family plan through her husband, which certainly is much better, then any government provided one. You Stupid never had one from the government, I had it in a former Soviet Union and do not believe, that american socialists will create somtihg better!

James   March 18th, 2010 - 12:17 pm

“What a dope!” typical callous liberal attack the messenger and not the message. Taking away someone’s job, raising their taxes, forcing them to become dependent on the government, and destroying the economy is hardly benefiting from this health care plan.

Hey don’t worry about facts, continue to being a leftwingnut misogynist bully.

Dumb and blonde. It figures!   March 18th, 2010 - 12:18 pm

Who let you in? Lady, I’s like to know who let you OUT.

libertarian416   March 18th, 2010 - 12:18 pm

@ “what a dope” – I won’t speak for her in paricular, but the overwhelming majority of thos of us that oppose healthcare do it on principle, not necessarily b/c we would or would not benefit from it. of course, there are also the concerns regarding the widespread failure of most other systems of socialized medicine in european countries. Mainly though, I object on principle to any and all government seizure of money from those that earned it to distribute it to those who have not. In short, I object to this on the same grounds that I object to medicare, medicaid, welfare, social security, food stamps, WIC… you name any social program and I feel the same about it. I’m not ‘too dumb’ to realize that I would definitely fall into the lower income category, and would most likely be wholly subsidized… I merely object to it in the same way I would object to mugging someone for their money (no matter how I use it, the theft and threat of violence would still be wrong.) Mugging is exactly the same as what the government does to get the money they fund these programs with… honestly, how many people would pay taxes if there were not the threat of “enforcement” by armed “law enforcement” agents?

What a dope!   March 18th, 2010 - 12:23 pm

Alexander,
How do you know if her husband’s plan is better than any government provided one? Also what will she do when hubby dumps her fat, freeloading can for a younger model that works? This is not a far fetched as it may seem since over 50% of American marriages end in divorce.

Unemployment obviously hasn’t hurt this woman’s appetite.

Paul Revere   March 18th, 2010 - 12:29 pm

Hey “What a dope!”, not everybody is a mooch. Some people just want to stand on their own two feet and be left alone.

Apparently you need somebody to hold your hand; we don’t.

BTW, congratulations on your “McDonald’s; fat women” comment. You’ve learned your Alinsky tactics well. And what’s interesting is that libs always claim to be for the little people; yet they always mock them.

Jules   March 18th, 2010 - 12:30 pm

Wow! “What a dope” must have been captain of the Debate team in high school with such a profound response. In reading the intelligent response, it doesn’t surprise me that he/she would need the government to take care of them. He/she’s just more dead weight on the back of the real middle class.

Bob Fletcher   March 18th, 2010 - 12:43 pm

To: What A Communist Dope; Above

Did it ever occur to you; you Communist, Socialist, Fascist dope; she is going to pay for it with her own money; or go with out? Instead of begging someone else to pay her way. You know: It’s called; “the American way.”

Now you run along; you little Commie; & worship at the foot of your life size picture of Stalin; kissing Moa’s rear end; or is that the Bamster.

Bob Fletcher

What a bunch of dopes!   March 18th, 2010 - 1:00 pm

That’s right, Bob, you dope, she is going to pay for it with her own money that she doesn’t have now that she is unemployed or she is going to do without. Yeah, I can see that! Hmmmm…I’m bleeding and need to go to the hospital. Oh, well, what the hay, I’ll go to the hospital and the state can pay for it anyway.

So tell me, what have you gained?

Lisa B.   March 18th, 2010 - 1:52 pm

What a dope: Folks what a dope is probably a paid shill of the democrat party. Doesn’t have an intelligent thought in his head, is probably working off a slur sheet, because he doesn’t know how to word a sentence. In other word, what a dope is a liberal pillow biting, bed wetting fool.

Desiree   March 18th, 2010 - 2:24 pm

hypocrite, the words I wrote were fitting and totally appropriate. I didn’t chastise dopehead for the saul alinksy tactics he and obviously you both use. I
fight saul alinsky with saul alinksy. You douchebaggs are stupidty on display. Now STFRU you whiny sniveling pimple faced ugly twit.

Desiree   March 18th, 2010 - 2:33 pm

Oh and hypocrite deal with the facts. What this woman and those (the majority of Americans that don’t want this unconstitutional nonsense crammed up our backsides)
are saying is this will destroy the very liberty and freedom we have in this country. If you want national healthcare, move to a country that has it. No one is
making you stay here. Our country would be better off if morons like you just left. Leave my country alone, leave our society free and let liberty prevail.

What ABOUT Dope?   March 18th, 2010 - 2:35 pm

Yo Barry, pass dat mess! You’s DEFINITELY smokin some crazy stuff!

Desiree   March 18th, 2010 - 2:45 pm

If the “benefits” don’t start for four years, where is all the tax money going that all of us (producers, not counting dopehead and hypocrite who both probably
live in mommy’s basement)have to start paying right away? Remember how social security was supposed to be in a lock box that these twits in DC couldn’t touch.
Social Security is nearly bankrupt. it’s an endless source of money for all the entitlements that make up the democrook voting base. Who would pay for anything
for four years before they could use it????? Duh!

Any of you that trust and believe this administration and deemocorruputocrats are dumber than the guy that knocked up dopehead’s mother.

Really, what a dope!   March 18th, 2010 - 2:57 pm

Actually, Desiree, I was thinking the same thing about you. If this bill passes will you leave the country? That would be a bonus! BTW the European countries that have so-called Socialized medicine are all democracies. How does that fit in with you destruction of the very liberty and freedom we have in this country?

I guess you just want to be free to be stupid.

GOD bless you, Ingrid, for standing up and speaking out!

America…continue the great fight…united we stand to take back our government and divided we all fall with America at the hands of Bilderberg Bush-Obama and his Democratzi ‘loons’!

KEEP CALLING/EMAILING AND DO NOT GO THROUGH THE GENERAL SWITCHBOARD IN WASHINGTON TO TELL THEM WHAT YOU THINK!

IT WILL BE OVERLOADED AND YOU WILL NOT GET THROUGH!

Go here instead to get the numbers/emails of your State reps:

2. At top…click on ’site index’
3. At left…click on ‘federal government’
4. In middle…click on ‘legislative’
5. Pick Senate and then put in your state
6. Pick House and then put in your state

This is the only way for you to make an impact…not the switchboard!

Blow it out your fat greasy pimple ahole dopehead. While you’re at it, get a job, move out of mommy’s basement and start living a responsible life. By the
way, the United States is a Representative Republic,not a democracy, moron. But by reading your posts, we can all see you don’t let a little thing like facts
get in the way of your stupidity and ignorance. Get yourself educated, you mindless twit.

Rex   March 18th, 2010 - 4:12 pm

Really What A Dope : Why do we want a system that has been proven over and over again that doesn’t work? I don’t want to live like the Europeans! I like the way things are here in the US – our system is the best in the world – we need some fixes, but not a government fix. Oh and by the way – we are a republic…..

IDIOT!   March 18th, 2010 - 4:34 pm

The security guards protecting Obama are a little ’slow’ on the job, huh?
She actually ‘opened’ up her purse, and pulled something out of it before his bodyguards got on it!

Liberty Lover   March 18th, 2010 - 6:15 pm

Young lady what a great job . you and others like you have spoken the real truth to power .
YOU liberals donot understand . IT is YOU who wish to be slaves to the state . NOT I .

FOR EVERY ONE THING THE GOVERNMENT DOES FOR YOU IS ONE LESS RIGHT YOU HAVE TODO FOR YOURSELF.

All socialism involves slavery. That which fundamentally distinguishes the slave is that he labours under coercion to satisfy anothers desires. Herbert Spencer

A government big enough to give you
everything you want, is strong enough to take
everything you have. -Thomas Jefferson

“The issue today is the same as it has been throughout all history,
whether man shall be allowed to govern himself or be ruled by a small elite.”
– Thomas Jefferson

The welfare of humanity is always the alibi of tyrants.” – Albert Camus

God Bless The USA   March 18th, 2010 - 9:13 pm

WOW! i think we should stop talking about heathcare and focus on the more evident problem we have here.

SCHOOLS or atleast a dictionary for you people.

before you try to attack some one for saying what you find unpleasant why not, i dont know learn how to spell. its ridiculous! also calling some one names isnt going to make them view you or what you have to say in a different way so if anything your only wasteing that much more of your life away typing it up. just keep that in mind next time you feel that little burst of empowerment at the tips of your fingers

FRED   March 18th, 2010 - 11:32 pm

INSURANCE TAKES A 17% CUT FOR OVERHEAD AND 6% FOR PROFIT. 23% OF EACH DOLLAR GOES TO INSURANCE. ADD DOCTOR’S STAFF TO DEAL WITH INSURANCE AND 1 OF EVERY 3 DOLLALRS GOES TO ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS.

33% GOES TO NO CARE WHATSOEVER.

DOCTORS (MOSTLY PRIMARY CARE) HAVE QUIT TAKING INSURANCE, GOT RID OF STAFF, LOWERED THEIR PRICES AND ARE HAPPIER MAKING AS MUCH AS THEY EVER DID.

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN AND IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. NEITHER DEMS OR REPS HAVE THE REAL ANSWER.

Joe   March 18th, 2010 - 11:58 pm

Give Obama another term and another Democratic Congress and the United States will be over. There aren’t enough people who will have the energy to carry the load for all the welfare sucking, healthcare freeloading, NON TAX PAYING, “citizens” of our ex great nation.

We’ve got all the baby boomers beginning to retire and there is no way they can all be covered under social security and medicare without ripping them off which is exactly what is going to happen.

Aetna up 3.7%

Cigna up 3.5%

Wellpoint up 2.0%

The Intrades on Obamacare being signed into law jumped up over 80% today.

All on a day when the rest of the market is down.

Is there any doubt that the health insurers own this bill? Any whatsoever? This is corrupt crony capitalism at it’s worst. This legislation is not what progressives think it is. This legislation is a bill of goods. You have been lied to by your own leaders. I would be embarassed to call myself a Democrat.

Absolutely pathetic. What a pile of @#$%&!.

So….health insurers do well. Trial attorneys do well. Union bosses do well.

Patients? Doctors? Taxpayers? Small businesses? Elderly folks? OK so it’s not perferct. But we have to do something.

Absolutely pathetic.

hypocritesReverwhere   March 21st, 2010 - 1:19 am

Isn’t the staff of Senator Baucus (remember him) a revolving door to the health care industry. How can one seriously believe health insurance will be affordable when the rates will be established by the foxes themselves? Remember The Pelosis, Obamas and Reids of this world consider themselves to be the elite; their affordable is not the average American affordable. I can hardly wait until the government (IRS guided by honest john tax paying Rangel) puts liens on the homes of Americans because they didn’t or couldn’t pay tribute to the health care insurance companies – the same ones who will be contributing to the democratic coffers! I’m now a Tea Party person; democrats and republicans are all suspect in my opinion. But, because this one party Marxist style government sucks big time, I’ll be voting (and actually working) for republicans this fall! Obama and company are usurping our Constitution in the name of health care! I’m still angry about Obama & Holder’s obstruction in the black panther voter intimidation case and the Walpin matter. Don’t you think it’s a little ironic that Obama, who touted himself as being Lincoln like last year, is now enslaving all America with his proclamations! I’m tired of his rope-a-dope-hope!
