Yes he did. And this was not the only time during today's townhall in Nashua, NH where The One appeared more than disconnected from his flock.

-- Reward healthy lifestyle choices: Providing premium rebates and other incentives to people who make healthy choices or participate in management of their chronic diseases has been shown to reduce costs and improve health.

-- Cover young adults: A large portion of the uninsured are people who cannot afford coverage after they have "aged out" of their parents' policies. Permitting young people to stay on their parents' plans longer would reduce the number of uninsured and keep healthy people in insurance risk pools -- helping to lower premiums for everyone.

-- Refundable tax credits (for the uninsured and those who would benefit from greater flexibility of coverage): Redirecting some of the billions already spent on the...

You are simply making too much sense.
That's a problem for some.

As you say, the dems could have made a statement by accepting just one aspect of the ideas offered up by rep's:
-- Voluntary purchasing pools: Give individuals and small businesses the opportunities that large businesses and the government have to seek lower insurance costs.

-- Portability: As people change jobs or move across state lines, they change insurance plans. By allowing consumers to "own" their policies, insurers would have incentive to make more investments in prevention and in managing chronic conditions.

-- Lawsuit reform: It makes no sense to ignore one of the biggest cost drivers in the system -- the cost of defensive...

said: "like i said, ya got nothing. you proved it with your response."

I can see how my response may have confused you -- after all it was based in reality, apparently a gray area for you. The rep's didn't come in a make HC demands - they came in with ideas that cost virtually nothing more than a pen stroke to try. The dem's were the ones who said "we won" go home, we are going to PUSH this on Americans.

PL said: "there is no splitting the difference with you"

Project much? Rep's have been playing nice with dem's for years, which has cost them their entire base. Wake up PL, your side is intolerant to rep's ideas, AND personalities. Your side attacks the people of America (TEA Parties) for not agreeing with you,...

you're saying that 'shrieker is a reality-checker? oh man. thanks for making my day. you guys are really lost..

Jo: like i said, ya got nothing. you proved it with your response.

all the Reeps did was come in and say "take it or leave it," and then went "waaaahh" when we left it. there is no splitting the difference with you children because you are slaves to your own imagery, and you think that any budging is a breach from "truth." but one can drive a truck between what you think you know and what you really know. we have seen that, over the past years and decades, as all those cheap moral certitudes drove our country into the ground. you clowns are as far from the truth as you think you are close. whether the...

Do you understand the idea of your character being cross-contextual? i.e. how you behave in one area of life is how you behave in the others...

College Transcripts?
Birth Certificate? (not that I really care).
Certain relationships?

Transparency? He is so secretive about himself, do you really think he grasps the idea of transparency?

"take a look at the Christmas bomber? singing like a canary. why? "

Uh, because his father is making him fess up. So, I guess then the lesson learned is to round up other terrorist's parents and make them talk?

Btw, its 10 weeks later. Much of what he knows about has been changed or destroyed (locations, emails, etc). There is a very small window of opportunity to capitalize on thi info. Those Man-causers of disasters are smart enough to clean up the mess in case their pawn survives.

Well then ... that ELIMINATES *I WON* Obama, and Pelosis NON-NEGOTIATION of, "we will go over the gate, climb the fence, pole vault, and air drop our HC bill for the American people"

Thanks for proving my point. Very well done!

And for the record a REAL adult doesn't "go along, to get along" when it comes to law or principals. They do what is RIGHT.

um, idiot..it takes 60 when the Reeps are the minority. in that 60, you had everything from that socialist in VT to that bitter fool from CT. it would have been nice to have a grownup Republican step up and negotiate.

a grownup negotiates. he does not say, "here is our plan, take it or leave it." that is what a child does. a child stamps her feet. a child holds her breath until her face turns blue.

A grownup is different. a grownup says, "here's what i want, here's what you want--how do we split the difference?"

Now, we all know that you Reeps have "answers" to all of our country's problems. In many ways, those "answers" created our country's problems. but we all know that you clowns have ideas--juvenile and simplistic as they are. please tell me--tell everyone--in what way the Reeps have sought to split the difference? this i gotta hear. i know you are angry about Obama putting his own phraseology on that Cheneyesque...

Isn't it amazing that the libs keep saying the obstructionist repubs are keeping things like health care from passing. These clowns cannot admit that even with their huge majority they could not come together. Seems they love spending so much that they are fighting amongst themselves over who can spend the most.

Perhaps they should look up the meaning of the word.

Definition - deliberate interference with the progress or business especially of a legislative body.

As the Repubs were not in the room when the backroom deals were being struck and they did not have the votes to stop anything from being passed I would say that the real obstructionists were the dems themselves. After eight months they are still not on...

You make me laugh with your lameass attempt to project your own ignorance and immaturity onto the President.

What you don't seem to want to admit is that this President schooled your dim GOP 'leadership' last Friday, and now you are following their damage-control talking points in order to restore faith in the ignorant souls that swallow GOP nonsense whole and without question or rationality. It's pretty pedestrian stuff, really, and quite clear that you might even have a shred of realization that you are in the Party of Nincompoops. So, now what do you do? Dissemble and convolute, of course. Too bad you're also too dumb to realize you're doing it.

I know but they utter such STUPID ignorant remarks like:

"Now there is an adult in office. the children on the right are doing everything they can to keep him from governing..."

PL must have made a typo and meant "on the left" since reps' don't have the votes to stop BHO/congress' agenda. Congress could pass ANY bill they likes today, and Reps' couldn't stop them.

To the readers -- until Brown is seated the ONLY obstructionists are DEMOCRATS.

It was not anyone but a Pathetic Liberal who coined the term, "The Messiah".

They would have you believe that you are responsible for this.

Thank goodness for internet video. And, the Left thanks Louis Farrakhan for everything he's contributed---well, except for, "The Messiah":

Here's all :48 seconds of it---from January, 2008:

deaf, dumb, and blind...

Pathetic Liberal is an idealogue masquerading as some, New-Age Liberal, who thinks she's been absolved of past-Liberal tenets.
Why?
Because, she thinks her party elite registered a resounding, "I WAS WRONG" moment when Bill Clinton actively campaigned (1992) on a "non-welfare state" platform.

Jo.....now hold on there, I know, yes, I understand. Indeed, you are right, Jo.
Clinton never did campaign on a "non-welfare state".
Yes, I know, it's all a ruse by those who would rewrite the history of Clinton's agenda.
And there you have it. The incredible dishonesty of the Left and what they espouse.
What's that, Jo?

"Obama is a grownup"

BHO has been acting like a CHILD. To republicans: "I won, so I want health care, and I want THIS HC Bill and only this HC bill."
His selfish tantrums are pitiful -- akin to a child winning a foot race and demnading the RED lollipop as his prize and only the red one, not the green one. Or he'll cry.

Well until MA anyhow -- Now the juvenile wails: "I want suggestions, but never mind you poppy head republicans I don't want YOUR solutions."

Or how about his juvenile rantings "I didn't do it. Bush did it! It's not me, it's not my fault. My year in office doesn't count. Not fair..."

He has been throwing one tantrum after another, and blaming EVERYTHING on...
