The Revolution in Cincinnatti

Oh, those "insurance executives" get around. Green Bay, Cincy--all at the same time!

In Cincy, the crowd was not pleased with the Blue Dog jackass.

Driehaus began with a canned statement of the typical Obama talking points and the crowd grew increasingly angry. A guy behind me yelled "Stop filibustering!" at about 7:15, at which point Driehaus gave in. He then started answering the written questions, mostly softball, that were picked out for him. The crowd started to get really rambunctious. One guy kept yelling out, "That was lie number (whatever)" when Driehaus repeated some nonsensical talking point like that there are 47 million uninsured.

You could hear a bunch of Tea Partiers outside yelling. Finally, enough attendees were sufficiently disruptive that Driehaus began taking real questions. There were a lot of good ones, about illegal immigrants covered under the bill... how the government couldn't run cash-for-clunkers, how could it run health care... etc.

The mind-numbed robots were played by NOW members, some of which did not need canes or wheelchairs to attend.

"At first, they didn't even allow people to ask questions. You had to write questions down and submit them."

I bet this guy thought that it was hunky-dory when George Bush did it.

and before you do it:

"Bush isn't president anymore! He's gone! Get over it! Why are you so filled with hate and rage. Blah, blah, blah."
