It's Green Bay's Fault

What utter nonsense from the Green Bay Press Gazette. Head line, "Obama's health-care push began in Green Bay."

If this health care reform started in Green Bay then let us blame the people of Green Bay. If Green Bay started this boondoggle then I and many others (what, over 60% of people against this health care reform) are not from the Green Bay area. Who is kissing who's rear end here. The Obama administration show's utter incompetence on homeland security ( pantie bomber) and now we have to read puff pieces from the Green Bay Press. As Walter Matthau said , Lovely, just lovely

"Obama's health-care push began in Green Bay
President discussed plans during visit to school in June

The debate over health care kicked off in June when President Barack Obama used Green Bay Southwest High School as the backdrop to announce his vision for what he characterized as much-needed reform."

Congress took one step closer to a final bill on health care Christmas Eve when the Senate voted for an overhaul that would require most Americans to have insurance.

The Senate's bill must still be merged with legislation passed by the House before Obama could sign a final bill, and there are significant differences between the two measures.

Yes, a step closer to socilism in this country.

The House bill has stricter limits on abortion than the Senate, and unlike the House, the Senate measure omits a government-run insurance option.

But both would expand coverage to millions of Americans who don't have insurance, a significant goal that Obama outlined in his speech in Green Bay.

Millions, you heard it here folks. And Granny and Uncle Stanley will go before death panels to get turned down on their health care.

Using Hobart resident Laura Klitzka's personal struggle with medical bills for her breast cancer treatment as an example, Obama spoke to a 1,500-person crowd in the gymnasium of Southwest High School of the need for insurance reform and expansion of health care to millions of uninsured through a federally regulated national exchange.

Did we all forget it was not an open event. Only lefties in the area were in attendence.

Those on both sides of the various bills introduced in Congress over the summer clashed at public venues across the country and here in Northeastern Wisconsin.

Specifically the inclusion of a public option in the insurance exchange concept — a provision later removed in the Senate versions of the legislation — drew criticism from those who portrayed it as leading to government-run health care.



U.S. Rep. Steve Kagen, D-Appleton, faced people upset about the proposed reforms at listening sessions and town halls throughout the 8th Congressional District during the August recess. Supporters countered those with pro-reform rallies and gatherings before Congress returned to session.

Oh, it's those evil people who attended Kagens listen session that don't want health care reform. Steve Kagen stood up against the evil right wing tea party people. Steve Kagen is our hero per the Capital Times. How many pro-reform rallies were there? I only remember the one Kagen had at UWGB. Remember the union thugs patrolling the event.



Green Bay started the the health care reform, not something I would admit. What a joke. As Rush Limbaugh said last week, those evil people protesting at all those listening sessions delayed the health care reform vote till December of this year. That's the real story. The reporter should of wrote about how Kagen's 1st August listen session started the fight against health care reform. The MSM is working overtime trying to paint Obama and liberals like Steve Kagen in Washington in a positve light when everything is falling apart around them.

Let;s all blame Green Bay for Obamacare.
