President Obama took a day trip to McLean, Virginia to promote his howling dog of a healthcare plan. He made it clear that his opinion is the only one worth hearing.
“But I don’t want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don’t mind cleaning up after them, but don’t do a lot of talking.”
Who in the hell is he accusing of making the mess? The veterans who show up at the Town Halls? The retirees? The soccer moms?
The President, who supposedly taught Constitutional law at University of Chicago, must have skimmed that dang First Amendment a little too quickly when he was speed reading the Constitution.
Thanks to reader Cody for the tip on this story.

This website is of such poor quality, no wonder white inbreads are on the decline.
Excercising my constitutional right,
White Law Student
You got into law school, yet can't spell the word "inbred" properly?
Its called Heckler's Veto, it excludes a person from shouting down another from exercising the same opportunity to speak and it needs to be better enforced. If you believe your right, why not say your bit, then sit down and shut up and allow others to speak. But this is modern day conservative politics, mindlessly shout half-conceived soundbites to prevent reasoned people from speaking their mind. You might even gain some representation in government if you knew how to be a civilized human being.
Obama: "I don't want the folks who created the mess to do a lot of talking. I want them to get out of the way so we can clean up the mess. I don't mind cleaning up after them but, don't do a lot of talking"
Definition "the mess"
1. Medicare/Medicade = gov't lack of management & oversight.
2. Wall Street = gov't lack of management & oversight.
3. Banks = gov't lack of management & oversight.
4. Financial Institutions = gov't lack of management & oversight.
5. FannieMae = gov't lack of management & oversight.
6. Social Security = gov't lack of management & oversight.
7. National Debt = gov't lack of management & oversight.
So now We-The-People should shut-up because WE created the problems! And sit in SILENCE while gov't takes over a Public Healthcare Program, and suddenly finds NEW MANAGEMENT and OVERSIGHT SKILLS !!!
Heck, even as an Australian, I want to see Pelosi carried to the kerb and dumped in the gutter.
OK, the obligatory Christian wish notwithstanding, I hope Nancy-Silly-Twat sees the truth and embraces truth, rather than the Democrat party line.
Pure hubris.
yes virginia, there is a constitution, but it's only for democrats.
BTW, for years we have watched wacko leftists and their friends at the labor unions and Acorn "create" a public outcry with the likes of Cindy Shehan etc. And the liberal media willingly plays along making it look like these fools actually represent the majority of Americans. Where are all these peaceniks now? Surely if it was true grass roots they would have gone appoplectic when Obama refused to bring the troups home in the first hundred days, or when he expanded the war in Afghanistan. Funny these concerned citizens are nowhere to be found now that the One is Commander in Chief. Did you see pelosi's comments that the people at these town halls are too well dressed to be real citizens -- no, nancy, real citizens are well dressed because we have JOBS to go to and don't have time to show up to protest at every turn -- it just takes something like this healthcare crap to wake the sleeping giant. I find it hilarious that now that the dems are getting a taste of their own tactics they are not amused --
A prime example of skewed reporting. It's obvious from the speech he was talking about wasting of time. Nothing to do with the First Amendment at all.
Of course, because telling people that they can't say anything he doesn't agree with about this reform isn't violating the First Amendment. I bet it's because he's the first black president. That must be why.
It is never obvious what Obama is talking about . . . for some reason the most eloquent man who ever lived has to have an army PR operatives issue mountains of clarifications . . . especially after Drudge posts videos of the man when he thought no one was looking.
Absolutely. Don't waste time with people who don't agree with you.
