Gee, Ted, you talk about "Checking off Pink Boxes" for Health Care Insurance in the Senate..
and mention Democrats forego that option when ALL the Republicans choose having the government pay for theirs.

You forgot to mention to the People in Youngstown, Ohio, Hillary's Health Care Plan gives them the best chance for Health Care coverage rather than Barack Obama's plan that leaves millions in your audience uninsured.

Next time, try being a little more honest with the American People when you visit them on behalf of your client.

1. I'm taking off my gloves for the Kennedy's.
I believe that Obama triggers their grief for lost family members, his speeches are mirror images, echo's of days gone by when times were good and family was strong. They will never heal completely.

2. Besides what I've initially written...
Teddy dances around the Health Care message knowing as Solomon like as he can be at times, theres no cutting the baby in half with Obama's Plan that can compare to Hillary's Universal Health Care proposal.

Kennedy and Kerry aren't really adding anything to Obama's campaign, how can they? They've burned their bridges in in a grand attempt to overpower the only qualified Democratic candidate to walk into the White House after the General Election, Hillary Clinton.

From what I'm hearing the K-K endorsements and their Grand entrance has fizzled. Their 15 min of fame.. over.

Kennedy and Kerry both want the same thing they miss having from their own failed presidential bids...ACCESS to POWER! What they haven't considered is Barack Obama has no friends when it comes to power. Obama would lay them off as part of his downsizing of presidential favors just like he did to John Edwards..

6. Stop you snotty nose whining will ya.
For chrissake, all you do is point a finger, call posters names. Well I know we have a Presidency to win and your weak,sniveling approach is not up to speed. So, engage in discussion and/or debate. If you can't shit, then just get off the stool.

8. Payment does not need to be in dollars
What could a senior statesman like Teddy want in addition to his committees? He might want the UN. Nope. Or maybe an ambassadorship. Nope.

How about the continued presence of the fighters in Bourne, on Cape Cod. Or maybe a nice big natural gas terminal off shore. Or for the feds to stop the Cape Wind project.

What could Teddy want?

12. Possibly his name on a new health bill, his fat face in the news every night
Edited on Sun Feb-17-08 04:35 PM by anamandujano
leading the charge in the senate, all the while knowing that he is applying band aids.

He doesn't want the name Clinton on the plan that everyone in the country wants and needs.

Edit to add--Yeah, I've had it with Teddy. My respect for him has gone down the drain with his cross talk. Put your money where your mouth is Ted. We'll remember you for working to add grandeur to an already grand name instead of working for the good of your formerly noble stances.

10. I'll try to get to this a bit later.
But I agree with what you are saying about the K/K endorsements - I don't think they helped BO much. Give me young and fresh, like Wes Clark, and then I'll listen.
