The NY Post points out Obama’s “Mission Accomplished” moment. Or, better yet, his latest one.

Yesterday on MSNBC, Tamron Hall (who, when she worked in Chicago at a Fox station, landed a plum one-on-one with Candidate Obama, and briefly attended Jeremiah Wright’s church “6 times”) claimed (without support or citation) that “recent polls show that 70% of doctors and nurses support major healthcare reform.”  Do 70% of doctors and nurses support nationalizing healthcare, Tamron? No, they do not. Despite the misleading “450,000 doctors can’t be wrong” campaign on Youtube, they do not. Some major medical organizations have endorsed HR3200, maybe, sort of, (even though, as Newt Gingrich pointed out, that’s not what they’re going to bring up when Baucus and a couple other senators and a handful of staffers get done working up the actual bill which doesn’t yet exist) but we’re really just saying that a lot of healthcare workers are tired of things as they currently stand. Wow. Real specific. Thanks. Oh, and I guess a several million people can be wrong about their votes for candidates other than Barack Obama, but 450,000 doctors  the panel of representatives of those 450,000 couldn’t be wrong about this. Apples and oranges, I guess.

 Reporters still high from the Copenhagen hash gushed about how the busy, busy President took time away from wasting spending investing a few million dollars of taxpayer money to lobby for Valerie Jarrett’s investments in Chicago the Olympics to come to Chicago in 2016 to review his war strategy. Obama was overheard saying “Oh, so these green guys represent Army dudes, and they fly in helicopters and then shoot missiles from their ships out in the ocean near Afghanistan, okay. What color are the Taliban uniforms?”

The 3 million jobs lost since the stimulus and the almost 10% unemployment rate (1933, we’re gaining on you!) triggered coded talk of — yep, more stimuli. Because the old one was supposed to keep unemployment at 8%. Oops! Guess those service sector jobs will do the trick. Or not. Oh, snap.
