WASHINGTON — A group opposed to President Barack Obama's health-care proposals is planning an ad campaign to run locally while the first family vacations for the week in Martha's Vineyard.

Conservatives for Patients' Rights said more than $150,000 was spent on the television ads, which urge the president to abandon his proposal to include a government-run health insurance option. The ads will run in the Boston and Martha Vineyard's markets, including spots that will air during the series between the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago White Sox, Obama's favorite baseball team.

Rick Scott, chairman of Conservatives for Patients' Rights said: "While President Obama is vacationing in the surf at Martha's Vineyard, Americans are growing increasingly anxious that the public option will raise costs, not lower them."

Obama brought all this on himself by not being tough and using the power he was given!

That's right.... I've been waiting with baited breath for Obama to snarl and hiss into the microphone.. To start one of his " speeches " with a tirade of chesting thumping profanity laced invectives . Calling e'rybody a MowFoe SOB with his nostrils flaring and threats being dispensed at a rate of 15 an hour.

What America needs is an Image of Angry Black Man telling everyone who disagrees with him or his agenda to kiss-his-a$S.

We needs is a cross between Julia Sugarbaker and Don Rickles..
.

I know that's what I VOTED FOR !

In 1997, as part of Richard Scott's severance package from Columbia when he was terminated by Darla Moore, the wife of Richard Rainwater was paid $5.13 million and given a five year consulting contract at $950,000 per year.
Guess where fraudulent Columbia Homecare went to?


1997 + 5 = 2002

In 2002 FBI raided the offices of National Century Financial Enterprises in Dublin, Ohio

“This case is one of the largest corporate fraud investigations involving a privately held company headquartered in small town America,” said Assistant Director Kenneth W. Kaiser of the FBI Criminal Investigative Division.

Leo Wise, now at the OCE said: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a case of staggering fraud," 'It is one of the largest frauds the FBI has ever investigated.

Remember, in 1997, HCA was the LARGEST HOME HEALTH CARE Company in our country.
Guess where ALL of those Columbia/HCA Healthcare Corp. - home-care units were?

National Century Financial Enterprises- the "...the largest corporate fraud investigations involving a privately held company headquartered in small town America,”

THE CEO got 30 years!

Guess who the one and only acquittal was in this FINANCIAL FRAUD case- the largest in small town America?

The EX-CFO of Columbia Homecare- James K Happ!

Lol this is hilarious watching this administration and its lemming followers implode and feed on its own blue dog offspring in the process. Don't forget to pull the race card as much as possible! Oh and making a snarky remark about Rush or FOX News always helps too!

So stupid. The extremist base will ignore the fact that Bush spent more time on vacation than any president in history, but that little fact will not get past the independents.

the anti-reform group, those are the folks sponsored by the health insurance lobby that profits by withholding patient care, limiting access to diagnostic processes, and limiting access to medical intervention procedures so that health care CEO's can profit off of patient distress. Great group of people to advocate in any capacity for anyone's health care. It would be nice to remove the profit motivated middle man from the health care equation as well as the mildly retarded who do their bidding.

Obama needs to take a rest. Stop all politics for a week. This is for his own good as well as ours--he's been in our faces for too long now and needs to give us a break. Come September, he can get back to work. If he spends any time responding to lunatics or Republicans (isn't that redundant?), he's wasting his time and ours.

Another contribution from health care insurance hack Rick Scott.
Good luck with that Massachusetts audience.
You should have donated the $150,000 to those without health care.
Oh wait, you are working for the health insurance industry so the public 's well being is not in your interest.
