"Doctor Nancy" on MSNBC reporting that Obama will outline his plan with NO public option

[Stinky The Clown]

Now ...... this is "Doctor Nancy" ..... and there is no attendant statement from the White House of which I am aware, but this is what is being reported. She said this plan, without a call for a public option, will be announced next week.

1. From what I have read on here about her and from her.. I don't care for her positions and

I hope this is projection and not fact.

[tridim]

2. Wishful thinking by Doctor Nancy

I guess she knows who butters her bread.

[Autumn]

3. Who the hell is "Doctor Nancy" and

does she know jack shit?

[Stinky The Clown]

6. The noon spokesmodel on MSNBC

Longtime health reporter for NBCNooz.

Big Med flack.

[Autumn]

9. Okay. I just don't watch fox or

MSNBC.

12. Unlike other women anchors she is a Dr. So whether you like or or not the sexist

spokesmodel thing is really sad for you to say about her.

Newsreader yes but why get sexist....would you call Sanjay Gupta a spokesmodel?

I've never heard DUers use that to describe a man anchor only women.

[gkhouston]

14. I'd say they treat her like a spokesmodel by referring to her as "Dr. Nancy"

Unless, of course, her surname is "Nancy". Or maybe she's a pediatrician and MSNBC's audience is comprised of five-year-olds?

[xultar]

20. I call my Dr. Dr. Jackie and my vet Dr. Sam what is the problem with that?

Lighten up Francis.

[Stinky The Clown]

21. The term is gender neutral

Do you check under your bed at night.

I have probably used the term to describe NBC's Jeff Rossen more than anyone else.

But you go ahead and have fun making shit up.

Would I call Gupta a spokesmodel? I did. When he was mentioned as Surgeon General.

Be more discerning in your view of "DUers".

mmmmkay?

[babylonsister]

4. And she probably got her info from politico, which is why

they and the 'media' are so dangerous. That's today's meme. Do you think she'd 'waste time' talking to anyone from the WH for clarification?

[sinkingfeeling]

5. Wasn't it just last week that the President held a virual townhall meeting with OFA and recited his

3 principles for health care reform? Including a public option. Who you gonna believe?

[butterfly77]

22. What the media have been doing all week..

is coming on telling us there will be no public option,they keep bringing on these so called commentators who keep repeating it yesterday on Ed's show,Geraldo keeps repeating it,Chris Matthews and others. I guess they think that if they keep on saying it we will give up and believe it and I say.NO!

I and many others I know will not give up just because the media puts their spin on the issue without giving all the facts. GOT THAT MEDIA!!!THE REPUBLICONS ARE NOT IN CHARGE WE ARE!!!:dem: :dem: :dem:

7. Dr. Nancy puts the "snide" in Snyderman.

:thumbsdown:

8. I hope she's wrong. He should come out STRONGLY in favor of a public option

or it will be disappointing, to say the least.

[endless october]

10. if there's no public option, the bill is useless.

scrap it and start over. that's where i'm at on it at this point. read the Rolling Stone article. maps out the situation perfectly.

you know, who do i have to vote for to get a real bill? large house majority, 60 friggin' seats in the Senate, the Presidency, and single payer is off the table? and public option is off the table? really?

seriously, you have to be kidding me.

[Laelth]

11. +1 n/t

:dem:

[gkhouston]

13. "start over" is another talking point the R's are recirculating. It's bullshit. Gibbs'

presser today should give the best hint of what's really happening but I think this "dumping the public option" stuff is bullshit. Now that the Republicans have "walked away from the table", and it's clear they're not interested in any reform of any type (something I think Obama has known all along), why give up the public option?

[endless october]

23. good. i hope the repubs do walk away.

they've done nothing but make the bill into a piece of shit gift to the insurance / pharmaceutical industry.

we sent a significant majority of Democrats to Washington. time for them to start behaving as such.

[lamp_shade]

15. I'm pretty sure she said "... as reported in Politico".

[redqueen]

16. LOL

Are you serious?

It reads like a joke... but if it's true, even better!

[orleans]

17. tarot card reading? crystal ball gazing? is she psychic? n/t

[librechik]

18. Obama will be making a huge mistake if he kicks his base in the teeth.

We are not in the mood for any bullshit when folks are dying!

[spanone]

19. you sure that's not carnac? how the fuck does she know?

[Javaman]

24. And when he does offer a public option, what do these water carrying

repukes say then?

Tools.
