October 5, 2009: Healthcare Photo-Op FAIL


The Obama administration must be feeling the heat brought on by all its recent failures. What else would explain this?

WASHINGTON -- President Obama yesterday rolled out the red carpet -- and handed out doctors' white coats as well, just so nobody missed his hard-sell health-care message.

In a heavy-handed attempt at reviving support for health-care reform, the White House orchestrated a massive photo op to buttress its claim that front-line physicians support Obama.

The physicians, all invited guests, were told to bring their white lab coats to make sure that TV cameras captured the image.

But some docs apparently forgot, failing to meet the White House dress code by showing up in business suits or dresses.

So the White House rustled up white coats for them and handed them to the suited physicians who had taken seats in the sun-splashed lawn area.

Another ham fisted attempt to make it seem like all the world supports President Obama's plans. The administration is trying too hard and trying too hard is the quickest way to lose respect in the eyes of the American public.
