Announcer 1- Everyone wonders in amazement, what the heck is going on. Will Obama make a touchdown with the healthcare ball or will the stupid bluedogs fight against Obama for the very thing that is causing us to lose our game(i.e. health of our people which effects the economy greatly)? Announcer 2- Oh, whatever! We already know everyone elected Obama and expected immediate results and now that they don't they want even give him the time of day. People are reneging now like they are playing a card game not knowing the health of our nation is at risk.
