In his latest push for a health care overhaul bill, President Obama spoke to doctors in the White House Rose Garden yesterday. Painting a nice picture of the event were many media outlets that neglected to mention the White House’s doctoring (forgive the pun) of the audience in an attempt at a powerful photo-op.
Doctors attending the event were instructed to show up in white lab coats to give observers the feeling that doctors stand behind the President’s health care plans.
“White Coats in the Rose Garden, as Obama Rallies Doctors on Health Overhaul,” read a New York Times blog post headline. “The roughly 150 doctors assembled wore white lab coats under the brilliant fall sun,” the Washington Post recalled. The San Francisco Chronicle wrote, “Obama faced rows of smiling doctors, all wearing white lab coats.” NBC News also noted the white coats donned by the doctors in attendance.
But none of these media outlets mentioned that the White House had to hand out lab coats to a number of the doctors in attendance who showed up in business attire. Apparently trying to drive home the image of medical professionals applauding the President, the White House would not start the press conference until all of the doctors were dressed in the “spiffy” outfits, in the President’s words.

I BELIEVE-"NOTHING" THAT COMES OUT OF OBAMA''S LYING-HOT AIR-INDECISIVE -MOUTH AS HE IS NOT A LEGAL CITIZEN WHO BELONGS IN THE POSITION HE IS. HE PAYS AND CONTINUES TO PAY FOR COVERING OF HIS DIRTY DIRT AND ALL THE OTHER CHEATS AND CROOKS BACK THIS EVIL SITUATION. SHAME ON ALL OF THEM!! IF HE CONTINUES TO GET AWAY WITH ALL HIS ILLEGAL DOINGS HE WILL BE" MIGHTY BIG HARD FISTED RED DICTATOR". WHAT EXACTLY HAS HE ACCOMPLISHED BUT DISRUPT OUR COUNTRY-NOT GETTING HIS WISHES-BLAMES IT -"RACIST".
Doing best what an empty suit and his minions do!! How long will the senseless masses continue to suck up the main stream media brainwashing bias, and subjective reporting?
Obamas' press conferences are like kindergarten skits. I guess when you are trying to impress mental midgets you have to get on their level.
Lucky for him he hired the right talent too.
Just another example of what a fake Obama is. He wants what he wants and if he has to be a complete phoney ass to do it and make those around him the same he doesn't mind. Arriving in business attire was totally correct.
Why does the MSM continue to whitewash everything Obama does? Why has it taken me over a year to learn about the youtube revelation by Larry Sinclair, and then, doing my own research, learn about Obama's other homosexual ties, and the murders of 3 of those? Also learned through research of his use of cocaine since he was a senator. Last I knew, that was a felony, and how can a felon be POTUS. I am so upset about all that is being hidden from the American people regarding the past, immorality, sexuality, drug use, lies, and the list goes on, of all the things Obama does. I don't believe a word that man says, and I wouldn't trust him alone with any little boys. When will this man be 'outed' for who he really is, and set our country free??? Guest SilentNoMore
Why doesn't one of the large anti-Obama health care groups get a large gathering of doctors in business suits and stethoscopes to pose for a photo op of "Doctors Against Government Health Care" and make if twice as big as Obama's?
The main stream media would cover that for sure! They would do everything in their power to "cover it up"!
Oh, of that I am sure; but they can't TOTALLY cover something up; Fox News would cover it and some independent services would as well. But they point would be that just because Obama gets a bunch of "doctors" together for a photo op, doesn't mean that ALL the doctors agree with him. And it might make the MSM feel a bit uneasy being one-upped.
Knowing how this president works-I could not believe a word he mouths!! Who knows-were these "white coats" MD's or maybe PHD English professors etc. from some liberal college!
I guess, we will never know.
Dubious
This Pres Obamacare Doctor Photo-Op Was Staged, What Another Black-Eye For Robt Gibbs To Spin Out Of, Yikees, And The Way The Obama Zombies On ABC In-House Spin Doctor Operates, Yikees, More Black Eyes For The Manchurian Pres Obama And Paperless, Yikees.
You do realize that this was not only typical of EVERY president since Reagan, but also that this was almost a year ago, right? Yikees.
