A Tie Symbolizes The Obama Administration
March 6, 2009 | Posted by Chris C 
What’s short, silver, and makes a serious subject look silly?
On Thursday the Obama Administration opened up the summit on Health Care with a press conference on C-Span. Melody Barnes, the director of Domestic Policy began with a short speech about a bunch of people recommending everything but competition as a solution to rising costs.
Obama however failed to tell one of the speakers, Travis Ulerick (pictured on the left) that he was going to be on television.
Nice tie.
This is a man, by the way who was introduced as someone ready to “tell us what was discussed at this summit and what they believe should happen.”
Health care reform suggestions we should take seriously from a man who’s dressed for the high school dance? He isn’t even wearing a sport coat which at least would have covered up the little-kid tie’s lack of length.
It was bad enough Tim Geithner and Charles Rangel chirped about “tax fairness” the other day but now we have to take health care advice from someone who still wears a clip-on?
I would also like to point out that at the beginning of the press conference Melody knocked something off the podium and Obama picked it up for her.
So we have a klutzy director of whatever it is she does and a guy who looks like he is interviewing for a busboy position at Applebee’s helping to formulate health care policy you and I will pay for.
Is it 2013 yet?

Alex L.s last blog post..Saturday Serial
Hey, I think we should give a busboy from Applebee’s a shot at formulating the new health care policy. So far nobody else has been able to figure it out. ;-)

@Alex: Yeah, what the hell was he thinking? A completely unprofessional look.
This is what I mean. We screw up the Russian word for “reset”. We have a guy with a silver clip on tie introduce the president.
We look like were running a Boiler Room White House.
@Jeff: How about a waiter’s opinion? The problem is that health insurance is subsidized more then competitive.
It really is a simple solution: health insurance sold over the counter like auto and life insurance.
Problem solved. :)
No. Health care should be a lottery.
Welcome back Chris.
I bet $10 that guy was wearing running shoes as well.
