No speakers at work, please transcribe :)

"We got an issue in America
Too many good docs are gettin out of business
Too many ob/gyns are unable to practice their...their love with women all across this country"

Ordinarily I would make a point about President Bush's famed inability to speak well, but that sounds like it was a well written joke. That was pretty funny.

i doubt it. it sounded like he was searching for the word to used, and just thought of the first thing that came to his head. why did he pick obgyns though?

maybe he was thinking of....

for a few reasons. One is because the insurance they have to pay is so high to stay in practice is insane because of the lawsuits that some have had against them make it a very tough job. Another reason is that it is a direct dig on Edwards who is a lawyer that made his hundreds of millions from frivolus lawsuits of OBGYN's and later on the lawsuits that he won were found to be won on a falsity and that the entire argument that he used was false an that the problems the children had was in no part due to the doctors.

werd.
It's actually kind of a crisis, not just a political fabrication. There are an alarming amount of OB/GYN doctors who are dropping the OB part (the delivering babies one) because their premiums are so damn high. It's a tough issue because it's hard to criticize parents whose kids are screwed up because of some kind of complication. But then again, childbirth is a complicated thing, and if you penalize doctors anytime anything unexpected happens it will prevent them from performing hundreds of successful and healthy births. Just my 2 cents as a pre-med student. ;)

oh ok
