He's opening a Chiropract­ic clinic and insurance companies won't pay for his services
so of course, it's ALL OBAMA'S FAULT!!!!!

Jacob Volkmann On Obama: 'Someone Needs To Knock Some Sense Into That Idiot' (VIDEO)


After UFC's Jacob Volkmann beat Antonio McKee in a fight this weekend, Fanhouse's Ariel Helwani asked him who he would like to fight next.

At first, the 30-year-old said MMA fighter Clay Guida, but then he called out President Barack Obama.

"Actually, Obama. He's not too bright," Volkmann said. "Someone's gotta knock some sense into that idiot."

Helwani then asked if he was a fan of Sarah Palin. Volkmann said "no" and explained that he didn't like what Obama was doing.

"I'm a chiropractor," he said. "So I know the health care situation is not good. But he's making it worse."

Scroll down to watch the video.

4. ""I'm a chiropractor". Modern day witch doctor. The sooner
people stop being taken in by pretend science, the better.

5. Why are they called chiropr actors?
Edited on Tue Jan-04-11 02:33 PM by Uben
Shouldn't they be called doctor actors? Because it is all an act. I went to one only once and will never go again. I left in more pain than I went in with so I went to my GP. He said put some ice on it (lower back strain)and stay off your feet for a few days. It cleared up in about three days. The "doctor actor" wanted me to come back in every day for a week for treatment. What a fucking scam!

7. I always call them chiro-quackters
but some people swear by them, including some people who live with chronic pain. Dosn't bother me if they are wasting their own money, but I think more and more insurance companies are covering chiroquackters and that's costing us non-believers too.
