Obamacare Is An Epic Disaster? Just Blame The Republicans

Whoever bet money on the prop bet that Obama would finally blame the epic debacle that is Obamacare on the republicans can now retire.

• OBAMA SAYS ONE REASON FOR ROCKY HEALTH CARE ROLLOUT WAS THAT REPUBLICANS ON "ONE SIDE OF THE HILL" WERE INVESTED IN ITS FAILURE

Because it was obviously the Republicans who sabotaged the 3+ year rollout of Obamacare, and handpicked the "outside" contractors who made healthcare.gov such a smashing success. At least Bush walked away unscathed.

And now back to watching Obama as he channels the TOTUS.

Not saying it is the case, but a more likely explaination is over on techdirt:

http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20131010/01484924821/

"the federal government basically handed this project over to the same crew of giant government contractors, who have a long history of screwed up giant IT projects, and almost no sense of the "internet native" world. 

The Sunlight Foundation (link above) figured out the list of contractors who worked on the site, and noted that the big ones not only are well-known DC power-player insiders, but they're also big on the lobbying and political contributions side of things."

So, essentially, campaign contributors got the work. Gee, how predictable.

The real kick in the nuts is that SalesForce.com offered to build and maintain the ACA site for 5 years, FOR FREE!!! Of course, Obama and crew chose to dump $1 billion on a turd that doesn't work.

[tenpanhandle]

as does the jism...oops did I just say that.  May I be with the starving pygmies in....

[nmewn]

The lies & obfuscation were deep and wide ;-)

"...back to June 23, 2009. The House Education and Labor Committee, chaired by Democratic Rep. George Miller, held a hearing on a draft of Obamacare. Christina Romer, then chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, testified.

Among the Republicans who questioned Romer was Rep. Tom Price, who is also a doctor. Price pressed Romer to cite a basis for the president's promise, and in the process predicted much of what would happen more than four years later, in late 2013. Obama's promise fell apart right there in the hearing room. Here is the Price-Romer exchange:

REP. PRICE: You also mentioned, as other folks have, that the president's goal -- and it's reiterated over and over and over -- that if you like your current plan or if you like your current doctor, you can keep them. Do you know where that is in the bill?

MS. ROMER: Absolutely. And things like the employer mandate is part of making sure that large employers that today -- the vast majority of them do provide health insurance. One of the things that's-

(She didn't say where it was in the bill, she didn't answer the question.)

REP. PRICE: I'm asking about if an individual likes their current plan and maybe they don't get it through their employer and maybe in fact their plan doesn't comply with every parameter of the current draft bill, how are they going to be able to keep that?

MS. ROMER: So the president is fundamentally talking about maintaining what's good about the system that we have. And --

(Avoiding the question)

REP. PRICE: That's not my question.

(Its like herding cats at this point...but it gets better)

MS. ROMER: One of the things that he has been saying is, for example, you may like your plan and one of the things we may do is slow the growth rate of the cost of your plan, right? So that's something that is not only --

REP. PRICE: The question is whether or not patients are going to be able to keep their plan if they like it. What if, for example, there's an employer out there -- and you've said that if the employers that already provide health insurance, health coverage for their employees, that they'll be just fine, right? What if the policy that those employees and that employer like and provide for their employees doesn't comply with the specifics of the bill? Will they be able to keep that one?

MS. ROMER: So certainly my understanding -- and I won't pretend to be an expert in the bill -- but certainly I think what's being planned is, for example, for plans in the exchange to have a minimum level of benefits.

(From absolutely knowing its in the bill to...sumpin)

REP. PRICE: So if I were to tell you that in the bill it says that if a plan doesn't comply with the specifics that are outlined in the bill that that employer's going to have to move to the -- to a different plan within five years -- would you -- would that be unusual, or would that seem outrageous to you?

MS. ROMER: I think the crucial thing is, what kind of changes are we talking about? The president was saying he wanted the American people to know that fundamentally if you like what you have it will still be there.

REP. PRICE: What if you like what you have, Dr. Romer, though, and it doesn't fit with the definition in the bill? My reading of the bill is that you can't keep that.

MS. ROMER: I think the crucial thing -- the bill is talking about setting a minimum standard of what can count --

REP. PRICE: So it's possible that you may like what you have, but you may not be able to keep it? Right?

MS. ROMER: We'd have -- I'd have to look at the specifics.

(Stupid or lying, it doesn't matter at this point)

Oh, it gets better than that, my dear nmewn. Have you read the lovely Miss Barnhardt's post today? The entire website is not just a failure, but a fake.

http://www.barnhardt.biz/2013/11/19/toldya-toldya-confirmed-today-unemployment-numbers-all-faked-and-obamacare-website-code-never-even-written/

#TOLDYA #TOLDYA Confirmed today: Unemployment numbers all faked AND Obamacare website code NEVER EVEN WRITTEN.

I don’t relish in this.  I put these posts up to make the point that there will be absolutely no room for any arguments about how “we had no idea that the Obama putsch regime was malevolent” or “we were taken totally by surprise”.  As I have been saying for years and years, PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR GOVERNMENT, and an iniquitous gutter republic, such as yours (I renounce any association or connection to the abortion of an overthrown nation-state formerly called the United States of America  - I am stateless) that has the temerity to STILL crow about being “the land of the free and the home of the brave” and further continues to wave a now-meaningless founding legal document that begins with the words, “WE THE PEOPLE…”, oh you have NO possible argument to make.  You own this, and there is nothing “surprising” about any of it.  This was all EASILY called YEARS ago.

Let’s start with the confirmation today of the Obamacare website being a non-functional false facade; a Potempkin Village.  Yep.  I called that here on October 19th.  Item 3.  Let’s see.  These people all lie, and Chao admitted today that 40% of the code has yet to be written, so that probably means that 80% of the code has yet to be written.  Hmmm.  That would mean that there was just enough code written to get people’s personal information…   And they launched a website knowing full well that it wouldn’t function BECAUSE THE UNDERLYING CODE DID. NOT. EXIST.  Chaos and crisis is the objective, people.  If you cannot comprehend this, then there is basically nothing that can be done.  Mark my words, the “fix” will be “Medicare For All”, aka Single Payer government controlled health care from top to bottom.  And they’ve set it up so that you people will be literally BEGGING them to do it.  So. Totally. Predictable.

Next, let’s go WAY back and revisit some of my comments on the fake-fake-fakety-fake unemployment numbers, which were confirmed as such today.  Let’s also take this opportunity, while we are looking at obvious, repeating-like-clockwork tactics of Marxist tyrannies, to revisit the terrifying zenith that history tells us is very, very much a possibility here:

7.8%?  I called it months ago.  So. Predictable.

…In my opinion, the “best-case scenario” would be continued inflation at roughly the pace we are experiencing now until Obama is removed from office. I am of the considered opinion that there is absolutely ZERO chance for any stabilization or recovery so long as the Obama regime holds power. ZERO. Why would there be? The Obama regime is actively and consciously trying to destroy the United States and its economy.

Do you think these people are going to wake up one morning, come to Jesus, and suddenly stop their war against this country? I wouldn’t count on it.

Further, don’t be fooled by ANY statistics coming out of Washington D.C. The unemployment numbers are as fake as a three dollar bill. So are the consumer confidence and consumer price index numbers. They are completely and totally fabricated, and will show “improvement” as we move closer to the 2012 elections. It has already started with last week’s completely phoney unemployment figures.

Analyzing these figures is as much of an absurd waste of time as analyzing Chinese economic data. THEY’RE MAKING IT ALL UP. IT HAS NO ANCHOR IN REALITY WHATSOEVER. Don’t be a patsy. Don’t be their stooge. WAKE UP. Look at the price of gold. Look at the price of crude. Look at the price of cotton. Look at the price of corn.

I look at these analysts trying to act like they’re above it all, dutifully studying and quoting these fraudulent datasets in a vain attempt to map “analogue years” and interpret all of this as if it were somehow normal. The only word that comes to my mind is: PATHETIC. It’s just pathetic to watch people living their lives in denial just because they want to maintain their position in their social circle or industry clique. PATHETIC. What’s worse is that they are willing to sacrifice the wealth and well-being of their clients and consultees in order to maintain their deluded little worldview. Don’t you be their patsy. Don’t you be pathetic. Don’t you fall for their deluded denial of obvious reality. Please.

And then . . . 

POSTED BY ANN BARNHARDT – MAY 4, AD 2012 8:55 PM MST

3. Once again, just making sure everyone understands the sickening farce that is the “unemployment figure.” I said last year (on the radio) that the reported “unemployment number” would be UNDER EIGHT PERCENT no matter what in Q4 2012. Sure enough, it appears that I will be proven exactly right. Is this because unemployment is going down? HELLZ NO! Real unemployment is climbing consistently, and is probably north of 20%.

I’m not psychic. I’m not a prophet. I don’t hear voices. I simply am NOT STUPID, I have read history, and I have the stones to acknowledge obvious, objective reality. How anyone could NOT see all of this stuff coming is completely beyond me. You can see all of these things coming miles and miles away.

And by the way, this applies to my fears about Obama being assassinated. Seriously, how stupid and balless do you have to be in order to honestly argue and believe that COMMUNISTS are not capable of killing anyone? How stupid and balless do you have to be to convince yourself that COMMUNISTS, who murdered AT MINIMUM 250 million people in the 20th century alone, would be incapable of murdering a dim-witted, drug addicted homosexual puppet in order to completely overthrow and cement power over the largest economy and largest military force the world has ever seen?

IF Obama is false-flag assassinated, there won’t be any “chain of succession” issues. Joe Biden will never, ever be POTUS, no matter what. If Obama is false-flag assassinated the Constitution will be suspended, a “provisional government” will be announced and martial law declared.

I shouldn’t be surprised by the abject and complete ignorance of history – even recent 20th century history, the normalcy bias and tunnel vision anymore, but I still am.

I am worried that Obama will be taken out by his own people for exactly the same reason that I called this phoney-baloney unemployment crap months and months ago – because it is ALL SO INCREDIBLY PREDICTABLE, and the populace is too stupid and deluded to even see how predictable it all is.

[midtowng]

Actually the Republicans do have a hand in it: because Republican governors/legislators managed to exclude 24 states from the ACA.

   That's millions of Americans who don't have the chance to sign up.

[Steve in Greensboro]

That is not true.  Citizens of those States which decided not to establish their own State exchanges could go to the Federal exchange and sign up.

That is, if the Federal exchange was actually functioning, which it wasn't.  It wasn't on its original launch date, 10/1 and it still isn't.  And there is no indication yet when the site will actually function.

But of course, Obama told us in a presser that we could call 1-800-FUCKYO and sign up over the phone.

But the clowns on the phone had to use the same non-functional website to sign you up, so Obama's promise that you could sign up over the phone was a lie.

Just like the lie he told when he said "if you like your plan, you can keep it.  period."

Just another example of the axiom that "there is no problem so bad that the U.S. Federal government cannot make it work."

Free market in health care and health insurance now!

[SDShack]

So according to you, those states should have spent hundreds of millions of their own taxpayer dollars to set up a website to implement federally mandated 0zer0care. Federally mandated 0zer0care that is paid for by Federal Tax dollars, a significant portion of which is ALREADY paid for by the citizens of said state. If I was a Repug gov, I would say "No" also because that is a total waste of state taxpayer money. You are essentially charging your citizens twice... federal taxes for the federal website, PLUS state taxes for the state site. I say the Repug govs are the fiscally smart ones, and any Dem gov just proves they love to spend other peoples money for the sake of enlarging govt. Let the Feds pay for it like their stupid federal mandate says. It's called accountability.. something you seem to know nothing about. You seem to be part of the "let someone else pay for it" crowd and are to stupid to realize you already have paid for it once, and instead are asking to get shafted a second time. 

[MontgomeryScott]

BUT:

YOU voted for Repubs like 'Butch' Otter!

SO, if I was a BOUGHT and PAID FOR 'Republican' governor, I would tell the sheople, "Gee, I don't like it, but the Congress passed it, so it's all right."

You're either a plant for the false dicotomy, or just really stupid, SDShack 'Omega'.

Either way, get a grip on REALITY.

[Blues Traveler]

Midtowng, It is not about the websites - Thank God O'corrupion has caught up to him -  The o'liar bill is one of the worst polices ever written, period.  It is so out of bounds and it clobbers, the productive peopel.  I don't know one person who is not compassionate and more than willing to help people who cant afford healthcare, but this bill is no about healthcare, its a giant trojan horse of ideology which is out of alignment our consitution, liberties and principals of Freedom.

[MarsInScorpio]

It's time to quit lying to ourselves and admit we have a mentally ill president.

He suffers from delusions of grandeur - believing that all he has to do is wave his hand and it is now reality. King Canute is his role model.

This is the result of his pathological lying - he lies about anything and everything - telling the world whatever he wants it to believe regardless of the reality surrounding his pronouncements. He is increasingly disconnected from reality.

He is kept afloat by a tight circle of enablers who cover for him and spin his lies. But that is changing.

I am making this statement not to be mean, but rather because it is time to seriously consider that Barack Obama is not mentally healthy. I am saying this because he is continuing to run farther and farther away from reality in his actions, and believes that whatever he says – becomes the made-over reality that exists only in his mind.

Take his statement that "100-million" people have signed up for ObamaCare - that's nearly 1/3 of the entire 315-million person population of the US. It is a number that prima fascia is irrational.

But Obama stated it as a fact anyway to his Obamabots in Organizing for America. They showed their lack of rational relationship by accepting the number - regardless of its obvious irrational ability to be true. As an aside, it shows that these people are brain-dead, and just accept that whatever Obama says is the truth - with no rational vetting whatsoever.

That's truly scary.

But scarier still is this: NO ONE in the WH dared correct him. No statement came out saying so much as issuing the typical lame excuse that he "misspoke." Nothing. The WH enablers fell silent.

Why?

This is what makes their silence so scary: It means that the WH aides are at a point where they so fear the mad king's wrath that they will abandon reality for his irrational fantasies. They will no longer be a wall of reality constraining his thinking to the Real World.

In short, they are no longer Gatekeepers, but rather like “Alice in Wonderland,” they are the cards painting the roses red for the insane Queen of Hearts.

"She wanted white - then said what a fright, now she's wants red instead; so we're painting the roses red, we're painting the roses red - can't say no we won't, because if we don't, she'll want our head instead!"

That is mental disconnect. That is insanity. That is Barack Obama.

Don't apologize for thinking him ill; he is ill.

And this latest exercise in waving his hand, and thinking that reality magically changes when he does, shows Barack Obama is disconnected from reality, and must be removed from office before his mental illness drives him to even more desperate, irrational thinking.

[GeezerGeek]

Apparently he's been lying since at least his teenage years in Hawaii. Look where it got him. Lying has worked for him in the past, so why should he change tactics now? 

[TheReplacement]

You are late to the diagnosis debate.  He has already been determine to be a mentally sick individual.  However he is not delusional but rather sociopathic as have his closets allies and advisors.  He is making mistakes because the pressure is on.  The facts around Obamacare don't matter to him as much as completing the destruction.  You see, a content people will not rise up.  A discontented people can be goaded into it. 

We are nearing the tipping point.  The 2014 elections are really the next key event.  If Obama allies can take control of both houses of Congress then he has a rubber stamp to rule by fiat.  If not, what is plan B? 

Plenty of people on the right have been talking about revolution for a while now.  People on the left have been talking, plotting, and planning for this for decades.  What should scare you is not that his dimwitted supporters swallowed "100 million" but what other decidedly more pointed calls to action to which they might march.

Suppose you want to stage a violent takeover of the US from within.  How do you do it?  There are just too many armed civilians who would oppose it.  You know the military will be split, at best.  If you start the shooting you will be an international pariah.  You have to get someone else to start the fight.  Incite the minorities to rebel against the majority.  Remember the majority is split.  The initial target might be all of the uber rich who have gotten fat from government largesse at the expense of the poor and middle class.  The only problem, there aren't enough of these uber rich to feed the masses.  Besides, more than a small percentage of these people will simply get out of dodge.  The result would surely be spillover to the majority population at large but targeted by community so supporters aren't killing too many fellow travellers.  Once the police have utterly failed to stem the violence and it becomes a race war you can step in to save the minorities from the bad majority and still be saving the good majority which makes everyone feel like you are being fair.  A paper could be written on the execution of the plan but let's just stop here. 

The scary part:  Is the above possible?  How improbable? 

To figure that out we have to determine if he is a fascist, socialist, communist (which variant), elitist, islamist, or you-name-it-ist.  If he's a fascist or a communist then the plot above is entirely possible if not probable.  I can't truly figure out what he is so I can't make a very good assessment other than to state I don't agree with you on the nature of his "illness".  I'm only unsure of his ultimate goals and how exactly he intends to reach them.

[XitSam]

2014 elections?  Why do you think he delayed the requirement?

[buyingsterling]

Obama's short, medium, and long term plans are all the same: fuck over whitey.

He'll run game on as many uneducated whites as possible, getting them onto the government plantation. The rest will be the slaves who fund his free shit army. Bring in enogugh latinos who will vote democrat, and toss in a few more sandy hoaxes, and Obama will go for whitey's guns. Then he can sit in his bunker all day and watch his drones kill white people.  Those are his plans and his dreams in a nutshell.

[Keyser]

You want to really be scared? Obama has access to the nuclear football. If your assertion is correct, we could have a General Jack Ripper scenario on our hands. 

[John_Coltrane]

If he told his obamobots that CO2 is now 40 vol% of the atmosphere (instead of less than 0.04 vol% or about 10x less than water vapor the actual molecule that controls all heat transfer and thus surface temperature) they would likely buy that too.  Analytical thinking is not their strong suit (i.e. they are morons)

[GeezerGeek]

The figure of around 106,000 who signed up came from only counting the first 50 states. The remainder of the 100,000,000 reside in the other 7 states, where they signed up more than 125% of the population based on voter roles, not to mention another few million dead persons who intend to vote Democratic in the 2014 elections.

[midtowng]

Republicans managed to exclude 24 states from the ACA. That's not something that is made up.

What it means is that tens of millions of Americans don't have a chance signing up.

[MarsInScorpio]

The actual number is 36 states that did not set up state exchanges, and so their citizens must use the federal site. Nobody kept their state "out of" ACA.

All others are in states that did set up a state exchange, and they sign up through their state's exchange.

All Americans can - in theory - sign up.

Midtowng, you clearly don't understand how Obamacare is set up. IF the state sets up an exchange, then citizens who have lost their insurance can go to the state exchange. That's 24 states. If, on the other hand, a state does not set up an exchange, Obamacare expressly provides for a federal exchange to be set up. It's right in the statute if you don't believe me. That's where citizens in states without exchanges go to get insurance. 

In fact, the federal government set up a federal exchange by hiring Michelle Obama's college roomate's company on a no-bid contract (what could possibly go wrong??). And, there is a federal website up that is the federal exchange created by that company. To verify this for yourself, go to healthcare.gov. That's the federal exchange for citizens of states that did not set up their own exchange.

Of course, the federal exchange doesn't work very well, as you have probably heard. But I have a hard time blaming that on Republicans when crony capitalism (remember Michelle's roomate) and incompetence (Obama was warned way in advance the exchange was going to tank and did nothing) have tanked the federal exchange. Perhaps you think Republican governors should have set up their own exchanges because they should have know that Obama would f**k up the federal exchange?

Frankly, you're just another FUD victim of the Administration's various disinformation campaigns. Bush no longer works as an excuse for failure. So now it's generic Republicans. The other folks being set up as fall guys are the insurance companies and doctors. But Obama hasn't rolled out that campaign yet. Watch for it soon, though and remember when you see it that Breaker told you it was coming.

One thought, you might just consider the possibility that Obamacare was a really crappy program from the git go, sold with deliberate lies, and that Obama has done a crappy job of overseeing the implementation of the program.

[Chaos_Theory]

Too many words for an Obamabot.  Simple phrases seem to work, like "hope and change,"  or "forward."  Very similar (one might say earily) to Palin's "Drill Baby Drill!"

This man has no bottom left to hit ( i hope).

I really can imagine him stomping his feet having a full-on tantrum over being called out for the complete failure that he and his administration really is.

All he needs now is for the Wookie to give him a binky.

[ugmug]

They say republicans all listen to the dog whistles from their leaders that they can only hear, while democrats are all given dog licences and dog tags called Obamacare to signify who really owns who.

[Nothing but the...]

Not just a pathological liar but deranged and demented as well. Deny , deflect , divert and deviate is all Barry does these days , instead of taking full responsibility for his failings - tells you all you need to know about the man.

Nobody who rocks mom jeans can also be well hung.
It's science.

[Canadian Dirtlump]

There is a chap named Webster Griffin Tarpley who is very good with respect to geopolitics, but domestically ( US ) he's gone off the deep end. In the same regard as Berri blmaes republicans for somehow orchestrating the failure of the website, Tarpley has directly claimed that there is a distinct possiblity of multiple DDOS type attacks perpetrated by right with anarchists, as well as possible "moles" or "plants" funded by the koch brothers in key contractor positions.

As if somehow the republicans would have all laid healing hands on their computers instead of calling the law, it's architecture and roll out for what it is - a steaming pile of dog feces, all would have turned out OK.. LOL is right.

Too bad neither side can truly call it for what it is, a perpetual insurance company bail out. Meanwhile the professional wrestling match between the insurance companies and the white house continues.

[buyingsterling]

Republicans may not be responsible for the pathetic rollout of a pathetic law, but THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE if we have to continue to live under this law. They have a golden opportunity, but they are the stupid party. They're not as shrewd as the evil party. So don't look for them to put a serious alternative on the table that also serves as a point by point evisceration of Obamacare.

[Clayton Bigsby]

Fuck you Obama

[TeamDepends]

It feels good, doesn't it?

[Chewybunny]

I'd hate to offer anecdotal evidence, but sometimes it's poignant to the reality of the situation.

Because of where I live and the social groups I associate myself with inevitably a good chunk of my friends end up being liberal, as such we would headbutt each other about politics, economics etc, and i realized if I was to keep t hem as friends (because politics isn't the only thing that keeps me friends with people) I'd just stop bringing political issues up.

However the last year ro so, a lot of them have been talking about, critiquing, and posting a lot of negative things about the President they elected, and a lot of them feel very very disillusioned. They maintain their progressive ideals, don't get me wrong, but they are seeing what I've come to a realization as well (just at a much younger age) that Democrats and Republicans are the flip side of the same coin. I encourage them to always seek out voting for third party, no matter how marginalized, even if it's a party I strongly disagree with...anything to strip some semblence of power from Jackasses and Pachyderms.

[Occams_Chainsaw]

It's hard to put into words just how incompetent the Feds have become.  Latest word is the payment system is not even implemented yet.  So now people can't even pay for the overpriced plans they didn't want to have to begin with.

Well played TOTUS....well played.

[nmewn]

"Latest word is the payment system is not even implemented yet."

Wait.

Wut?

This means no one has actually been enrolled yet. On the planet I live on, if I enroll in something, they expect payment. With no payment system they can't even send a bill.

Better yet, I can say I already sent it!...lol.

What a three year in the making, 600 million dollar, centrally planned, clusterfuck.

[Occams_Chainsaw]

So I hope someone can correct me if wrong but it also sounds like the payment processing back to the medical providers are also not working.  You can't pay for your insurance and the insurance companies can't pay your doctor.  If this is true the whole thing undid itself.  What doctor in their right mind would accecpt any obamacare insurance at this point?

[nmewn]

Thats the way it appears, according to Chao (of course, he may have perjured himself last week, but thats something else entirely different) so who really knows, I don't think even they do, after this level of lying & incompetence it gets hard for them to remember the last lie, in order to cover up the previous deception done the week before.

The pull quote:

“There’s the back office systems, the accounting systems, the payment systems,” Chao said. “They still need to be built."

Obamacare was signed into law March 23, 2010."

Seems very efficient to me and just-in-time-delivery, by government standards ;-)

[jeff montanye]

grover norquist works one side. obama works the other.  between the two the concept of national government as anything beneficial is utterly destroyed.

[Ms. Erable]

Five years later and... Bush's fault.

[akak]

When Obama = Bush in every meaningful way (Wall Street bailouts, collusion with corporate fascism, warmongering foreign policy, enabling of Police State America via NSA, NDAA, etc, etc. etc.), one can in fact easily make that case.

[RSloane]

But...but....but.....he's black! That is the biggest difference between Obama and Bush.

[akak]

No, in fact, he is only half black.

Or as they used to say, "high yellow".

(With an emphasis in this case on "high".)

(Well, also, for that matter, with an emphasis on "yellow".)

[MarsInScorpio]

According to the NY Times Zimmerman ethnic classification system, Obama is White African-American.

[youngman]

The guy is crazy...he believes this stuff....just wait a year..this Obamacare will be a health disaster...people dying that had health insurance before...and millions of freebies to bankrupt the system..to where they have to jack up rates even more....so you think 200-400% increases this year..just wait until next year...and Obama says costs are going down..only a looney could say that

[Buckaroo Banzai]

Does he believe his own lies? Who knows. But in the immortal words of George Costanza, "Remember Jerry....it's not a lie if YOU believe it."

[SDShack]

It will come sooner than that. Just watch the retail sales implosion this holiday season as consumer retrench from 0zer0care sticker shock. This will be the new normal as consumers find their wallets about $100-200 per month lighter because of 0zer0care. Welcome to the new normal.... ongoing stagflation.

LIARS NEVER ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY OR SHOULDER THE BLAME.  BILL CLINTON WAS A MASTER AT THAT AS WELL.   

I JUST WONDER WHAT THE WORLD WOULD LOOK LIKE UNDER ROMNEY.  

SOMEBODY HAS TO HAVE SOME BALLS TO MAKE REAL CHANGES IN THE WAY WE VOTERS PERCEIVE THE ROLE OF GOVERNMENT.

ONCE EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT EACH LAW IS A CHAIN OF ENSLAVEMENT, AND THAT UNREAD 2,300 PAGE LAWS ARE BLATANT SLAVERY,

   THEN MAYBE WE WILL HAVE A MINDSET TO REALLY FIX GOVERNMENT.

TROUBLE IS, THERE WILL HAVE TO BE HUGE PAIN BEFORE THAT HAPPENS.   

OBAMA AND BERNANKSTER ARE RUNNING OUR HEADS RIGHT INTO A BRICK WALL.  I JUST HOPE IT HURTS ENOUGH.

EVEN STUPID PEOPLE (OBAMA VOTERS) ARE GETTING IT, THAT HE IS NOTHING BUT A MANIPULATIVE LYING SUCK.

[Sudden Debt]

IT'S NOT THE PRESIDENTS THAT FUCK UP!!!!!

IT'S THE IDIOTS WHO ELECT THEM!!!

EVERYBODY GETS WHO THEY DESERVE!!

Our president is a guy idiot who picks up boys in parks and who's a total retard.
I didn't vote for him, 76% of the people didn't vote for him but still he's president.
But we're also the idiots who keep these perverts into power!

I got a headache just readin that.

[ExpendableOne]

President Biden.  Yes, it would probably be better.  Now, please put me in the car and shove it over the cliff....

But then who will kill me???

Oh, I forgot, the governement.

God Bless America.

[Dr. Venkman]

Having been subjected to Biden's crooked, cheap, cheating ways in DE for 30 years, I think he would be worse, and I hope we never have to find out. And I loathe the current president.

[tenpanhandle]

sorry but you're already halfway to the chasm bottom and picking up speed.

Mr. pResident,

thank god that crackhead mayor from Toronto is stealing all the headlines.

Oh, c'mon now...obviously it's George Washington's fault.  He was a racist too, don'tchya know...Ophrah be sayin' so, mmm hmmm...

[gdiamond22]

Is it not enraging, pathetic and downright miserable to see and hear all of the scandals and corruption encircling this man, this government, this country and people are much more tuned into football and the weather? Oh, its just government 'doing thier job'. I'm an optimistic person and always look for the bright side of things, but we are so very FUCKED.

[mofreedom]

Yeah, I'm trying to think how my older kids will survive...the younger ones may have a chance if they can march thru the cropland with 40 pounds on their nacks without bitching to the point of alerting the nazis...the older ones will likely OD on drugs in HS or college before the end times near...hell I did the best I could, it's still a semi-free country you know.

Anyway, I blame the MSM and the estalishment republicans for allowing this pessimism and disease to fester in our culture.  The democrats, by their nature, are not at fault becuase a dog always returns to his vommit, a pig to his slop, a welfare queen to her SNAP.

Blah!!!

[lasvegaspersona]

I wonder if anyone in the 'watchdog' (that phrase always makes me laugh) media will ask for a single instance in which there was sabotage. Yes there was no help (shit not a single Republican voted for this mess) but please explain how they stopped you from doing your job.

This president does not know how things work! He does not understand organizations, he can't comprehend the idea of 'the loyal opposition' and he doesn't seem to be able to even give orders.

Plus he is a big crybaby.
