That’s what they’re told to think. I remember being told in 2004 when I had serious questions about how to promote John Kerry and was told that I would just have to “Believe” the nonsense I was being handed.
Remember, Prohibition was once law of the land too. All Ocare’s going to do is encourage back alley appendectomies with coat hangers now. I keed.
We still have the military Tricare and they notified us in 2010 about premiums, copays and deductibles going up to “fit” the requirements of the “new law”. It was just a few dollars, but ever the pessimist, my husbands waits for the other shoe to drop. I’m just thankful we haven’t been a) dropped b) paying thousands more.
A Republican President with Republican majorities won’t repeal it either. They will change parts of it around, but they will retain the individual mandate.
I think the establishment of both parties and their insurance company partners like the bill and would like to keep it. But if it’s as bad as it seems to be, either side, after Obama, will need to change it or replace it.
I fear change for the worse. Keep the forced mandate. Maybe cancel the exchanges and allow a pure sellers market for purely individual plans. But make sure we are forced to buy those plans.
Retain all the Obama incentives for employERS to cancel insurance for their employEES. Maybe privatise and voucherise medicaide and medicare both. If the coming Republican majority tries to privatise the VA Hospitals and/or Tri-Care, they may get stopped by veterans and service/retired-service members themselves. (Though I could imagine the Catfood Democrats attempting to privatise VA-care and Tri-Care in honor of Obamacare. Could they get just enough Republicans to get such a thing passed? If so, would a Republican President sign it?)
Romney right again: if you want to get rid of Obamacare, you have to get rid of Pres. Obama.
Fuck every single person who voted for Obama, voted 3rd party, stayed home or spent even one second during the GE criticizing Romney instead of Obama (not that I don’t think Obama wouldn’t have found those 340,000 votes to “win” in FL, OH, VA & NH anyway, mind you).
this speech is just stupid. he is just reselling this thing, not at all apologetic about screwing millions of people who had it for those that didn’t have health insurance already. he loaded this audience with obamabots. they are all agreeing. this isn’t a press conference asking him tough questions. this is pure propoganda.
“They are hoping for health care to fail.” he says. Passive-aggressive Obama is planning a public appearance to pimp Obamacare everyday this month. It will be a big joke in three days and he will give it up. And ValJar was sitting on the front row supervising him.
yeah but these were for sure all allies of the law. these audience people and the people behind him were surely vetted. that standing ovation was pure propoganda. but the media won’t see that it wasn’t at all a room of anyone who doesn’t agree with the law.
I can’t help but think that it is civil servants who are being punished for some reason. Agency managers in DC saying things like “Send Melvin. No one will miss him and he’s an idiot. And remind him to take his narcolepsy meds.”
i do hope the numbers continue to be low so that this law dies.and the ironic part will be it will die because youngens who voted for him won’t sign up because it doesn’t make sense for them to sign up because it is too expensive. death spiral because of his own voters…
Did anyone else notice how he stumbled a second when he reached tbat part where they’d deleted the “If you like your plan you can keep your plan” part?
True, but don’t put it past them to sell on Latin American QVC or HSN. Not quite the same standards but then again…zerocare is for the “little people.”
I honestly thought he was gonna announce something new, like another executive order granting an exemption or extension. Maybe even the “resignation” of one of his lackeys.
I never had personal distain for the man, hated his policies and wars, but Oblahma doubled down on them. It’s what gave birth to the Tea Party in that “you’ve got to be f**king kidding me?” sort of way.
President Obama just delivered this message to House Republicans from the White House: We’re not going back. We’re not repealing the Affordable Care Act. Period. (We couldn’t agree more.)
Right now, John Boehner and his Republican attack dogs are trying to bring down the law by searching for a handful of anti-Obamacare stories to screech about.
We know for every one of their stories, there are a hundred stories about how repealing reform would hurt Americans who are counting on the Affordable Care Act. You might even have your own. Maybe you have a child with a preexisting condition who can finally get affordable coverage, or maybe you received a health care rebate. There are so many ways the Affordable Care Act is helping people across the country and we think you might be one of them:
Click here to tell us your story — how would a Republican Obamacare repeal hurt you?
We can’t let a few Obamacare skeptics ruin health care reform for millions of Americans. Let’s overwhelm John Boehner with the stories of how repealing the Affordable Care Act would affect real Americans:
Give us your stories!!! Well, if they help us. Remember, we’re not here to serve you or help you, we only want to hear from the minority who think we’re helping.
It’s gonna be a hoot when it finally comes out 404 has been the benefactor of a long undiscovered typo. Years ago some scientist considered him a separate sub-species but accidentally added an “i” to his descriptive term and ever since them people misunderstood and thought he was smart, not unique.
Announced on Megyn Kelly show: Obama administration has quietly told insurance companies—-since the back-end of website hasn’t been created where info/payments are made to the companies for enrollees—–to just ESTIMATE how much they are owed and the government will send them a check.
That means they have given up and just want to throw money at the insurance carriers to solve it for them and sign people up directly. Obama always does this. He makes a mess, gets tired of something and just throws it to someone (anyone) else to clean up. He wants to “Move On”. Today he was angry and telling the Republicans in Congress to make some suggestions (damn it!) so he can dump it. I hope they tell the Dems to fix it since they passed it.
He’s officially late. Surprise, surprise, surprise!
To be fair, he wasn’t as late as he usually is.
The only Obama speech that I will listen to is when he resigns because of his lies, corruption and incompetency.
I agree. And with his resignation, the lot of the “advisors” and other accessories that the dumbass can’t live without.
You mean his posse?
Yes, they can be referred to as a posse. 😀
I’d pay to see that.
Ditto. I stopped listening to him in 2008 – and even then I cringed.
Amen Lyn. 🙂
What lyn said.
Okay, who had 11:46?
I’ve seen enough. Changing the channel.
He’s just re-reading a campaign speech.
“All the Sham, none of the Wow”
changed the channel and now I am watching elder skelder about elderly people who commit deadly crimes
What channel is that on? It sounds intriguing.

That’s what they’re told to think. I remember being told in 2004 when I had serious questions about how to promote John Kerry and was told that I would just have to “Believe” the nonsense I was being handed.

Dead puppies and dead kids. What a combo. They look so warm and fuzzy, don’t they.
Wow, you can’t even see the puppet strings from ValJay’s hands.
Fox cut away from his speech. CNN never showed it. Only MSNBC has it now.
They imagine people changing to the shopping channel when he is on air.
Ack, that means MSNBC’s ratings surge 😉 Though I think the smart politicos on the right tune into Cspan anyhow. I do.
Sounds like a great GOP ad.
honk
Sounds like a case for impeachment, derrrrr. 😉
BUT do we have to enforce it or could we simply ignore it?

HONK!!!! And it sounded EXACTLY LIKE THAT on the radio.
This is what “rebranding” sounds like.
“They are hoping for health care to fail.” he says. Passive-aggressive Obama is planning a public appearance to pimp Obamacare everyday this month. It will be a big joke in three days and he will give it up. And ValJar was sitting on the front row supervising him.
It’s all our fault, we aren’t clapping hard enough! We don’t believe enough!
yup….
what a waste of air time. this is just a long ad for obamacare. he is the worst president in my lifetime.
I’m pretty sure he is the worst one ever. Future POTUS will dread being compared to him.
If there is ever a president worse than Obama I hope I don’t live to see it.
There will be no other POTUS in our lifetime. Obama is Teh One forever! (I wrote this without puking.)
Really? How did you not puke? I did and I was just reading it.
Sorry. ;(
yeah but these were for sure all allies of the law. these audience people and the people behind him were surely vetted. that standing ovation was pure propoganda. but the media won’t see that it wasn’t at all a room of anyone who doesn’t agree with the law.

Just listened on radio. When did the WH get an applause track?
I would suggest a laugh track for re-broadcast.
^THIS!
Tweeted.
Did anyone else notice how he stumbled a second when he reached tbat part where they’d deleted the “If you like your plan you can keep your plan” part?
You just watch and see if the next speech isn’t done within the QVC shopping network.
Obamacare would not pass QVC’s quality control. They actually vet the products they sell
Obama’s speeches wouldn’t make it past the FTC because they are false and misleading.
True, but don’t put it past them to sell on Latin American QVC or HSN. Not quite the same standards but then again…zerocare is for the “little people.”
It was the massive underground water surge from the simultaneous flushing that first alarmed environmentalists.
I helped. Obama speeches work better than ex-lax and metamucil in prune juice.
I honestly thought he was gonna announce something new, like another executive order granting an exemption or extension. Maybe even the “resignation” of one of his lackeys.
Nada, zip, zilch, bupkis.
The donkey has dug in.
Doing any of those would force him to – like – govern!!!!!! No way that’s gonna happen.
Hope and change. 😆
Someone owes me for the keyboard I just spewed Dr. Pepper on!
I learn so much reading this blog.
Seriously – I was plugged up since last Thursday. Obama’s voice worked a miracle.
I am thankful for the Urban Dictionary. I have become so sheltered since I stopped hanging out with teenagers all day.
The first time I heard that expression (“pinched a loaf”), which was about 10 years ago, I thought the person was telling me he had stolen some bread.
For realz. LOL
I wasn’t talking about a marbled rye.
Obama is so bad he makes me miss George W. Bush, and I despise Dubya.
You are not alone Klown.
I never had personal distain for the man, hated his policies and wars, but Oblahma doubled down on them. It’s what gave birth to the Tea Party in that “you’ve got to be f**king kidding me?” sort of way.

Holy shit.
I estimate that they owe me $50 million. When are they sending the check?
Not to worry Megyn….keep on keeping on 🙂

IMO neither has a strong accent, I think the difference is caused by the fact that DWS always talks out of her nose. I hate her nasal voice.
