Feeling chipper after Democrats prevailed over an ineffectively small Republican contingent in Congress to pass his multi-trillion dollar healthcare reform bill, President Barack Obama dared opponents to try to repeal it. Republican vows to repeal the law are fueled by polls showing a substantial majority of voters want them to do that very thing should they gain a majority in Congress in the November elections.
“They shouldn’t be so sure they’ll gain seats in the election,” Obama warned. “Voters love getting government handouts. Politicians who try to take them away usually don’t fare well on election day.”
The President added that “even if Republicans gain a majority it won’t be big enough to override my veto of any attempted repeal legislation. Remember, it takes a two-thirds vote in both the House and Senate to overturn a president’s veto. There’s no way they’ll win enough seats to do that.”
In related news, President Obama received a congratulatory note on the passage of his healthcare bill from former Cuban dictator Fidel Castro. Calling government control of health care “an essential building block for socialism,” Castro praised Obama as “the caudillo that America has long needed to forge a progressive future.”
Barack Obama - the coolest kid in junior high. I'll bet he stuck his chin out and did his best Benito Mussolini impersonation as he finished this statement.
Birds of a feather.
I would not put much faith in the democrat-lite Republicans taking him up on it.
As we all know getting rid of this vile thing is going to be far more painful than when they jammed it in.
We don't have to be reminded about the Constitution - we're not your constituents - we know such things.
Yeah, that's what millions of seniors are saying about the politicians who stole $580 million in future Medicare funding to make the Obamacare scam look plausible.
I dare to produce the birth cert. he won’t cause he knows the past 14-16 mos. are null and void if he does.
How about we just figure out a way to repeal the boy king....
What a piece of....
Finally he admits the Health care Bill is handout.
We dont need to appeal it. We only need enough votes to cut the funding off for it and it will die just like the Mexican wall died.
Put that in your pipe and smoke it Obama smart ass.
What an arrogant SOB! Can't wait until November to prove him wrong.
He (0-bummer) is right that many getting the handouts will continue to vote Demonrat, but not enough to protect the ‘rats from voter wrath.
Let’s remember that this piece is satire. But if I heard correctly on Rush Limbaugh’s show this week, Fidel Castro did congratulate O on the passage of this health care bill. That alone should tell you how despotic the bill is.
Did he really use those words?
Semi-News/Semi-Satire
Obama, be careful what you wish for!!!
John, I didn’t get pinged, almost missed this. (I’d hate that)
Perhaps. But if the right people get into power and on certain committees (Ways and Means, perhaps? Whatever.), they can throw a monkey wrench into the whole corrupt, fetid mess.
The healthcare bill could just sit dormant for years, totally forgotten, along with its creator, and the nation will have moved on, hopefully, to something better.
