Obamacare was never created to give people quality and affordable healthcare; it was designed to create a single payer system, socialized medicine, allowing government complete access to and control of your life! And if that's not offensive to each and every American, your freedoms, what is? The reason Obama refuses to drop the individual mandate is because he knows a huge majority of Americans will not want Obamacare if given the choice. Why? Because it's complete and unadulterated crap! They pick and choose your doctors, your premiums are anything but affordable and death panels will decide if your loved ones should live or die due to the cost/benefit/age ratio. This fact alone tells you everything you need to know about Barack Obama's intentions and character. I don't care if we have to shutdown government to do it, defund Obamacare! There are much more effective and responsible ways to reform healthcare.
Although Republicans don't have a two-thirds majority in the Senate to override a Presidential veto, there is a much more effective and plausible alternative: selective funding. For the first time in 6 years Congress should pass a law-mandated budget. Within that legislation, they can exclude and selectively defund Obamacare. If Obama threatens not to sign, which he probably won't, then he will be the sole reason millions of Americans are unable to receive their social security or disability benefits, let alone a paycheck from their federal jobs. And if the President tries to shift blame, which he is bound to do, Congressional leaders need only point to the fact Republicans made impressive gains in deep blue states because 60% of the nation is opposed to Obamacare. I call that a mandate being Mr. Obama only won re-election with 51% of the vote. So why threaten a government shutdown? Why subject already struggling Americans to another decade of higher premiums, loss of their individual rights to choose the doctors and insurance of their choice, an incremental invasion of their privacy, and a lower quality of healthcare? It's not dangerous, reckless or a senseless political ploy; it's just smart!
If people were not afraid of expressing their true feelings, I suspect that homosexual marriage is not the will of the vast majority of the people either. I would love to see that mess reversed.
He's voted in now, he doesn't need to listen to his constituents.

I think that the only way to get to 0bama is to get under his skin and try to get him to lose it.
If I were in the GOP leadership, I would make a phone call to Netanyahu and the Mossad. A little psy-ops against zero could cause him to have a psychotic break.
Let's face it, corporations want to shift as much of the cost of healthcare to employees and taxpayers that they can.
Given that both political parties are beholden to corporations, neither party is going to attempt to repeal the law,
Term limits ...
Makes me sick.
