didn’t demint say obamacare was his waterloo?
and zero, we have had enough of you.
Think about this statement very carefully. In one sense we haven’t won anything yet. The Dems just expanded government vastly between Obamacare and a bunch of other things they did, including a truly massive increase in spending. They lost one house of Congress because of it. We have two years for them to try to preserve this victory and hope America turns against Republicans.
We can’t focus so much on the game of winning Congress—it has to result in something. That something is getting rid of government. We had a “Republican” Congress and president in the early part of the decade and we got Bush’s “No Child Left Behind” and “Free Drugs for Seniors.” What would happen if the new Republican Congress tried to repeal them? We keep moving to the Left.
Truth is, he thought he'd be loved forever by the masses!
He didn't have a clue!
This is a guy who has a political tin ear. But we’ve known that ever since he lost two off year elections in 2009 and then the MA special election in February of this year. But he still refused to change course. For the election outcome, he has no one to blame but himself.
After all..in a million years, neither Hillary or Bubba would have thought she could lose to a black, inexperienced nincompoop.
Obama: I made the decision to go ahead and do it. And it proved as costly politically as we expected. But I had no choice — it was either listen to the will of the people and back off or go forward and I get my name in the history books for health care and then some.
Interviewer: So you did it to get your name in the history books.
Obama: Well, yes. But it was more than just that. The people are too busy being provincial and thick headed — clinging to religion and guns. This was a teachable moment, they could have learned something.
Interviewer: Are you an elitist?
Obama: Yes, of course. But I’m cool too and that makes all the difference.
“Obama: “I made the decision to go ahead and do it. And it proved as costly politically as we expected, probably actually a little more costly than we had expected politically””
Proof that he DOES GET IT.....and doesn’t care because he thinks his agenda is better.
Republican leaders in the House and Senate wanted the healthcare bill to pass and aided in that happening.
“Didn’t hurt... meant to do that”
FU kenyan!

Translation: “We knew Americans opposed 0bamaCare massively. We expected to get shellacked. We passed 0bamaCare in spite of Americans’ opposition, because we are Leftists first, and not primarily concerned with ‘America’.”
He thinks he is a martyr. “Oh woe is me...I do great things and get attacked for them I’m only doing this for YOU!”
The spin masters are still at it though.
democrats in general say that it wasn’t policy it was the economy. Therefore pelosi will run again as minority leader.
obama says that he didn’t explain enough about what he was doing .. my god, the man gave more speeches and had more face time than Bush ever did, more than Clinton, more than Bush Sr.
How much more talk can this guy do?
they are all delusional trying to maintain control over us as long as they can .. the fight has just started and they aren’t caving in at all.
If the GOP doesn't defeat this in the next two years by defunding, or challenging in court, this monster will grow so powerful, no one will be able to put it back in its cage.
We cannot allow the political stage to change the question from "should we allow a government healthcare system?" to "how do we fix what's broken in our government healthcare system?" This is where the Democrats will win every battle, every argument, because they'll be the party who are more willing to spend taxpayer money to "get it right." Once the government plan is all there is (and it will be, eventually), people won't want healthcare options to become fewer and smaller, the overwhelming majority will want more, not less. This shift in mindset will always favor the Democrats. Game, set, match.
I suspect the word “costly” has more than one meaning in this sentence.
IMO, Barry knows now & knew all along that the HELLTH care system he was pushing was going to break the bank in every household. He just didn’t give a darn.
I am skeptical about his willingness to say that he knew how damaging it would be politically.
It is all parts of a whole—
Transparency....
Draining the Swamp......
Minimum 3 days of ALL bills being online for the public to read..........
Appointing over 30 CZARS to positions,responsibilities & pay ranks no one knows a darn thing about.
EVERYTHING that Pelosi, Reid & NObama promised has turned into secrecy—lies—budget busting spending—CZARS who might be a complete Shadow Government—extravagent trips all over the globe-—Bowing to Muslim persons worldwide-—denegrating our own military-—rules of engagement which are costing American lives-—everything he touches.
