Cruz Slams Obama for 'Dancing in the End Zone' on Obamacare
Breitbart ^ | 3 Apr 2014 | Tony Lee

Posted on 04/04/2014 6:58:43 AM PDT by SoConPubbie

On Wednesday, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) blasted President Barack Obama for "dancing in the end zone" when the President essentially declared that Obamacare was well on its way to accomplishing its mission, even though the law has raised premiums and left millions of Americans in a perpetual state of chaos regarding their health care. 

Cruz, along with Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), led the effort to defund Obamacare last year and extend the waivers that special interests received from the law to all Americans. And he insisted on Wednesday that every word of Obamacare needs to be repealed. 

"President Obama is dancing in the end zone while millions of Americans are still hurting from Obamacare. He has moved the goal posts so many times -- why should the American people believe him this time?" Cruz wrote on his Facebook page. "Obamacare wasn't working last year and it's not working now. We need a #?FullRepeal of every word of it."

Obama declared on Tuesday that the debate over Obamacare was "over" and there was "no good reason to go back."

My own premium has already gone up two hundred bucks a month for a private (non-government) plan.

Everything Obama touches turns to crap.

But it is a better plan. You see you were too dumb to know what is best for you. So the government will decide for you. /sarc

Please don't take offense but this is exactly what Obama and others are saying.

I think Cruz just tackled Obama dancing in his own end zone.

SAFETY!

FOX news is reporting that Barry and “the White House” had requested that the networks cut into their primetime programming to allow him to announce that over 7 million had been sold. What a crock. It takes this regime months or even years to get any numbers or provide memos and emails to congressional hearings but they knew the EXACT MOMENT that ObamaCare hit 7 million? Unreal. ROTFL! What a bunch of clowns.

I’m afraid I’m too old for storming any Bastilles; I don’t ‘storm’ anything anymore - I can barely walk.

I’ll leave the storming to the younger guys.

The fact is, I don’t pay much attention anymore - I really don’t need health insurance, I’m at an age at which I need funeral insurance!

Technically - Obama danced on the 1 yard line. Like a fool does.

The government pushes 6 million off of insurance policies they liked and which met their needs. The government then holds a gun to the head of those Americans and says “BUY THIS CRAP” which inferior to what they selected in a free market. Sounds like a legitimate reason for celebration to me.

If my company could use such thug tactics, extortion and enforcement, our sales would soar and we would be doing “victory laps,” too. It might be tough having to go meet all my friends in jail, though.

Lol. Me too. But that doesn’t matter. The government knows what is best for you and you MUST have prenatal care. ;-)

Maybe I have a weird sense of humor but your comment made me smile. Recently underwent cataract surgery. In the mail a few days later received bill from clinic for balance due and a beautiful brochure from the Hemlock Society.

Millions of Americans intimidated by fear of the IRS — into enrolling.

Hardly reason for any American to celebrate.

Well, when you're the arrogant delusional Dictator in Chief, you can still count it as a touchdown after you leap out of bounds 37 times on your way to the end zone...
