Lupica: How Can Obama Make 'Noble' Obamacare a 'Triumph?'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/19/2015 6:25:06 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Mike Lupica ought to stick to sports. When he wanders into politics he says silly stuff, as on today's Morning Joe.

With HHS Secretary Sylvia Burwell being interviewed about Obamacare, Lupica unctuously wondered out loud: "how did something that was this noble an idea become something over time that the other party uses against this president constantly? And is there a way, over the last two years of his presidency, for him to throw some sort of Hail Mary pass and make this look like the triumph he thought it was going to be?"

FlJoePa to Lupica: “How do you consider yourself a man when your wife hits a golf ball farther than you do?”

Man! Try saying that five times quickly! I would say Lup - Froot should stick to sports, but he sucks at that too.

Noble an idea? Nope! It was always about POWER. GOVERNMENT POWER.

Notice he doesn’t want it to actually be a triumph, he only wants it to LOOK LIKE a triumph.

These people are too stupid to fathom.

Mike Lupica ought to stick to sports...

I've been saying that for years. He knows NOTHING about other fields, but that doesn't stop him from pounding the keyboard to embarrass himself by revealing his lack of journalistic talent and his general ignorance to all.

Other questions for Mike Lupica:

How can the 1933 German election results be presented as a noble triumph for freedom?

How can the Hindenburg's last flight be presented as a noble triumph for German engineering?

How can the 1985 launch of New Coke be presented as a noble triumph for marketing?

How can the Battle of Waterloo be presented as a noble triumph for Napoleon?

How can the Bhopal be presented as a noble triumph for Union Carbide?

Mike Lupica should stick to sports and tell us all about this 1916 triumph for Cumberland:

I would happily see the next Union Carbide plant located by my family home and then personally take a winter cruise on a replica of the Titanic, if that would help to repeal Obamacare, the worst legislative disaster in our country's history. The idea of presenting Obamacare as a triumph is simply absurd.

Lupica is a joke. He has been a liberal social warrior forever.

Lupica is the only NY sports columnist who blocks comments by his readers. He obviously knows he would get destroyed regularly if he didn’t.

He’s such a horrible writer that to call him a “hack” would be complimentary, and what’s sad is that he’s a better writer than he is a man.

His nickname isn’t Loopy for nothing. Lupica might be the biggest liberal tv sports jerk since Olberbaby.

“We are going to be gifted with a healthcare plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don’t which purportedly covers at least 10 million more people without adding a single new doctor but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn’t understand it passed by a Congress that didn’t read it but exempted themselves FRom it and signed by a President who smokes with funding administered by a Treasury chief who didn’t pay his taxes for which we will be taxed for four years before any benefit takes effect by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese and financed by a country that is broke.

“So, what the blank could possibly go wrong?”
