Obama will carve out another exception for the unions. It’ll soon be that only conservatives are subject to the king’s law.

Comrade Dictator Obama don’t need no steenking constitution.

Socialism equals unintended consequences. That is what you get when you elect economic illiterates like 0bama. Now the union thugs are going to learn the hard way what is taught in Macroeconomics 1A. (I doubt if 0bama ever took Macroeconomics 1A).

They were warned and choze the wrong side. Too late to finally wake up.

There was nothing unintended about it, dingbat. So STFU and take the medicine you spent forced dues on.

Oh don't worry, you won't lose health insurance.
You will be REQUIRED by LAW to buy health insurance.
Whatever the cost is, you HAVE to take what the health exchanges tells you.
You have no choice, it may not be any good, but you WILL have health insurance.

Now do you see what's in it?

“Unintended Consequences” — LOL. Only if you are a completely blind, willfully ignorant, moon-eyed gaga-over-Obama moron.

No fixing this mess. The Republicans should fight to keep it in tack or repeal it. The other side will cave.

This is gettin' goooood ! Reports indicated the unions left the White Hut without a carve-out today, so with unions singing backup, it will strengthen our calls to delay, repeal, etc.

These unpleasantries carry more weight with Obie's failures in other areas. And, to sneak a carveout won't work because if discovered Obie's coffin is nailed even tighter.

He's screwed, they're screwed. Mid-terms are coming. Libs took a drubbing yesterday on several fronts all across the country. It's gettin' goooood !

Not at all. In the new world order, as long as you're a member of the chosen class, one stroke of the pen and you're exempt! Remember, all animals are equal; some animals are more equal than others...
