Obama’s non-apology (Obama doesn't care about anyone but himself)
Washington Post ^ | 11/11/2013 | By Marc A. Thiessen

Posted on 11/11/2013 7:41:11 AM PST by tobyhill

There is nothing to focus the presidential mind like finding out that your Gallup approval rating has dropped below George W. Bush’s in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. So little wonder that after spending weeks denying he had promised Americans they could keep their health plans, President Obama finally said the words “I’m sorry.”

But let’s be clear: He didn’t really apologize.

Look closely at what Obama actually said: He did not apologize for misleading the American people. And he did not apologize for people losing the plans he promised they could keep. He apologized that they can’t get into Obamacare.

Big difference.

Obama said, “I am sorry that they, you know, are finding themselves in this situation, based on assurances they got from me.” Well, what situation is that, Mr. President? The situation that they can’t access the Obamacare exchanges. The president went on to say, “Keep in mind that most of the folks who got these cancellation letters, they’ll be able to get better care at the same cost or cheaper in these new marketplaces. . . . The majority of folks will end up being better off, of course. Because the Web site’s not working right, they don’t necessarily know it.”

Obama doesn’t care about anyone but himself..

How many times does he have to prove it before the American people believe it to be true?

He needs to be GONE FOREVER.

BARRY’S APOLOGY

“I’m Sorry”

I’m sorry, so sorry,
That you are all such simple fools.
But you didn’t know,
You’d be so easy to use.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, uh-oh, oh, yes...

Now you cry, that I lied,
But you’ve believed my lies for many years.
And I really don’t care,
Because I’ll still get my way.

I’m sorry - You’re stupid,
So sorry - You’re Stupid,
Let’s pretend that’s my apology.
Your love for me,
Makes you too blind to see.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, uh-oh, oh, yes...

You tell me, you thought,
Hope n’ Change was for others, but not you
But now you can see
The ways you’ve been used.

I’m sorry - So sorry
That you are all such fools......

His approval has tanked despite the media’s willingness to whitewash or at least ignore his failures. Where would it be if they treated him like a Republican? He would be impeached.

...stopped right there. Not in mind, body, spirit or intent is this thing “presidential”. In no way, shape or form.

His plan all along was to force a seamless, involuntary transfer of millions out of the individual market into the exchanges.

Like Pol Pot's plan to force people out of the cities into the countryside.

I’m guessing Obama thinks he can brazen this out by Executive Order: giving out more subsidies to try and stem the tide against the premium increases people are seeing... So what if this just makes the law that more costly for the country/taxpayers. So what if the annual deficit goes up by $300-500 billion per year. People are getting numb by these numbers and won’t be able to make the connection. Obama will just blame it on Republicans who won’t give in to his demands for higher taxes on the 1%. This is all sickening.

Agree.
As long as the money spout at Ben & Janets is gushing, pour on the subsidies.
Let the party roll on!
