Obama Takes Victory Lap at Obamacare Presser, Says 'Debate Is Over'

By Josh Encinias

President Obama said Obamacare has made the American health-care system “a lot better” and even though it has been “messy at times, it is progress” in a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

The White House said 7.1 million people have signed up for Obamacare as of today.

The president told reporters that there will be days when HealthCare.gov doesn’t work, ”I guarantee it,” but that it isn’t news anymore.

“The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay,” said Obama.

President Obama chastised conservative politicians ”who based their career on repealing this law.” He said he doesn’t understand why conservatives are “working so hard for people not to have health insurance.”

The White House spent $52 million dollars in the last three months to urge people to enroll in Obamacare, but “we didn’t have billions of dollars in commercials like some critics did,” said Obama.

The president said ”many of the tall tales” were debunked along the way. “There are still no death panels. . . . Instead this law is helping millions of Americans.”

He had a warning for opponents of the law: ”History is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic economic security.”

I don't think I could hate this lying, arrogant, narcissistic, petulant, greedy a$$hole any more than I do. He not only pegged my hate meter, he blew the pointer off it.

Bret Baire (FNC) noted that defenders of Obamacare said the 6 million Americans who lost their coverage were just a sliver of the population but the 7 million who have supposedly enrolled in the program is a reason to bring out the balloons and celebrate.

“There are still no death panels. . . ."

--------------------------------------------->

No obvious ones....but Sibelius says some will live and some will die.

And, someone(s) will have to make that decision...in other words...a death panel.

She was so cavalier in her pronouncements - some will live and some will die.

Where did they lose their souls?

"If the debate is over, then why hasn’t he implemented his own law? Why all the special, unconstitutional delays, exceptions, and outright violations?"

-------------------------------------------->

He has the magical pen and phone to cover what is a failure beyond all failures.

The Mother of All Failures.

But, he just trucks along like everything is okay. He knows it is failing; that was his point in "fundamentally" changing America and he has all kinds of "flexibility" to get all kinds of things done.

To: what's up

And other than us Freepers writing posts in outraged opposition to all that is going on the general public (LIV’s) is just “oh well ho hum” about it. Fox News will put this fraud on 40 times tonight and call him Mr. President just like “Allstate normal”. BO will say something nice about the sob. So will Hume!

You would think that as f’d up as things are, that like Egypt and Venezuela and Greece and the Ukraine there would be riots and gunfire in the street!

"Notice that in his giddy victory speech he is back to calling it Obamacare."

----------------------------------->

Hopefully, "ObamaCare" will go along with images like "Benedict Arnold" and will join the lexicon as a small reference to when the country was tended by an idiot and people, having lost their minds, voted for him twice.

ObamaCare...snort.

The important thing to note may be that, even though his congress railroaded this bill through years ago (on Christmas eve), Zero acknowledges that it was/is still being debated.
Operative word: still. The last public approval poll I saw of the `The Patient Privacy and Affordable Care’ act showed public support at about 30%+-. This debate is a long way from “over”.

I guess he has until midnight to state “April Fools” as the truth.
