Obama Mocks American Concern Over Obamacare, Whines About Fox News Again

When Obama’s Justice Department isn’t monitoring the phone lines of Fox News reporters and their parents, he’s publicly berating them during boring, tired speeches.

During his new but old economic speech yesterday at Northwestern University, President Obama mocked Americans who have concerns about Obamacare limiting their freedom and whined about Fox News.

“While good affordable health care might seem like a fanged threat to the freedom of the American people on Fox News, it turns out it’s working pretty well in the real world,” he said.

Bonus: A second complaint about Fox News was sent out on Obama's official Twitter account.

President Obama: While affordable health care might still be a threat to freedom on Fox News, it’s working pretty well in the real world.— Barack Obama (@BarackObama) October 2, 2014


Obama's lack of self-awareness when it comes to Obamacare is astounding. While he attempts to insult Fox News, he is actually insulting millions of Americans who have lost their healthcare, lost their doctors, seen their premiums and deductibles skyrocket or lost jobs as a result of the overbearing cost Obamacare puts on the healthcare system and the economy. Obamacare isn’t affordable, it isn’t working and the numbers prove it. Guy broke this down last week after liberal wonk Ezra Klein published a piece titled In conservative media, Obamacare is a disaster. In the real world, it’s working.:

A recent Kaiser Foundation poll found that 14 percent of Americans say the 'Affordable' Care Act has impacted their family for the better. The trouble is that twice that number said they've been directly harmed by the law, which was marketed as a win-win for all consumers. Numerous national surveys have consistently tracked the same two-to-one, hurt-to-helped ratio. People's actual experiences are not a product of propaganda-driven confusion.

By the way, why is President Obama stealing Ezra Klein's work? Or is has he put Klein on the payroll? Further, if Obamacare is so great, then why is it that just 36 percent of Democrat candidates support it?

Democrats on the campaign trail are not feeling so hot about Obamacare.

New research from the Brookings Institution’s Elaine C. Kamarck and Alexander R. Podkul shows that only 36 percent of Democrats running for Congress this year have expressed a position in support of Obamacare. Another small segment–25.5 percent–have offered a lukewarm position on the law.
Obamacare is in fact a disaster in the real world. Fox News on the other hand, is a roaring success. Over to you Greta.
"When leaders blame others they sure don't look like leaders, they look absolutely childish and it's distressing President Obama is so quick to blame others." 

Greta: Obama should lead, stop picking fights with Fox News 'Off the Record,' 10/2/14: President Obama likes to play the blame game and blaming Fox News was red meat for his base. But he has to realize he doesn't hurt us and only diminishes his office.

He is a nasty, evil, smirking tool. I saw clips of this earlier.

No one ever accused Obama of being classy. He is ghetto Chicago at its worst.

The office is diminished by his very holding of it.

Does this mean he actually has the Obamacare Enrollment numbers that NOBODY on the Planet has been able to get a hold of??

I already fully believe that he’s enjoying every minute of the anguish he’s putting this country through. Those who are calling upon him to do something, don’t have a clue. He’s already doing exactly what he intended to do-destroy America.

No system should be adopted without first being adopted by every Fed employee.

Yes, this can't be emphasized enough. It isn't just that, like carter before him, his blunders result in the misery of the American people - it's that he takes cruel delight in our pain and discomfort. He's doing it on purpose!

GOP don’t let the Dems run away from their Frankenstein Healthcare creation. Its their disaster not one GOPer voted for it. They wouldn’t let one change to the bill get thru.

Obamacare = DEM DEFEAT AT POLLS ON ELECTION DAY.

But it only happens if every campaign hangs Dems for what they voted for and doesn’t let them wiggle off the hook.

Nice cleaned up tweet. His speech specifically mocked “Americans” on FOX news. Not Sean Hannity, Greta, etc.

Now it’s just FOX News.

This tweet was sent out with sole purpose to obfuscate the statement/intent.

Now when asked, Do you think it’s fair to mock Americans who don’t approve, yadaya? He can say, see my tweet. I was referring to the FOX News bias.

He’s doing exactly what he was entrenched to do—allow the Alinskyites placed in government to proceed with their plans to degrade America downward into equality with her lessers. What they intend to do afterward is the 64k question, unless it is to retire on their ill-gotten gains—at least those of them allowed to survive, that is. Just MHC. [My humble conjecture]

Good description.

He’s one filthy creature—in and out.

God forgive me for what I think of him.

Comrade obamatollah is a leftwing communist with a loyalty & allegiance to the satanic death cult known as islam.

Of course he lies.

And when he’s not lying, he practices taqiyya.
