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.

But, what if this is part of his plan to so disrupt our upcoming election.
Hey, by then we could be all in hiding and not be wanting to be out amongst the huddled masses for fear of one of the imported bugs.

Like Social Security (which, by the way, the government has ruled we have no right to collect from) and Medicare/Medicaid, the truth about Obamacare will come out a few years from now.

Just as the above programs have been revealed to be nothing but a pyramid scheme to buy votes, Obamacare will be revealed as nothing but a means of getting more control over people’s lives (If you think the government won’t apply the same reasoning behind it to other things in life, please share whatever you’re drinking).

Gawd I can barely stand to even look at his face. I hate him with a passion. I want this nightmare that is Obama to be over with so badly. His “policies” have affected not only the country in which we live but also has hit me personally in the wallet.

If you are a single mom on Obamacare you go to the hospital where after presenting your card are asked “ how do you intend to pay your bill for services?”

The $7,000 deductable applies before Obamacare pays $.05.

The premiums she scrounged up from her meager husbandless life had no benefit in her real world
