Obama Lied. Now What Do We Do?

Well, at least now we know the real reason that one-sixth of the economy had to be turned upside down. In the latest bit of brilliance from ProgressNowColoroado, Susie, a young woman "hot to trot," says "Thanks, Obamacare!" for birth control that is so easy to get that "all I have to worry about is getting him between the covers."....

.....But when the outrage and laughter inspired by the exposure of Obama's Big Lie subsides, the question remains: Now what do we do? Obamacare is in crisis. Will we let it go to waste?

There seems to be a school of Republican thought that assumes the "Affordable Care Act" is a starting point for further Federal fiddling. John Boehner said today that the problems with Obamacare show that "it's time to fix this law." If I may rephrase: "Look, Democrats, you're killing yourselves, and you're taking us with you, but you're doing it all wrong. Let us show you." No, Mr. Speaker, it is not time to "fix" Obamacare. The fact that you even uttered the word "fix" in that context has me very, very worried. Please don't ever say this again.

Obamacare was forced through Congress without a single Republican vote. Why would Republicans now help the Democrats mask its disastrous consequences? Indeed, why should Republicans do anything to assume any political responsibility for this law? The argument is that we should do something to mitigate the harm the law is now inflicting. That is an invitation to be sucker-punched.

The Democrats made their bed, and Susie and Nate can't wait to lie in it. Let them. As someone once said, "elections have consequences" and "I won." So let's not help the Democrats duck the political consequences of their signature achievement. Instead, every time 100,000 more policies are cancelled, or your doctor is no longer in your network, or some twenty-something prog argues that it's only "fair" that your policy now has an annual $12,000 out of pocket because she has "free" birth control, make sure to say "Thanks, Obamacare!" Because this is entirely what Obama and the Democrats did when they, and they alone, inflicted this law on the land. Let's make them a hair shirt, and sew a scarlet "ACA" on it.

But that's not enough, because Obamacare will remain "the law of the land" until and unless it is replaced with something else. "But," you say, "we can't do that. We don't have veto-proof majorities in the House and the Senate." Precisely. The time is ripe to propose replacing Obamacare with a market-based, Republican-branded alternative, and make it a central issue for 2014. To do that, we need two things: a message and a messenger..........

Watch the country go down the tubes. Because he has protection that he aquired at birth. Because the media will lie, cheat, steal and kill to protect his sorry a$$.

He doesn’t care. His term is over. They separated hillary from the administration because they knew this would happen. hillary is now ‘clean’ and will try to turn her chipmunk-cheeks up and fake a smile so the public will like her.

Obamba lied, he’s told too many lies and nothing has been done! What about Solyndra, Benghazi and the IRS scandal? He was re elected in 2012 even after he was caught lying in the Presidential debate that was shamefully handled by moderator Candy Crowley claiming that he had originally said the attack on Benghazi was terrorist attack when in fact he had claimed it was caused by a video. But he has incredibly blind faith support from the democrats and the news media. Is this latest unbelievably stupid lie about to change anything? I doubt it. But miracles do happen!
