Would You Forgive a Thief? So Why Would You Forgive Obama?

Today President Barack Obama unveiled a so-called 'fix' for his 'Lie of the Millennium' about people being able to keep the health plans that they liked. But as with many other aspects of the Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare, the fix raises more questions than it offers answers.

For example, imagine a situation in which your home was completely robbed by a professional thief. After going through various stages of grief and feelings of loss, the thief suddenly shows up on your doorstep one day and says that he will give you back everything he stole from you. But then he adds that one year from now he is going to come back to your house and steal everything again that he stole from you originally. In that situation, would you forgive the thief or would you have a positive view of him?

However, that is exactly what Obama is expecting the American people to do for him...

Just as he delayed the implementation of the Affordable Care Act to corporations, his delay of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act for individuals is not based in law. Neither the Affordable Care Act nor the Constitution gives the President authority to selectively modify or ignore a law passed by Congress and signed by him.

The issue of forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood doctrines of the Bible. There is no obligation to forgive somebody, who has wronged you, if they haven’t taken responsibility for their wrong. However, forgiveness must be extended, if they do take responsibility for it and ask for it.

Obama can be forgiven, but what are the odds he will take responsibility for what he has done?

Most thieves are operating in their own self-interest, trying to (illegally) get ahead by taking other people’s things.

Obama is trying to make himself into a political demi-god, in control of all others, in pursuit of humanistic (to be kind) hegemony over everyone. He is clearly willing to kill in order to “save lives”, so to speak.

The comparison is poor. The thief is much more forgivable.

I have never known any Narcisist to ask for forgiveness .
They think that since they steal , it is your fault for making it available to them ; there is no sorrow.
The only sorrow is that they got caught with your "stuff" (ie. Money , property, taxes, valuables,etc.)but it is your fault since you have more stuff than them.
All this has been evident since this administration came in , and "blamed everything on BUSH" .
There is no accountability , nor responsibility with Zero
and if I hear one more time , ..." I didn't know about it ..."
I will just barf !
Zero : "THE KNOW NOTHING PRESIDENT !! " , but supposed to be "the smartest man in the room "

I would only forgive a thief if he was sincere in his guilt and repented, and was bound to improve his condition, walk the straight and narrow....but Obama ain’t that...Obama is a thief who is unrepentant, lies when he’s caught and isn’t going to change any time soon.

I thought that we didn’t want the people who made the mess in the first place to fix it, but to get out of the way.

'Lie of the Millennium'

Obama's whole life is and has been a lie. Was he born in Hawaii? Or not? Who is his father? How did he get into the schools he attended? And on, and on. As a community organizer all he did was lie to, and agitate people making them believe they had a right to what someone else produced. I don't know that I will live long enough to see it unravel, but some day there will be history channel programs about the deceit.

I had a family member that kept stabbing those that helped said member in the back and even bringing legal charges against them. I was able to forgive the member, but never trust or allow the member back into my home or family affairs.

Forgiveness (on the human level for those who would bring religion into it) is an act that benefits the one doing the forgiving - it doesn't change the forgiven an iota.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

Once someone lies to me, I NEVER trust them again. And I let them know.

Honor and honesty are both free. All the money in the world will never restore either.

...the thief suddenly shows up on your doorstep one day and says that he will give you back sell back to you everything he stole from you.

Obama can’t be forgiven, because he can’t repent. He is psychologically incapable of accepting blame or admitting fault. It takes some degree of intrinsic soul to do that.

God, while physically incarnate and dying a very painful death had two convicted thieves dying next to Him. One ridiculed Him and said, “if you’re the Son of God save me”. The other thief admitted his fault and wrongdoing, and asked for God’s forgiveness. God granted him forgiveness.

This is closer to murder than theft. When people are kicked off their heath care and need it, many will die...unless they are illegals.

Since the AMA pushed through Obamacare, I do not think uninsured people owe any billing from doctors and hospitals if they lost their insurance as a result of Obamacare. All’s fair in love and war. The socialists declared war on the American people and Americans have the power to bring them all down with us.

[Texas Songwriter]

I believe Obama committed the crime of SOLICITATION OF A CRIME by trying to entice Insurance executives to violate the law. Are there any lawyers out there who can comment on this. We know what his intent was.
