More Good News for You, Barry: Obamacare Approval TANKING (35%!)

Bad-week-after-bad-week for the besieged Obama
White House- and this one still ain't even over yet!

At a point in time when Obamacare's most unpleasant periods of implementation -and massive tax hikes- are yet to have hit, seems reality has already penetrated much of the public awareness...  at least to the point so that somebody besides medical professionals and small-businesses are frightened by this legislative Frankenstein. 

Obamacare has never enjoyed 50% support in any poll I've ever seen- now today, barely a third of regular Joes and Josephines approve, just one point better than the all time low of 34% in September 2009- that in the midst of heated town hall debates nationwide (of course AP couldn't resist interweaving the entire story with snarky commentary re. GOP alternative proposals from Medicare chief -and committed leftist- Donald Berwick).

With 65+ seniors approval below 30% for the first time, it's no wonder we found Obama out on the stump pimping Obamacare yet again.

I first started actively/vehemently opposing Barack Obama in early 2008, at that time almost purely on his lack of qualification for Commander in Chief... so after 5 years of dumb luck in foreign policy like I've never seen, the Benghazigate hearings had me feeling a bit vindicated in that base argument against his presidency. But Barack Obama has sown the seeds for SO much disaster -particularly in the Middle East- that Benghazi's just the tip of the iceberg.

Once the regime's all-encompassing radicalism became apparent -and talk of 'bipartisanship' and 'moderation' proven to be a smokescreen- I've fought him tooth-and-nail, like so many other Americans. Yet even in the wake of 2012 hyper-disappointing defeat, I always felt our ace-in-the-hole would be the implementation of Obamacare- it was never reconciled properly, cannot be implemented in anything like it's current form, and will cost taxpayers an ARM and a LEG... the eventual backlash would have to be tremendous.

Seems that's already started...

Doesn’t make a whit’s worth of difference. He still “rules” and shirks his true American duties in favor of division, duplicity, devolvement and destruction of traditional America.

May have been good news last year where the ACA’s unpopularity may have influenced the election outcome. For 2013, not so much. If the implementation becomes a train weck, it will only lead to a single payor system and arguments as to which party can make the trains run on time. Government controlled healthcare is sadly accepted policy.

[Resolute Conservative]

Smoke and mirrors. He will go down as the greatest president in modern times. It is all the republicans fault nothing gets done. He is fighting hard for change and .... yeck I almost made it the whole way without throwing up in my mouth.

I have just come from a meeting where conservative executives told us in no uncertain terms that Obamacare WILL NOT BE REPEALED.

Somehow or another they feel that it is now so embedded in the insurance infrastructure that it is here forever. They say it cannot be undone, only patched-up;fixed as time goes on.

Am I to believe that?

We were told that the IRS has already added and trained 17,000 SEVENTEEN THOUSAND agents to monitor it. In addition, 15,000 FIFTEEN THOUSAND 'Navigators' are being trained to "help" people enroll and to negotiate the now-54-page instruction booklet (down from 74 pages...whoop-eee!)

The government has decided that one ought to spend between 2 and 10% of one's income on health care insurance. The cut-off point for individual contributions is '0' at under $11,000 in come. Over $11,000, to help defray the cost a sliding subsidy scale goes in effect to aid those making up to $46,000. At $100,000 in income, the bill is $10,000, + add-ons for additional family members!

John Boehner, am I to believe that nothing can be done to remove this monstrous burden from us?

[Gaffer]

You assume that 'they' will still be in control when they devolve us to third world status. I'm thinking the Chinese will be writing that history.

[Resolute Conservative]

That is the irony. They think they too will have a place at the table when/if anyone is able to usurp us (muzzies, mexicnas, chinese, facists etc...). They will be marched off in lock step with us. Stupid is, as stupid does.

[Gaffer]

Well, if it does happen. Here’s one old coot in North Georgia hoping that all them MSM bastards get lined up against a wall.

[Mr. K]

2012 election was not a defeat - it was STOLEN

They had to rig polls with +10% dems to make it look even, before election day, and voter turnout was HIGHER than in years in highly republican districts, and yet Obama still managed to get more votes? (In some districts more than >100% of the population)

And they will do it again for 2014 if they can, but it is harder to do in districts OUTSIDE high population democrap, for congressional elections.

[LibLieSlayer]

It will die when they can no longer pay the bills... and that day is coming.

[jsanders2001]

Tanking because they realize they ARE going to have to pay for it too. Sorry suckers no freebies for the takers that’s paid for by the producers this time ‘round...

[rollo tomasi]

"...where conservative executives told us in no uncertain terms that Obamacare WILL NOT BE REPEALED."

Lol; they play/protect the game well along with the Repubs. Who did these executives represent/work?

[Buckeye McFrog]

NO legislation that is passed thru a process THIS non-transparent and THIS corrupt could EVER be GOOD for ANYBODY!!

It’s a simple lesson. Perhaps some day we’ll learn it.

[Biggirl]

No, article is correct!

[Kenny Bunk]

Who did these executives represent/work?

These guys were a pretty no-nonsense bunch of insurance pros who work with financial planning pros. NB that not one of them supported Obamacare, they were just trying to be realistic as their audience went ballistic.

My question. Are these guys wrong? Are we stuck with this monstrosity? I actually cannot understand why it cannot be repealed. The word is that Cantor is going to try a big move on it in a couple of weeks.

[rollo tomasi]

“Are we stuck with this monstrosity?”

I think so, but will be “modified” in order to keep the beast alive.
