Should have consulted Captain Obvious first, guys.

[MaxMax]

They heard the truth and became angry at it. Now they know the truth and
are looking for a new boogyman, The Republican congress. In five years nobody
will even know it was Obama's plan to make everyone equally miserable, not happy.

[Olog-hai]

The GOP had nothing to do with writing the bill in the fashion that went after Taft-Hartley plans. The GOP-e would be too dumb (or too compliant) to make sure the distinction is clear in the minds of these unions and the other associated low-info voters, however.

Tsk, tsk.

[BobL]

The unions can FLIP to the Republican side and flip the balance of power in this country.

...but somehow I don’t see happening.

[autumnraine]

Let me laugh heartily at their despair.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now let me cry for what we all about to go through...

I just can’t. Cried for 5 years now, all dried up.

Let them cry now.

[freekitty]

BS. They helped put it together.

[ScottinVA]

Since unions don’t give two sh*ts about anything beyond union business, Obama will shut them up by quietly tossing them a waiver-flavored bone.

[verga]

We are taking the wrong approach to this. The very worst estimates say that this will collapse under it's own weight in less than two years.

We need to start using the Alinsky tactic of making them live by their own rules.

We need to demand that this thing be up and running on time, on budget, with full coverage for every single American.

Given yesterdays speech we should also demand the closing of Gitmo that he promised and signed the executive order for that first week.

The man will have a nervous breakdown.

[Vendome]

Okay Sherlocks. You wanted him, you got him.

You wanted ObamaCare®, you got it.

Whutch you gonna do for an encore? Gargle Peanut Butter?

“When you get in bed with the devil - you are bound to catch a disease or two...”

Unions - you got exactly what you deserve!

[Jack Hammer]

“Be careful what you wish for...”

[Cyclone59]

I still cant get over the fact that unions back the policies of the RATS, when it is obvious that the policies of the right would put more people to work.

[SMARTY]

You beat me to it!

Just wait until they get a good look at the illegal immigration bill, the amnesty part will cause most of them to lose work and perhaps their jobs.

[SeminoleCounty]

The main object of ObamaCare is to put everyone on Government Healthcare...like Canada, EU.

First, all those with health insurance will be priced out of the private market...and forced to go on government care

Note you do not hear big multinational corps complaining about ObamaCare....and the GOP is not defunding ObamaCare.... and plans to extend it to illegal aliens

[trebb]

Amazing how scorpions are surprised when other scorpions act like themselves and don’t display any loyalty whatever to those who help the “cause”.

Obamacare:If it’s so wonderful, why are so many unions asking for(and getting) exemptions from it?

"It makes an untruth out of what the president said, that if you like your insurance, you could keep it," said Joe Hansen, president of the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. "That is not going to be true for millions of workers now."

Hard to fathom that many people actually believe anything Obama says.

[FreeperCell]

I like your thinking. That is a wonderful idea.
