Obama's Thinking 'Evolves' on Health Care Requirements

Acknowledging that his thinking on the issue has "evolved," President Barack Obama says he could support a law mandating that individuals purchase health care coverage, with fines for those who do not, but he stressed that there must be some kind of waiver for those who are simply unable to afford it. (snip)

During the election campaign, Obama said he was opposed to a federal law mandating the purchase of health care coverage.

“ABC is taking frequent smoke breaks for Obama.”

LOL! The healthcare proposal is all about consolidating more power in the hands of the federal government. Nothing good will come from it....

Is it wrong to hope Michelle slaps Barry up the side of the head a few times each day?

It's a Dem tradition. Ask Hillary. ;-)

He must be talking about dems having control. Maybe he knows 2010 is going to bring change I can believe in.

Wow, Obama is going to be taking more questions on Nightline at 11:30PM.

With more non-answers. Maybe the stars will align and he'll slip and speak the truth.

Oh, the anticipation as we sit through our local news.

Obama as “soup nazi” - no healthcare for you! (It’s yet to be determined, who, exactly “you” will be).

“shouldn’t we figure out that before we change the system?”

A Chukcha returns home from Moscow to great excitement and interest. “What is socialism like?” asks someone. “Oh,” begins the Chukcha in awe, “There, everything is for the betterment of Man. I even saw that Man himself!”

Rahm and Obama agree, that's a good start...

I can’t find the quote, but didn’t Obama campaign on everyone having the exact same health care as he and members of congress have?

Did anyone ask if the final HC bill would be put up on the internet for 5 days for public comment?

“The Baby Boomers who have paid taxes for the past 40 years are going to retire soon and not be treated medically as well as the previous generation of elderly. Baby Boomers from 1946 - 1964 (?)”

We’re both 72 so I guess we are predetermined to just die!

Obama: “This is a situation where the stars are aligned”.

Good grief...

Anyone familiar with the works of HP Lovecraft just went pale at that statement.
