The liberal line is that President Obama has secured his place in history by signing into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010. And secured it he has. Henceforth Obama will be remembered as the man who accelerated America’s mad dash toward bankruptcy. He will be remembered as the leader who promoted a culture of dependency. He will be remembered as the figure who sacrificed a dream of national unity upon the altar of big government liberalism. It’s true: Obama is now a president of consequence. And almost all of those consequences are bad.
The fiscal picture was bleak before Obama made it worse. Government debt is 60 percent of the gross domestic product and climbing. The deficit is projected to remain above 4 percent of GDP for the next decade. The week before the president signed his health care reform into law, Moody’s warned that America’s AAA bond rating may be downgraded. The day before the signing ceremony, the nation learned that Warren Buffett is a safer investment than U.S. treasuries. One needn’t look across the Atlantic, where a penniless Greece is a supplicant to the IMF, to see our future. Look to California, where the economy is crippled by high taxes, high spending, and burdensome debt.
President Obama is an intelligent man. He knew there was no way a massive entitlement could get through Congress when spending, deficit, and debt are major issues. So he claimed that health care reform would help ameliorate America’s fiscal problem, not exacerbate it. And for support he had the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), which found that, under a certain set of conditions—spending cuts, Medicare cuts, new taxes—health care reform would not only pay for itself but would reduce the deficit.
But what happens under real world conditions?

Some great quotes here to use in RIDICULING the Democrats and Obama.
13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
This seems to be the Statist’s favorite tactic – mercilessly go after individuals that oppose their collectivist aspirations. These are the people that always set themselves on a pedestal as the fairest minded, tolerant and only seeking justice, yeah, sure.
Remember: The aggressor sets the rules, and according to Saul Alinsky, you should always attack an individual with ridicule and never let up. Something to always to remember about the Statists. Aside from the fact that they are consummate Liars, this is the most important lesson Conservatives can learn from these tactics.

I had dinner last night with an old friend that I rarely see, and this person happens to be a liberal. We got into a heated exchange about the healthcare law. You absolutely cannot talk to a liberal because they’re not informed, but they think they know it all.
Our first (and hopefully last) dictator.
The community organizer has no clue of the real world. He was brought up on the government teat. And once the Republicans take the House in November, that little coward will crawl back into the dark recesses of the White House and cry until is term is over.
Amen to that!!
I hope you were able to get the facts in.
I am beginning to believe you are correct. If the Libs keep trying to pin “violence” on the right’s legitimate dissent.

No. A walking dead presidency. The signing of 0bamcare is exactly when 0bozo signed away the future of the Democratic Party for the next decade at least, and finished off his presidency from November onwards, and effectively lost the 2012 elections.
Along side Chavez, Castro, Imadamnutjob, and assorted other despots.
Yes
I even offered to e-mail the info but was told not to.
It's people like this who love Obama.
Looking forward - once he’s out of office - any predictions on what he’ll do and where he’ll go?
A union boss?
Revitalize Acorn?
Move to Indonesia?
Be another Jimmah Judas?
Take the money and run to Cuba?
Write his first book?
I hope you are right. MCCain-Feingold gave them Congress and the white house and i think they will not let go.
I see things only getting worse especially when Dem/Soros moles like MCCain fool some poeple here.
That would be a Obama Zombie. lol
Actually, it was stupid people who voted to put them in power...that and all the dead and duplicate voters their party rounded up.
“Write his first book?”
Hee hee.
This is on their web site in response to the passage of this bill.
Under Activist section. A Cloward-Piven Strategy for Single Payer?(March 22)
---So here’s what I would propose as the next step in single payer strategy: explode the Medicaid rolls. Single payer activists should organize in their communities to sign up as many eligible people as possible for Medicaid – crisis, possibly including the implementation of single payer---link
There are people who have so much invested in something or somebody that there’s no way they could admit they were wrong. It takes a person with character to admit they made a major mistake. I know only a few people like that but most of the people who voted for this miserable failure are not capable of publicly admitting their huge screw up.
