Obama: Individual Health Insurance Mandate ‘Should Not Be Controversial’
Cybercast News Service ^ | 8/15/11 | Nicholas Ballasy

On his bus tour, President Barack Obama said the federal health care law’s individual mandate, which requires every American to purchase health insurance, “should not be controversial.” To date, 26 states have sued the federal government, arguing that the individual mandate is unconstitutional because the U.S. Constitution does not grant Congress the power to require Americans to purchase a good or service. “Here’s the problem – if an insurance company has to take you, has to insure you, even if you’re sick but you don’t have an individual mandate, then what would everybody do?

He's spent 70% of his presidency shilling for his mandate, 29% playing, 10% deliberately destroying America...

Oh wait. That means 80% of his time trying to destroy America.

‘Looks like he's going to spend the next year+ shilling the program.

Of course, buried in that 3,000+ pages is everything needed for complete control of the gov’t and our each and every move...all masquerading as as health insurance.

It's bad enough, all the power it gives over us - but even that 3,000+ pages isn't enough to carry out their entire take-over. There are articles in there that leave total open-ended control to add anything they want to the bill anytime they can think of one more way to reign supreme.

This bill is his rasion d’etre. He was carefully groomed and brainwashed (easy to do when you start with a blank slate) to carry out his string-pullers determination to take over and destroy this country.

The would be totalitarians had to find someone without the individual brain power for independent thought, someone devoid of loyalty to America - someone they could program like a robotron. (They didn't factor in his deep narcissism.)

And why haven’t we been told what the many and large scars on his head, neck and throat are from? brain surgery? Horrific accident? Implants?

this show one of the prominent scars - but there are others on the other side of his head and throat and neck.

Obama: Individual Health Insurance Mandate ‘Should Not Be Controversial’

To Hussein, Nothing unconstitutional need be controversial.
I wonder what part of "Enemies foreign and Domestic" he STILL doesn't understand?

This dipshit is a "professor" of Constitutional Law?

To Obama, it's not contraversial at all. It's what he wants to do, so we should do it.

Constitutional? Legal? Illegal? Irrelevant. It's what he wants.

4-year-olds think like this. It's what I want, that's all that matters.

If its not controversial to him, lets just add a tiny little law. Something like every non-citizen (illegal alien) without insurance gets a $2000 fine, 3 months in jail and immediately deported without possibility for appeal. And their family goes with them.

I bet he would find it unfair and controversial then!

Sorry, Hussein, but this isn’t the Caliphate. Fact: the government doesn’t have the right to force anyone to buy health insurance. If they have this power, they can also force all of us to buy a car from his buddies at Government Motors, or various other oppressions that would line the pockets of his cronies.

A man who has an aptitude for speaking like this man does is not stupid. That given, he has to understand that what he is purveying is Nonsense. So why does he say it?

He pushed something that has been a dream of the Democratic party for years. Afterall, what was Hillary’s health insurance bill but the same thing, packaged differently? In his total arrogance and pride, he pushed what Hillary could not get done. When it was close to passing, he marveled. Reid and Pelosi were lapdogs to help him get it passed. Pushing it passed was his dream. He did it. Now pay him and the Democrats back in 2012. I will!

Not only is he immune, but all Muslims in the US are also immune.

Interesting tidbit I just learned about the “Let them eat cake,” comment. At that time in history, cake was the black stuff stuck to the sides of ovens, that became thick over time.

It’s just UNCONSTITUTIONAL, but that POS FUBO doesn’t care. I hope his bus goes off a cliff.

The problem is that the GOP front runner Romney agrees with him.

What OMuslim means is “Screw The Constitution, I’m Emperor now!”.

I say, we are Americans and we are taking back this country November 6,2012.

Pack your bags for Jan.20,2013, Usurper, and then RUN to another country before we put you in the federal pen.

You will never see that kind of contortion at cirque de soleil
