(CNSNews.com) House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that Obamacare facilitates the type of liberation that the Founders had in mind because it allows you to leave your job and become a photographer, a writer, a musician -- or whatever.
As you hear from these stories, this is a liberation, Pelosi said at a Capitol Hill news conference Thursday.
This is what our founders had in mind -- ever expanding opportunity for people.
You want to be a photographer or a writer or a musician, whatever -- an artist, you want to be self-employed, if you want to start a business, you want to change jobs, you no longer are prohibited from doing that because you cant have access to health care, especially because you do not want to put your family at risk, she said.

This is just my opinion but...that woman is genuinely insane.
While she is somewhat right - healthcare is expensive as hell for a lot of self-employed folks, she’s clearly out of touch with Americans. You don’t just go become a writer or photographer or “whatever” unless you want to live in a van down the river while pursuing your “whatever” dreams.
OK! I want a career testing fishing tackle, ski equipment and sports stadium seats...oh, and Irish pubs. A modest expense account seems to be a requirement- I could get by on $100K a year. The reports I write will be first rate!
You took the words right off my keyboard.
Between Pelosi and Reid we're running an outpatient mental health clinic on Capitol Hill.
You can have a job and still become a photographer, a writer, a musician — or whatever.
How convenient that there are already 40+ million Americans out of work, already doing “whatever” in the words of the minority leader. How is it that these people have more registered voters than the quasi-semi-conservative party?
So the Founders envisioned a government that enables drifters? Yeah, she’s nutz.
What a stoopid cant...
F U B O
Either this is an old story, or we have heard Nancy say this before, haven’t we?
Actually I think she said those things 2 years ago, not today? But who cares about accuracy by the media in this day and age?
I-D-I-O-T
“You want to be a photographer or a writer or a musician, whatever — an artist, you want to be self-employed, if you want to start a business, you want to change jobs, you no longer are prohibited from doing that because you cant have access to health care, especially because you do not want to put your family at risk, she said.”
The bastardization of the Founding Fathers’ intent here is just mind-numbing. Yes, they believed in being free to pursue that trade which suits you. No, they did not believe you should have that pursuit underwritten by your fellow citizen.
Oh, now I get it. How clever of them... they’re already getting a jump on things by insuring that as many people as possible get that needed “nudge” to separate from their employers so they can get started on “pretty much anything”.
How thoughtful of our leaders!
I doubt that they intended for everyone to have an opportunity to be a tick on my backside.
HER PSY-OPS ARE SO DAMN OBVIOUS!
