He also pointed out that the Republican nominee Mitt Romney supports the God awful individual mandate. Get ready to be reminded of this constantly. The GOP-e really messed up.

For him , his voters, and the Democrat Partyu, it was. For his voters, it was a Pyrric victory, for it will end up costing them their lives. It was a victory for obama and the DEmocrat Party becaues obamacare was designed to destroy the commerce system of the United Syayes over a period of time. The end goal of both obama and the Democrat Party.

///
yes. instead, those of us, hanging on by our fingernails,
should fall into financial ruin, or lose our jobs,
BEFORE we get an illness.
-
but once all of us, are unemployed,
and living on foodstamps and “free” medical care...
then, we can all relax and be happy!

The mass exodus of corporations to foreign lands will begin tomorrow.

You can’t do business in America anymore.

Well, sure. Slaves always have at least the security of being looked after by their masters.

I'm going to do just like I did when I lived in MA: Not paying. Come get me, prosecute and jail me if you live long enough to get that close to me.

It's time for the "Fourth Box". No more typing. No more voting. There is only one solution left.

So, this will be a tax on the unemployed person who can’t afford healthcare?

If anything, it’s a pyrric (too costly, non-monetary) victory.

The only hope right now is a flood, a plethora of homemade bumper stickers that shout “NOVEMBER!” just that, and only that.

If I was obama I would put down the trumpet and be afraid, very afraid.

I pray THIS will sink that SOB into the dumpster of history.

Sounds more and more like a king, doesn’t he. I never dreamed we’d have a king named obama.

I get my healthcare from the VA. The VA hospitals will be over run with illegal immigrants and those who have to pay a fine to get government care.

I served in the Navy for four years doing a very, very small part to keep this country in existence. It appears my service was in vain as I only helped prolong it’s demise. And that saddens me.
