Obama: GOP Favors ‘Hurting,’ ‘Harming’ and ‘Sticking it to’ Americans in Defunding Obamacare Debate

In a strongly worded defense of the healthcare law, President Barack Obama accused congressional Republicans who favor defunding Obamacare of a willingness for “hurting” sick people, “harming” the economy and “sticking it to” Americans.

The president’s stirring defense comes after several delays to the law were announced, including this week, a delay in caps on out-of-pocket costs. He said some members of Congress are working to inform constituents about taking care of Obamacare benefits, others aren’t.

“But there’s also a group of Republicans in Congress working hard to confuse people, and making empty promises that they’ll either shut down the health care law, or, if they don’t get their way, they’ll shut down the government,” Obama said Saturday during his weekly address.

“Think about that. They’re actually having a debate between hurting Americans who will no longer be denied affordable care just because they’ve been sick – and harming the economy and millions of Americans in the process and many Republicans are more concerned with how badly this debate will hurt them politically than they are with how badly it’ll hurt the country,” he said.

He later added, “A lot of Republicans seem to believe that if they can gum up the works and make this law fail, they’ll somehow be sticking it to me. But they’d just be sticking it to you.”(continued)

As mentioned in another post the House should pass a bill funding Obamacare on the condition it is implemented as written.

Classic Alinsky, marxist-agenda projection. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knows that O’dingdong is lyin’, blaming the Republicans for his own crimes and aspirations for the vile and destructive “health care” bill.

Hey, you lawless nitwit, I know that 1,000 demons will drag you to hell, but do the right thing for once in your miserable little life and tell the truth.
