‘I Believe That Obamacare Is Bad for America…and So Does the President’: GOP Rep Sparks Outrage

As Rep. Dan Webster (R-Fla.) ran down the 40 votes he’s cast to defund Obamacare in a public meeting this week, Webster added: “I believe that Obamacare is bad for America … and so does the president.”

With that many constituents in the Winter Haven, Fla., town hall Thursday reacted with shock and outrage, with audience members exclaiming, “No he doesn’t!” “Tell the truth!” “So does the president? Please.” “Stop lying!”

Webster attempted to explain his reasoning, saying there have been many changes to the Affordable Care Act that the House and Senate have been passing, which Obama has been signing, but vocal audience members didn’t seem to be buying it.

Here’s raw video of the exchange, which begins at about the 1:30 mark:

Hey, Glenn Beck, do something about your damn website (The Blaze). I'd love to read the stories there and pass them along to others so that they can be aware of what's going on, but I get so many pop-ups, ads, and just such a "carnival side-show" feel on that website, that I just regret it every time I click through to try and read a story.

OK. I'm taking the gloves off.

Obama wants to kill babies.

Because he does.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

They are hard wired to love 0bama. It is something I have never seen before. It would not matter what he inflicts upon them, there’s just no reasoning with them. They vote as selfish children, interested only in receiving what is promised to them. And when whatever is promised to them is not delivered, they don’t seem to mind. There’s always another excuse...”he needs more time”...”it is foolish to expect such a magnificent program to be rolled out without any glitches”...”if only the Republicans wouldn’t resist him at every turn”. And on and on and on. I just don’t get it.

Very well said.

If the RINOs had any brains, they'd realize that they can't buy love, regardless of what they do. SO THEY MIGHT AS WELL DO THE RIGHT THING!

Yes, I am shouting.

That’s what happening. The left is stacking these meetings to have them blow up in the face of the Repubs. Just a part of the overall strategy for 2014.

These seniors wanted to hear the magic words “...at little or no cost to you...”

Parked yesterday, noted an old bag with a banged up recent vintage Lincold pulled next to me, sporting an Obama 2012 sticker. I looked at her, pointed to the sign and said: Sucker.

Wish I had one of my FUBO stickers to give her but she probably would have vapor locked had I done so.

Once they get all the administrative bugs worked out, the surgeon general will release a report that claims smoking is healthy and life extending. Then they'll force fines on non-smokers.

Another republican weakling.

Who nevertheless found the time and energy to run for office.

Geez! Why didn't he simply ask them why, if the pResident thought it was SO great, did he exempt himself from it?

Simple people require simple explanations.

but vocal audience members = paid hecklers

They are the face of the treacherous tyrant

“I believe that Obamacare is bad for America … and so does the president.”

This just needs to be repeated a few dozen more times. Watch the left and learn.

Anyone that defends “Obama” aids evil.

I don’t know if I would go that far but I also wouldn’t complain either. ;-)
