Obama mocks GOP for 'crazy' Obamacare predictions

LARGO, Maryland (AP) — With just five days to go before Americans can begin signing up for health care under his signature law, President Barack Obama on Thursday ridiculed Republican opponents for "crazy" doomsday predictions of the impact and forecast that even those who didn't vote for him are going to enroll.

"The Republican party has just spun itself up around this issue," Obama said. "And the fact is the Republicans' biggest fear at this point is not that Affordable Care Act will fail. What they're worried about is it's going to succeed."

Obama didn't call out any of his Republican opponents by name, but he laughingly taunted some of their arguments. He mentioned House Speaker John Boehner's prediction right before the bill was signed into law in March 2010 that "Armageddon" was impending. He quoted Louisiana Rep. John Fleming, who said earlier this month that "Obamacare is the most dangerous piece of legislation ever passed in Congress." He cited Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann's appeal to colleagues on the House floor six months ago to "repeal this failure before it literally kills women, kills children, kills senior citizens."

The big question is why are our guys so silent now?

The MSM is the answer to that question.

The bigger fear is that you will remain in office after screwing The People over with the ACA.

Obama is getting all wee-wee’d up over the rebellion of true Patriots. I am embarrassed he has been able to fool so many into giving him the power he wields. Lord, help us.

On YouTube go watch Mia Pope’s 26 min amazing personal account of what Obama was like at Punahou.

TOTALLY AMAZING.

He was a gay freebaser FAMOUS even then for NEVER telling the truth.

Jefferson is rolling in his grave.

We must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude. If we run into such debts as that we must be taxed in our meat in our drink, in our necessities and comforts, in our labors and in our amusements, for our callings and our creeds...our people.. must come to labor sixteen hours in the twenty-four, give earnings of fifteen of these to the government for their debts and daily expenses; and the sixteenth being insufficient to afford us bread, we must live.. We have not time to think, no means of calling the mis-managers to account, but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow suffers. Our landholders, too...retaining indeed the title and stewardship of estates called theirs, but held really in trust for the treasury, must...be contented with penury, obscurity and exile.. private fortunes are destroyed by public as well as by private extravagance.

This is the tendency of all human governments. A departure from principle becomes a precedent for a second; that second for a third; and so on, till the bulk of society is reduced to mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering... And the fore horse of this frightful team is public debt. Taxation follows that, and in it’s train wretchedness and oppression.”

Thomas Jefferson on Public Debt and Taxation

our guys ?

Not mine. They are complicit in this thing. Cruz did the right thing; he raised awareness, no one followed and then he publicly stated it is up to US now. "WE" don't have any "guys" in DC at this point. We have Rove establishment types enriching themselves at the expense of OUR dollars. Bank on that...

My how times have changed. Reality is a buzzkill. Now, he is the one playing defense like no other politician I’ve seen in years. He is resorting to giving none apologies to the America people and whining he is a victim of a website

The guy’s program was a massive national disgrace from day one. It will never get the young people to join, so that it can be a viable plan.

So what does this nimrod do? Why you tries to make jokes at the expense of the folks who, “Told him so for years.”

I think this guy is too stupid to know what has just taken place. He’s a laughing stock the world over.

Whoop it up Kenyan. You’ll just be seen as an even bigger fool.
