Ted Cruz to Obama: If you're really sorry, repeal Obamacare

During an exclusive interview that aired Thursday, Barack Obama told NBC's Chuck Todd he was sorry that people were losing their insurance due to his signature health care law. Later, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, responded on Facebook, saying if Obama was really sorry, he would repeal the law.

"Mr. President, if you're really sorry, then we need a #FullRepeal," he wrote.

"I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me," Obama told Todd. "We've got to work hard to make sure that they know we hear them and we are going to do everything we can to deal with folks who find themselves in a tough position as a consequence of this."

Obama repeatedly told Americans that “if you like your health plan, you will be able to keep your health plan.”

But that promise -- made even after the president knew better -- has been soundly debunked as a lie. Worse yet, Obama compounded the lie by trying to rewrite history.

"Now, if you have or had one of these plans before the Affordable Care Act came into law and you really liked that plan, what we said was you can keep it if it hasn’t changed since the law passed," Obama recently told starry-eyed followers at OFA. "So we wrote into the Affordable Care Act, you're grandfathered in on that plan. But if the insurance company changes it, then what we're saying is they've got to change it to a higher standard."

Obama admitted Thursday that the administration was not as forthcoming as it should've been, and claimed the millions who received cancellation letters would get better care at a lower cost.

"If we must have an enemy at the head of Government, let it be one whom we can oppose, and for whom we are not responsible, who will not involve our party in the disgrace of his foolish and bad measures." - Alexander Hamilton "We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all." -- President Ronald Reagan "A thing moderately good is not so good as it ought to be. Moderation in temper is always a virtue; but moderation in principle is always a vice." - Thomas Paine 1792 "It does not take a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men." - Samuel Adams "If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

Obama doesn’t want a repeal

[Patriot Babe]

Exactly, but he won’t because he is not sorry. I hate to say this but this guy enjoys watching us suffer. That is the Kenyan in him.

[marron]

If he’s sorry that people are losing their plan’s, I don’t see him jumping over backwards trying to fix it.

This guy’s instincts are so good it’s amazing the GOP doesn’t see what they’ve got here.

They do see it, and are afraid of it.

Ted Cruz is like Ronald Reagan, an actual, bona fide conservative, who means what he says, and will actually change things, for the better, for the Citizens of the U.S., if he becomes President.

This scares the living Hell out of the corporate donors who support the likes of Mitt Romney, John McCain, et. al. because he won't try to run the game to benefit those same corporate fat cats and help them line their pockets. He'll actually work for the little guy, and that takes away the ability of the big-money interests to game the system in their favor.

He’s not sorry he said it, he’s sorry we’re so dumb we believed it

[justa-hairyape]

So he is sorry people are losing their plans and having them replaced by better ones ? I am so confused....

Liberal women tend to put with abusers. Just ask Hildabeast =)

Yep..that’s right. They stand with their “beloved” regardless of the hits they must take...until those hits are reasoned as good for them!
