um,, lets take a look at the 1914 health plan then and see what it contained ....

uh huh

(me guessing obama thinks 100 years ago was before the civil war)

I agree, though it seems callous to those who voted against Obama who are being screwed by this. As for those that voted for him, I won’t say what I wish upon them.

And why the Upton Bill was put out there. But the president said he will veto it. Obama cares not about tossing a lifeline to the people he's tossed overboard.

LOLOLOL!!!! calling Dr Fine, Dr Howard, Dr Fine!

When Obama gets in trouble, he tends to “double down” so watching The Won hoist the Dems with the Obamacare petard ... well, rather sweet.

“There’s a reason the folks who tried to do this for 100 years hadn’t done it.”

I almost thought he was going let the mask slip at this point in his speech and let on that this has been a socialist wet dream for a century.

[MrB]

The control freak fascists in power DO play on the ignorant good intentions of the sheeperal.

I know a few sheeperals, and not only do they not have the control freak goals that we see in the leadership,
they are appalled that anyone would even suggest such goals.

They have their own sense of “good personhood” all wrapped up in those intentions, too, so pointing out the evil in the implementation is taken as an attack.

[MrB]

Just people who are ignoarrogant enough to think this can work from a centralized control location.

“And why the Upton Bill was put out there. But the president said he will veto it. Obama cares not about tossing a lifeline to the people he’s tossed overboard.”

I hope it is too little, too late; the Dems have to pay for this, and slight modifications (especially that are only delaying it for a year) should still damage them badly in the mid-terms. Maybe just wishful thinking on my part...

“There’s a reason the folks who tried to do this for 100 years hadn’t done it.”

Is he talking about healthcare or communism?
Could be either one.
