Even Mike Tyson Understands that Obamacare Isn’t Working

The point of this post isn’t to turn former heavyweight boxing champion and ear-biter Mike Tyson into a political prognosticator. The point is to note that while the left’s leading lights — Ezra Klein, Matt Yglesias, etc — don’t get or won’t admit that Obamacare is a pile of fail, this guy who took quite a few punches to the head does get it. He appeared on Piers Morgan’s show and managed to make a little sense.

MORGAN: “That’s since then, that was a year ago. Obviously they tried to do this with ObamaCare, they tried — ”
TYSON: “This thing really, it just really went horrible, didn’t it?”
MORGAN: “Yeah.”
TYSON: “It’s really, it’s really bad.”
MORGAN: “I mean the idea behind it, would you be supportive of the idea of bringing millions of Americans into health care, who wouldn’t otherwise be able to afford it?”
TYSON: “If they can get the health care, but as of now it doesn’t seem they can get it. I was for it a 100 percent but we just have to come to the reality that it didn’t work.”

Well if Mike Tyson understands something, it should be as simple as 2 + 2. Most liberals think it equals 5, metaphorically speaking. I keep remembering the 1984 movie where the protagonist was forced to believe that 2 + 2 = ?

Looks like the Dims are finally bringing their finest minds around to work on the problem.

I recommend watching the video - past the quotes in the article and excerpt Tyson talks about blacks taking responsibility for themselves, particularly in ending their knockout gaming, and about how the resident got where he is.

Obamacare is doing exactly what it was intended to do.

I really have to say that Tyson is surprising me, he isn’t as dumb as I thought he was...

Tyson has his moments of lucidity, but he’s usually Exhibit A. on what Punch Drunk looks and sounds like. Whoever sold Tyson his last joint has purchased Tyson’s loyalty for the day. Mike’s present ‘fame’ is that he is actually being laughed at by most of the young people. They laugh as he acts out as stereotypic as could be thought of, benign yes, but still pathetic that he needs this Celebrities’ Acceptance, as one would patronize and accept a malformed mascot.
