....no one in the White House anticipated Obamacare would collapse so quickly. Some believed problems would surface only after 2014 midterms and that things would be too far gone by 2016 to make any changes. Nancy Pelosi egged on Obama-worshipping Dims to vote for it "without knowing what was in it"....and that a groundswell of public support would materialize......sap-happy liberals figured Americans would be too stupid to figure things out....b/c presstitutes prostrate in obeisance to the Obama admin would tell them things were fine.....

Nails it but good. Now, a really, really big problem for Obama is that people still remember CHEAPER PREMIUMS BEFORE Obamacare. Then they're told Obamacare higher premiums are the real ones BUT NOT TO WORRY---they're getting subsidies as a "gift" from Obama.....

....but here's the kicker.....in politics, it's OK for a pol to be clever and come up with clever ideas. But pols can't "appear" to be clever. B/c the citizenry equates POLITICAL cleverness with deviousness. (George Will on Fox)

================================================

Boomamba's spent his entire time in office using official govt activities to build the Democrat party into a permanent majority. Too bad he stupidly threw a bomb into his plans........ w/ Obamacare.

=================================================

LAUGH BREAK Team O musta been laughing up their sleeves as they connived to insert the infamous cancellation clause---planning to regurgitate the old Dem standby---blaming someone else---blaming Repubs and the insurance companies they unreservedly despise.

Now the stupids must be downing valium and vodka non-stop as we type---the lunkheads failed to factor in that Dems would take the fall at the polls---by the very people they intended to "punish" w/ cancellations ---- we, the voters.

Just call him "Wrong-Way Boobamba." Remember---he "vowed" to destroy the Republican Party----but he ended up destroying the Democrat Party, instead. Looks like he needs a new GPS system from Santa.

ROTFLOL.

==========================================

Egged on by pie-eyed Pelosi. Dimocrats rammed the monstrous Healthcare bill through on a straight party-line vote and refused to consider a single legislative change---including Mike Enzi's bill to allow Americans to keep their exisitng plans. Now desperate Democrats are frantically introducing “fix Obamacare” bills.

Dims want to separate themselves from their aye votes that they sold to push Obamacare onto unsuspecting Americans------ but they can't.

Republican strategists says ObamaCare “has the potential to be even more potent in 2014 than it was in 2010" (when Repubs took over the House) and that Democrats in competitive seats could see themselves washed out to sea.

Predictions are that the misguided law could get even worse for Dimocrats. “It’s like quicksand. It's sucking people in. And this is just one component. Just wait until the next piece of this law is rolled out,” strategists said.

Obama and his liberal allies connivingly called the cancelled plans "substandard" ..... by that he means people must grit their teeth and take plans he likes---plans specifically designed to serve his social equity and income redistribution goals. In Obama's calculated view, some Americans must now pay first-class fares for coach seats so that hand-picked Americans can pay less, and receive extra benefits.

Obama picking winner and losers raises questions whether Obamacare is an illegal lottery. B/c Obamacare specifically picks winners and losers, a court might deem this an illegal lottery.

EXAMPLE Everyone is induced into paying into the program. Some people win subsidies, tax breaks, deferments, etc.....while others are excluded from benefits.

REFERENCE: The following is an example of a Federal Statute defining Lottery:

According to 12 USCS § 25a, “lottery" includes any arrangement whereby three or more persons (the "participants") advance money or credit to another in exchange for the possibility or expectation that one or more but not all of the participants (the "winners") will receive by reason of their advances more than the amounts they have advanced, the identity of the winners being determined by any means which includes--

(A) a random selection;

(B) a game, race, or contest; or

(C) any record or tabulation of the result of one or more events in which any participant has no interest except for its bearing upon the possibility that he may become a winner. (SOURCE uslegal.com/lotteries)

The more current concern is will we be able to do anything against it if we also win the Senate in a year?

With Obama there will we have enough people to stop a veto or will Obama close the government down himself in order to keep Obamacare alive?

Will the conservatives rise while jokers like Rove be shown after all their failures the road.

Look, Rove had everybody hold their noses on Romney and go all in and that candidate lost against a horrible Democrat that most did not like. Rove is a turd. We need also to defund the RNC.

The CA self employed seem to be suffering A LOT under Obama.

Prayers going up for you that He will direct and guide during your trials and you will find His strength to carry on. Many blessings on your dear wife as well.
