Obama has single-handedly brought this country to its ruin. Open borders and Obamacare have robbed this nation of its ecomomy. Obama has done it all. Obama has achieved his goal of bringing this nation down.

Sequestration already cost my job and essentially wiped out the market for my skills. Obama has fundamentally transformed America into a Soviet disaster.

Well, at least these 30 million without medical insurance now have coverage thanks to Obamacare...

I can sleep well at night in my homeless shelter knowing this...

/ sarcasm

Disclaimer: I am not in a homeless shelter... just slowly going broke because my health insurance premiums went up $2,000 a year and my wifes hours were cut to just over part time...

Redoing my household budget today to see where else I can cut to make ends meet...

Well, he said that was what he was going to do. He never tried to hide it.

America could survive a Barack Obama, but it could not survive a citizenry that would elect him.

No matter what it costs, the American people still believe in the concept. Look at the primaries thus far, defenders of Obamacare have been particularly successful.

Your experience is not that of the Obama supporters though, and they are still hopeful about what Orrin G. Hatch’s friend EMK was always calling “the dream goes on.”

My husband lost his job directly due to BOcare. And while he’s got a few odd jobs, he still hasn’t been ale to replace to job he lost. Lean times at the Kitty house

Thanks, BO for helping us out of the middle class and into poverty.

>> Obama has single-handedly brought this country to its ruin.

There were many complicit dirtbags in Congress voted into power by idiots thanks to the deviants in Media. Plus, Obama has the pen in his left hand, and the phone in his right.

I keep reminding people of that when the dems complain at work. I tell them to go to YouTube and look up his videos. It’s all the in the open. Unfortunately, few cared at the time. Some even thought it was a good thing. That was until they were impacted.

As our HR Dept rolled out the benefits changes, they stated clearly that the 17% increase on our premiums were directly due to Obamacare. Some were I’m such disbelief that they looked physically I’ll.

And they still don't care or continue to be ignorant of the fact that when the vile POS stated that he was "going to fundamentally transform the U.S.". What else would the jug-eared Marxist POS mean but "transform" the country into a third world craphole, and yet he continues unabated and without any political opposition from the limp-wristed Repukelicans.

That, and Obama’s election (2008), have already done so, twice...

Corporate squishiness from that point on has been pegging the meter...You’d think they’d be a little more resistant...But noooooooo...

My job now is to try and take care of myself (health wise) as best I can, so I can stick around long enough to be a real big pain in the arse to the clear and present danger in this country...

My reward for this is not here on this earth...So, I’m good with it...

;-)

I don’t know if I would necessarily say that. I know there are plenty of quotes to prove this was what he was going to do. In my state, during his first campaign, if you were a dumb voter and only saw commercials, you would have assumed he was pro-American.

So “economists” have just discovered that adding huge non-productive costs by fiat results in less of an activity? God forbid someone applies this radical new idea to government overall. It might endanger the high tax rates, excessive regulation, and coerced redistribution that impede economic enterprise.

Obamacare has never polled a majority.

Pelosi lost the House because of Obamacare.

The rats would have lost the Senate if every rat had been up for reelection.

Twenty-eight states joined the lawsuit against Obamacare.

If pubbies cannot find the courage to denounce and demand repeal of the most harmful legislation in American history, there is zero chance they'll make other reforms necessary to restore our republic.

Obama garnered most of the votes of “low information voters”, who are also more likely to hold jobs that require highly skilled workers. ObamaCare gives employers strong incentives to limit every position possible to part time status, and this means that at the lower-skilled level, as many jobs as possible will be shifted from full time to part time, with no “benefits”.

People who only can qualify for these jobs will find that there are few if any full time jobs. They will be forced to work multiple part time jobs, and forced to work more than 40 hours a week and will have less net pay because they will have to pay for higher commute costs and their own health insurance.

The poor are thus doubly exploited by the elite liberals they voted for.

Everything about Obama costs jobs and increases debt.

This is just sickening. Obamacare costing full time jobs in AMERICA!

A sitting POTUS deliberately killing jobs without remorse or regret, and only for the purpose
of advancing the party Socialism/Agendas.

You get that America? You Dems voted this man into office, TWICE!
