‘I Had Nothing to Do With That!’ Obama Dodges Blame For Skyrocketing Premiums
Breitbart ^ | 10.20.16 | Charles Spiering

Posted on 10/20/2016 2:23:09 PM PDT by pissant

President Barack Obama offers multiple excuses for why health insurance premiums continue to skyrocket, including blaming Republicans and insurance companies for the problems.

He complains that too many reporters spend more time discussing premium increases than explaining why he isn’t responsible for them.

“No, I had nothing to do with that,” Obama said, calling it “complicated” despite the “hysteria” that was growing.

Obama traveled to Florida to argue that Obamacare was working well, but needed to be fixed

Even stupid Democrats can see ObamaCare's death spiral...a disaster facing the implosion of its health-insurance market.

An S&P Global Ratings forecast warns that, for the first time since ObamaCare passed by an historic straight Democrat party line vote, participation will actually shrink by up to 8%.

The Royal Idiot insists it's all “part of the normal business cycle,” but that’s whistling past the graveyard.

Intended to be his signature domestic achievement, Obamacare is well on its way to becoming the Royal Idiot's biggest failure.

Obamacare, the money pit for needy Democrats.

Good politicians mix truth with desirable lies so effectively that sheeple can’t tell the difference. Sheeple focus on their desires with strong feelings (feelings are real, but are not necessarily about truth). The politician and sheeple are now linked tightly, and if sheeple should later doubt the politician, they must also doubt themselves. Pride will prevent this.

Au contraire! It was another coffin nail in the final destruction of our Republic, illegally Federalizing 1/6 of the economy, proving GOVT can FORCE that was once voluntary into a mandatory state and allowing all 3 branches to run roughshod upon the whole of Constitution (Legislate outside the bounds of authority, Judiciary to re-write the ‘law’ to their liking and the Executive to re-write and harass the People w/ the IRS+).

The (R)NC\GOP??? Crickets, in an election year of all times!

Oh yes. I’m sure it will be “Don’t worry about that 666 thingy, nobody takes the Bible literally anymore. That’s for fundamentalists!”

I have worked in many places where the customer always quickly gravitated towards the lie, regardless of whether it would pan out that way (it never did and I have multiple examples). A rare few, a rare few were thankful I spelled out the path to success right from the get-go, with realistic costs and delivery dates.

I have multiple examples but won’t share who or where.

Pride will also prevent them from admitting to themselves and others that they were so easily fooled by this (essentially) Nigerian Con Man.

IOW, he might as well be selling lies from a phone bank deep in Nigeria.

It was predicted.
Everyone that had a lick of sense knew that the premiums and deductibles would rise.

He and his goons spent so much time maligning people who were foretelling EXACTLY what would happen. They were all racists, etc.

Nancy Pelosi and Janet Napolitano even called anyone who protesting against the passage of Obamacare “potential terrorists”.

These people are nothing but totalitarian thugs. They deserve no quarter. They are wholly responsible for the mess they created. They do not get a pass … and none of this “who could have known” stuff either.

Obama’s been taking credit for his healthcare plan since he signed it, now he says he had nothing to do with it.

It’s similar to what he did when he boasted about pulling troops out of Iraq then claimed Bush’s timeline forced him to do it.

Gruber and Romney actually had more input than Obama.

Well, it is true that the Massachusetts plan is supposed to be the model for Obamacare, but I doubt Romney actually gave the Democrats in Congress any input about what their plan would be.

I remember him saying “you’ll know it’s working well when they stop calling it ObamaCare”.

Well, boy-Marxist, the country is STILL calling it ObamaCare and it is as crappy as they kn ew it would be.
