Yes, but so what?

It only matters what our representatives who represent government like.

They know what’s best for us and not best for them.

So you are saying that Obama likes Big Business and Big Gov’t employees, but not average Americans?

Surely not! /s

But, the liberals tell us that people like Obamacare, when they are told about individual pieces of Obamacare, such as kids staying on parents insurance until age 26, coverage can’t be banned for pre-existing conditions, etc.

What amazes me is that, over three years after it passed, the Democrats are still selling the American people on Obamacare, still trying to explain what is in that 2000+ page document, which I bet Nancy Pelosi has still not read, etc. etc.

If Obamacare is so wonderful, and is supposed to make our lives complete and all that, why are the Democrats still in campaign mode to convince us how wonderful it is? Shouldn’t it be self evident how wonderful Obamacare is, if it were really so wonderful? Wouldn’t we see corporations embrace it, rather than shifting work hours, or eliminating their health plans and dumping their employees into the exchanges, if the world of Obamacare were such a healtcare utopia???

Yet, even CNN will quietly admit off-camera that the Black ONE (well, the half-BLACK ONE, the Messiah [er, uh you know the Muslim kind of Messiah whatever that is] cannot be diminished in any way because he is Diversity, he is Chosen, he is to be protected at all cost.

Once the 40% figure what it is (as I feel most are just ignorant about it) more will dislike it.

Reward our friends, punish our enemies.

That is the Chicago way.

But I would like to tell Mr. pResident and Speaker Boner that I have exempted myself.

As amply demonstrated when they [illegally] passed this thing, 536 of our *rulers* in DC know better than we, the great unwashed.

While we are fighting to get the Pubbies to defund this, we should remember that these same people had the power to stop this bill from getting passed the first time. They did not.

So, don’t be too surprised at the outcome of the current battle. For the most part, this is a choreographed song and dance for entertainment purposes only.

Well, considering anything Obama gets 40% just for showing up, That might be right...

But I have yet to meet anyone with an IQ above freezing who thinks Obamacare is a good idea.

The majority that opposes Obamacare are the ones who have to pay for it. The minority are those who will get what we have to pay for.

I guess people are starting to find out that it doesn’t mean completely free healthcare for everyone.

Really?!? Who knew! How many years has it been that polls have shown we do NOT want it or like it.

It doesn’t matter what we like, it only matters what the “Messiah” and the Dems want.
