Obama More Proud of Passing Health Care Law than Killing Osama Bin Laden

Obama More Proud of Passing Health Care Law than Killing Osama Bin Laden MAR 20, 2012 • BY JOHN MCCORMACK

President Barack Obama recently told a Democratic congresswoman that the proudest achievement of his presidency was passing the national health care law in 2010.

"Last time I saw the president I asked he what he was most proud of," Democratic congresswoman Carolyn Maloney of New York said at a Capitol Hill press conference Tuesday afternoon. "I think he has quite a positive record. Osama bin Laden is no longer with us. ... Libya and Tunisia are transforming to democracy, which is important, I think, for their people and peace and stability--the credit card bill of rights, stabilizing our economy, cracking down on abusive practices in sub-prime lending."

"I didn't know what he was going to say," Maloney continued. "He said he is most proud of having passed health care and providing health care to 40 million Americans who didn't have health care in 2014."

The news that Obama views the passage of the national health care law as his proudest achievement could help Republicans make the case against Obama. The law remains deeply unpopular, and Republicans have repeatedly criticized Obama for focusing on health care rather than the unemployment rate and the economy.

40 million Americans who didn't have health care in 2014.

He modestly skips over the whole Time Machine invention achievement.

If that’s true then it must be the most heroic thing anyone’s ever done in the last, like, 1,000 years.

Like most real heroes he's modest about the risks he took
and the bravery required to get Bin Laden. Not to mention
the endless training and conditioning. In a recent news
conference he said, “I and the rest of the SEAL team..EEEEK!
a spider!....”

Of course he is more proud of Obamacare.

Bin Laden was an old has been who was being henpecked by his wives.

Obamacare will lead to the destruction of America’s economy and health care

You have to know Obama’s priorities. He wants to break us and he is well on the way to doing it.

Killing one fanatical Muzzie doesn’t mean anything when you’ve designed a plan that will allow you to kill millions of Americans. I can see Barry’s point.

...first of all, he didn’t kill anyone.....yet. He wasn’t even in the room.....the photo had to be redone. Second, when Obamacare gets dumped, he could care less.....this whole charade has been pulled off to steal billions and walk away leaving the US in debt and reeling. He could give a s***.
The clown can’t make a decision on anything....last week he was lobbying against Keystone, this week he’s fast tracking part of it, IF something good happens he wants the credit, if it all goes to s***, he doesn’t know anything.

Poor Bari...
I feel sorry for him.
His whole life has been a tool for others to use.

He’s as hollow as you can get.

Killing an entire country is a much bigger accomplishment.

I’m telling you, if he pulls this off they’ll be singing his praises in mosques for a thousand years.

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO BOMBED THE PENTAGON

_________________________________________________________

From HumanEvents.com, April 29, 2008:
"By all accounts, he [Obama friend and associate, Bill Ayers] was a ferocious, violent, revolutionary Marxist in his halcyon days as a Weatherman leader. He and his Weatherman bombers were enamored of Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Fidel Castro, Mao Tse-tung -- indeed, all the murderous heroes on the Left. Referring to the Weatherman members in August 1969, he said (according to the FBI): 'We’re revolutionary Communists.'

He got off on the group’s multiple explosions, too, and discusses them rather lovingly in his memoir.

Ideal Bombing Weather:
'Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon,' he writes (although he concedes it was really a group effort). 'The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.' (p. 256 in the 2003 edition.)

BOTH OBAMA AND OSAMA HAVE
FRIENDS WHO WANTED TO BOMB FORT DIX

From David Horowitz's FrontPageMag.com/DiscoverTheNetworks.org:
March 6, 1970: "three members of the Weather Underground accidentally killed themselves in a Manhattan townhouse while attempting to build a powerful bomb they had intended to plant at a social dance in Fort Dix, New Jersey -- an event that was to be attended by U.S. Army soldiers. Hundreds of lives could have been lost had the plot been successfully executed."
http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/groupProfile.asp?grpid=6808

"The bomb was intended to be planted at a non-commissioned officer's dance at Fort Dix, New Jersey.
The bomb was packed with nails to inflict maximum casualties upon detonation."

2007 Fort Dix attack plot

A group of six radical Islamist[1] men, allegedly plotting to stage an attack on the Fort Dix military base in New Jersey, United States, were arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on May 7, 2007. They were subsequently charged with planning an attack against U.S. soldiers. The alleged aim of the six men was said to be to "kill as many soldiers as possible".[2] Their trial began on October 20, 2008. [3]

Opening arguments were presented on October 20, 2008.
Assistant U.S. Attorney William Fitzpatrick said the defendants were inspired by jihad saying "Their motive was to defend Islam. Their inspiration was Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden.

That’s a no-brainer. Think how many more people he will kill with 0bamaCare.
