" OBAMACARE is for US, OUR families, OUR staff,
and OUR mistresses and -- of course -- Islam.
So, serve us and die already, America."

Health Reform: Months before ObamaCare takes full effect, its popularity has hit an all-time low. And that's before the public experiences firsthand the many ill effects it will impose on the nation's health care system.
Shortly before Democrats rammed ObamaCare through Congress, President Obama's pollster, Joel Benenson, wrote in the Washington Post that "once reform passes, the tangible benefits Americans will realize will trump the fear-mongering rhetoric opponents are stoking today."
Not quite.

There may be so many scandals by this time next year, people will have a hard time deciding on what assault they should be focusing on and they may just tune it all out...
Until compliance letters from your friendly IRS start showing up in the mail. I plan on taking the 5th.

Just MAYBE by next year, this pos pres will be impeached and we can have this joke of a bill erased and thrown in the trash where libs live.....
It’s imperative to focus on the forest rather than the trees. Our entire form of government is under attack by Obama and his thugs.
I’ve learned, via two elections, that I can’t trust the people to make a decision based on expected future outcomes of the promises of politicians. They need to actually experience, personally, those outcomes before they will choose wisely (of course then it is usually too late).
I think 2014 is going to be a very, VERY bad year for Obama and, for that matter, the Democratic party, popularity wise.
Do you think the sheer cost and chaos of Obamacare will be enough to swing the moderates who voted for him and people who stayed home into voting against the Democrats in 2014?

But when people actually experience first hand the impact of this ludicrous law - and in large numbers - it is going to be a very bad time for liberal elected officials. Especially those that are facing an election year.
You won't be able to keep count of how many times you'll hear/read this sentence:
Without the Affordable Care Act, little Susie/Johnny/Bobby/whatever would have died."
You're going to hear similar sentiments repeated ad nauseum in every incumbent Democrat's campaign ad sequence.
I thought it was bad last October when my company’s benefits enrollment came with Medicaid forms, for those who could no longer afford the health insurance. 10% increase last year, likely to go up again.
Pelosi on Obamacare: ‘I Don’t Remember Saying that Everybody in the Country Would Have a Lower Premium’
“Everybody will have lower rates,” she said in 2012.
I will make a prediction that if Hillary is the 2016 Dem nominee one of her first campaign pledges will be to work with the Republican majorities in the Senate and House to repeal Obamacare. It achieves two things. One, it takes that issue away from the Republican candidate and two, it is a backhand to Obozo.
Next year is an election year. Not a good year to put Obamacare in place and run for election as a Democrat. So I fully expect bills to come forward that will act to delay the implementation by one year.
If so, who knows how the vote will go? Dems for it and GOP against? Could be.
This is just my opinion, but here is how I see it:
It’s the old analogy of how to boil a frog alive. You put it in cold water and turn up the heat so slowly that the frog doesn’t notice. By the time it does, its muscles have been incapacitated by the extreme heat and he can’t jump out. He ends up being boiled to death.
Obama’s problem of late is that he turned up the heat (slid us toward a totalitarian, fascist state) so fast that lots of frogs noticed and “jumped out” (no longer support him). Not all of them, of course.
Well, Obamacare’s full implementation is going to happen very fast. It will be an interesting world people will live in when thy see their medical bills, the mayhem in the industy and at doctors offices and clinics. It will be like switching the heat from medium to “full volcano heat” very rapidly.
Then, all but the “Obama get me free phone” crowd will jump. And those still in will simply do what they always do: destroy their own neighborhoods.
Wait until people get a load of the new tax forms they’ll have to complete next year.

1. She championed government health care in the 90’s. I was there in downtown Seattle when we shut her down. Obamacare will NEVER be repealed. It may be gutted and left as a mere “placeholder”, but not repealed. She would want to severely modify it to the point that it is not recognisable, but it will almost certainly never be repealed. I think it could be used as the heart of universal “single payer” health care.
2. I think hillary is done with politics. Her age, her health and the number of skeletons in her closet are fatal to any political aspirations. I see her as a form of the democrat’s version of Sarah Palin.
Repealing Obamacare is not impossible.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in the re-election headquarters of any Congressional Dem not from a deep blue neighborhood.
Repealing Obamacare is not impossible.
But the current demographic does not support that.
