Obama: GOP 'Holy Grail' Is 'Making Sure 30 Million People Don't Have Healthcare'
Independent Journal Review ^ | August 11, 2013 | Michael Miller

Posted on 08/11/2013 5:55:02 PM PDT by Kaslin

Friday, Barack “Reach Across the Aisle” Obama had an amped-up message for low-information voters: It is the “holy grail” of Republicans to make sure that 30 million Americans don’t have health insurance.

As reported by The Hill, in addition to saying that blocking ObamaCare has become the GOP’s “holy grail,” Obama called Republican opposition to his troubled healthcare plan (which is opposed by ever-increasing percentage of Americans) an “ideological fixation” as well.

Not only is this guy absolutely horrendous with a terrible record of reaching across the aisle outstanding at “reaching across the aisle,” he’s also pretty good at ridiculing, too. (You don’t suppose he means “fixation” as in his fixation with redistributing wealth, do you?)

“The one unifying principle in the Republican Party at the moment is making sure that 30 million people don’t have healthcare.”

This is what we commonly call a “lie.” Republicans do not want to make sure 30 million people don’t have insurance, and it is absurd to even say that. However, Republicans don’t want to implement a half-assed healthcare bill that would still leave upwards of 26 million (CBO estimate) uninsured.

Here’s to hoping that the American people can open their eyes to see what their President is really doing: dividing America with misleading rhetoric concerning an unpopular piece of legislation that is hardly the best that we can do.

When is somebody going to stand up to this guy and ask why if his stupid forced healthcare pal (which it is not - it is just as SCOTUS said it is - a tax hike)...if whatever you call this Obama plan is so great for everyone, why is Obama and his family exempt form it and why is Congress exempt?

Low Information Voters. These are NO information voters. If they had any information at all it would be a miracle. They are exactly what Obama and the Marxists want and need. People who know nothing, and think about nothing except maybe sex and free stuff.

The kenyan’s goal is to force everyone to pay through the nose for “healthcare” while denying medical treatment to old folks and limiting it severely for everyone else, except, of course, for the Anointed.

Oh Lord, is America tired of all this distortion and prevarication.
If the federal government is going to get involved in providing health care, it should start over and address just those persons who need help. (yes, i know this is not a federal level responsibility or delegated power to begin with... just saying..)

Right now, under Obamacare, the feds are like a prospective tenant who brings a cute little chiwawwah to meet the landlord and then moves with a herd of rottweillers.
If the feds are going to extend their involvement in Americans’ health care.... they should do it with some focus, some precision, and address any genuine problem while leaving the rest of us ALONE, without all the new taxes ... but with our chosen health care access undistrurbed.

I like this article, this defines how I will be next year and the same for the past 7 years. No healthcare insurance. What I get paid in my job, is far above minimum wage. What I have to pay for insurance for my family and I exceeds on average 1/3 of my pay. My current bills are only slightly above 1/3, and incidentals for survival are now approaching 1/2 my pay(gas, utilities, groceries). This leaves me with no discretionary spending money, nor any way to save for retirement or emergencies. Do I complain, not really. Does my family eat well? We try, I refuse to only purchase sub par food, and exist on only hamburger, and pasta while illegals and gimmedats feed on food that is equivalent to the rich. I make sure all of our food is non-gmo and non-growth hormone laden.

So what I have no insurance, we don’t get sick all that much, and if a medical emergency comes up, we will manage the best we can. I would rather pay the Communist IRS penalty for no insurance than give away over a third of my income for something I rarely use to begin with.

If Obamacare is so wonderful, NO EXEMPTIONS for unions, politicians, IRS, etc. EVERYONE sinks with the same albatross around their necks.

Obama: GOP 'Holy Grail' Is 'Making Sure 30 Million People Don't Have Healthcare'

Obama's "Holy Grail" is "Making sure 150,000,000 adult Americans don't have a job."

The Democrats had to steal 2 seats (the late Kennedy’s seat and Al Franken’s seat) AND buy off several Senators to pass Obamacare with a 60 vote majority. By hook or by crook.

WULLL hey now,

You dont think eddie got them talkin points from on the inner sanctums of the dnc do ya?....I’d hate to think he was just a liberal party lap doggie dog ...and was a sorta parrotin THEIR points....He was doin a heap a prayin and sayin. Calling for REP. expiation from on high. I was gettin scared to be a conservative there for awhile. Those msnbc messers will say ANYTHING...
