The president has dispatched first lady Michelle Obama to rally Democrats around his beleaguered Obamacare which she has boiled down to one religious phrase: “There but for the grace of God go I.”

At a New York City fundraiser for Senate Democrats Monday, the first lady opened with a long defense of Obamacare, suggesting her audience lives by the principle that everyone should have insurance.

“We don’t believe in handouts. We don’t think anyone should get a free ride,” she said Monday afternoon in a speech at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers.

“But we also understand one simple principle — that there but for the grace of God go I; that in the blink of an eye, any of us — any of us — could be faced with a terrible diagnosis. Any of us could be injured in a horrible accident. Any of us could lose the job we count on to support our family — any of us,” she said....

So now she's a comedian?

She mentioned God? Wow.

To which god is she referring?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I wonder if FLATUS has any idea what they phrase means.

[A CA Guy]

The slogan should be, “I can smell it and you don't have to see the bottom of your shoe to know what it is, it's Obamacare”.

We don’t believe in handouts. We don’t think anyone should get a free ride,”

Since when?

If you like your handouts, you can keep your handouts, period.

“We don’t believe in handouts. We don’t think anyone should get a free ride,” she said

One believes that an informed reader would stop right here.

Snap, the god of food stamps, the provider of nourishment.

Grace of God, yes that’s is all we need. All this cradle to grave government crap is what is truly sadistic and satanic.

“We don’t believe in handouts. We don’t think anyone should get a free ride,” she said Monday afternoon in a speech at the Sheraton Hotel and Towers.

That's exactly what 0DeathScam is...more handouts and free rides to the takers on the backs of hard working, taxpaying Americans who are barely getting by.

There but for the grace goes she? Really? Marie Antoinette who gets everything handed to her and works for nothing.

"She mentioned God? Wow."

I hope you're being sarcastic. It's pretty obvious her mention of God is just cover for reaction to his removal of God from his comment on Gettysburg. He removes God and he doesn't attend the anniversary ceremony. He's neither Christian nor American and he no longer needs to pretend he is because the election is over for him now.

Grace and God, two things we can all be assured she knows nothing about.

[Mark17]

She mentioned God? Wow.

Were there any reports of lightning strikes nearby?

This argument works on a lot of people, even folks here on FR. As conservatives, we should not underestimate the confusion the left can cause by conflating our duties to God with our duties under an intentionally limited form of government. This government is not God, and healthcare is not a God-given right. No earthly government has the authority to conscript either patients or doctors into involuntary servitude. Live free or die trying.
