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....

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

Oh for crying out loud.

I got that same BS from a commenter on youtube. It’s the same crap we heard Mary Landrieu say a few days ago when she said “no free riders”. Bulls#$%, this is the Free Rider Party.

These people use God,
but only when they
feel it’s to their advantage.

Otherwise, God is nowhere
in their lives.

off subject: I love football,
but I’ve got to stop
going to sports bars: all
junk food and beer/booze!

Except of course them, they have exempted themselves from having to comply with their own "laws."

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

Please explain why there are more people on food stamps than ever before, and why under hubby's tenure food stamps benefits to each person have risen 30%... Sounds like a huge handout to me...

Just because something bad could happen to somebody, we should wreck the US medical system and economy, and load future generations with more debt? Is that what she is saying?

Right now I have good insurance, I am pretty well covered, and I don’t have a $5,000 dollar deductible.

I look at these poor folks losing their insurance and being screwed with the new Obamacare coverage and I say. There but for the grace of God go I.

Michelle is backing a wholesale destruction of America’s healthcare.

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

I know a lot of people that believe that, not a single one could be included in your grifter administrations definition of "we"

The article title is misleading. "First Lady" should be "Worst Lady."
