President gets Obamacare blowback in online chat
Washington Times ^ | 1/31/14 | Dave Boyer

**SNIP**

Rebecca Stewart of Covington, Ky., told the president she has had “a really panicked experience” trying to learn whether her 10-year-old son can continue with his specialist physician.

“I cannot keep my plan, which I like,” Mrs. Stewart told the president. “I’ve spent weeks with days on the phone getting confidently delivered wrong answers, conflicting information, and it’s becoming quite obvious to me that a lot of agencies, almost every one I’ve talked to, is having a lot of trouble figuring out the new rules.”

Mr. Obama, taking part in the online chat from the White House, promised to get her an answer by the end of the day.

“What I’ll do first right away is make sure that somebody out of here, this White House, calls you directly,” the president said. “And I promise you not only will they be confident, but it will be the right answer.”

Obviously you missed the preposition “if” in my comment. I am not telling anyone to watch it for me or anyone else. If they are forced to watch it or choose to do so, I would like some lead comedy material.

We finally found a good job for Obama...customer service rep for obamacare.

And the new narrative will be:

Obamacare killed my son (daughter, mother, father...)

We will not be watching the Bill O. interview. It was sickening enough to listen to Bill promote this all week like a girl who has just been asked to the Prom by the star football player. Maybe FOX thinks this will be a big star in their crown..I think not!

Right, I expect him to lay down for his imperial leadership as he did once before when he tossed him soft ball after soft ball and then had the gall to come on his show and say he had to be deferential to the President and probably allowed him to bloviate a bit. Sure Bill, whom was the moderator? You sir. I lost all respect for the man then. Almost as much as I did when I found out he used a draft exemption of being a school teacher in 71, of course until the draft ended.

The interview will happen in the 4pm-5pm (Eastern TZ) hour, so if you don’t want to see any of it, don’t be tuned to Fox during that hour.

My wife asked me what I would do if we had the chance to meet obama. I told her I’d hand him a copy of the Constitution and ask if he’s ever actually read it.

I always carry an extra copy with me.

...the president said. “And I promise you not only will they be confident, but it will be the right answer.”

The White House has all the right answers. It's a good thing we have them around to ask.

And the answer is... an IRS tax audit for Mrs. Stewart!

You wanna bet that call from the White House was a threat to this woman?

Liberal fascists want to be in power, concentrating power in their hands. Then they are swamped with requests for help and demands for assistance, which they pawn off to a bureaucracy filled by well-paid neo-aristocrats.
She begs for help, he looks good because she has to beseech the king for aid, he does something by delegating to a lesser, whose 100K salary is now justified.
And a free person now has to go through the state for aid in life and death matters.

He would be a great ocare specialist, since no one knows anything he would fit right in..lady lady, the important thing is that I said all is well, and all else means nothing, and don’t tell me you have ideas for your life, I am doing the will of the people, uh scumbag potus, what people are you getting the will from, so far it seems you are the one to declare the peoples will without asking anyone, that’s what the constitution is for to protect the people from an obviously serial liar, that’s delusional as well. Mr pos potus, go live your lifd, we will see no more than a confused wimp of a man who cannot stand the light of day.

I hate to be this way but I hope every Obot that voted for Barry gets their insurance cancelled and has to sign up for Ocare at twice the premium. Maybe a few of them will wake up.
