At a rally in Maine, President Obama pushed back a bit on Republican assertions that the new health care legislation would herald the end-of-days.
Mr. Obama, speaking to a boisterous crowd in Portland, noted that the House Republican leader, Representative John A. Boehner of Ohio, was among those to predict catastrophic results.
“John Boehner called the passage of this bill Armageddon,” Mr. Obama said, struggling to finish his sentence over boos at the mention of Mr. Boehner’s name.
“You had others who said this is the end of freedom as we know it,” he continued. “So after I signed the bill, I looked around.”
The laughter began to build.
”I looked up at the sky to see if asteroids were coming,” Mr. Obama said. More laughter.
“I looked at the ground to see if cracks had opened up in the earth,” he continued. “You know what, it turned out it was a pretty nice day. Birds were still chirping. Folks were strolling down the street. Nobody had lost their doctor. Nobody had pulled the plug on Granny. Nobody was being dragged away to be forced into some government-run health care plan.”
Then, the comedian-in-chief had a few choice remarks for commentators in the media.
“You have to love some of the pundits in Washington,” he said. “Every single day since I signed the reform law, there’s been another poll or headline that said, ‘Nation still divided on health care reform. Polls haven’t changed yet.’ Well, yeah. It just happened last week. It’s only been a week.
Can you imagine if some of these reporters were working on a farm? You planted some seeds, and they came out the next day, and they looked, and nothing’s happened! There’s no crop! We’re going to starve! Oh, no! It’s a disaster!”

Ask the people getting laid off where it is Obummer.
Hey, Oblablah....We’ll bring Armageddon down at a time of our choosing. We’re keeping you in suspense. How do you like the wait?
This evil man is mocking his new slaves.
If this demon doesn’t fall and fall hard soon than it will be proof that God does not exist.
He’s probably not going to wait.
“Nothing important happened today.” - from the diary of England’s King George III, July 4, 1776
Bring it on little bitch-boy. He wouldn’t dare say anything near that to Boehner’s face.
Armageddon........................2014.
But will never fund the bill. It will be defunded into perdition.
It would be on the plain of Megido in Israel... You know the country you hate almost as much as this one.
All of them who voted for this horror are low class jerks.
What an arrogant, evil, creepy sack ...well, I’ll restrain myself now.
What sewer did this thing crawl out of, and how is it now President of the United States? Seriously, every day when I see him come out with taunts like this, I have to ask myself if it is all a horrible nightmare. I never believed something like this could happen to our country.
This abused Man-Boy needs to ......
stop.
Wasn’t it Zero who told us that he would spend us into certain prosperity?
Classic case of running his mouth and shoving his foot in deeper and deeper. I think “Armageddon” is due to hit in this Fall’s elections - at least for the idiots who voted for this travesty.
What a punk. He’s just a immature punk.
The day you were mistakenly elected, Obozo.
Another Idi Amin.
This mocking bird will soon get his wings clipped - November isn’t that far away and neither is 2012.
Perhaps the President hasn’t heard the latest information from AT&T, Verizon and Caterpillar.
Meanwhile, I think we should all be emailing him and ask where our raises are - after all, we’re supposed to receive one from that great 3000% reduction in premiums our employer is getting.
