Obama Urges Republicans to Drop Health Law Fight (NEVER! We are not a Communist Country!)
ny times ^ | 10/1/2013 | Jackie Calmes

Flanked by new beneficiaries of his health law, President Obama on Tuesday publicly admonished Republicans in the House to “reopen the government” rather than continue to block federal spending to battle the three-year-old Affordable Care Act.

“As long as I am president, I will not give in to reckless demands by some in the Republican Party to deny affordable health insurance to millions of hard-working Americans,” Mr. Obama said, adding with a gesture toward his guests in the sunny Rose Garden, “I want Republicans in Congress to know – these are the Americans you’d hurt if you were allowed to dismantle this law.”

The president’s televised appearance captured the split-screen aspect of the first day of October: The first day of a new fiscal year dawned to a government shuttered for lack of new funding, yet for the first time putting into effect a key piece of the health-care law that is at the center of the budget showdown between the parties. Tuesday was the first day that uninsured Americans, about 15 percent of the population, could start enrolling in the state-based insurance marketplaces, known as exchanges, created by the 2010 law.

Obama should simply resign.

“...demands by some in the Republican Party to deny affordable health insurance to millions of hard-working Americans,”

BS

The message about what their real intentions are needs to be heard by every citizen in the U.S. that is too stupid to figure it out on their own.

Almost 4 years of failure to defund Obamacare is proof enough that Boehner has been a failure as the Speaker of the House.

Boehner skated by during this battle ONLY because Reid wanted to shutdown the Government, and couldn’t care less about taking Boehner to the cleaners, as usual. Thank you, Senator Reid.

The next battle is what Reid is preparing for: Crushing all Republican opposition to a large increase in the Federal Budget.

Reid’s plan is to move quickly, (Obama is scandal ridden, and has but 3 years left if he is not Impeached), to enshrine Obamacare as a single payer, Federal Insurance system.

Then Federal Obamacare Insurance premiums can be raised by the IRS anytime the Democrats need to extract more money from the taxpayers.

Thus, Congress would not be involved in this tax money raising scheme.

As for the Republicans, Reid is unconcerned about them, as he has always been able to beat them EVERY TIME.

Well, every time that Boehner has been Speaker of the House.

After nearly 5 years on the job, Sobber of the House Boehner still hasn’t figured out that Reid and Obama are permanently emotionally stunted at the 2 to 4 year old, temper tantrum level.

Boehner must be the most stupid man in our sorry Federal Government.

Boehner was led kicking and screaming to not cave-in to Reid. That is to his credit, but just barely.

Boehner was waaaaaaaaaay to timid with 2 year old Reid, and damn near gave up on staying on offense by continually trying to cave in to 2 year old Reid.

Thankfully, Reid wanted this shutdown, convinced Obama to want it too, and avoided the temptation to take Boehner to the cleaners again. Thank you Senator Reid!

Boehner has nothing left now so he must be shitcanned ASAP.

This First Reid Shutdown is a blessing in disgust.

Ignore the slings and arrows that the fans of Obamanation hurl at us.

They enjoy making noise and Federal messes, and they are good at it.

We Conservative Republicans have the responsibility of adult leadership to the 53 % of the voters who still pay their Federal Income Taxes. We have a lot of work to do!

The House needs to get rid of Boehner, replace him with a fighter, say Newt or Allen West (the House rules allow members to choose anyone, even non-members to be Speaker).

Then the new Speaker needs to appoint 3 Special Prosecuters : 1.) Benghazi; 2.) IRS; 3.) NSA.

This is a perfect time to clean up the mess that Obama, Reid and Pelosi have made, abolish Obamacare, and start to wean Americans off of the Federal Welfare teat.

Let the fans of Obamanation scream and holler, for that is what they have been doing for the last 5 years. Let them have their brand of hate-filled fun. We have work to do.

It is time for the Republican adults to lead the juvenile RINOs to clean up the dung heap that is truly an Obamanation.

Sometimes one has to work with the crew that one is saddled with.

Damn the Democrats! Full speed ahead!

Post of the day! You are dead on. The ultimate goal of 0bamacare is to CONTROL WHO LIVES AND WHO DIES SO AS TO ENSURE A PERMANENT MAJORITY FOR THE MARXOCRATS.

ALL agencies under 0bama have targeted Republicans, not JUST the IRS. If you are a Republican and have any type of application submitted to ANY agency, your application will either be stonewalled or denied. This is a dirty little secret but it needs to be exposed. I have personal experience with this, as others do I’m sure.

Progressives love murder, that is why they love abortion so much..and they will kill off the elderly too, wasn’t it the schmuck brother of Rahmbo Dead Fish Emmanual who wrote a book saying that up to a certain age your life has meaning but after I think age 40 your pretty much done and there is no point in giving you good health care..see, with libs, they see the elderly and the very young as wastes of space..they see illegal aliens as their future because hey, with illegals, they will always vote Dem as long as you throw them a few freebies..the Dems will own them for life

Forcing people to contract against their will is worth a Civil War.

The Pub's need to assemble their own mob of victims who have been laid off or had hours reduced because of this law - but - they would need to find their spines first

Just another dog and pony show. Look at the effort he spent here getting all these people together. Only one missing is his dog Bo, I wonder if Bo’s flying somewhere on his new Osprey plane. Probably golf at noon with Reggie.

That’s just their usual lying tactic. The law wasn’t the law when they fought the will of the people as expressed through propositions against sodomite marriage.

Words of wisdom from Barack Obama's favotite Englishman:

“Never give in. Never give in.
Never, never, never, never - in nothing, great or small, large or petty.
never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense.
Never yield to force.
Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

-- Winston Churchill

The reasons, imo, are inverted.

They want to control who lives and dies,
so that is why they seek power.
