Pelosi: It's Not "Obamacare"
KFBK News ^ | March 20th 2014 | Mike Simpson

Posted on 03/20/2014 4:03:40 PM PDT by mdittmar

The President has embraced the term, but Nancy Pelosi is still a bit annoyed by that people keep referring to The Affordable Care Act as "Obamacare." The Democratic Congresswoman chided a reporter who asked her if the new law will be a "winner or loser" for Democrats facing re-election in 2014.

"I believe it's a winner, and by the way, it's called, 'The Affordable Care Act,' it's called, 'The Affordable Care Act.' I know you didn't intend any compliment, or derogatory...it's called, 'The Affordable Care Act,'" she replied.

Pelosi joked that she'd gladly tell President Obama the same thing before criticizing Republicans in the House for repeatedly attempting to repeal the law.

The Congresswoman said its opponents repeatedly try to get away from the word "affordable."

Remember when this cupid stunt was saying, the contract ON America instead of the contract FOR America?

Okay then Nanc. Have it your way - from now on it’s DemocratCare seeing as how Democrats passed it with not one Republican vote.

> Pelosi is a socialism-failure denier. These Democrat socialism-failure deniers are dangerous.

Yes they are. Why are they denying it when the facts make it so obvious?We should make it against the law for denying it. Why because I have a PhD in my title, I’m an athiest, a liberal and smarter than you...j/k

Imagine the whole country suddenly calling it that. The POTUS’ hair-greying would slow down a notch, but the problems associated with his lies with respect to the mess of a law won’t go away.

Isn’t that it though? Disagree and “you should be jailed”! I’m glad you understood my mocking their climate change overnight talk fest and calls for “jail”, although they really are socialism-failure deniers.

That's because it's not.

How about it? “Pelosicare” had such a ring to it, it carried all these years. Not like “Obamacare,” right?
I humbly propose “ReidCare.” If we can wrap ACA around the neck of every Dem Senate candidate, and thereby defeat enough of them to drive Reid from Majority Leader status, it will be good for the country. Pelosi has, please God, no shot at the Speaker’s chair in 2015, and Obama isn’t on the ballot.

it’s the “not a tax when we shill it to citizens, but a tax when we defend it at SCOTUS”, act.

The latest name for this abomination: “Obama Socialized Health Insurance Tax”.

I leave it to inventive minds to come up with the apt acronym. :-)

OK Nancy, so it is not Obamacare, it is Obamascare. Sounds better to me already.
