Obama Takes Victory Lap at Obamacare Presser, Says 'Debate Is Over'

By Josh Encinias

President Obama said Obamacare has made the American health-care system “a lot better” and even though it has been “messy at times, it is progress” in a press conference Tuesday afternoon.

The White House said 7.1 million people have signed up for Obamacare as of today.

The president told reporters that there will be days when HealthCare.gov doesn’t work, ”I guarantee it,” but that it isn’t news anymore.

“The debate over repealing this law is over. The Affordable Care Act is here to stay,” said Obama.

President Obama chastised conservative politicians ”who based their career on repealing this law.” He said he doesn’t understand why conservatives are “working so hard for people not to have health insurance.”

The White House spent $52 million dollars in the last three months to urge people to enroll in Obamacare, but “we didn’t have billions of dollars in commercials like some critics did,” said Obama.

The president said ”many of the tall tales” were debunked along the way. “There are still no death panels. . . . Instead this law is helping millions of Americans.”

He had a warning for opponents of the law: ”History is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic economic security.”

From the Daily Mail:

Percentages from a hush-hush RAND Corporation study suggest barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans have enrolled and paid premiums

Notice that in his giddy victory speech he is back to calling it Obamacare.

This will someday be un-done, just as the “settled science” of climate-warming-change will ultimately be seen as a failure. But great harm will be done in the meantime due to the lack of action on the part of those who know better, and sit idly by.

"We told the press that 7.1 million signed up and that 49% of the people like the ACA. And they're going 24/7 with it!"

who would deny Americans their basic economic security

My deductible went up 40%. And my business is floundering because others can't afford to hire services due to ACA costs.

I am being denied economic security because of commie policies which steal my money. As are millions of others.

And now have free healthcare under Medicaid.

Someone has got to pay for the party.

Damn, I wish we had somebody in the Republican congressional leadership to answer this puke.
They need to be driving him into the dirt on this latest batch of BS 24/7.

One day no Democrat will ever mention this fool by name, just like they do with LBJ and Carter.

I hope after he is gone he just f*cking leaves the country.

”History is not kind to those who would deny Americans their basic economic security.”

Obama is a modern Nero and economic history will see him as worse than Nero.

No, it’s not over. There are still lawsuits for the Supreme Court.

"We, the people" decide when and where we allow government to take it's charge.

Not the other way around!
