Obama: Supreme Court wrong to take up ObamaCare challenge - he's "puzzled" 'cause it works

Obama is losing this case. He knows he is losing this case. And his minions are trying to figure out how to lay the blame for all of this on Republicans for 2016.

Anyone who thinks King vs Burwell is not welcomed by Democrats hasn’t been watching what is going on. Obama loses this and it is Cloward-Piven X 100. The entire system will break down. Not because Republicans can’t fix it, but because the media and the Rats won’t let them.

A SCOTUS ruling favorable to zerocare will solidify the irrelevance of SCOTUS

**************
More likely it will signify the irrelevance of the Constitution. Game, set, match.

“Obama rejected the basis for the challenge and said it is “well documented” that the authors of the Affordable Care Act “never intended” to block people on federal exchanges from obtaining the subsidies.”

No ass, they did not intend to block, they intended for states to decide whether they wanted the subsidies given the later downside to accepting them. Otherwise, why make it an option if there was not to be one? This guy indeed was taught to be a 3 card monte dealer...now you see it, now you don’t. The point is he does nothing but turn around the meaning of something to mean something which it never intended to mean.

I’ve well documented my brilliance here on FR. It doesn’t mean that I am?

what was Three years ago an Employer paid Benefit is now costing me $5,200 per year along with a 2,500 deductible.

Similar case with me. Used to be no cost/no deductible for my family, now $430 per month plus $1,000 individual deduction or $2,000 for my family of four.

“Part of what's bizarre about this whole thing is, we haven't had a lot of conversation about the horrors of ObamaCare because none of them have come to pass,” he said.

Oceania is at war with Eastasia. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

Since the mandate is a "tax", any subsidies would be deemed a "tax credit" or "refund", and since Congress established the Federal "tax" and subsidies, the contingencies on those tax credits cannot be used selectively to discriminate against people based on geography, or the state establishing an exchange. The right of the people to Obamacare shall not be infringed.

Or some other line of horse hockey like that.

For most of the middle class these policies are horrible. Massive deductibles are turning all but most expensive policies into incredibly expensive catastrophic policies. This means many in the middle class are paying 6 to 700 a month for the privilege of paying all their medical expenses out of pocket. This is just a massive transfer of wealth.

“This should have been an easy vote; frankly Obama shouldn’t have even been elected.”

There; fixed it.

More likely it will signify the irrelevance of the Constitution. Game, set, match.

Well, there is that, too. God save America!

[martinidon]

The vote on this happened months ago. The decision was probably written a while back too. Anything he says today is for his base consumption only, it will not change or tweak the decision in anyway.

[BradtotheBone]

Ever notice that every time Obama is outside the US, he always bad mouths our country?

[Sister_T]

Exactly. I remember this happening the last time.

He came out with some statement about SCOTUS and this abomination of a law just prior to them rendering their ruling and what happened? Justice Roberts magically changed the law into a “tax”, thus upholding this “crap sandwich”.

Now, it’s happening again. With his mole on the court in the form of Elena Kagen (sp?), she’s probably telling him (or one of his bots in the administration) which way the court is leaning and he comes out with this stupid, reality-free statement about the court. Watch, Roberts will lead the way with uphold this monstrosity by redefining the subsidies or some other nonsense. You’re right; the fix is in!

[martinidon]

Mine did too! My Dr was like 58. I asked him what he was going to do and he said something he enjoyed that wasn't so heavily regulated by the Government. He said it was going to cost him $100’s of thousands of dollars to come into compliance with obamacare. He said that would come off his bottom line and out of his pocket!

[KevinB]

The decision has been made. It’s being written up. This one will go against Obungo.

[CSM]

“He did say there was one way to resolve the dispute over the law: “Congress could fix this whole thing with a one-sentence provision,” he said.”

Dear Justices,

The President just asked you to overturn the law and allow Congress to “fix it.” It is exactly as you should be doing...

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Ever notice that every time Obama is outside the US, he always bad mouths our country?

That is the FIRST thing that struck me.

[Mr. K]

I can’t tell what is real and what is satire any more...

[BradtotheBone]

This one ticked me off the most:

[LMAO]

You said..
“The decision has been made. It’s being written up. This one will go against Obungo”

I'm leaning that way, too. Not just as it relates to this case in particular but by ruling in favor of BHO, the court would be setting forth a precedent that the president alone decides laws in this country
