Obama Now May Have Doubts ObamaCare Will Work

In the words of POTUS himself, Obama may have doubts his own healthcare law will even work. 


Implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act, popularly known as ObamaCare. has been at best rocky, requiring many changes, delays in implementation, and still facing significant opposition at the state level. Recent Polls show high rates of public disapproval of the program, including 54% at CBS last week.

Responding to these polls and defending his namesake ObamaCare, POTUS said the " law will gain popularity once key provisions take effect next year and people are able to more easily purchase insurance."

Then he went on to say  " ......The test of this (ObamaCare) is going to be, is it working. And if it works, it will be pretty darn popular." (bold mine) This uncertainty was revealed during a New York Times interview buried in the last few graphs.

If it works. If ObamaCare Works.

The Times interviewers, Jackie Calmes and Michael D. Shear , sure missed their follow up chance on this one. 

Why do you think it might not work, Mr. President?

What happens if it does not work, Mr. President?

In just a few months, enrollment in the ObamaCare exchanges starts, with coverage to commence on January 1, 2014.

Perhaps we would be best served if we knew now what would happen if ObamaCare does not work. Soon it may be too late.

Did Obama State a Marxist Principle in the Debate?

Most of us, at least back when schools actually taught their students, learned that Karl Marx wrote a communist manifesto, and the the main creed was this: 'From each according to his ability, to each according to his need (or needs)', which was the 'campaign slogan' popularized by Karl Marx.

Let's take a quick look at the closing argument from the debate made by POTUS. From the Weekly Standard with the link below.

>>>>>
Obama: ' And everybody's getting a fair share," Obama said, before quickly correcting himself and adding. "Everybody's doing a fair share, and everybody's playing by the same rules,"
>>>>>
Pretty close?

'From each according to their abilities' vs 'Everybody's doing a fair share'

'To each according to his needs' vs 'Everybody's getting a fair share'

Doing your fair share based on your abilities and getting a fair share based on your needs.

Is this one of those '...same rules...' he wants us to be playing by, or am I reaching?

Read More at the Weekly Standard:  Everybody's getting a fair share

With an update on the way......

Romney Staff Memo Leaked, Lowers the Debate Bar

Strange way to leak it. Romney will most likely win the first debate and prevail in the eyes of the voters, however the MSM probably already have their Obama Wins BIG headlines and articles ready to go, no matter what happens in the actual debate. Obama can disclose recipes for tastily cooked Dog Dishes he enjoyed as a child and the MSM will tell us how nutricious and healthy they are. But the voters won't be fooled, now or in November.

Keep in mind the questions posed by the moderators will just be white noise for the candidates to ignore. Their answers will be the stock phrases memorized as the position least likely to offend the majority of voters. Follow up questions may challenge the original answer, and in this are Mitt will shine. He can actually think on his feet somewhat. POTUS often does not.

Keep it on track. It's the economy. The only answer is "I will create the conditions for more JOBS!!"

GOP Budget Fears: Flights Cancelled, jobs lost, less accurate weather forecasts, may affect food, water, air regulation

The Madness of Desperation. Slamming the Republican budget, POTUS claims if Republicans are elected it will likely cause flight cancellations, loss of air traffic controllers, and less accurate weather forecasts. Also emergency evacuations during severe weather events will be delayed, since the GOP Budget will not allow new satellites to launch.

This comes from a President who cancelled the NASA Space Programs and put thousands out of work, making Brevard County look like a ghost town.

POTUS goes on to say we will be unable to enforce the laws that regulate food, air and water. Woe is us! This warning portends a fearful scenario indeed. Almost Apocalyptic.
