Oh go brush the little doggy's teeth.President Obama has not at all be a failure.
If he were a Republican every Republican would be wildly cheering his success and pushing to name all sorts of buildings and structures after him.
Ronald Reagan was not only one of the worst presidents in the history of America..he was one of the biggest criminals. He really did commit treason. He really did violate the constitution. He really did break the law. He really did do massive damage to the economy. Yet conservatives hold this man up in the same reverence as the founders of the United States.
It's really quite shocking.
Well fulfilled uh...one promise since in office. That being socialized medicine.
Do you really think he socialized medicine?
He really didn't. What he ended up doing was giving a hell of a big bonus the the Health Insurance Industry and screwed the people of this country, but at least he didn't put our health care under the control of bureaucrats... or did he?

Like all dupes, I doubt you have ANY understanding of Health Reform. This the FIRST control of ANY KIND of health costs.And there WILL be medicaid for everyone making less than 130% of Poverty Level, up to $28k family of four...will be the most popular legislation EVER 1 minute after being implemented. And subsidies for poor workers up to $88k family of four, AND GUARANTEED. I don't believe you knew that, just Pubcrappe- it's like a state secret on corporate media.. Hopimg for your recovery.
In fact, the health care law is not only causing many businesses to drop or scale back their insurance plans — it's also preventing them from creating jobs.
A new National Association of Health Underwriters survey of nearly 2,400 insurance agents and brokers — who interact on a daily basis with employers who provide health insurance — hammers home the stark reality of the new law. More than half of brokers — 52 percent — report that some of their clients have dropped coverage altogether because of increased costs, which they attribute to health reform. Seventy percent have watched employers decrease the amount of coverage they provide, and a whopping 90 percent of firms have increased premiums for their employees.
Health reform has also caused employers to lay off workers or avoid hiring new ones. Forty percent of brokers state that their clients have eliminated jobs because of health reform, and 57 percent have seen businesses reduce hiring.
CBO, August 2010: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the legislation, on net, will reduce the amount of labor used in the economy by a small amount—roughly half a percent—primarily by reducing the amount of labor that workers choose to supply.
To be sure, some jobs will indeed be lost, CBO said. That’s because the new law requires many businesses to pay a penalty if they do not provide health insurance to their workers. That "will probably cause some employers to respond by hiring fewer low-wage workers," CBO said. But it also said these firms may hire more part-time or seasonal workers instead. CBO did not estimate the number of jobs likely to be affected either way.
The Affordable Care Act will lead to some people not working, but most of the cases won’t be because the law is providing any disincentives to hiring.
Are you kidding? Obama Care doesn't lower costs. It's going to raise them while at the same time it diminishes the quality of service. Obama Care was never about "fixing" health care costs...it was about taking a giant step towards universal health care. If they'd really wanted to lower costs they would have included tort reform but that was off the table right from the start because of all the $ that the trial lawyers sent Obama's way during the '08 election.
Holy shit, you're really out there in la la land.
Where are the Pubs wanting Tort Reform now, dumbazz?- that was a stalling tactic by the bought off, THAT IS ALL.The bill does include a provision for guidelines for care, which WILL be tort reform. This is a bare bill that will be tinkered with forever- but if you think Pubs will do ANYTHING to cut costs and regulate bloated health care corporations- YOU ARE THE IDIOT!!! Idiot.

Where else would he be? he's against healthcare reform because of made up reasons that hasn't happened yet. Not only that but he believes that he knows what Obamas unspoken motives are. Anyone who claims to know why someone did something is full of shit or a mindreader and mindreaders don't exist.
I'm against health care reform? No, actually I'm FOR health care reform. I wanted real health care reform...not Obama Care. I would have loved to see us take some steps to lower the cost of health care for Americans. The majority of Americans wanted that as well. What they DIDN'T want was the bloated, badly written health care reform bill that Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid crafted behind locked doors and shoved down our throats with "special procedures". That health care "reform" did more harm than good.

What's really scary for the Republicans is that the economy is going to be in full recovery mode next year.

A public option would be good; SINGLE-PAYER would be GREAT.
Why would anyone have to be a mind reader to know what Barack Obama wanted when it came to health care? He was very vocal about wanting universal health care. He couldn't get that because the Blue Dog Democrats wouldn't vote for it because they knew that the costs would be astronomical so he settled for the monstrosity of a bill that Harry and Nancy came up with as a first step towards the liberal "holy grail".
the US government can not afford to shoulder the costs of sky rocketing health care for Millions.
Duh, ain't that part of the thrust behind health care reform - to control costs?

Is that you, Joe Biden? We've been in "full recovery mode" since you progressives took power. Too bad we haven't done much "recovering".
The 39% are right. And Pubs have blocked EVERYTHING since 1/2010, which it appears 60% DON"T KNOW!! Great corporate media we have here. Even the "big liberals" are bought off or terrified of loudmouth Pubs- it's ridiculous. This is the Pub Obstruction economy now. That Debt Ceiling thing was a wakeup for the sleeping, but seriously folks...
You're seriously one of the most amusing people I've ever run across. Now you think the "corporate media" has been bought off because they aren't spewing YOUR laughable version of reality? Where did you hear that...MSNBC or Think Progress?

Depends on who runs it. If it is run by Washington bureaucrats, we're screwed. Guess what that is exactly what the public option intended.

I'll give you that... your party has no balls.
That's why we keep throwing you out....
As opposed to your party, which is quite willing to use serious procedures like impeachment and filibusters over some very trivial matters.
