@RileyRichardz Multiple pens are used to sign every bill so that they can be given out and several people can own a pen that was part of the signature
Obamacare was signed on March 2010 with 59% of the people disapproving according to a CNN poll. The CBO scored Obamacare on six years of coverage for 10 years of taxes, which is how the CBO showed the bill to be deficit neutral . It’s unconstitutional mandating all citizens to purchase health care. Even Pelosi said, “We have to pass the bill, so you can find out what is in it.” watch?v=KoE1R-xH5To It’s also meant to take over industry watch?v=p-bY92mcOdk
This is the beginning of the end of the USA. Fiscally, we will never be able to pay for it all, and it will ultimately bankrupt us, just like it did to the USSR. We are doomed to repeat history with idiots like Obama, Reed, and Pelosi.
Only thing that might save us is the 2010/2012 elections, if the American people vote them out of office. Otherwise enemies of the USA will one day demand repayment, or indentured servatude (slavery) to repay our stupid spending spree!
1 health care provided by the gov should not be free everyone is going to abandon there current plan for the free plan thus crippling the healthcare industry and then the gov has to pay everyones medical bills yeah add on to our currently growing debt great idea
2 insurance shouldn't be manditory
3 it needs to be a federal offense to refuse someone health insurance because of a pre existing condition
he had to exchange the pens cuz they are given as a gift to members of congress (or others) who helped make the law. its a tradition the dates back idk how far but thats all it is, a tradition. u'll find that alot of president did the same, including ronald reagan i think.

@anger42 The kid's mother died because she couldn't afford healthcare, so Obama invited him to view the signing. My friend was interning at the White House at the time, and he actually bought the kid's suit minutes before the signing.
Im all for people getting good healthcare and people with life altering illnesses getting care. But what this bill is going to do is bankrupt the entire nation and making this country alot weaker. Meanwhile jobs are still in the gutter, energy prices are still a joke, and GITMO is still open. What happened to the campaign promises.
@rimmer333 The white house made a vid of it. Every pen goes to each person who made a giant contribution to the health care bill, whether adding or editing parts. one pen goes to each person, pres keeps a pen, another pen goes to be saved for future.
Good job Obama and American people that helped make it happen...those greedy motherfuckers couldn't hold the masses back forever. Keep going Obama, keep going
He has to use so many pens to make sure that the American people realize the that the right is nutty, backwards, and completely wrong to what the American people want. Come one Righties...You know he he using a ball tip and not a gel. This is the Socialist agenda hard at work, making sure you have something to take up your time in between Palin rallies and watching FoxNausea! All part of the bigger plan! Muahaha. I know. Glenn Beck needs to put this on a chalkboard for you to realize it. Sad.
all the pens will become souvenirs for the assorted marxist, malcontents, miscreants, losers, liberals and loons that he associates with. he may send one to uncle fidel.
dear uncle fidel--
this is the pen i used when i signed the bill you called a miracle. the bill that put the u.s out of business, bankrupted and broke. your favorite nephew president barry
How is he dumb every country in the US had healthcare except for the US all the dumb republicans hate it because they didnt want the poor people to have what they have but guess what crackers?? we have free healthcare
you're right "change has come to america" and in 10 or 20 years when this nation is flat on its ass crushed under debt and your children are struggling to live a life of poverty remember how happy you were.
well if you think america is spending money they don't have on healthcare, how about you think of it as another unnecessary war and that might help you sleep better at night. think of it this way, we are saving the america people from the "terrorism of diseases"
what makes you think i would approve of fighting another war. you do realize that both iraq and afghanistan received OVERWHELMING BI-PARTISAN support, right. irag and afghanistan were not bush's flights or fancy. AND as costly as the war has been (1 trillion in 10 years) that is not going to break us. ENTITLEMENTS will. social security _
--54 TRILLION...MEDICAIR --34 TRILLION and OBAMACARE would be the biggest of them all.
Looks like a whole lot of DOUBLE STANDARD BULLSHIT going on here.Why wasn't there a White,Asian,Mexican,and Native American kid standing there watching that idiot sign America into bankruptcy?
"Looks like a whole lot of DOUBLE STANDARD BULLSHIT going on here.Why wasn't there a White,Asian,Mexican,and Native American kid standing there watching that idiot sign America into bankruptcy?"
the white kids weren't allowed in.
the indian kids were too liquored up.
the mexican kids were hiding in the shadows.
and the asian kids were too busy studying and figuring how much allowance they have to save to buy the west coast.
this is not what martin luther king was talking about. he wanted to keep our constitution and he wanted the people to stand up to them. Obamas people are the same people that killed martin luther king
@7floridaboy Every time I read a post from one of these subhuman primates it think people can't get any dumber. Then came 7floridaboy. he said Obamas people are the same people that killed Martin Luther King.
No Swamp Thing your people are the ones who killed Martin Luther King, John and Robert Kennedy and Jesus Christ. That is right your are a Christ killer.
don't worry Obama - America will get use to socialized medicine - Jesus didn't charge anyone for his health service for the rich or poor - We Love You Obama - us Europeans!!!
Mr President, you said that every day 123 Americans die because they lack proper health care, but your plan does not get those 32 million Americans their free Health care for 4 years. in that time you will have let 180,000 Americans DIE, if Free HC is every Americans right why are you withholding that right for 4 years? Why Mr President are you killing these people? GIVE THEM THEIR RIGHT NOW! Don't wait till after elections, let people see this mess before you get your reelection.
TheZachish, get your facts right. Obama is calling for AFFORDABLE HC. At no point has he said that HC should be free, or that America should have an NHS. All he's saying is that if all men are equal before the law, as the US Constitution says they are, then everyone should have equal access to cheap and affordable healthcare.
As a matter of fact, I believe in free healthcare. Although I am a Capitalist, I live in the UK and have seen first-hand the benefits of the NHS. God bless Obama!
@UKIndependent, Our tax dollars will be providing subsidies for those who are deemed by the (IRS?) to not be able to afford the Government approved plans. (IE free)
Also that was only a small part of the post i made if HC is a RIGHT of the people why is it going to take 4 years to give them their RIGHT? If his numbers are correct then he is going to let 180,000 Americans die before he gives them what is their RIGHT.
you my friend are using his own obama's own lies and b.s. rhetoric against him which is ..... makes you .... RACIST! that's it...you, my friend, are a racist! me and my dumb ass friends don't need to listen to your hate filled demagoguery and that's what it is because keith olbermann said so.
@theMETALDOVE, the worst part is we get taxed for 10 years and get 6 years of Obama care this is after they loot 500 billion from Medicare of course. but what about the 2nd ten years, when it will be 10years of tax for 10 years of OC, now At&t is saying it will cost them 1 billion dollars next year, and verison, caterpillar and several others around 100 million. Something tells me more layoffs are coming. Thank you Mr President, oh and the kids with Pre conditions are not covered in the bill.
These are also Obama's numbers so if he is the greatest president EVER!!!!!!! why is he allowing 180,000 Americans die over the next 4 years before he gives them what he says is their RIGHT, health insurance? Maybe because he does not want people to see the true cost and consequences of this law before he has his chance at reelection?
If this was truly about those 123 people that die every day they would get their Obama care next month at the latest.
