President Obama Tells Judas Stephanopoulos Health Insurance Mandate IS NOT Tax Increase

[se7entyse7en77]

Surprise, surprise. Obama bin Lyin' again! Another goddamn federal income tax to add on top of the other three.

[TicTocKnight]

The irony, the "this is not a tax increase" now being defended as "this is a tax increase a year later to bypass the unconstitutionality of a mandate.

WASHINGTON — When Congress required most Americans to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty, Democrats denied that they were creating a new tax. But in court, the Obama administration and its allies now defend the requirement as an exercise of the government’s “power to lay and collect taxes.”

Liar in chief

Change is needed in the insurance company and the entire health industry. Affordability will only come if there are true changes in the charges. How ridiculous is it that my provider who said I needed to get a FLU shot so my infant would not get sick could charge me 25 dollars and then turn around and CHARGE my insurance co $150 too! ABUSE is all over the place. It is time for change people

If Obama really wanted to help reduce the costs to the American families, he would reduce the size of Government to 1/10 its current size. They keep adding services "for our own good" telling us it won't cost any more, which is total BullS**t

[RagingLib]

You're a total fucking moron. Where were you when the Bush Admin oversaw the largest government expansion in history? Where were you when the GOP and Bush ran up the largest debt & deficit in history? Sitting on the couch masturbating to Rush Limbaugh most likely. You're just angry that the brown man is now in charge. Boo hoo hoo. How about keeping your pathetic hypocrisy to yourself and your local Klan rally?

[Unhealthydragon]

@RagingLib I wonder where your lust for Obama came from. I wonder where your trust in the government came from. I wonder why the only thing I ever hear is the same old regurgitated ass vomit that alllll the uneducated lefties spew about Bush and how Obama isnt AS bad. How dumb does that sound? I never heard any right winger reference Bush in an argument against Obama. We didnt like him, nobody did. PLEASE STOP USING HIM AS AN EXCUSE ITS SICKENING! And super super super old. (super old dude)

[serfdomthwart]

@RagingLib Why do you mention Bush in your reply to mjs091253 's comment? Also, why do you imply mjs091253 is a hypocrite?

[se7entyse7en77]

@RagingLib Oops! Bush oversaw the largest government expansion in history, until Obama came along. And quit your liberal racism. No one gives a shit what the color of Obama's skin is. He will succeed or fail on his policies, not on his skin color.

@RagingLib Someone doesn't live in reality. Since 2007, Democrats have added over $5 trillion to the national debt. In two years, Obama has spent $3 trillion, more than all 8 years of Bush combined. Check the US Treasury website before making such baseless claims that can be easily debunked.

[NCMan28025]

@RagingLib The moron is you. Bush and the Democrats ran up the deficit during Bush's last two years. Learn civics. Democrats controlled the House and Senate in 2007 and 2008. Nice attempt to spin the truth and love the use of the race card. I know it sucks to support the current failure sitting in the White House. By the way, the 3 record deficits are now Obama's record. Instead of RaginLib you should call yourself a dumb ass lib who fell for Obama's bullshit.

steph is biased if one looks back to the election.

Definitely. Those of us in Washington know that he is a bitter ex Dem (Clintonite) with an ax to grind. he is not a journalist. Just a soft spoken Glenn Beck. He si masquerading as someone who is a journalist. ABC needs to get rid of him and get a real Balanced journalist with no political baggage. I will no longer watch ABC News
