Obama Praises Health Reform Passage

[couter2000]

Now Americans this doesn't mean you can eat more McDonald's, moderation is the key.

[NaraNobu]

its a bit better... not great at all but slightly better

[lerxt42]

republicans..i fart in your general direction..i wave my private parts at you...

[DinkiDidog]

I'm not saying that this is the answer... I wait skeptically like everyone else.

[DinkiDidog]

There has been a huge "desparity" between the have and have nots. The gap has been widening throughout the "Bush Administration". The people have had enough of the corporate greed and manipulations of loop-holes.

[nandansho]

President Obama is MY PREZ YO!

[ofcourseisaidthat]

I don't know. Fining Americans that don't sign up for health insurance? Sounds like slavery to me.

[ladyantelum]

thats my president

[truchrishill]

I like it, republicans just cant stand it that people are getting helped, instead of protecting corporate america.

Ive paid into Health Insurance for years, and when i finally needed to claim on it, i got the boot and the bill.

THIS IS A WIN FOR AMERICA, and anyone quack enough to believe otherwise needs a reup on their education for a few years.

[SolaceSoleil]

"victory of common sense" yea that is a first step for democracy

[k77922216]

Thank You

[whateveryou8]

a great day for USA

[matshadwhite]

what about me i dont smoke and exercise frequently am in great shape due to my knowledge of what is good for the human body. i havent been to the doctor in many years, why do i have to pay for someone elses lung cancer due to cigarettes. i dont need health care and would rather buy more food then gamble with the fact that i have a 1 in 1000000 chance of getting some serious illness that i may need a doctor.when the odds arent on my side i fold. try and get me to buy it and ill take you to court.

A GOOD START

[Maziyar]

next up.

legalizing illegal aliens.

12 million more people being paid by the taxpayer.

at this rate the middle class will stop existing.

either your rich or you are poor.

[Sp0ilTheFun]

Most illegals pay taxes. douche.

[blankone87]

congrats America. Healthcare should be priority to every country, it was embarrassing to say that the wolds most powerful country didn't provide healthcare to all its citizens. I don't understand why republicans opposed it, its so inhumane. Maybe because its another priority to worry and spend their money on that will meddle in their war and political interests. Keep it up America.

[thairuwc]

Thank you Mr. President.

As a hard working middle income labourer, I know now that my kids future is much more secure.!!!

Berry, your AWSOME MY LEADER

[oneshotkill27]

your very confused

[tfwarlord]

i didn't expect you to pull it off, but you did :). Good for you.

Changes like these are good, not only for America but for the world, because in the end, we all are family.

[CapitanoGUC]

@tfwarlord hehehehehe - but in the rest of the world thes same changes have been done a hundert years ago ....:-)

[mauikayak]

tonight- i am finally more than a "preexisting condition"

[shrgnatlas]

Cite the fine print. Cite it. Really. Go do it. Until you can, I'll continue to believe you are a partisan quack who continues to spit up the ignorant and misinformed punditry that a small portion of the nation has started to eat up.

So, go ahead. I'll check my e-mail every so often to see if you ever get back to me. I bet you won't. If you do, it'll probably be a retort off-topic, most likely containing tireless name calling.

Good luck.

[kevin120857]

@shrgnatlas Hey, go jump into a plane and fly it into a building. You'll feel a lot better about yourself.

[ashconnor]

Well I live in capitalist UK and we have Universal Healthcare.

[thecolorunknown]

Be quiet you nazi.

[jiminiflix]

@thecolorunknown  I am not the nazi- you may find the man you admire in the president walks more closely alongside nazi beliefs. His "admirable" health care is nothin but another scam for the benefit of the insurance companies that backed him into presidency.

[Fugumble]

One of the more idiotic things I've read this week. It's clear that you have no idea what a Nazi was.

[slaws24]

thank you Fugumble for posting this. you are a gentlemen

[Fugumble]

No problem!

[Jasonssj]

what a good actor

[Jasonssj]

Ron Paul !!!!!!!!

[McSpacerson]

A waterloo is coming alright, this November when the American people see they are BETTER off because of this law, and Armageddon didn't happen, nor any of the bullshit fear tactics from the Republitards.

Guess which DO NOTHING party is going to be an insignificant speck in the U.S Congress come November?

[flashflores]

This just makes me all warm inside.

[lamrof]

Obama for 3rd term.

[charles0111]

thank God those republicans finally gave up hahah. good job democrats and kudos to Obama.

[thejock1313]

Gave up? 0 republican votes. Defiant to the bitter end is more like it.

[Lysogenlc]

@charles0111 there were 0 republican votes for the bill. the repubs didn't give up. They did NOT give up.

[kevin120857]

@Lysogenlc No, they never participated. Instead of participating, they bet their whole strategy on defeating Obama. And the lost. They lost everything. They quit by never participating. They quit by losing their dignity in defeat. The are the party that spreads racial hate speech. And in this case, the truly "bad people," lost.

[Lysogenlc]

@kevin120857 lolwat? I was replying to charles0111. He suggested that the repubs gave into the insurance reform bill. They didnt give up. The dems would have stuffed so much pork in the bill if any repubs would have expressed the idea of voting yes, but they held their ground to the very end.

And to classify those senators as pure unadulterated evil is a substantial claim. Have any evidence other than the fact that your way is the right way? Sounds a bit like their tactics, doesnt it? ;]

[summerfunteam]

@Lysogenlc depends on how you look at the situation

[Lysogenlc]

@summerfunteam I responded to two issues in my last post. What are you responding to?

[summerfunteam]

@Lysogenlc that repubs never gave up. An argument can be made that they gave up a long time ago

[Lysogenlc]

@summerfunteam Zero votes for the healthcare bill says otherwise. In the conventional sense, they didn't give in. In the figurative sense, you can make the argument that everyone/thing has given up to an extent. I'm not interested in arguing the latter.

[summerfunteam]

@Lysogenlc lol, k

[bornbillsmith]

Only time will tell.

I don't think this will work. but I hope it does.

I am ready to accept it if it works but if it doesn't

we have to know if we can go back.

[Jasonssj]

your income tax just went up 2.5% with 22% unemployment!!!!!!! The great depessions unemployment was 24 %

[ednan9]
