President Obama Gives Speech After Historic Healthcare Victory

[jsgdk]

You guys should have used money on setting up a non-profit healthcare financing system

like we have in the rest of the civilized world.

Instead of giving the money to the Banksters.

[Ergodyne187]

We are being FORCED TO BUY HEALTH INSURANCE. Do some of you not see the problem with this?

[vmkSAVAGEGUY]

he's taking a Fucking Wrecking ball to America!

even more so than that Bastard Bush did!

now in November we Conservatives gotta clean house

on both sides Republicrats and Democans!

throw the Fucking bums out on both sides!

FUCK THIS MARXIST PIECE OF SHIT!

>:/

[OBAMAisHalfCaste]

Obama the first half-caste biracial mixed-race president not black

[aragornsargonath]

One thing to say about this speech...BULLSHIT

[arvydas0069]

I already have free Healthcare...what's in it for me?

[skorpion47]

Does this mean that no longer is health insurance sold through Health Insurance firms and instead now is mandated from the gov't itself? I'm not a citizen don't criticize me..

[aaron4801]

100 billion dollars in 10 years??? that's literally nothing.

WERE IN DEBT BY 7 TRILLION!

[aaron4801]

He said I made it possible? I aint done shit...Why would I want this corruption? And to go to jail for not being able to afford this bullshit.

[aaron4801]

YESSS! FEED ME MORE BULLSHIT!

[jackpalance2000]

Thank you Mr. President!

[Foghat43]

ROBERT this is not a new concept. Haven't you noticed that there are laws already in place that require people to have other kinds of insurance such as auto or home owners insurance? Ya know why? Because it protects us all and it is in our best interest in the long run that everyone be insured! It SAVES US MONEY ! We end up paying for the uninsured one way or another. Why are you so backwards on this?

[greenthumbguy1]

The next step is the public option.

[greenthumbguy1]

@magicspoonz Quit shooting up the stuff in your magic spoon.

[Justice4all311]

what about the senate votes?

[sakurasanmon]

500 people voted. I guess that's the entire nation doing something.

[LittleRockElevators]

Thank you Mr. President for getting this health care bill passed. I know that Rush and the rest of Fox News Stooges are crying like babies now.

[kayhadinajo]

Youhouuuuuuuuu, Vive Obama, YES WE CAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNN, OUIIIII NOUS POUVONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[az10101010]

stillcracking- if the federal government tries to control Vitro Diagnostics- that company will go out of business.. only free-market competition is what has made america great..

[stillcracking]

@az10101010

If Vitro Diagnostics can perfect a cure for diabetes, they may

well control a sizable piece of the federal government;

much as the insurance companies do now.

Whatever happens,I'm still gonna buy some shares of Vitro Diagnostics,

and some other stem cell companies. I don't want to miss the next microsoft.

[az10101010]

communists always go against the majority of the people.. all the big important poll averages show this communist congress has the lowest rating in american history..

[greenthumbguy1]

@az10101010 Stop with the "the commies are coming!!" crap. During the campaign Obama, and the democrats who ran on his coat tails, spent a whole year telling the people what he wanted to do. The people voted for them, and they did what they said they would do. That's not communism, that's democracy. They're going to kill us if we don't do what they say?!?! You're insane.

[az10101010]

greenthumbgbuy1- i also voted for obama because i didn't want mccain and because obama said he was not going to be like his foreign born socialist father.. but he obviously lied and that's why he and the congress have an all-time low approval rating.. as for communst- the most famous communist of all time said communism is only socialism on the march.. it is what it is.. call it anything you want..

[treefrog52881]

@az10101010 You voted for Obama because apparently you are a dumbass who doesn't know how to read, didn't pay attention to a single Obama speech, and couldn't be bothered to watch a single debate. One of his MAIN platforms was a Universal Health Care system. Hell, he essentially threw that out the window just to get this reform through so that we could make at least ONE step forward despite the Republican stance of "NO" on everything to try and keep him from making good on his platforms.

[treefrog52881]

@az10101010 Since you are the dummy that clearly paid NO ATTENTION at any time during the election- you deserve having helped elect the wrong person. Idiot. Thank God for someone in the damned gov't looking out for our best interests instead of lining their pockets and campaign coffers. Our family is military so we have insurance, but there are too many without it.

[rebjiii]

What is the best part of this health care reform bill ?

A) affordable health insurance coverage for 32,000,000 Americans

B) eliminating pre-existing conditions

C) shoving the bill down the throats of racist conservatives.....who have been duped (by Beck) into believing there will now be DEATH PANELS, free coverage for illegal aliens and the federal funding of abortions.

[Ferrarix55]

. I agree that under insurance companies it sucked, but this isnt the answer. So yeah as long as obama doesnt lose to someone like palin Im happy but Im sure hell be through after this one.

[az10101010]

communists can force people to do anything they don't want to do because that's what communists do.. and ultimately

they will kill you if you don't do what they say.. don't we all know this?

[Ferrarix55]

@Hazmat347

haha call me what you want, but just because I don't support this bill doesn't mean im a "tea bagger." I personally hate both major parties and think they're both wrong, hated bush and hate obama. you can't force people to buy something they don't want. And you like it now because obama is in power, wait until a president is elected who doesn't support this. It's gonna go downhill, big government is dangerous

[dadreamzworld]

The same thing I've been saying every since people have been complaining saying Obama was only talk, CHANGE STARTS FROM THE BOTTOM UP! THE SAME WAY ALL PLANTS GROW FROM THE BOTTOM UP!

[EscpdFrmPsykward]

This could have been passed sooner if Obama and the Dems had just told the Repuglicans to go fuck themselves months ago before they watered down the bill for an R vote they never got. Maybe we'd still have the public option right now. I hope the fight for the public option isn't over, but don't expect to see Obama campaigning for it. I'll bet he supports it, but you won't hear him support it openly... At least until Congress passes it.

[evil9MMPEARLGRIP]

i realy hate republicans

[Keirnoth]

Hey Fixed, can you ban this az101010 asshole and remove all his comments? He's spamming up the comments thread with his Faux News bullshit, and it's a chore to downvote every single one of his dittohead-themed comments.

[FixedNewsChannel]

Done. Thanks for keeping an eye out for the trolls.

[chibi45]

No thats the GOP who is doing that!

[Francebrasil]

@TheStranglehold

And these are Insurance ministers??

You really are an ignorant clown!!!!

[mrwarped]

Republicans, Teabaggers, Fix news sheep = EAT IT

[lamrof]

Hell Yeahaaaaaaa Mr President. Health care passed.

Obama for 3rd term.

[ZachValkyrie]

Yay! Now that that's out of the way we can actually get stuff done now!

[phantomspellchecker]

A government by the people, for the people? OMG THAT'S SOCIALISM!

JK, happiest day of 2010! YES WE CAN!

[musicgeniusno1]

Excellent! :)

[Francebrasil]

What are the names of the Insurance ministers in Switzerland,Japan, France, Germany, England, Holland, and other socialist countries? Let's hear their names !!!!!!

[ericaj58]

lol love it!

[beeshor1]

@az101010 You're a joke! I'm done wasting time with you. I hope your brain starts functioning one day.

[beeshor1]

@az101010 McCarthy never hunted anything. He made a fool of himself and helped to make a lot of innocent people's lives miserable because of idiots like you who believed him. Sort of like Glenn Beck today. It's amazing that no matter how many times we've been through this nonsense, it's always a few suckers like you who eat it up. Pathetic.

[beeshor1]

@az101010 YOU'RE the fraud. You and the rest of the teabaggers. Enjoy your punch-line status. Maybe you can serve a purpose like comic-fodder for the late-night comedians. We can use a good laugh!

[beeshor1]

@az101010 Umm, they were. How does that make them pro-socialist or anti-capitalist? You're a big liar, aren't you? I see that you can't seem to open your mouth without a lie leaving your lips. The flaw has obviously affected your typing as well. Pitiful. LOL!

[az101010]

McCarthy hunted socialists in our society and exposed them- but they have exposed themselves these days.. and now they even got into the government and look at their rating.. lowest in american history.. and they are trying to force through stuff before they go down in flames.. lol

[beeshor1]

@az101010 McCarthy was censured and left Congress in shame. He went down in history as a joke. It's SOOOO appropriate that people like you now hold him up as a hero. You'll be remembered as a joke in history too. All of the teabaggers will be a punch-line in the history books LOL!

[beeshor1]

@az101010 It's pathetic how you're basically the only one posting these anti-Obama comments here. You've even alluded to a fondness for McCarthy! You're a total loser! HAHAHAHA!

[beeshor1]

@az101010 Liar! Liar! Now you're trying to ignore the link. LOL! That's usually what happens when you lying ass conservatives are shown for what you really are. HAHAHAHAHA! You knew all along that you were full of shit but now everybody else knows too. Congrats!

[beeshor1]

@az101010 It's right there in that article. Are you trying to tell me that you don't see it? And on a separate note, who in the hell says that Politics Daily is pro-socialist and anti-capitalist? You're just making shit up now but forget that. The WSJ is surely not a left leaning media outlet. It links in that article from Politics Daily. Now, you're looking pretty pathetic. That's typical for a conservative. LOL!

[beeshor1]

@az101010 @az101010 I'm not talking about what Politics Daily says. That's irrelevant. I'm talking about the link to the WSJ-NBC News poll. You said you wanted to see the poll itself. I'm showing it to you. Just go to the spot in the article that links to the poll. Disregard everything else. That's fair and factual. Just like we libs always are. If you refuse this, then it just shows that you're not interested in the facts, you're only interested in your right-wing spin.

[Scarfie20]

Fantastic

[beeshor1]

@az101010

I have produced it. All you need to do is google the words I said. It's a link right in that article. Just do it. You'll see.

[az101010]

why would i go searching for something i know is not there? lol

Liberals cannot state one fact. lol

[beeshor1]

@az101010

I just sent you another link. It goes straight to the article that has the link to the pdf poll from the WSJ. I'm doing all the work for you. If you're too lazy to check it, don't call me a liar. I'll call you lazy or just plain scared to be proven wrong. It doesn't matter because anyone who reads this who is really interested in finding out who was right will see that I am. You fail. Congrats.

[beeshor1]

@az101010 In fact, it's question number 25 on the poll sheet. Have you seen it yet?

[beeshor1]

@az101010

The Wall Street Journal isn't liberal. You are clearly only interested in right-wing sources.

[beeshor1]

@az101010

We were talking about the WSJ-NBC News poll. That poll is biased. Rasmussen is owned by Matt Drudge, a conservative. You said that the WSJ poll was something different from what it actually was. Do you concede that you were wrong? Now you seem interested in directing me to a right-leaning pollster. I picked a neutral source. It's much more accurate.

[beeshor1]

@az101010

I haven't lied about anything. Just check the link. It's right there. If you can check it [which I know you can] you'll see that the poll is right there. It backs up EVERYTHING that was reported on the HuffPost and what I posted here. In fact, it REFUTES your claim that the people are mad at dems only. So YOU'RE the liar.

[beeshor1]

@az101010

Just google the words "Democrats Dilemma: Health Care vote and the enthusiam gap". If you do that, you'll get an article that has a direct link to the WSJ-NBC poll results. Once you get there, you'll find that it's in pdf format. About 3/4 of the way down the page is the info you're looking for. It backs up everything I said direct from the source, WSJ-NBC News.

[beeshor1]

@az101010

I have the link directly to the WSJ-NBC News poll. I'll send it to you in a PM.

[beeshor1]

@az101010

I sent you the link in a PM. If you can't work it, just google the words "American public divided on healthcare reform". You'll see the results of the poll for sure that way.

[Rickardius]

It's nice to see some progress, finally.

Well wishes from Sweden.

[beeshor1]

It amazes me how right-wing idiots can find the nerve to call liberals liars while they themselves are lying with both rows of their teeth! This guy is on this clip lying about how the polls show that the American people are solidly against the Democrats when the polls show that people are against BOTH parties EQUALLY. There is no great hatred for Dems. At least not anymore so than it is for Repubs. He lies to paint a favorable picture of his views and yet he calls liberals liars. Pathetic.

[beeshor1]

@az101010

I sent you the link in a PM. Did you get it?

[beeshor1]

@az101010

Hey, Einstein, it's already passed. All Obama has to do is sign it and it's law.

[beeshor1]

@az101010

You're lying. I just told you that the latest WSJ-NBC news poll showed an even split on reform. Why do you insist on lying?

[beeshor1]

@az101010

You're wrong. As of 03/17/10 the polls were just as I stated. I can send you a link if you wish.

[Garlannd]

Health Choice Czar get it right.

[beeshor1]

The latest Wall Street Journal-NBC News poll done before the passage of the bill showed that 46% were in favor while 45% were against. That's an even split. Now that the bill has passed and people will notice that the sky hasn't fallen, it's likely that the bill will see a hike in favorability. Exciting days lay ahead for my country. I am truly proud of what our government has done tonight.

[beeshor1]

Finally. After all of the republican lies we now have a start at reforming this mess of a healthcare system. This is likely going to play very well politically for Democrats and Obama. It's a time for celebration. Let the parties begin!

[Ferrarix55]

He better enjoy giving these speeches cause hes DONE after this term

[Hazmat347]

@Ferrarix55

[tarkineWild]

Cuppa tea anyone

[tarkineWild]

At least this bill is a step in the right direction and for all its faults,which there are plenty, it sets in stone, this Presidents attempt to reform a sick system, something past Presidents have failed or not wanted to do Hopefully he'll have the courage to go further because this current bill only does so much .

[TenRoc382k9]

ok Rush it passed so get the fuck out of my country NOW!!!!! LMAO

[Hazmat347]

@TenRoc382k9

Unfortunately Costa Rica has government run health care. He is better off in Iraq or North Korea.

Congrats President Obama! After 100 years of backward thinking, plus 1 year of more backward thinking, you really did it!

As u say, Mr. President: THIS IS WHAT CHANGE LOOKS LIKE!

Congratulations to all Americans. :-)
