  • I can't believe it. I just can't believe it. Obama promised this would give me a raise. He promised my premiums would go down $2500.00 a year. But I just found out my premiums are going up. Surely this must be a mistake. It cannot be that Obama lied to me. It just can't be.

    In all seriousness though. I really did recently find out that my premiums are going up. Thanks Obamacare!

      • I am shocked and dismayed. Obama told me my premiums were going to go down, and then they went up! How is this possible? It can't be that he lied. He is the most honest, transparent President ever. He must not have known. That is it. He didn't know. Because like nobody could have known. And all those people that said premiums would go up and people would be kicked off their insurance, well they didn't really know either. It is just a coincidence that the very thing they said would happen did. Just like it is a coincidence that the thing Obama says will happen is the opposite of what really does.

  • Nope. In fact, my job was eliminated. I received the notice @ 08:00 on Oct 4.
    Was unceremoniously given the boot after 15 yrs. and in the middle of one of the biggest most lucrative projects in years.

      • poppajoe, that's only part of it. I was told later that it is a big part of it though. Privately owned company with over 600 employees, nepotism is rampant and harmful. I left on good terms with them and I would probably work for them again, on my terms.

        It's possible that I could start a company and have considered it, but I've seen the hell you have to go through for that. A close friend did that and is just about fed up with the government B.S.

        Kip Hooker, thanks, but I'll be fine. It's just another part of life and sometimes life is not kind. It's not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last.

        • You didn't sign a non-compete, did you?
          At least that way you have a chance to find another job doing the same thing.
          My stepson signed a non-compete at his last job, got laid off, and was told he couldn't work in the same field for 2 years! Luckily for him, the owner of the business died, and the non-compete is no longer valid.

          • Yes I did, but this is a VERY specialized product and there are only two competitors. Neither of which are anywhere near me. I don't get to concerned about those agreements. My wife has maneuvered around two in the last 15 yrs. Most of them are limited to direct competitors who would hire you for the EXACT same position.

    • Because Obamacare would bankrupt the company?
      Sorry to hear of your misfortune Floyd, is there any chance you could start your own business doing what you did for this last employer?

  • Obama has never told the truth in public. NEVER.

    Every campaign promise he made was a lie and in fact he did not just fulfill his promises he actively went against them.

    • That's not true. I often have to remind people of the ONE time he told the truth. It was when he said that, under his policies, energy prices would skyrocket. I think he just slipped on that one, let the truth out. Didn't stop the low-fo morons from voting for him, though.

    • He forgot to read the teleprompter, it really said Obamacare premiums are 3000% HIGHER than any other available insurance plan.

  • Granted the guy sounds like a complete idiot. But giving him the benefit of the doubt, I think he full well understands the incomprehensible stupidity of a large number of the masses. He could feed his minions a shit sandwich, tell them it is ice cream, and they would be swooning about how delicious it is.

  • The Moron-in-Chief remarked this morning that the deficit was going down by record numbers too. My step mother spit her coffee out at that one.

  • I love the fact that he was heckled! Of course they'll blame it on Tea Party racists or BUSH! But you KNOW it was probably a former supporter whose premiums have sky-rocketed. You notice everyone behind him is whiter than Casper, but for one, lone guy?

    • You notice everyone behind him is whiter than Casper, but for one, lone guy?

      That isn't a coincidence either. Those people are picked, placed and even given a costume to wear. Makes me sick, but I've actually seen the process in person when Bumbles came to town a while back.
