Loyal Obama supporters, canceled by Obamacare

Loyal Obama supporters, canceled by Obamacare. Touching story of Obama loyalists who find themselves getting screwed by Obamacare (by “touching” we mean taking one’s finger and touching the back of one’s throat until one… you know.) Typical modern liberals – generous to a fault with other people’s money but they scream like David Gregory caught with an illegal magazine when those “other people” turn out to be them.

  • Just heard it out of the corner of my ear from the other room, Obam-me's latest

    "I,I,I,I,I,I,I, 'got burned' by Obamacare Website That Didn’t Work"

    Obam-I?

  • The priceless moment when privileged libtards droning on about White christian males being privileged are starting to find out their own privilege is going down the drain… -D

    • The problem is too many don't understand that American citizenship is a privilege, & these are the folks doing their best to destroy what makes this nation great.

  • (by “touching” I mean taking a giant elephant dildo and shoving it up their butt until they're bleeding out their ears … you know -- just do it gently so they don't notice.)

    I think it's GREAT they lost their insurance coverage. Hopefully they'll all come experience serious and painful health issues leaving them covered with skin infections and boils. For all the blacks who continue to back that community organizer, I would love to see ALL of them be infected with a skin bacteria that was transmitted sexually, but left them with WHITE splotches covering their bodies from head to toe....and of course, the requisite boils.

    • You might back off the black rhetoric a bit here. More white people voted for him than black people. Maybe we could could wish that skin disease on all that support him and leave race out of it?

      • You are right MGAP. If it wasn't for white voters Obama wouldn't have been President. Let's remind ourselves that the Black vote may have been high in the 90's but the population are around 13-15% of the entire country.

        I think that this guy needs to leave here if he is going to do this shit. Fair minded Conservatives don't need nor want racists nor extremely racial people in our midst making us look bad and being used by the likes of the trolls to point out the racism of all of us which doesn't exist.

      • I agree with MGAP, Muhammad. The racial epithets don't sell your posts here and we have quite a few patrons of "color" who post here as well and we're glad to have them. This isn't a racist venue here, it's political and sometimes social. Please have a nice day.

  • A man goes into the hospital for a vasectomy. Before the procedure a very attractive nurse comes in and takes his vitals, then tells him to take all of his clothes off.

    When he is fully undressed she instructs him to lie down on the table. The man obeys. The nurse then takes all of her clothes off and climbs on top and has her way with him.

    Upon the completion of the act the man catches his breath and asks what that was all about. The nurse informs the patient that studies have shown that before a vasectomy if the man has an orgasim, he will be more relaxed and that the cord is easier for the surgeon to locate and sever, thereby making the surgery safer, more efficient and quicker.

    The nurse then wheels the patient to the operating room.

    While they are going down the hall the patient looks through a window to the right and sees six men in a room masturbating.

    Curious, the man asks," What are they doing in there"?

    The nurse responds, " They're preparing for vasectomies too, but you have Blue Cross, and they have Obama Care."

  • LOL! I posted the link from the OP on the Top Hospitals Opt Out Of Obamacare thread and the Oblivious one took the bait! She went into a long-winded screed on how it was an opinion piece on a right wing website. I smacked her down with this:

    BULLSHIT! Propublica is a PROGRESSIVE website.

    How It Is Funded

    The Sandler Foundation made a major, multi-year commitment to fund ProPublica at launch. Other philanthropic contributions have been received as well, and more are needed.

    Sandler Foundation’s mission is to “be a catalyst to strengthen the progressive infrastructure, expose corruption and abuse, advocate for vulnerable and exploited people and environments, and advance scientific research in neglected areas”.[3]

    • Finally, someone else gets it...

      Born in 1931, Herbert M. Sandler grew up on the Lower East Side of New York. During the 1950s, he became assistant counsel to the Waterfront Commission, combating crime in the port of New York and New Jersey. Marion Sandler, two years Herbert’s senior, was born Marion Osher in Biddeford, Maine. She received her BA from Wellesley College and her MBA from New York University.

      In 1963, two years after marrying, the couple moved to California and opened the Golden West Financial Corporation. With their new holding company, the Sandlers were able to secure bank loans plus additional funds from Marion’s family to purchase, for $3.8 million, the Oakland-based Golden West Savings and Loan, which had assets of $38 million.

      In 1975 the Sandlers combined Golden West S&L with another California firm, World Savings, which had 107 offices and $1.8 billion in assets. Taking advantage of regulations passed in 1981, the Sandlers’ World Savings Bank steadily grew, specializing in the first-of-their-kind adjustable rate mortgages that allowed borrowers to defer paying their interest.

      By 2000, the World Savings Bank -- with 450 locations and assets of $58 billion -- had become the second largest savings and loan in America. On July 19, 2001, Nancy Pelosi inducted the Sandlers into the Bay Area Business Hall of Fame for their “longstanding entrepreneurial and philanthropic commitment to the San Francisco community.”

      In 1988 the Sandlers had established the Sandler Family Supporting Foundation (SF), whose assets, by 2002, totaled $71,894,602. In its first 15 years of operation, SF gave tens of millions of dollars to Human Rights Watch and the ACLU. By 2000, the Sanders had become philanthropic allies of George Soros. Together with Soros, they funded MoveOn.org and helped to establish the Center for American Progress, on whose board of directors Marion served. In 2004, along with Soros and Peter Lewis, the Sandlers created America Votes in order to bolster Democratic get-out-the-vote drives during the 2004 election season. In 2006, the Sandlers also founded and financed Pro Publica, an investigative journalism outfit.

      The Sandlers have had noteworthy connections to ACORN and the Center for Responsible Lending (CRL), an ACORN ally that championed the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) before the financial meltdown of 2008. In 2002 the Sandlers co-founded CRL and gave it $20 million over the next six years. From 2001 to 2008, the Sandler Family Foundation also gave ACORN and its various front groups -- particularly Project Vote and the American Institute for Social Justice -- more than $7 million. Former ACORN employees have claimed that the Sandlers paid ACORN to dispatch protesters to harass Wells Fargo Bank, a major competitor of the Sandlers' Golden West.

      In contrast to their allies George Soros and Peter Lewis, the Sandlers were able to maintain a low public profile for years. They made headlines in October 2006, however, when they sold their World Savings Bank for $24.3 billion to the Wachovia Corporation, pocketing $2.4 billion and putting $1.4 billion into their foundation, making it one of the thirty largest foundations in the America.

      At the time of the sale, the Sandlers’ World Savings Bank carried $122 billion in adjustable rate mortgages. In 2008, Wachovia began to implode due to a lack of liquidity and was eventually bought out by Wells Fargo in October of that year. Many analysts contend that the “soaring portfolio of World Savings” helped to sink Wachovia. Herbert Sandler, however, has defended his business practices: “I didn’t mislead anybody, and to the best of my knowledge, our company didn’t, though there may have been an isolated case here and there.” “If home prices hadn’t declined by 50 percent, nobody would be raising these questions,” he stated in 2008.

      On October 4, 2008, however, Saturday Night Live aired a skit in which the Sandlers were depicted as predatory lenders. Under their names, SNL placed the caption “people who should be shot.” Compounding the Sandlers’ negative press was a Time magazine list that identified them as two of the “25 people to blame for the financial crisis.” The New York Times also labeled the Sandlers “pariahs” – and on December 24, 2008, the Times reported that their mortgages were the “Typhoid Mary” of the housing crisis. On February 15, 2009, CBS’s 60 minutes also aired a segment that featured the Sandlers’ World Savings Bank as one of the primary examples of how the mortgage industry had destroyed itself and unleashed an economic collapse.

      On April 22, 2009, the Sandlers wrote a letter to Bill Keller of the New York Times, criticizing the paper’s news coverage of them. The Sandlers defended the adjustable rate mortgages that had defined their financial success, distinguishing between those which their bank had offered consumers and the kind that had caused so much economic disaster. While issuing some corrections, the Times defended its original reporting: “We still stand by our Golden West story and believe it was a very strong piece to pursue and that we framed it fairly.”

      On April 26, 2010, the Sandlers also wrote to CBS in an attempt to discredit the 2009 60 minutes episode that had so damaged their reputation. CBS did not issue any correction.

      ...they can as far as I'm concerned.

  • If you haven't read the link, this post in the comment section FTA says it all:

    Shorter version: He lied to our face. But we still support him. Now, how can we get other people to pay us a subsidy?

  • They were all for it, because the liberal parasites thought it was going to be free. Well guess what, pay up.
