• Oh shut up you fathead!

  • I give him the two finger salute whenever I see or hear him. It's totally involuntary.

• Typical BO; blame the victim.

  • Yeah, how dare the plant manager not shop for insurance correctly! I would like to say I can not believe the audacity of this admin, but I would be lying.

• The mill can expect the EPA to show up to inspect the facility. The manager should expect to hear from the IRS, FBI and maybe the secret service. If they aren't too busy playing tag on the WH lawn.

  President Putter had the gall to ask this man how they were shopping for health insurance. His answer should've been "we are using your affordable care act" as the model.

• It would've been better for him to have said , " The reason why the cost are rising , is because of Global Warming ".

  Then his worshipers could have thought , rising cost ARE GOOD !!!!

• The Federal Budget is measured in trillions of dollars annually. Over the course of the next 10 years, because of the benefits of the ACA, we are expected to save $188 billion in reduced costs. Think of it this way: that is saving 1.45 cents savings per dollar spent each year out of the Federal Budget.

• It's amazing what he can pull out of his ass when there is no teleprompter.

  • I was thinking something similar. It's painful to watch him have to answer an off the cuff question. He is obviously making shit up as he goes along. He's just throwing out numbers like he actually knows what he's talking about, which he obviously doesn't. The crap about insurance going up by $1800 less than we thought it would, being like an $1800 tax cut, almost made me puke! Insurance was supposed to go down under his plan, not go up less! And he's acting like it's a success!

• That was a pretty softball question.... There has to be a follow up on what kind of deal they get- and then someone needs to look at the 'deal' they get and find out how the insurer is getting a kick back from the govt to make it look like ACA is actually working.

  Only Obama would talk about a 'tax cut' as money that never was... Does this mean that all the legislation that he passes that increases costs are tax increases? Hello CAFE standards driving up car prices. Energy subsidies as a 'tax' on all of us.

• ....didn't watch the video, I just can't stand that fu#king POS any longer.

• When security screening by the secret service go bad. Guess even they have their limits when it comes to liars.

• I understand the IRS was waiting for the manager after this photo op by President lady pants..I heard they wanted to audit him for the past 50 years....

  • I hear you're going to be audited for that comment.

    • It happened years ago, they ended up owing me $5000 dollars....bring it on..I will have the IRS employee in tears....
