This is fascinating to me... take 5 minutes and try to objectively parse Øbama's comments sentence by sentence.
One line from the middle... as an example, try to do it line by line and see where you end up;
"Obama also cited the scrutiny of the law by news organizations as evidence of the law’s transparency."

It would be a startling level of dishonesty if it was anyone other than Obama. For him it's just another day.

Excerpt....
Gruber’s bragging – and, incidentally baring his decrepit, rotten soul about how he helped to push through the intentionally deceitful ACA – serves as an overture to an assessment of Obama’s own soul. Let us count the ways Obama has been spared – nay, let off the hook – by contemporary assessments of his character, his motives, and his means and ends. He has been called these things, even by his own supporters, by critics hesitant to pass the final judgment on him:
Short-sighted, clueless, wrong-headed, dumb, inexperienced, ineffectively pragmatic, delusional, negligent, an impotent moral relativist, out-maneuvered by pros, reckless, feckless, prodigal, failed, a narcissist, cold, glib, out of touch, opaque, grasping, dismissive, a well-intentioned idealist, amateurish, distracted, tactless, fumbling, incompetent, arrogant, misunderstood, more sinned against than sinning, ham-fisted, heartless, indelicate, manipulative, manipulated, fraud, Putin’s poodle, China’s patsy, racist, lackadaisical, Anglophobic, power-luster, veteran of verisimilitude, doyen of dissimilation, abusive, self-defeating, self-wounding ….
You left out booger-face...
Damn!!! Have to add it to the list.
obamacare is just a small drop in a huge swimming pool of corruption and fleecing the American Tax Payers!

My question is, what is all this doing in a budget in the first place?
That would be a good start. There's plenty more where that came from.
My question is, what is all this doing in a budget in the first place?
Have you heard of Democrats?
One thing they left out was to eliminate the EPA and the Cowboy Poetry Festival.
It's time to flush the whole bunch out into the Anacostia River. I for one am not a stupid voter, it didn't take much research and looking into quagmires past and associates to know that he was a fraud and would destroy this country as it is known given the chance. Its' time to call BULL SHIT and stop every last thing he attempts to do. Send bills to him and force a veto, then turn around and have veto over ride votes. Put the dim wits further back on the heels and force them to defend their Anti American positions and views.
You're talking as if the Republicans have a spine. I think McConnel's new position proves that's not true.
He may not. There others in the Senate who do and will force his crusty old ass to act like the leader of the majority. Sessions, Cruz and Paul are three that come to mind.
We can hope.
The liberals desire to destroy the best medical system in the world should be a warning to all. Their path of destruction is there for everyone to see and yet so few do see it or care about it.
Gruber is right…..there’s a lot of stupid people out there.
It has become the American way of life.
I want it and I want it now.
We can't afford it.
Well, charge it and we'll figure it out later.
Same goes for govt programs. A vast majority of our citizens believe that our country has a pile of money stashed in Fort Knox. Congress just goes in with a requisition form and drives out with a dump truck full of cash to pay for stuff. They also feel that it's the right of all Americans to get the stuff paid for by the govt. from that pile of money.
Yup, lots of stupid people out there.
The entire administration is stupid......and liars, and needs to be flushed.

No, executed mob style.
The lying liars use their own lies to support their lies! It's Catch 22!
