A List Of 23 Famous Obama Quotes That Turned Out To Be Broken Promises Or Cold-Hearted Lies By Michael Snyder, on November 18th, 2013

#1 ?If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. If you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan. Period. No one will take it away. No matter what.?

#2 ?My administration is committed to creating an unprecedented level of openness in government.?

#3 ?We agree on reforms that will finally reduce the costs of health care. Families will save on their premiums??

#4 ?I don?t want to pit Red America against Blue America. I want to be the president
 of the United States of America.?

#5 ?We?ve got shovel-ready projects all across the country that governors and mayors are pleading to fund. And the minute we can get those investments to the state level, jobs are going to be created.?

#6 ?And we will pursue the housing plan I?m outlining today. And through this plan, we will help between 7 and 9 million families restructure or refinance their mortgages so they can afford?avoid foreclosure.?

#7 ?I will sign a universal health-care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family?s premium by up to $2,500 a year.?

#8 ?We reject the use of national security letters to spy on citizens who are not suspected of a crime.?

#9 ?For people with insurance, the only impact of the health-care law is that their insurance is stronger, better, and more secure than it was before. Full stop. That?s it. They don?t have to worry about anything else.?

#14 ?We reject sweeping claims of ?inherent? presidential power.?

#15 ?Will eliminate all income taxation of seniors making less than $50,000 per year. This will eliminate taxes for 7 million seniors ? saving them an average of $1,400 a year? and will also mean that 27 million seniors will not need to file an income tax return at all.?

#16 ?We support constitutional protections and judicial oversight on any surveillance program involving Americans.?

#17 ?If we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do. I will get our troops home, we will end this war. You can take that to the bank.?

#18 ?Will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.?

#19 ?The President does not have power under the Constitution to unilaterally authorize a military attack in a situation that does not involve stopping an actual or imminent threat to the nation.?

#20 ?We have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division and conflict and cynicism?. That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, ?Not this time?.??

#21 ?We?ve got to spend some money now to pull us out of this recession. But as soon as we?re out of this recession, we?ve got to get serious about starting to live within our means, instead of leaving debt for our children and our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren.?

#22 ?[T]oday I?m pledging to cut the deficit we inherited in half by the end of my first term in office. This will not be easy. It will require us to make difficult decisions and face challenges we?ve long neglected. But I refuse to leave our children with a debt that they cannot repay ? and that means taking responsibility right now, in this administration, for getting our spending under control.?

#23 ?I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear that I will execute the office of president of the United States faithfully, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the constitution of the United States.?

I thought you had it nailed with the "Illuminati", et al.

Broken promises by a US President are to be expected.

Someone or some group far more powerful and insidious than a POTUS is at the controls.

Rather than quarrel over the smokescreen of politics, I think those who are keenly aware of the task at hand take other forms of action.

ALL independent studies that have analyzed the law entirely have shown that it will:




- cover 33 million more Americans (whereas those who have to upgrade their plans will not only find BETTER coverage on the exchanges, but often also CHEAPER, all while keeping the very essence of the coverage they already had)




- cut federal HC spending and the deficit by more than a trillion




- seriously improve things when it comes to costs for ordinary citizens, AND provide better protection, as no insured American will have to lose his job, sell his home, go bankrupt or call a kid back from college ONLY because they get seriously ill anymore




- save hundreds of thousands of lives a decade.




Is it perfect? No. Will it eliminate ALL the disadvantages of a health insurance system based on private insurance? No. But will it work? Yes, EVERYTHING indicates that it will.





That's why continuing to believe the opposite isn't very reasonable. The question isn't WHETHER it will work, but HOW to make it work even BETTER.




In the meanwhile, we're still waiting for the GOP to start to show a little INTEREST in making things better for America. See yas in 2016

WASHINGTON -- House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Tuesday dismissed the idea that this Congress is the least productive in history and said the House has done its job this year.

"The House has continued to listen to the American people and to focus on their concerns," Boehner told reporters. "Whether it's the economy, whether it's jobs, whether it's protecting the American people from Obamacare -- we've done our work.":142smilie

Boehner said if anyone's to blame for congressional inaction, it's the Senate. He cited the fact that the House has passed more than half of the annual appropriations bills and the Senate hasn't passed any of them.:SIB

"The House continues to do its job," he said. "It's time for the Senate to get serious about doing theirs."

Appropriations bills always originate in the House and they require both chambers to work on them to get them signed into law. Beyond that, the House won't take up several major bills that have cleared the Senate, including immigration reform and the Employment Non-Discrimination Act.

The 113th Congress has passed 55 bills into law this year, seven fewer at this point than the 112th Congress, making it, at least for now, the least productive Congress in history. The handful of key bills that have passed the House, such as reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act and disaster relief for Hurricane Sandy victims, were accompanied by intense partisanship.

The House also didn't give itself much time to work this month, despite not having passed a budget or a farm bill. As of Tuesday, the House is scheduled to work only seven days between now and Jan. 7, when members return for the second session of the 113th Congress. The Senate is currently scheduled to be in for most of the month.:shrug::shrug:

The 2014 calendar for the House shows members will work 113 days, down from 126 days in 2013. In 2012, 107 days were scheduled
.......................................................................................................................\\


Boehner is really a dumb ass


how does America let the House get away with not working

we are stupid

we should be fighting this shit instead of worrying about not being able to sign up for insurance on a web site . 2014 still a ways away

everything will be ok

sure hope Dems can capture the House and get the power full on

Still, the big news this weekend was that the federal website that lets most people access insurance exchanges, Healthcare.gov, is mostly fixed. That?s why Santorum was reduced to railing against those takers in the GOP base. On Fox News Sunday, Chris Wallace attacked the ACA as ?income redistribution.?

And, of course, Santorum insisted that the ACA?s troubles raised questions about ?the president?s competence.? Dean wasn?t having that either.

?That?s right-wing talking points against this president,? Dean replied. ?From day one, they?ve tried to undermine him as a human being ? I lose my patience with this nonsense. I do believe that the fact are going to be determined by what happens on the ground. Three months from now, a lot more people are going to have health insurance, and a lot more people are going to be happy with all this.?

Do you mean the parody song that was coined after a phrase and editorial column written by a black Democrat from the LA Times?

This is literally the reason Photoshop was invented.
If you havent heard the story by now, heres the run-down: An LA times reporter called Barack Obama a magic negro in an op-ed column, inspiring a man named Paul Shanklin, whos sort of a poor mans Weird Al Yankovick (which is odd, because I always thought Weird Al Yankovick was the poor mans Weird Al Yankovick,) to pen a parody song titled Barack The Magic Negro. Rush Limbaugh, being as always a jiggling bag of fat and dicks, then played it on the air and guffawed sanctimoniously while chained up Twi'lek slave-girls danced around his Carbonite-frozen Han Solo.

Administration struggles to sign up young 'invincibles' for ObamaCare



By William La Jeunesse, Laura Prabucki
? Published December 03, 2013 ?
FoxNews.com


Preliminary figures suggest the Obama administration is falling far short of its goal of signing up the young, healthy and uninsured for ObamaCare.




It's a problem that could undermine the rollout of the law even more than the glitch-ridden website.

Experts say the health care program needs 40 percent of all enrollees to be between 18 and 34 years old -- a prized demographic known in the industry as the "young invincibles." They are considered young, healthy and relatively cheap to care for and are necessary to subsidize older and more expensive enrollees.

While the administration isn't releasing numbers, of the six states that are keeping score, only 28 percent fit into the young and healthy demographic.

Fox News spoke with some Los Angeles residents in that age group, who said for them, buying health insurance just doesn't make economic sense.

"A lot of people can't afford it the way it is these days," one young man said.

"I think a lot of young men my age nowadays probably don't really look into it," said another.

Though the government plans to start fining people who don't sign up for coverage by March 31, 2014, experts say the numbers simply don't add up for many young people.

Faced with expenses for rent, a car payment, auto insurance, food, and clothing, many would rather spend any leftover cash on travel, entertainment and even beer than drop $100 to $200 a month on something they don't think they'll need.

Outside a Starbucks in Santa Monica, a 20-something observed, "six or seven of my friends are uninsured right now." A friend added, "I hate the fact that I'm going to have to pay the fine, but I'll pay the fine."

That's because statistics show, the average uninsured male between the ages of 21 and 35 will see a physician as seldom as six times during that 14-year period, according to Carl Schramm, a former insurance company executive who now teaches economic policy at Syracuse University.

For those who are insured, the New York health care consultant company Milliman says men 19-34 years old will see a doctor 1.8 times a year compared with women, who will on average see a doctor 3.6 times. The two data points suggest many young people may not see health insurance as necessary.

"Most of them have zero health costs. In fact, the median health care spending for this group is exactly zero," said economist Douglas Holtz-Eakin, former head of the Congressional Budget Office.

"Literally if they do the arithmetic, 80-85 percent will just say no ... pay the penalty and stay out of the Affordable Care Act," he said. "There's a long tradition of the young invincibles not buying insurance. Those who did buy insurance in polling that we've looked at said that if their premiums went up as much as 30 percent, they'd drop it."

And for many, that is the case, since many had the minimal, catastrophic-care type policies that ObamaCare banned. Now they are being asked to buy better, albeit more expensive, health care policies.

Holtz-Eakin says if the administration prices young people out of the market, taxpayers will have to kick in the difference.

"If the age group doesn't sign up at all then the so-called exchanges are filled with very high-costs patients and the government will have to subsidize them extensively," he said. "We'll end up with a government run program for very sick people, something we've already had."

? Holy doorman

DOOMSDAY PREPPER: OBAMA READIES INSURANCE 'BAILOUT' - President Obama kicks off a re-re-launch today of his signature health entitlement program. Obama had campaigned for weeks ahead of the crash landing of his law on Oct. 1. He tried again after technical problems with the program?s online home proved far worse than he and his team had promised. But such campaign events went by the wayside briefly when the president was forced to apologize for having deceived voters with his now infamous ?if you like it? pledge. But Obama is back today as the nation?s insurance salesman in chief, with a scheduled event at the White House in which he will put on display Americans selected by his team to illustrate the promised benefits of the unpopular law.
[The administration is pushing hard online with virtual campaign events for the young Americans they are trying to herd into the entitlement program. A Monday event featured one of the stars of the ?Harold and Kumar? franchise of stoner flicks. Another ?#WHYouth? event is set for Wednesday.]
Bombs away - The White House has laid out its preliminary plans to offer more money to insurers to "help offset the loss of premium revenue and profit" under the president's health law. The regulatory filing, flagged by NYT?s Robert Pear, blames the bailout on President Obama?s sudden reversal of his long-planned regulations forcing insurers to cancel millions of policies. Obama nixed his rules after a public backlash over his misleading promise to voters in 2012 about keeping their insurance policies and doctors. But the bailout, allowed under a little-known provision of the law, may also be in answer to industry outrage over the technical and administrative failures of the president and his team. With huge sticker shock awaiting holders of cancelled policies, many may opt out even after they make it through the crash-prone Web site. Any relief to insurance companies would come on top of $1 trillion in subsidies they are slated to receive over the next ten years.
[Ready on the right - Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., saw this one coming. He has a bill on offer in the Senate closing the door on "insurance bailouts."]
ONE THIRD OF OBAMACARE ENROLLMENT RECORDS FLAWED - WaPo reports that nearly one-third of the ObamaCare applications sent to prospective insurers have errors. The errors include ?failure to notify insurers about new customers, duplicate enrollments or cancellation notices for the same person, incorrect information about family members, and mistakes involving federal subsidies.? The errors have been piling up and since the entitlement?s Oct. 1 launch and pose the possibility of a looming disaster as new policies are supposed to kick in next month.

WRONG!

Over the next decade, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates Obamacare will cost American taxpayers $1.798 trillion.

Who in the hell is going to pay for that. You, me and all the other working stiffs thats who.
Big Government does not work KOD. It can do nothing right. Just throws more money at it. Website case in point. Someone has to pay for it. I can not understand how a working individual thinks more and bigger government with less freedoms is the way to go. Unbelievable

:facepalm:

you are trusting them to have to tally that

what was health care costing taxpayers before Obamacare ? Probably more
