ObamaCare More Important Than.....You

[Zam-Zam]

The USA Today nails it:


The majority of Americans don't want the flawed ObamaCare, so why is the president pushing it?


So the Republican-controlled House of Representatives -- with the help of a couple of Democrats -- has voted to defund ObamaCare. In response, President Obama, declaring that the Republicans are "trying to mess with me," has accused the House of trying to shut down the government.

But the government will only shut down if Obama vetoes the budget that comes to his desk. The House budget funds everything except for implementation of the Affordable Care Act better known as ObamaCare. In truth, by refusing even to negotiate with the House leadership and threatening to veto a budget that doesn't fit his own specifications, it is Obama, not the House of Representatives, who is putting the country at risk of a government shutdown.

It's also sadly typical that Obama sees this debate as being all about him. The Republicans aren't trying to overturn a deeply unpopular bill that was crammed through on a party-line vote despite widespread opposition by Republicans and Democrats. They're "trying to mess with" Obama. It's not about policies or governance, it's about personalities.

"They're messin with me" That's right Mr. President, it's all about you. Let's not let a little thing like what most Americans want get between you and your ego.

It's true that a large majority of Americans don't want Obamacare.

Whether its worth cramming down their throats is another issue, but even if someone is the biggest Obamacare supporter, they have to take into account how such a fight comes off, pushing such overall unpopular legislation.

ObamaCare is unpopular as it is, and would likely be even more so if people knew even more about it:


The Obamacare that consumers will finally be able to sign up for next week is a long way from the health plan President Barack Obama first pitched to the nation.

Millions of low-income Americans won’t receive coverage. Many workers at small businesses won’t get a choice of insurance plans right away. Large employers won’t need to provide insurance for another year. Far more states than expected won’t run their own insurance marketplaces. And a growing number of workers won’t get to keep their employer-provided coverage.

This mess surely isn't worth shutting the government down over, but our President plans on doing exactly that.

Just keep drinking the GOP cool aide and listening to Fox News. The only polls that show a "majority" of people don't "like" Obamacare are carefully worded to do so. In reality the poll added those who don't want Oabamacare to those who didn't think Obamacare went far enough and wanted a total one payer government program together to get a majority. If you add the people who want Obamacare to those who want a total government program you also get a majority. And the latest polls show that 59% of people don't want a defunding of Obamacare and a shutting down of government. So your whole post is based on the dishonesty of the GOP and their polling.

Here's you're problem (or one of them, at least): The source quoted was the USA Today. You reflexively went after Fox News, although no one other than yourself mentioned them. Try again, after you finish your kool-aid.

Yeah, more lies. You guys are counting the lefties who didn't think it went far enough (single-payer) in your ranks, but they're not the slightest bit interested in gutting what they got.

Tsk Tsk.
