The President is Arrogantly Spiking the Football....

It's a shame that he would take this opportunity to politicize serious issues like Obamacare.

Just queuing up the RW meme-of-the-day that is sure to come.



More than 7.1million.

Mic drop.

Again.

That's probably the 5th time.

This is a message to the jellyfish in the party.

Run. ON. Obamacare.

I give him credit -- many have tried and failed. Makes you examine where the US is an exceedingly backward country.

I think President Obama would say, "Mission far from accomplished; but an important milestone towards moving this society towards single-payer reached."

Underestimate President Obama at your own peril. That is a man that EARNED his way to where he is....he is NOT George W Bush or Mitt Romney...who fell into success....

Obama has spent his lifetime exercising his brain by finding the tiny opportunities available, the crack in the facades and capitalizing on them. Romney's and Bush's have never had to think like that.."opportunities" just fall into their laps....they think that happens to everyone but the rest of us are just "lazier" than they are....this is how they can sleep at night....

There are leaders...and there are managers. President Barack Obama is a leader....

Precisely. This guy has been second-guessed and doubted at every turn. In total, his net moves have equaled PROGRESS.

I've always felt there is a whole lot more to the man than being a politician. He is very different in a most positive way.

Taken too much bullshit from all of them.. They need a good kick in their collective asses and IMO there is nothing he could say that would adequately express my feelings toward all of these obstructionist, fearmongering, liars!

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

I smell a troll.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Apr 1, 2014, 01:51 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I have less posts than the alerted member and I have been here for 7 years.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP is clearly laying out what is sure to be the next ring wing attack. In other words, this is a joke.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter made no case. My computer smells like my computer. I hope this goes 6-0 and they lose alert privileges for a day.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: HUH? Can you read?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm fairly sure, tiny doubt, the poster is mocking Wingnuts, not the Prez, although at least a different poster in the thread is definitely a Wingnut.

As I was watching this I got a facebook message about how shitty it is that the president is patting himself on the back for forcing people to have something they don't want.

"You have a problem with sick kids getting care?" I responded.

"No, of course not! It's Obamacare that's shitty because HE is shitty!"

"Gotcha . . ." You can find the imprint of my forehead on the livingroom wall.
