I ask all you Obama doubters out there..

89. Fuck that! It's a HUGE step in the right direction, especially for states like CA, NY

and other BLUE states that are beginning to implement the law. It's a GREAT step, too! California, New York, and here in Maryland where I live, thanks to Obamacare, premiums will be cut in half next year. The exchanges have already been implemented and these states have already seen drastic changes in the cost of healthcare, drastic declines in those costs.

Is it as progressive as we want it to be? Hell, no!

But, what are we going to do about it?

Again, I remember sitting on the phone calling conservative Democrats and them saying NO to a public option.

Now, we can blame Obama all we want, but how are we going to get more progressive Democrats elected to Congress who will help us get a public option, at the very least?

And I wanna know if/when you will start to hold the Republicans accountable? Yes, the same Republicans who want to cut billions from food stamps. Yes, the same Republicans who want to cut homelessness programs--I WORK FOR HUD--and divert the money to tax cuts for the wealthy? Yes, those same programs that would rather see people live in poverty and starve on the streets because they hate this black man so much and they hate the fact that his biggest achievement--Obamacare--will start to work for millions of American people next year?

When will you blame Republicans for any of this? When will you blame them for blocking ALL the Jobs bills, transportation-related bills, all the legislation that would have created tens of millions of jobs? When will you blame them? For anything????
