"We warned the president -- don't ever, ever agree with the Republicans,"

125. Obama disagreed with you.

He correctly argued that it would be unfair to force people who could not afford HC, and the vast majority of people who do not have HC, cannot afford it, to have to pay for it. He went on to say that if forcing poor people to buy houses, we could solve the homeless problem.

The Right Wing meme that the poor are lazy and greedy, hiding all that money so that everyone else will have to pay for them, used to be argued against by real Democrats. Still is, actually, because Democrats tend to know the facts..

44,000 lazy, greedy, poor people die each year because, presumably, they would rather die than pay for HC according to Republicans, and now I guess, some on the 'left'. So many greedy suicidal poor people! If only they would pay up and not make the rest of us have to pay. Wait, we don't have to pay if they die, 'die quickly' is even better, as Alan Grayson said.

Obama was right of course, another reason I supported him. He understood that the poor were not hoarding money they just didn't have any. But then, something happened, just as something happened to change his mind about Offshore Drilling.

His thinking devolved and he ended up agreeing with John McCain on both those issues.
