Obama Health Care Law: Favor/Oppose

Consider that just a couple of weeks ago, Apple rolled out a new mobile operating system, and within days, they found a glitch, so they fixed it. I don’t remember anybody suggesting Apple should stop selling iPhones or iPads or threatening to shut down the company if they didn’t. That’s not how we do things in America.

– Barack Obama

This is the same Barack Obama who is destroying an entire US industry because burning coal generates a harmless, odorless colorless gas.

Anyway, people buy iPhones because they like them, not because they are being extorted by the government.

The really astonishing thing is the inability of the Republican leadership to  KO Obama, no matter how many easy openings he provides them.

After promising no middle class tax hikes, Obama has slammed the middle class with yet another huge tax hike.

Under the law, every individual in the country must obtain coverage by the end of open enrollment period on March 31, 2014. After that point, the government will implement the mandate, which charges those without insurance a fee of $95 in 2014, or 1% of their annual income, whichever is higher. The IRS will determine and implement the size of the fine via tax filings.

The penalties for failing to have coverage will continue to climb to up to 2.5% of annual income by 2016, a move lawmakers designed to push more people into the health insurance marketplaces, but many experts question the effectiveness of a mandate

Those pesky majority elected representatives of the citizenry keep interfering with Obama’s plans to be dictator.

Speaking from the Rose Garden at the White House on Tuesday afternoon, President Obama said he would not give in to unreasonable demands by “one faction, of one party, of one house of Congress in one branch of government.”

This is the same Obama who stepped off the golf course a few weeks ago and illegally delayed Obamacare by a year for his business cronies.

“Congress generally has to stop governing by crisis,” he added

Obama’s entire presidency has been governing by crisis.
