..., and wish he would take the Repubs to the mat.
That could only happen if he had balls and he would have to grow a set and stop lying.

I take no pride in the way he has allowed the opposition to dictate to him, and wish he would take the Repubs to the mat.
Please take no offense my friend but we also have Medicare (as you call it) and it is almost bankrupt. We've had Medicare for a long time and we have provided basic level healthcare (our Medicare) for those in need for a long time. I won't waste your time or mine but the basis of Obamacare isn't government funded health care. It just makes sure YOU (emphasis on YOU) have to BUY (emphasis on BUY) healthcare if you don't have it. If you don't have it you have to pay a penalty starting at tax time in the near future. I am sure that the program you have (and I am guessing here) isn't quite like that.Always makes me laugh when I hear Americans talking about healthcare... how dare a Government provide basic level healthcare for it's citizens! Don't worry DasTiger, it works here in Australia and in many other countries.
My observation is that the president, and to a greater extent, his administration, spends an inordinate amount of time blaming everybody but themselves for things not being right. Presidents lead, they don't blame others. Bush was certainly no peach, but he led. Obama, methinks, not so much.
And about the IRS scandal, I suspect a serious investigation will reveal that the IRS was used by the administration (I am not saying the President) to intimidate and frustrate those groups opposed to the president's re-election...which would put Obama and his administration in the same league as Nixon...that's right, Nixon. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence floating around that points to a conspiracy, not a rogue element...and if it is a rogue element, then this is a classic case of proving the Republican stance is correct...more government is not a good thing...

You are never denied healthcare in the US. You walk into an emergency room or urgent care facility and they'll treat you....they have to, it's part of the Hippocratic oath. But how does it get paid for? People that have insurance PAY MORE to cover those who don't....so no one goes without, the burden was laid on the few who had plans...but now that has changed, everyone has to have it, some more consumers mean more money means less cost for everyone, right? Nope, it's more expensive AND your plan doesn't cover as much as it did.
Why...because the government is now involved. VA healthcare is a mess, social security is a mess, medicare is a mess and someone thinks the government can run/legislate health care? I'd say no, judging from previous efforts..
I also read today that the US government is selling 30 million shares of GM stock it holds from the whole economic flim flammery of a few years back. If the US is a government of the people, shouldn't I have been receiving a dividend check because are aren't all US citizens part owners, technically speaking? I'd like my share mailed to me, I think I can invest it better than the USGOV...
