But in 2014 we'll see the real premium explosions as the requirements hit that those with pre-existing conditions can't be denied, that young adult offspring up to age 26 be covered on parents insurance, that mental health care be covered exactly as medical care, and that all insurance policies must cover a vast variety of things that most people don't need but will now have to pay for.

The point is that the disaster that is Obamacare has not even BEGUN to hurt Americans and businesses yet. There was a reason it was so many pages, and that nobody was allowed to read it before it was rushed through. If it were good for the nation, the reviews required by law (which Obama habitually ignores) would have shown that.

The trouble with buyer's remorse is that most of Obama's supporters consider him the Pope of the Liberal Religion, and neither his actions nor their catastrophic results, nor the continuing decline of America and quality of life for the average American, will even be acknowledged.
CAN YOU GIVE ME A LINK.? They weren't allowed or they just didn't?

Know what. That you still don't get it?

That there are perfectly intelligent people such as myself that are quite pleased with Obama so far?

Perhaps you need to look in the mirror and fix yourself.

The common talking point for those with little grasp of voter demographics is that those who work and are successful vote republican. Stats don't back this up. The most government dependent county in the nation actually votes republican.

No wonder you couldn't understand the rest of what he said. he was talking to stupid. And then you wonder why he wanted to spend his campaign money on people who understand how the economy works.
He did talk to people who understood how it works. Which is why we laughed at him and voted for his opponent.

Let's just go by his own words. He said "If elected, I will repeal Obamacare on day one." He had no clue what a president can and cannot do. Unfortunately millions of Americans believed his words and based their votes on comments like that.

It's as if some people think just because Obama is half black, they think he will not lie to them.

Obama / Biden:
They gonna put ya'll back in chains
I'm pledging to cut the deficit in half by the end of my first term in office
Adding 4 trillion dollars is irresponsible, it's unpatriotic
Healthcare law negotiations will be on C-span
Shovel ready jobs
It is important to us that this thing (healthcare law) is deficit neutral
Healthcare legislation is absolutely not a tax increase, I absolutely reject that notion.
Middle class Americans will not pay one more dime in taxes

I can make a firm pledge no family making less than $250, will pay more in taxes, not a payroll tax, not any taxes

Vote with your lady parts
When everyone pays their fair share
It was because of the video
Obama campaigned after he knew there had been a terrorist attack.
Transparency and the rule of law will be the touch stone of this presidency
Vote... vote.... vote for revenge
Throw granny over the cliff
My wife died because of Romney
Get your free Obama phone
I can't get a voters ID
If you don't agree with Obama, you're racist
free birth control
free, free, free
Supports offshore drilling in Brazil but backs tough drilling in the U.S.

Democrats:
But we have to pass the bill to see what's in it.
Welfare is a economic stimulus.

The evidence states two things...One that the American electorate are utterly stupid...or two- The electoral system is so complex that it has become a twisted mess that can be manipulated.
This is one time I completely agree with you.
