You might want to look up what backpedaling means.
So typical of Leftists, and so predictable!

Their alternative reality is that everything is sweetness and light. They don't want the truth, because the lie is what they want to believe.

President Obama is extremely disingenuous. Always spinning, lying, distorting, telling half truths, etc... He knows he can do this, because his supporters always make excuses if they even realize that he is so dishonest.

Of course there is an impact on some jobs. Of course Obama is being dishonest like usual.

I think MarcoPolo made a good post though and I do think we will one day have a system that resembles Canadas.

And the media will never give him a followup question..........never.

Barack: "Unemployment is just fine."

Media follow up: "What is Michelle's favorite vacation spot?"


Dude can say anything.....and he knows it!

Obamacare is creating jobs...jobs for H1-B visa holders.
Infosys and Cognizant have been hired by Illinois and DC to implement the software for exchanges.

Cognizant submitted paperwork to bring in 60 H1-B visa holders.
And Infosys..why they are based in Bangalore to begin with.

Yeah..plenty of new jobs folks.
Both companies say there is a shortage of IT workers.
Right..IBM just layed off 3000 and HP scheduled to layoff 15000 by end of year and Blackberry layed off 4500. And these three are just recent announcements since July.

People wouldn't have listened anyway. We talked about this in the Employment forum before that fool was re-elected and people didn't want to believe it. They were all going to keep their 40 hours AND get "free" health care. They were warned, they still voted for this moron and his insipid health care act, and now look at what we have.

But hey, if St. Hope and Change says it isn't happening, then we are all just imagining our cut hours and lack of full time job openings....I mean, he would NEVER lie to us!

To reiterate, the (Un)ACA is never going to do what Barry sez it will do. Never. Can you say "welfare state"? With all the aforementioned companies' layoffs, the Deceiver-in-Chief is at his conniving nastiest.

Why don't we just lobby to subject all politicians...........including Darth Barry...............to this new law and see how they feel about it?

Oh please!

He claimed whatever he's wanted to say, and almost everyone laps it up .....

President Obama, in a heavily partisan speech defending his signature health care law, claimed Thursday "there's no widespread evidence" it is hurting jobs -- despite widespread reports that businesses are cutting back worker hours in order to avoid extra costs tied to the law.

So??? How can this President stand there, and boldly lie to the American public like this? There is ample evidence, that insurance costs are increased because of the ACA, (ie Obamacare). If you force the insurance companies to accept people with pre-existing conditions, no limits or caps, someone has to pay for all this. Now, don't get me wrong, I can understand someone with pre-existing conditions wanting to get covered, and in some cases, can agree that there should be some help for them, but seriously. The government has no money with the exception of taxes/fees/excise taxes for revenue. The Insurance companies have no money except that which it gets from the monies it collects from it's policyholders. That means the money comes out of our pockets.

MY insurance cost is going up 36% this year, and went up last year and the year before at a rate over 2x as much as any year previously.

So? How can this man stand there and say, it's not going to cost us any more money, we are going to pay $2500 less, and it's not affecting jobs?

The same as Obama always does.

Obama lied about the circumstances of his own mother's death so that he could promote Obamacare. The Washington Post called him out on it and contacted his campaign and Obama ignored the Washington Post and doubled down on his lie - repeating it over and over again.

Obama knows he can blatantly lie over and over again -- because of who his supporters are.

Obama is a compulsive liar, extremely disingenuous - even for a politician.
