Obama (and all the "Chicago machine" within his camp) live by one simple rule; The end always justifies the means.

Need we say more?

I voted no, but I don't think the alternative would have been any better.

I'm not crazy about him but I don't hate him either. I don't think he's evil incarnate or anything but I prefer him to Bush who was simply being told what to do by Cheney (whom I do consider to be pretty evil).

Ok, so if a homeless person or a person with two part time jobs or a person who has a job with no benefits comes into a hospital needing a procedure...then what's your solution?

Throw them out in the street to die?

If HC is not a basic human right and they don't have insurance and clearly can't pay....then??????? Using your logic, they should be denied care and sent home to die. Nice. Not a country I'd like to live in. Would want no part of that.

I'm really saddened that people have a disgusting viewpoint like that. Uncaring people unfortunately are among us.

What about people in jail who get sick? Euthanize them?

Why do we want to give employers so much power over us and our healthcare. It's crazy. Losing a job shouldn't meaning losing healthcare....just the way losing a job doesn't mean you can't call 911 if you're being attacked or your house is on fire.

Just to put it in perspective....we pay more for in taxes for MEDICARE ALONE then Canada pays for it's ENTIRE HEALTHCARE system. They have no insurance companies. Every citizen gets a health card and are 100 percent covered. Socialized medicine. If we put the amount of money we put into insurance into a national health care system like France but to the right of canada(far to the left of obamacare) then we'd have better health care than france, which currently has the best healthcare in the world for all it's citizens.

I see a lot of late night talk shows bashing on Obama, like he can't wait to leave office he have been doing such a bad job. EXACTLY what have he been doing that everyone hates him so much? I watch news but don't know a whole lot about this Obama thing.

They're being brainwashed by fox news so they can get ratings. If you looked at the actual facts rather than this nonsense about how bad obamacare is(total absolute lies from fox news) than there's really nothing to fear about Obama. They can't even articulate why they hate him. They say EMOTIONAL things like he's "not a leader" "he apologizes for the west" "he supports islamic crazies"(meanwhile he killed bin laden and has killed countless terrorists with drone strikes). Hell they even went after him for KILLING bin laden saying he should have been captured alive. Fox news has lost credibility because all they do 24/7 is obama bashing. They blame him for impossible situations like IRAQ and ISIS. It's a complete joke.

We bash 0bama because he ignores the Constitution. If you watch the news every night and fail to understand, you are the poster child for the phrase "you can't fix stupid".

The worst President was Bush the Younger. He was like a puppet, brainlesss, not a clue.

I don't agree 100% with President Obama but he's a whole lot better than Bush ever was. Besides how can he get anything done when the Republicans agreed beforehand to vote against everything he wanted. The Republicans have divided this country in two and I don't know if we can ever get it back.

Yeah, right. You smoke three packs a day for thirty years and drink a six pack every night. At age 50, you expect me to pay for your heart and lung transplant? Yeah, right.

If you want HC, pay your bills.
