Yes I did. And here's a couple of consequences, if you insist on tying every company's fortunes to the presidency:

In fairness to liberals, this one is because of the fiscal cliff, not Obamacare.

Obama is also responsible for the fiscal cliff because he had FOUR years to work on spending cuts and refused to do so.

People are not stupid. They can see the inequity in trading their labor for money - a sum that is reduced by inflation, overt and covert taxation. It is far more profitable to go on the dole, than to be a donor sucked dry by the hordes of bureaucratic fleas.
A society cannot instill self discipline in the next generation, when the previous generation burdens them with parasites, predators and politicians who reap gain for naught. It only teaches them to embrace the law of the jungle.
A people who penalize the productive for the benefit of the non-productive will self destruct. There is no other fate for a people under the control of collectivists, pirates and usurers.
When the fleas outvote the dog, the dog dies, and then the fleas.

Both parties are equally responsible for the fiscal cliff and that's the point: that's why I think the cliff is a good, though short-term painful idea. This is the compromise we've been waiting for.

In a few years, people will realize the ObamaCare is a sham and we will have missed the opportunity to have repealed this menace. It is already proving to kill jobs and reduce work hours for people. How is this helping? I wish the Democrats would have tried to work with the Republicans (at least once) and listended to their proposals which were designed to reduce health care costs rather than force a health care system on us.
