Pot, meet kettle.

You refuse to acknowledge, even when it's mentioned in the linked article, that this may affect other Democrats who are facing elections.

Thank goodness for the Tea Party. The GOP actually got a little steel in their spine to stand up to Obama.

Obama will be remembered for some good things, such as healthcare reform, but he will also be remembered for having the highest bought of unemployment experienced since the 1930s. In future times I believe the American people will have very polarized viewpoints of him.

On what planet do you live that you characterize his "health care reform" as a good thing? Obamacare is singularly unpopular among the American people. It is hardly going to be remembered as some sort of success. What it will be is the reason the Democrats lose the Senate.

I was able to purchase a healthcare plan from Humana through Healthcare.gov that covered a surgery I just had last week. There is no pre-existing clause attached to the policy and I will be able to get the negotiated rate and I'll be able to use it to set up a payment plan and for post operative care. Prior to 2014 such a policy would never have existed for me. Even my last place of employment had a pre-existing condition clause latched onto their group health insurance plan. Without insurance the hospital would have refused to even admit me for surgery.

You Republicans need to get over the fact that our old healthcare system that left millions of sick Americans such as myself to suffer is DEAD and will never come back. Obama's healthcare reform has provided millions of Americans with access to affordable insurance. The GOP's continued fits and tantrums about millions of Americans having affordable access to healthcare is what will cost them future elections. I can't wait to see a GOP candidate try for the presidency on the pledge that they will take away health insurance from the more than 7 million (and growing) Americans who have acquired high quality coverage through Obama's reform. They won't get elected.

If it's so great, why is your hero delaying it over and over again?

And it's not my responsibility or the government's responsibility to pay for your health care. You have a sad story, but you are responsible to take care of yourself. Just because you can't doesn't mean I or anyone else should have to subsidize you.

You didn't subsidize me. I paid full price for the plan. I received no subsidize whatsoever.

And yes, I know that millions of right wing American's just like yourself would much prefer it for the sick and poor of society to just die. Well tough ****! Your barbaric desires are done with.

It is ridiculous how fans of Barack OBreezey quickly divert away from his poor numbers - like they do for his constant lies, hypocrisies, adopting of Bush policies that he campaigned against, etc... Anything for their shepherd.

At least they are right on one thing, he is super cool.

It is even more ridiculous that people on the right love to point to Obama's low numbers as proof that Americans are turning against him without also acknowledging that Congressional Rs are less popular by a wide margin.
