Pres Obama: Cut Household Spending to Afford Health Care Law - YouTube

The awful arrogance of this creep who has never worked for a living amazes me.

All said just days before leaving on his milti-million dollar golf vacay in Florida.

So, if you earn $700 weekly ($600 after taxes depending on whee you live) all you need to do is give up cable television, internet and cell phone to afford your health care insurance.

What a great guy!

Wow. Said from the man whose suit cost at least probably three times that monthly premium. And who supports that same taxpayer paying for cell phones and the internet for those that don't work.

It is incredibly insulting to tell people who do not make very much money to begin with that they must cut expenses in an already tight budget to buy a product that is subpar (the deductibles are still very high fro the bronze plans) and one that they may or may not use at a cost that is too high for them to afford, even if they did cut their budget down to just the bare necessities. It's a huge slap in the face to make them pay a fine if they cannot afford to buy health insurance.

Yes. Cut your family vacations, Christmas gifts for your kids, college tuition and retirement savings just to subsidize your comrade's health insurance.

This wouldn't be so bad if not for the fact that by saying this he is pimping for the insurance companies.

People should set their priorities but a president should never tell them what they should buy first where it comes down to private businesses.

As a conservative and in the context of what the President actually stated, it is up to the individual to prioritize their own needs. If non essentials are more important than health care, so be it.

Now, there are families whom simply cannot afford health care, unfortunately.

So liberals , you guys always fight that republicans are the evil ones that dont want the poor or middle class to be successful but your dear leader/king has slapped EVERYONE in the face ... How can you explain this liberals?

The fact is that , everyone is going to be forced to buy insurance and it dont matter if you cant afford it or not. So if you dont buy insurance you get penalized a fee and every year that fee will go up to be higher and higher... When will liberals see that this man has destroyed this country?

Our society and life is now based off the internet and cell phones and this idiot is saying to cut that out ? LOL wow really?

With every passing day, I am more and more convinced he is the biggest f**king a**hole who has ever occupied the White House.

This guy has been a grifter virtually every day of his adult life. He knows nothing about managing household expenses.

More inept than Carter, more corrupt than Nixon. That is Obama's legacy.

and I guess all of those things are more important than your Health? Because what good are your "family Vacations, Christmas gifts, College Tuition and retirement Savings if your "health" is in a "predicament"?
