I would hate to live in yours, where lying is an accepted practice and nobody is allowed to complain about being lied to.

How funny that you would pull a number out of the air like that. But let's say we do make that much (we don't). That would be 14.67%.

Maybe, maybe not, either way, if you can't afford less than 9.5% of your income for health insurance, there is something wrong with you.

I am not so naive to believe the words coming out of the mouth of a politician. People in this country can't be that butthurt. They just want to complain about Obama for other reasons.

Huh? $95,400 is 400% over the poverty level, that is the cut off for tax breaks with health insurance. It shouldn't cost you more than 9.5% of your income, so it sounds like you did something wrong with the math or you are unaware of the tax credits you can receive for your health insurance.

Obama's fundamental reason for lying to the American people is they just do not respect most Americans and have very little regard for our intelligence. Obama and his closest advisers have in fact told us they don't think too highly of most Americans.

Obama said we have become "lazy" and grown "soft" over the years. Saying we are too dumb to understand a jobs bill he was trying to pass, so Democrats were going to have to break up the Jobs Bill into bite-sized pieces that were easier to understand.

Michelle Obama has called us a "mean" country; Attorney General Eric Holder has called us a "nation of cowards"

Valerie Jarrett, who said that Obama and his officials might have to use "simpler words".

Take that War on Women, propagandists agree it is condescending.

Barack Obama's "gaffe" when he derisively described people who live in small-towns as bitter people who "cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them."

Do you have a link where Obama and his closest advisors have told us they don't think highly of most Americans? This sounds like a BS statement to me.

Sorry, you're crunching the wrong numbers. Family of 3. All working. The 9.5% is only for families who qualify for a subsidy.

Just please accept the fact that not all of us are liars. Some of us are caught in a bad financial trap that doesn't fit the political propaganda.

So what you are saying is you make 400% above the poverty level, for a family of 3 that would mean you make more than $79,160 in your household.
