Yeah. While we are at it why should employers be required to pay people one cent above the minimum wage? Why is there even a minimum wage? If I can get some poor slop out there to mow my lawn for a cheese sandwich then what right has the government to tell two consenting adults what to do in their personal lives. Freedom!
Please tell us why the employer should be responsible?
Should they also be responsible for providing a car? Should they be responsible for providing groceries? Should they be responsible for providing you a tooth brush and toilet paper?
Why should it be the employer's responsibility?
Why can't people just pay for their own medical coverage?
Personally, I think this whole health insurance idea where we go through a middleman to pay for checkups and basic medication is a joke. We should be buy catastrophic coverage and paying for other procedures as we go.
Do we use auto insurance to pay for oil changes or brake pad changes?
I support President Obama. From the time of his first inauguration to this day he has fought an uphill battle with a recalcitrant Congress whose sole agenda is to see him out of office. He is damned if he does and damned if he doesn’t. He is threatened with impeachment for enforcing the law and with a lawsuit for not doing so. Still he persists in the face of relentless political perverseness. You have to admire his persistence - his insistence on doing the right thing against constant resistence - and his dedication to duty of his office. Whatever you may think of him - his triumphs and failures - he is, as Senator John McCain said, “a decent person”; and a man who is trying his best to do his best for the best interests of the nation and the people.
If you think that what he said was brainwashing, it's very obvious that you don't understand anything any better than that clueless *!!%$#* idiot in the White House.

Freedom? Not necessarily, that's just Obama's illegal alien work permit policy.
Typical Obama-blame others for his failures. He and his syncopates pass a poorly written law at the last minute, with no review or debate. When employers comply with it's rules, he blames the employers for being mean. He sounds like a 12 year old that didn't get the toy he wants. I really am getting tired of the whiny child in the White House.
And this is why America is in trouble. The man sends guns to Mexican drug cartels, blames an ambassador's assassination on a youtube video, uses the IRS as his personal political police force, lies about people being able to keep their insurance, does nothing to fix the problems at the VA after vowing to do so, attacks Libya without congressional consent, lies about sequestration being Republicans' fault, bails out the bankers who crashed the economy and prosecutes none of them, and blows a trillion dollars on a stimulus that even he admitted later did nothing for recovery and you support him. It's people who are so caught up in their ideology that they don't care about ethics and competence who allow problems in this nation to go unsolved. They'd rather let the problems go on than admit their policies for addressing them failed.

This describes any President with an opposition congress. The difference is that other Presidents with an opposition congress actually compromise with that congress. What Obama did was refuse to offer any compromises whatsoever, then go on television and whine about congress refusing to do what he wanted them to do.

No, that's your misrepresentation of the facts. He is threatened with impeachment and a lawsuit for changing the law after congress passed it. It is illegal for a President to alter the law. He is supposed to enforce the law as written.

I might admire his persistence in doing the right thing if he did it ethically, but he doesn't. If he prosecuted Arizona for violating immigration law, then he should have prosecuted San Francisco for its violations of immigration law but he didn't. If he couldn't get the votes to pass Obamacare then he should have either compromised until he could or else dropped the issue but instead he used reconciliation to pass it. He should not have issued waivers to let lobbyists serve in his administration after vowing that no lobbyists would serve in his administration. He should not have risked the peoples' money on Solyndra after his own White House economists told him it was going to fail. These are not the actions of an admirable man doing his best. These are the actions of an unethical man trying to push his agenda through by any means necessary.

If it weren't for Benghazi I might agree with this part of your statement. However, Obama let the maker of the youtube video that he blamed Benghazi on go to jail. Decent people don't send other people to jail to cover up their own administration's mistakes. An innocent man sat in a prison cell so that Obama could look better politically. Obama admitted in the Presidential debate that he knew it was a terrorist attack all along, which makes his jailing of the youtube video maker a deliberate act to send an innocent man to prison to make himself look better.

Exactly. It's sickening.
