Obama Camp Attacks Koch Brothers to Distract From Healthcare Cost

Back to blog

Just a guess on my part, whenever an explanation given is "Obama's administration just wants to distract from Healthcare costs". Must be coming from a "republican", and even worse, a "greedy" one at that. Good luck blaming Obama for everything that beagan with your leaders 8 years ago. Your group is pathetic. Think like a real "American" instead of a "party memeber".

You could distract an ignorican with almost anything. Their gullibility and shallowness makes it easy. You could even tell them lies . In point of fact look at romney's lies about the fate of women after Bushe's recession under Obama. The treasury secretary said they were pure fiction. I don't think an ignorican can tell the difference between fiction and reality. That is why they are so anti-science, anti-progress, and anti-women. Their small-minded denial of reality explains their acceptance of a candidate for prez who is a liar, as Newt GiGrinch pointed out so eloqently. Their's is an etch-a-sketch party.

This week-end you are showing your are stupid to the max.
1. brucetee _ No “duck's in a row” for you... Just crap grass in your garden...
So you claim you have “corrected” me. Being cute again ??? You _ suppositively _ prove your case by showing Prez wife worked outside the home in earlier times. You did not correct me. You confirmed what I wrote. I wrote “Ms bum-bum is no “June Cleaver” either”. Unlike June, she worked (means no Jume Cleaver). May have to call you dumb-dumb with these kind of errors...
2. You write "It bears repeating that the united states,is the only non- third world country that does not provide basic healthcare for it;s citizen's".
DEMOCRATS fixed that ???
That is a terrible thing for you to say about the __ passed legislation __ called BUMCARE. Was passed BY DEMOCRATS. DEMOCRATS had no need to read bill before passage. It provided a 4 + year wait to get it going FULL STEAM.
BAD JOB brucetee...

Romney is a liar,oh no!
Looks like the ignoricans have chosen a liar. The treasury secretary said that what Romney said about how women had fared after the recession under Obama was pure fiction. In other words he lied. Mr. Etch-Sketch indeed.newt Gingrich was right, he is a liar. Who would have thought it.

Anything thats been offered by the republicans ,in the way of healthcare coverage and reform is nothing more than window dressing.
It bears repeating that the united states,is the only non- third world country that does not provide basic healthcare for it;s citizen's.

John _ bumcare was PASSED. No bills by Democrats to improve. Republican bills JUST SIT IN DEMOCRAT SENATE...
Facts is bumcare will break America financially as CBO reports. Other Nation’s health care is in SAME BOAT. WHY we have a 4 year + wait for vast majority of bumcare. Proper name for it. From day one bumare was shown NO GOOD in the polls upto and including present day.
Other options have been presented by Republicans. Check the passed bills from House gathering dust in Senate with NO ACTION taken. No UP or DOWN vote or re-write and send back to House.
Democrats CALLED US party of “NO”...

Given that Americans are paying 10 - 20 times more then other nations (some of which arnt bankrupt)for the same treatment - It should be easy to provide healthcare for Americans on the cheap; Obamacare or not. Seems the problem with healthcare in America is somewhere else and no political party seems to have the backbone to deal with it. Seems non of the political penguins can get on board the straight and narrow - and get what needs being done - done. They all treat the electorate like they are dumb children - perhaps they are - given how badly the average American has been ripped off in plain site. It is sad to see a nation like America slip so far.

EVER wonder why a FOUR YEAR + wait for near all of bumcare ??? Is NOT because WE WILL LOVE IT. Great BUMCARE would make bum-bum and Democrats a sure shoe-in for re-election. WAIT, Democrats lost BIG Nov., 2, 2010. POLLS been against bumcare since beginning to NOW...
With my health insurance policy I have a policy that determines my benefits. With bumcare a board decides what plan can afford & for who. No piece of paper that gives you guarantees enforcible in a COURT OF LAW...

I learnt from "Penny Health" that Instead, try saying, "There's medically necessary treatment that I'm seeking." Remember, words have power and insurers are all about finding limitations and exclusions if you say the wrong thing.

BP caused oil leak in Gulf. Was bum-bum administration that waived regulations for BP, the company with the worse safety record of them all.
You think this site is SO "Teabaggerland", THEN CHECK polls conducted on site. I am a TEA and results of near all on-site polls are not to my right sided liking...
Guess we can attack bum-bum over his helping:
1.BP after their campaign contributions by giving GREEN stimulus to them creating JOBS OVER SEAS. LATER waivers of regulations leading to Gulf oil spill.
2. Then their is Warren Buffet (some of his companies behind in paying taxes going back to 2002) who tax $$$’s helped re-vamp his cho-cho train. bum-bum was kind enough to stop oil pipeline, a major revenue for Buffet’s train set.
3. Then there is George Soros. bum-bum wants him to DRILL BABY DRILL. NO obstacles placed in his way. bum-bum helps him...
As noted by Peter in a polite way, buma DO LIE. Let’s say MIS-LEADS. LIKE this:
“Obama: I don’t take money from oil companies or Washington lobbyists, and I won’t let them block change anymore."
“It’s true that Obama doesn’t take money directly from oil companies, but then, no presidential, House or Senate candidate does. They can’t: Corporations have been prohibited from contributing directly to federal candidates since the Tillman Act became law in."
“Obama has, however, accepted more than $213,000 in contributions from individuals who work for, or whose spouses work for, companies in the oil and gas industry, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. That’s not as much as Sen. Hillary Clinton, who has received more than $306,000 in donations from people tied to the industry, but it’s still a substantial amount.”
