Oh My: White House Wants Democrats To Campaign On Obamacare
In about two weeks or so, think back to this article by The Hill when Obamacare has disappeared from mention by Democrats and the White House. They will not want to campaign on Obamacare, much like they conveniently forgot that they passed Obamacare in the runup to the historic beatdown in 2010
The White House is encouraging congressional Democrats to go on the offensive after the Supreme Court upheld the president’s signature healthcare legislation Thursday, urging members on the campaign trail to “illustrate how the President and Democrats in Congress are standing up for the middle class.”
The memo, written by White House senior adviser David Plouffe and sent to the House and Senate Democratic caucuses, says the party should be happy to debate Republicans on taxes.
Oh, yes, please, let’s have a debate over the taxes in Obamacare. We’d love to see how Democrats spin a massive tax increase on the middle class.

During the “debates” between the dems and the GOP on the campaign trails, wait until some demmorhoid actually calls the funding provisions of the ACA a penalty. Every person running under the GOP banner needs to have the same response:
SCOTUS ruled it unconstitutional as a penalty. Why are you calling it unconstitutional now?
We need to hammer this point home until November. Make the theft-wingers squirm when they try to defend this monstrosity.

I hope Nancy Pelousy browbeats her troops into doing this like she did to get them to vote for this abortion.

Yea, that’s the ticket.
We’ll blame it on the conservative Chief SCOTUS who was appointed by BOOOOOOSH and that’s why it ‘unexpectedly’ became a tax on the middle class.
Yea baby!

Obamacare, an Absolutely Monumental Fraud
Fraudulent governmental initiatives and fraudulent private organizations all have one thing in common: They want the public to believe they are something they are not.
Case in point: Obamacare.
(The monumental frauds Facebook.com, Google.com, the Washington Post, and the United Nations, all of which are great fans of our president and all of which adhere to the misguided liberal principles of deception and distortion, will follow.)
Above all else, President Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party hoped Americans would fall for the lies and hype and believe the Affordable Care Act was eminently affordable and that people who already had medical insurance and who were averse to socialistic medicine would be “permitted” by their government to keep their coverage and their doctors.
As when Obama “absolutely” pledged that Obamacare would not impose any new taxes, both claims have proven to be frauds.
By the time Obamacare is fully implemented in 2018, it not only will be unaffordable to many people but 20 new or greatly-increased taxes will have been levied on Americans and millions of the currently-insured would be able, “permitted,” to retain their doctors only if government bureaucrats approve of their physicians and their course of treatment.
Of course, none of that applies to those bureaucrats, or congressmen, or other federal employees since the ACA exempts them–and millions of workers in protected unions and industries–from Obamacare’s onerous and largely unknown provisions.
When the United States Supreme Court unexpectedly ruled last week that Obama’s legacy issue was constitutional and is now indisputably the law of the land, SCOTUS neglected to incorporate very relevant Obamacare details in its controversial decision.
Never mind that passage of Obamacare had so consumed the president and the Democrat Party for almost two years while they controlled the presidency and both houses of Congress that they were forced to pass the ACA by bribing and intimidating opponents.
Never mind that Obama and his Democrat Party ignored far more critical problems . . .
