Obama on Obamacare: "Every Prediction They Made Turned Out To Be Wrong," "Working Better Than Even I Expected"

PRESIDENT OBAMA: They believe it's time to end the social contract which has sustained so many of us -- the basic bargain of shared sacrifice and shared responsibility. Own it and make the argument. But you can't credibly claim that [their] vision is about helping working families get ahead or that this budget is a path to prosperity. It's the same argument I'm having with healthcare.

It was one thing for them to argue against Obamacare before it was put in place. Every prediction they made about it turned out to be wrong. It's working better than even I expected. But it doesn't matter. Evidence be damned. 'It's still a disaster.' But why?

Well... for the left, the proclamation is reality.

If you perceive a different reality, that is your problem not theirs.

Their reality is just fine...

Yeah but if you like your health insurance you can keep your health insurance... and if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor... but we have to pass it to find out what's in it...

The guy is a fool. Made worse by the fact that he (and he only, worldwide) believes his own bullshit.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
Rational fear and anger at vicious murderous Islamic terrorists is the same as irrational antisemitism, according to the Leftists.

I disagree. Lots of Americans believe him. My brother is one of them.

My brother is the same. I saw him yesterday and he was not happy because his business had a better year than anticipated so he has to pay back 100% of his Obamacare subsidy. I could see the light coming on a bit.

I felt for him on other fronts. His adult step kids are throwing him a left curve. His cash outflow at a time when his business is taking off is weighing on him. Now, the unanticipated Obamacare hit.

I understand. Blood is thicker than politics.
