Obama said "For decades, few things exposed hard-working families to economic hardship more than a broken health care system. And in case you haven't heard, we're in the process of fixing that." Seriously? LOL? I did laugh out loud when I heard that. Apparently Obama is not aware that Obamacare is a failure. I guess he hasn't been watching the news, seeing as that's where he learns about all of his administration's failures. I am so tired of Obama. He is so obviously incompetent and dishonest that he should have never been elected president--twice. It's just so stupid that he is the president. WTH America? Am I right?

No, you're wrong. Obamacare isn't perfect, but it's a step in the right direction.

So... you think the cost of health care should be going up?

Obamacare doesn't really go far enough, but it is a step in the right direction towards fixing a major problem for the American middle and working classes.

The only way they'll admit failure is if punished at the ballot box and it looks likely that will happen

I know, right!? And the funniest part is that America is the only global superpower without affordable healthcare of any kind! Ahahahaha, isn't that a riot?

I thought the highlight was when he told Congress that if they did not do what he wanted, he'd simply ignore the Constitution and rule by Imperial Decree, oops I mean Executive Order, and they actually applauded him.

I have to laugh, or I'll cry .................

Maybe you should just turn off the Fox News. Then, you won't hear anyone complaining about him. And, you can move on with your life.

Seeing as how George W. Bush used more executive orders than all of the previous presidents combined I'm amazed you have any tears left.

If I dislike one, it does not imply that I love the other. In actions, not words, there isn't much difference between the two.

What do you mean by that?

It is far too early to make accurate predictions about 2016.

The Democrats have an incredibly slight advantage in the upcoming Senate elections: http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.co ... more-40702

Everything I'm reading says exactly the opposite, with historical precedent, an unpopular healthcare law, and the fact that Democratic control of the senate rests on a number of senators who won in red states during the anti Bush backlash of 08 all being contributing factors.

They are in the process of fixing it . . . Obamacare is neither success or failure, it is an early step in the right direction.
