This healthcare debate is brutal. Pelosi's spackling and caulking is chipping away...

Someone get Hoss a pacifier.

Should have seen her on Meet The Press yesterday.  She is still attempting to promote the idea that it's the insurance company's fault if your plan gets canceled.  Apparently she is the only one left who is still pushing that BS.

This week United Health dropped thousands of doctors from their system under the exchanges.  So I suppose now we will see some executive jockeying on the "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" BS too.  What a mess, and a mess that is playing out exactly as anticipated even without the website debacle.

As midterm pressures increase, so will motivation to kill the monster.  What an amazing teachable moment.  Perhaps it is time for some wise legislator to introduce the "Read The Bill" bill, requiring congress to read and understand all legislation prior to allowing a vote!

Did they bother to ridicule her for "We need to pass this bill to see what's in it!"?

Just being reminded of that POS smiling and walking with that large gavel on the way to pass ACA, and the subsequent panty-wetting by the left in here, still disgusts me. I even said in here let the law play out and see what happens. Man, am I sorry for that.



This country will be plucking splinters out of our hosses from that gavel for generations.

What's amazing is how many people lack a grasp on simple economics and how insurance works.  Including our President, apparently.

Not sure if "amazing" is the right word, especially since the pres had ZERO experience in managing anything. The only saving grace is that this f up is affecting those that supported this guy.

And here is a story on my last sentence.

I see what you are saying and fair enough.  But I'm not sure anything really prepares you to be President.  Maybe being Vice President?

Being a governor, running a large government agency, being a military officer, or a leader in the House or Senate can teach one how to be a leader in government.  I think roughly 1/3 of our presidents have served as governors prior to becoming POTUS.  Four out of the last six have.

Obama has proven he's a great campaigner, but he's not a very competent leader.  Even after five years, his leadership style seems somewhat aloof and tepid when it comes to decision making.  His idea of compromise is "not unless you do it my way".  That's doesn't even make him much of a politician.  Prior to becoming president he had a rather undistinguished career as a state legislator and a junior senator who didn't even complete a full term.  I've never seen anything on his resume which indicated any sort of leadership roles in his life prior to running for the White House.
