Do you really think the POTUS has time to understand details? He depends on his writers to vet the details. In this case, his writers didn't have anyone to vet with, in my opinion. There was no department, no administrative personnel, who understood the legislation.
Forget the details, Obama has zero idea of The Big Picture. He doesn't care. This is politics and power.
AND... if nobody could explain it or know it... then you don't go out and sell something that is unknown and 6% of the US economy. That's pure idiocy, and that is exactly what we have at the helm of this country.
I wish the media, politicians and the rest of us would stop playing gotcha games. I see many shortcomings in the ACA. A bevvy of changes will have to be made in order for this plan to be workable. There will be many unintended consequences, and some of them won't be pleasant.
I wish we had an honest press corps(e). That would have taken care of this abortion long, long ago... but we don't, and we have a large ignorant section of the populus that are Parasites. These are born and bred Demokrats... for it is their legislation that has created them.
**** making the plan workable. Destroy it. Defeat ObamaKare. Get rid of this feces and attack on Liberty.
Instead of you and everyone else centering your concern around this falsehood (or inexcusable mistake--call it what you will) the Republican Party should be focusing on the specific things that need to change in order to make this plan workable. It is NOT going away.
No... the Republican Party should be working to destroy ObamaKare. To eliminate it.
The USSR and Iron Curtain were eliminated... this is a bad piece of legislation that was passed by tricks. THE PEOPLE DON"T WANT IT... all it takes is some effort and guts to go at this bastard of a deal head on and rip its shallow roots out of the ground.
It was built on a lie, sold on a lie, and the lies continue.
As for Obama not knowing PART 2:
BULL...
Obama has been preaching single payer for a decade.
Obama stated it may take 10 to 15-years for Amerika to get to single payer.
Obama liked the fact it was called ObamaKare.
When you co-opt 6% of the economy; you better have a solid grasp... if not, you are unqualified... and Obama is unqualified on every front. His only qualification is as a Blind Radikal Socialists. For example, what moron tells businesses to take loans to make payroll? Obama, the economic illiterate who has zero idea how business works, has never run a business, and calls the Business Sector a foreign country.
Obama isn't interested in the dismal results. Proof? He was confronted by Charlie (?) in an interview in 2008 about Capital Gains. The journalist stated every time the rate was reduced, things got better. Obama wasn't interested in better, he was interested in "fairness"... which actually hurt people.
Obama isn't interested in results... he and his deceitful party have more nefarious goals.
