Obama's approval rating grows following memorable week

Lincoln was a progressive. The Republican party used to be the more "progressive" of the two parties. Then, the conservatives took over, and it's been downhill since.

You're wasting your time. :lol: I've said this before and oddly enough it seems no one wants to listen. It's too easy to blame Democrats for everything. When you try to explain the party shift to them, their eyes glaze over, and they say, "But, but DEMONCRATS!"

You can almost set your watch by it.

Interesting how segregation and Jim Cros ended in the South the same time Democratic control ended in the South....very, VERY interesting.

The South has always been conservative. They were conservative when they voted for the Democrats, and they are conservative today and vote Republican. 20 years from now, who knows what damn party they'll be voting for, but they'll still be conservative. Conservatism is ALL that matters in Dixie. The parties did switch, like it or not.

I've asked numerous of these internet conservatives when in America's history was the south EVER a bastion of liberalism.

None of them can answer, and they usually just vanish like a fart in the wind when I ask them that.

When things are bad, it's entirely Obama's fault.

When they are good, Obama has nothing to do with it.

Right Wing logic.

But Obama literally had nothing to do with the SCOTUS rulings.

Where is the evidence of your ridiculous libby assertion?

The Republican Party has been the only party standing for the Constitution since the founding of the party and its first President, Abraham Lincoln. That legacy continues today as they fight tooth and nail to stop the Democrats from burning our country's history.

Of course. Because it never WAS liberal. Just primarily Democrats, which from around 1870 to around 1945-ish, was the Conservative party. My favorite is how they swear that the KKK was formed by Democrats. :lol:

True but it is always nice when the courts strike down your opponents for you. It makes you feel vindicated and the childish whining from the other side is suddenly like music to your ears.

But your opponents struck down your opponents. Did you thank Reagan and Bush for the rulings?

I'm sure Obama would thank anyone who asks. He likes winning. Victories are still victories. Losers are still losers. Don't you agree?

He would not thank the presidents that caused these rulings?

If only he liked his party to win instead of just himself.

Yes, now that SCOTUS has ruled, if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor. If you like your plan you can keep your plan. And now health care costs will come down as well.

I disagree. Obama has always tried to work with both parties with little success until now apparently. Thanks for pointing out that the vindication of the ACA was also a bipartisan victory even if it was unintentional. You should mention that to him. It would make his day.

No, Obama specifically hates working with the democrat party. Why else would his presidency see a 130 seat swing in the house and 30 seat swing in the senate away from democrats?

Give it a break. Health plans have come and gone long before the ACA. If you want to make an omlet you need to break some eggs. There was nothing so wonderful about our HC system that it couldn't be touched. Soon most will wonder what took us so long.

S
ept. 5 (Bloomberg) -- Estimates of U.S. health-care spending for the next five years have been lowered by two federal agencies, and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is getting much of the credit.
U.S. health spending in 2019 will be $4 trillion, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services said this week, or $500 billion less than the agency projected in 2010 when President Barack Obama’s health-care overhaul became law. That announcement followed by a week a report from the Congressional Budget Office lowering its five-year cost estimates.
Obamacare has been criticized by Republicans as costly and unsustainable. Now, four years after its arrival, the law’s mandated program cuts and the medical practices it encourages -- limiting unneeded procedures, and keeping people out of the hospital longer -- are cited by economists as key ingredients in trimming the nation’s medical bill. While the recession has had an influence on the cost slowdown, it doesn’t explain it all, according to policy analysts and the CBO.

A swing is like a pendulum and in 2016 it will be swinging the other way. That is life.

What did I lie about? I made an assertion in this case that midterm elections have lower turnouts and thus they really don't represent a majority of Americans but rather the side that is more motivated, and then posted a source to back up my assertion.

You said that the only reason Republicans were in control of Congress is because of low voter turnout due to it being a midterm election. Well....weve had midterm elections that resulted in Democrats controlling Congress before as well....less than 10 years ago in fact. So you are lying to people to fit your narrative. Whats new?

What?

Millions specifically lost their health insurance. It is irrelevant if those that lost theirs later got different plans and different doctors they did not want.
