Is it just me, or is it now that Obamacare has passed, Obama is starting to lower expectations on it? Here’s an excerpt from his recent speech on his “I Won” tour:
“Let me be clear, I never said this wouldn’t destroy the economy. Things will probably get worse before they get better. Much worse. You’ll probably wish you never heard of me… or at least more so than you do now. But this is all part of the plan. I never said things would get better right away. Or in the near future. Or in your lifetimes. But my plan will be working, and someday — perhaps in a far distant future with jetpacks and laser rifles — you’ll begin to see improvements in your health care. Or maybe the improvements will appear in an alternate universe where I have an evil Spock beard. The point is, this plan will work, sometime, someplace — but perhaps not perceivable to the naked eye.”
That’s quite a bit different from his rhetoric a week ago before the vote on Obamacare:
“When my health care plan passes, your insurance rates will go down 3000%. Immediately. You will be paid to be sick. In fact, the healthy will envy the sick. And if even one more person gets cancer, then my plan will have failed. But it will not fail. And gummy bears will be free from now on. And we will live as gods. Gods, I say! Gods!”
Well remember, he would rather be a completely disasterous one-term president than a really good two-term president.
I have never heard anyone so arrogant as when he was joking about the claims of our freedom being lost.
“I looked around to see if an asteroid had hit…”
Prick.
I can’t help but think of the scene in “Shawshank Redemption” when the warden didn’t understand the use of the word “obtuse.”
Well, the one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that Barack Obama will not live as a god now or ever.
Ehhh, how exactly do gods live anyway? And should the word ‘gods’ be capitalized or not, or even bracketed? If I live like a ‘god’ will I have to pay union dues, or taxes? Will I be exempt from the new health care law because of my religious status as a god? Will people have to pray to me and can they sue me if I don’t answer their prayers? Can I punish malcontents and destroy non-believers? Can I send swarms of locusts and plagues of rats and vermin against my enemies? Inquiring minds want to know.
The old bait and switch?
This was all prophesied by Joe Biden during the campaign.
Just you wait ’til people discover that Death can also take the insured!
Where is my free banaids? huh huh ?
A little Preperation H will Obama with those assteroids.
(Pregnant woman answers the door…)
“Hi. I’m from the new Ready Reserve Corps. You know, the one established by Obamacare in Section 5210 of HR 3590? As part of our disease prevention and outreach program, Ma’am, we’re canvassing your neighborhood today looking to help pregnant women.”
“So… Ah… Exactly what do you want?”
“Well, Ma’am, we you want you to know that abortion is free – and actually required by law for people in your income bracket.”
“Oh, go to hell!” (Slams door.)
(New knock on door…)
“Good day, Ma’am. I’m with the IRS and am among the recent 16,000 hired to enforce the tax penalties for people who don’t purchase insurance or pay the tax penalty under the law. We notice you have done neither. May I come in?
“Oh, go to hell!” (Slams door onto an IRS foot…)
To be even more perfectly clear, Obama will have his teleprompter loaded with random Yogi Berra quotes.
