During his weekly address, President Obama declared that the Affordable Care Act “is here to stay”.
Your doctor and insurance plan? Less so.

Do I need to go through my copy of Rise and Fall of the Third Reich to get the exact quote or will you take my word for it that Hitler (could have been Himmler–maybe I should look it up) boasted that the Third Reich would last for a thousand years?
@CCO: a moment I’ve always felt was well written was in one of the British WWII documentaries shown on the History Channel, when the narrator says:
“In 1945, Hitler was dead, along with what he had termed the ‘Thousand Year Reich.’ He was off by 996 years.”
…
And another of my favorite quotes, along these lines (besides “Guitar groups are dead”) is:
Battle of Tarawa
20-23 Nov 1943
Japanese Rear Admiral Shibasaki Keiji, before the battle, assured his superiors: “A million men cannot take Tarawa in a hundred years.”
Three days later, the Tarawa operation was over.
4,690 Japanese and Koreans defenders were killed; only 17 Japanese and 129 Koreans survived the battle. The Americans suffered 1,000 killed with an additional 2,200 wounded.
From the American Heritage Picture History of Word War II: “‘Give me ten years and you not be able to recognize Germany,’ Hitler had said in 1933. It was certainly not recognizable in 1945, twelve years later. … The nation was in chaos; cities smashed, bridges wrecked, railroads cut to bits.”
… and, to the applause of the Washington Press Corps, Obama continued in his best Christina Aguilera voice:
“Hey yeah yeah, whoa yeah, whoa oh yeah
Well everybody got an opinion now, don’t they?
But it ain’t no thing to me
it really don’t make any difference now to me
if you don’t like what you see
I pay no mind to the negative kind
cause it’s just no way to be
I don’t stop to please someone else’s needs
Gonna live my life for me
I’m gonna keep on, gonna do my own thing
We all got a song that we’re meant to sing
and no matter what people say, or might think
I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or they’re hatin’ on me
I’ll still be the same president I used to be
And I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay
I’m here to stay
Whoa oh oh yeah (I’m here to stay)
Whoa oh oh yeah (I’m here to stay)
I’ve never been the type to be shy
I know that some would say I’m too headstrong
But I’d rather be a playa’ who voices his mind
Whether you think I’m right or wrong
And I know some people wanna criticize
Makes them feel better about themselves
So say what you will
Time will reveal
In the end that I will be here still
I’m gonna keep on I’m a do’ my own thing
We all got a song that we’re meant to sing
And no matter what people say, or might think
I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or they’re hatin’ on me
I’ll still be the same president I used to be
Cause I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay
Gotta get up
Keep my head up
Gonna keep on turnin it up, never let up
If I keep steppin it up, I’m a prove that
I ain’t never gonna be stopped, like it or not
Gotta get up
Keep my head up
Gonna keep on turnin it up, never let up
If I keep steppin it up, I’m a prove that I ain’t never gonna be stopped, like it or not
Woah woah woah
No matter the pressures that face me
I believe, I believe that we’ll see
I’ll never let anyone break me
All your doubt can do now is strengthen me
And life, it ain’t always that easy
Gotta fight to see past the boundaries
Crossin’ the lines I will define
Every time
That forever is mine
I’m gonna keep on, I’m a do my own thing
We all got a song that we’re meant to sing
And no matter what people say, or might think
I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or they’re hatin’ on me
I’ll still be the same prezzy I used to be
Cause I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay
I’m gonna get bold, I’m a do my own thing
We all got a song that we’re meant to sing
And no matter what people say, or might think
I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay
Gonna keep on doing my thing
Cause whether they love or they’re hatin’ on me
I’ll still be the same POTUS I used to be
Coz I ain’t going no place, no I’m here to stay

(that should be 994 years)

In 994 years, we’ll all be DEAD…from GLOBAL WARMING™!111!!!11!!!! So, what difference, at this point, does it make?
Liberals don’t think 1000 days ahead, never mind 1000 years.
