How do you frame that kind of message in Mississippi and Texas?

Even more reason to repeal it. We absolutely cannot… I repeat, CANNOT have this whole thing be a success after all, and we cannot let Obama and Democrats get away with looking like they’ve done something positive for our nations citizens. We’re looking to avoid a catastrophe here.

Signed: The Republican party

Well obviously this news of so-called health care cost savings due to the unworkable fiasco called “Obamacare” is an attempt to distract attention from Benghazi.

Wasn’t there supposed to be some kind of select committee investigating that very important thing this summer? And yet, what have we heard from it? I rest my case.

Obamacare is the most progressive legislation in 70 years. Not only does it provide healthcare to tens of millions of people, but it will also provide the poor and middle class with, effectively, $10,000 per family for healthcare. Considering the median household income is around $30,000, this is a major increase in “wealth.” Not to mention: health.

And, for once, we have an entitlement for ALL age groups – not just seniors.

“The Medicare insurance trust fund will be solvent until 2030, four years longer than projected last year, according to a trustees report released Monday.”

Not if Republicans can get their way.

You don’t have to spin it. You just ignore it and toss it onto the mountain of other ignored facts, science and data that are shut out of the echo chamber.

It’s always good to see TPM get a chance to use their “Happy Obama” stock photo instead of their “Sad Obama” stock photo.

Ah, I think a little thing called Medicare might top it, but YMMV.
