Obama’s Clusterfix

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

Like an Oval Office Pontius Pilate Obama tried to wash his hands of the disaster of his own creation affectionately known as Obamacare.

Bowing to pressure, President Barack Obama on Thursday announced changes under his health care law to give insurance companies the option to keep offering consumers plans that would otherwise be canceled.

The administrative changes are good for just one year, though senior administration officials said they could be extended if problems with the law persist. Obama announced the changes at the White House.

“This fix won’t solve every problem for every person, but it’s going to help a lot of people,” the president said.

The political calculus is classic Obama- deflect the responsibility from himself and direct it to the insurance carriers. The irony is that Obama, who was unable to construct a functional website after three years, is now sticking insurance carriers with the burden of reviving the plans they had to cancel in order to meet Obamacare regulations after those same three years. And they need to do it in days, not years.

It’s an actuarial nightmare and it is not a “fix.” All Obama is doing is taking a steaming pile of dog excrement, putting it into a plastic bag, setting it on the stoop to be taken out and rewarmed next year.

Obama’s “fix” is a huge problem to insurance companies:

Health insurance industry consultant Robert Laszewski told Fox News’ Megyn Kelly Thursday night that President Obama’s ObamaCare fix “makes everything so much worse” for insurance companies attempting to implement the new law.

Laszewski said on “The Kelly File” that the deadline for Americans to sign up for insurance coverage that will be effective Jan. 1 is Dec. 15 — a deadline the insurance industry has been working for months to prepare for.

However, Laszewski said Obama’s announcement that insurance companies can offer Americans their current plan for another year even if it doesn’t meet the law’s requirements means insurers only have 31 days to “reverse everything they have been doing.”

“Now they are saying to the insurance industry you have to turn on a dime and redo everything,” he said.

And his “fix” could make things worse:

Insurance companies already have devised plans for next year, received the necessary approval from states and begun to sell policies. They aren’t required to continue to offer their existing policies and state insurance commissioners aren’t required to approve those 2013 plans.

“Changing the rules after health plans have already met the requirements of the law could destabilize the market and result in higher premiums for consumers,” Karen Ignagni, the president and CEO of America’s Health Insurance Plans, which represents the industry.

Obama’s stopgap measure echoes the failure of his lies that you would be able to keep your plan:

Washington state’s insurance commissioner, Mike Kreidler, announced Thursday he won’t allow insurers to extend their policies, saying Washington’s state-based exchange was “up and running and successfully enrolling thousands of consumers.”

“We are staying the course,” said Kreidler, a Democrat who’s one of the longest-serving state insurance commissioners in the country.

Someone didn’t get the memo.

Still, there is arguably a greater issue in play- where does Obama get the Constitutional authority to rewrite law at this whim from the Oval Office?

Obama has already rewritten establish law. He altered the ACA when he unilaterally delayed the business mandate and additionally selectively enforces immigration laws.

Howard Dean isn’t sure where he gets the authority to offer the current “fix.”

Question: What other laws could Obama choose not enforce- the civil rights of conservatives?

Then again, it could be argued that he’s already doing that.

Rep. Fred Upton is offering a plan to that would allow Americans to keep their plans and other to buy the same.

The Republican congressman behind a proposal that would allow insurers to continue selling health plans that would otherwise be banned under ObamaCare told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Thursday his solution is “a better answer” than the president’s to fix the health law.

Rep. Fred Upton of Michigan said on “On the Record” that Obama’s solution “discriminates” against some Americans because it only allows people to keep their current plans. Upton’s bill would not only allow Americans to keep the health plan they like, it would also allow others to purchase those plans if they wished.

Obama has threatened to veto it.

I have a suggestion for Upton. He should make a few amendments to his bill, then put it in a manila folder and seal it and then bring it before the House, Senate and Obama, saying

“We have to pass it to find out what’s in it.”

At least two Dem run states are saying they will NOT allow this ”fix” ……Washington state and one other.

But, I have a question.
Obama didn’t make an executive order for this ”fix.”
He merely made a suggestion.
Insurers COULD do it, or not.
States, too.

So, where was the promise or guarantee that Obama wouldn’t penalize everyone who keeps their ”sub-standard” policy?
There is a $95 penalty for not coming up to the new standards in one’s coverage.
Where is the waiver of that?

In fact, there are no waivers to insurers, either.
At any time, like right after the midterm elections, Obama could begin penalizing insurers for doing what is still against the law for them to do: offer substandard policies!

Karl Rove on FNC made a statement about an insurance policy tax which was an issue from our school system’s chief financial officer on the ~$500,000 we need to pay to an ObamaCare fund. The following he said last Tuesday after a work session with our county council – $96,000 for the county’s healthcare coverage too. This fee/tax was not discontinued either by Obama.
********************************************************************************************
The reinsurance fee, $63 per covered life (employee and dependents) will effect all employer group health plans, fully or self insured. Most employer sponsored plans do not have a pre-existing condition exclusion. Coverage is a condition of employment.
These payments will go into a “fund” to be redistributed to insurance carriers who cover high risk (those with pre existing conditions) on the individual market.
The fee is supposed to be paid annually for three years. The rate for 2015 and 2016 has not been set.
This is just one of a number of factors that will have an impact on our healthcare cost. Needless to say, we are extremely concerned and are actively looking at all our options.

“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

He swore this – twice – in front of a judge. Isn’t lying to a federal official a criminal offense?

arrest him,
don’t you have enough, enough of breach ot the CONSTITUTION,
he think it is a fun game, he was at the begining as SARAH HAD FIGURED HIM OUT
and his a fraud NOW,

In case anyone who was wondering how Obama could wave his magic dictator’s wand and “allow” insurance companies to offer continuation of non-compliant (illegal) policies: he can’t. Not really. He can’t make the policies legal, but what he can do is tell the insurance companies he won’t prosecute them for offering illegal policies. So Obama is telling the insurance companies: “Don’t worry, it’s OK to issue illegal policies because I promise my administration won’t prosecute you.” In other words, Obama can’t make the policies legal, so he’s encouraging the insurance companies to break the law.

So encouraging the insurance companies to break the law is Obama’s big “fix”! So how’s that for great health insurance reform? Oh, yeah, and what a wonderful way to govern the country: encourage law-breaking. Given the example this President sets, why should anyone else feel compelled to follow the law about anything?

On the other hand, we all know that “Obama’s Big Fix” is impossible. State insurance commissioners are saying “NO”, and the insurance companies won’t issue illegal polices anyway due to massive liability issues. Oh, and what happens in case anyone does get to buy such an illegal policy. They’d still have to pay the “fine” because they won’t have Obamacare-compliant polices and the President didn’t give those people any “prosecutorial discretion”.

Besides, Obama himself said the reason for “Obama’s Big Fix” is ““What we want to do is to be able to say to these folks, you know what, the Affordable Care Act is not going to be the reason why insurers have to cancel your plan.”

That’s just plain despicable. Absolutely despicable. Coming up with a health care plan that requires encouraging companies to break the law, yet knowing the call to illegality is actually impossible anyway, and then on top of doing that, doing solely to shift blame from himself and the Democrats that passed this monstrosity.

Mortally ill people who’ve lost their insurance and their doctors will soon be dying because of Obamacare. Ted Cruz needs to gather a couple of dozen of these poor souls from around the nation, and hold a press conference with them surrounding him, and declare: “Mr. President, let’s tear down this Obamacare now! It’s time to repeal this monstrosity. Too many innocent people are dying already. Let’s stop the horror before more are killed by it.”

@Asok Asus, #5:

Mortally ill people who’ve lost their insurance and their doctors will soon be dying because of Obamacare.

That’s a total inversion of the truth—the sort of inversion that those who are attempting to kill the Affordable Care Act in the cradle seem to have absolutely no problem with.

Any “mortally ill” people who have the sort of policies that don’t meet the Affordable Care Act’s minimum standards were in serious trouble trouble already. Minimum policy standards were created specifically to prevent such situations.

Under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, people having serious illnesses are now assured that they can buy and keep health insurance. That certainly wasn’t the case before, when payments for medical services were routinely cut off when some arbitrary maximum was reach, or when policies were routinely cancelled upon late discovery of some “undisclosed” factor that arguably existed when the policy was applied for. Before the Affordable Care Act, if you had serious health problems you most likely couldn’t even buy insurance.

If you happened to be a seriously ill person with a substandard policy that was about to dump you because you were getting too expensive, having it cancelled with the guaranteed opportunity to buy something new that will actually pick up your expenses is probably the best news you’ve had lately. Maybe Ted Cruz could find a few of those people to talk to.

Greg
where is the plan for the over 11 millions illegalls ENTERING THE OBAMACARE,
HOW MUCH will that cost THE OTHER YOUNG HEALTHY WORKING AMERICANS,
AND IT WILL BE RAISED AS MORE ILLEGALS MAKE BABIES AND COME THRU THE OPEN BORDER,
EVERY YEAR, AND PROFIT FROM THE OBAMACARE PAID BY THE PEOPLE, WHICH IS REALLY A PEOPLE POCKETS CARE,
HE LIED AGAIN CLAIMING IT HIS OWN,

Where’s the evidence that over 11 million illegals are purchasing insurance because of Obamacare? There isn’t any. Illegal aliens aren’t covered by the law. No matter how many times it’s said that they are, it isn’t true. No matter how many times the story is exposed as false, it keeps reappearing.

@Greg: Under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, people having serious illnesses are now assured that they can buy and keep health insurance.

Greg, you conflate having medical COVERAGE with having medical CARE.
Many of the new (compliant) policies do NOT allow continuation of CARE.
In point of fact, ObamaCare’s policies redefine ”cancer” as ONLY those lesions that might cause imminent death without care.
All other CANCERS are simply called ”lesions,” as a way to cut down on medical CARE for them while they are still able to be caught in time…..before spreading.

Greg
It will very soon, as soon as he decide to turn on his next agenda on his book,

“Clusterfix”. . . priceless and well done! As for the troll . . . let him starve.

JustAl
YES,

Yeah, lol, the GOP is looking out for average Americans:

Republicans Reject Obamacare ‘Fix’ Because It Includes Too Many Consumer Protections:
http://thinkprogress.org/health/2013/11/15/2951731/upton-consumer-protections/

Koch Brothers’ Americans for Prosperity Spent Record $122 Million In 2012
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2013/11/14/2944811/americans-prosperity-122-million/

The majority of Americans are against the ACA, and the numbers are growing as they see their government in action.
The law was passed and now Obama is asking insurance Company’s to break the law by not enforcing the law and the left loves it. Unless your up for reelection.

The insurance company’s got in bed with the administration and now like Darth Vader Obama is saying “pray i don’t alter the deal further”

Any guess on how many Doc’s are planning on leaving practice because of the ACA.

@This one: This one.
Find a LINK to this resolution introduced by Rep. Rob Andrews.
I cannot find its wording, much less all of its ”consumer protections,” inside it.
Apparently you and George Soros (ThinkProgress’ sugar daddy) are the only source for such a claim.
Thanks in advance for the LINK to the wording ….. if you can find it.

@Greg:Hold on there Greg:

Any “mortally ill” people who have the sort of policies that don’t meet the Affordable Care Act’s minimum standards were in serious trouble trouble already. Minimum policy standards were created specifically to prevent such situations.

If I understand ACA, if a 62 year old man with cancer had a policy that didn’t cover maternity for him, it was a ‘substandard’ policy, regardless of the fact that it had full coverage for a 62 year old man suffering from cancer. The likelihood that a maternity coverage was not going to pay anything for him would not cause him anywhere near the problem that the loss of cancer coverage, and all other coverage will.
I realize I’m talking to a liberal that can’t add 2+2, but at the point when your policy gets canceled because you don’t have maternity coverage, you might wake up.

@Greg:

Under the provisions of the Affordable Care Act, people having serious illnesses are now assured that they can buy and keep health insurance

depends on your definition of ‘assured’, doesn’t it. Suppose you are terminally ill from 3 different illnesses and your insurance is going to cost you $7000 a month with $5000 deductable and you only make $10 an hour, uh, or that was when you were working. So tell us again what it means that he is ‘assured’ that he can buy insurance, except that ‘assurance’ doesn’t include his ability to pay for it.
Libs will wake up one day.

@Greg:

Where’s the evidence that over 11 million illegals are purchasing insurance because of Obamacare? There isn’t any. Illegal aliens aren’t covered by the law.

Really? All they have to do is go to one of the website’s, which still aren’t working, but for the sake of argument, say they can get it to work. Even if they are asked if they are illegal, all they have to do is say no. Haven’t you seen these navigators telling everyone to lie to get the cheapest coverage, telling them to not list their income or that they smoke, etc. No one is checking any of this stuff, in fact the government is paying the Navigators to tell them to lie. I guess you just assume all illegals are honest and won’t lie, OR SOMETHING. I will concede though that hardly anyone is signing up, including illegals.

@alanstorm: “I am sorry that they are finding themselves in this situation based on assurances they got from me”

By the way, don’t think for a minute that this statement is not directed at you.

@Redteam, #17:

Suppose you are terminally ill from 3 different illnesses and your insurance is going to cost you $7000 a month with $5000 deductable and you only make $10 an hour, uh, or that was when you were working.

Have you really somehow missed the fact that one important feature of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is that you can no longer be denied insurance or charged more for insurance because of pre existing conditions?

It makes me wonder what else people don’t know. One of the basic problems with the right seems to that they’re living in some alternate reality.

@Greg: Greggy, tell my why 39 Democrats in the House supported the Republican bill?? BTW if our black messiah’s signature legislation is so great why did he have to lie to America about it?? If your black messiah’s signature legislation was so good why are 5 million more without health care today than before it was implemented?? This is just the individual plans, wait until the group plans and over 50 million Americans are projected to lose their health insurance?? Why aren’t those without preexisting diseases like the young signing up for it?? Why is your black messiah asking the health insurance industry to ignore his signature legislation?? Prove your answers even though I know you won’t!!

You can’t be denied buy you may not be able to afford… and if you can’t pay, well, what happens then. I would expect the exact same thing that happens now, right?

@Common Sense, #21:

Black messiah? Three times in a single post? No racism on the right, of course. You should quit while you still imagine you’re ahead.

@Redteam: You are right. Obama and the Liberals describe any substandard policy one that doesn’t meet all of the requirements set in the ACA. I must now carry maternity, OBGYN, Pediatrics plus more that I do not need and didn’t have before. Obama and his parrots like Greg just keep repeating the words with out knowing what they mean. Remember the “four legs good, two legs bad” chant from Animal Farm? All the animals who supported the new administration (pigs) were taught the chant. They never changed it nor looked at what they were saying when the pigs started walking on two legs. Greg will chant the words until his policy is canceled or drastically increased in cost!

@Greg: NO racism just seeing if you can read!! Any answers to the question. I am ahead and NOT stopping now!! 0-blama clearly lied he even said so!! Don’t forget proof.

FROM what i read, i discover that many are in danger here with the obamacare,
they will make a standard fee for DOCTORS, which will demand cost for doctors to be accepted BY THE ACCOUNTANT
having diserve their demand of those fees SENDING IT to a bunch of government workers READING THE PAPER OR THE EMAIL, AND WILL HAVE THE TASK OF DECIDING OF THE FEE BEING IN ACCORDANCE WITH THEIR LIST,which is written by non medical expert but accountant of the obamacare, while the doctor will be most likely ask more questions to determine IF that his demand of fees are justified, he will have to take precious time to take care of that bureaucracy or employe a costly lawyer to do that task, and all that while he is suppose to be patiently waiting for his rightfull money, and been force to wait more on complicated demands for a complicated work taking longer AND NOT on their list, which will cause
the DOCTOR to be compell to enumerate the minutes details so to be repaid,and for some to be delayed and even scold for having done the right job needed by the patient who is unique with a unique case,
contrary to the list of the accountant made up for all size fit all in the money paid for any treatments which the doctor wll have to decide, or be compel to check with their list before doing an urgent task
where seconds count,
it look to me that the doctors will be harrass by some accountants sticking with the list on refund to the doctor which will be for some lower than expected and forcing the DOCTOR TO PLEAD HIS CASE TO AN IGNORAMUST,
the other part which i find very scary is the departure of the best MEDICAL EXPERTS, DOCTOR AND SPECIALIST who will refuse to that rule of A SOCIALIST DICTATOR STYLE PROBING HIS EVERY DECISIONS AND ACTIONS, by the IGNORAMUST leadership,
AND DECIDE TO LEAVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE AND KNOWLEGE ACCUMULATION, AND STAY OUT
TO AWAYT THE NEXT LEADERSHIP VOTED IN TIME FUTUR,
SO it is frightening to think who will take their place, in this kind of open borders and university diversity
of students in the medical science which they haven’t master the % minus knowledge ,
because of first their foreign mentality and upbrigning religion, and secondly: because they lack the experience of years of learning such details that only a person with many years of activity in the medical science can deliver, THIS IS THE MOST FRIGHTENING TO FORSEE, COMMING HERE,
THEY WILL BE HIRED A DIME A DOZENS BECAUSE OF THEIR NEED TO WORK AND WILL BE SOLD NOT TO THEIR PATIENTS WELLNESS , BUT TO THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, which will demand to be their priority UPON HIRING THEM,
WHO WILL FIND EASY TO HAVE THEM COMPLIE LIKE AN ARMY HAVING SWEAR AN OATH TO THEIR MASTER,

What we see here is people like Greg clinging to the promise or the concept of the law. It’s as if he has read the shiny sales brochure and is sold. However now that the law is going into effect it’s not working as planned or promised. The promises that may have sounded so great in the faculty lounge aren’t working out so well in the real world. We are now in the millions of Americans losing their insurance and a fraction of that signing up for the utopian promise of the Chicago savior. They are told their health plans were all of a sudden substandard that Washington knows better. But the protests and cancellations kept growing so on the fly at a news conference our dear leader changes the law. Who needs legislators. So let it be written, so let it be done. And yet the Greg’s of the world deny reality and cling to the sales brochure unable to concede that he never envisioned millions losing their health care and doctors. More to come next year as well. He’s living in a house of denial. But for at least 39 democrats on capital hill reality is seeping in and reality bites.

@Nan G: Your so right, went to an Oncologist for kidney stones. During his examination he flatly told me he would like to give me Prostate exam, but that government regulations prohibited him from doing so. he told me I would have to expressly ask for it. Long story short, he found a hard spot, caught just in time. Now then what if he wasn’t honest enough to tell me and just let me walk out without? Tell me now about death panels? Tell me how all this is cost related! Lets not catch in time no lets wait until it’s too late. Health care my rear end. This is let them die, or as Obama said let them take the pill.

@Greg:

Have you really somehow missed the fact that one important feature of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act is that you can no longer be denied insurance or charged more for insurance because of pre existing conditions?

You are correct, you can’t be denied or charged more due to pre-existing conditions. Instead, they are just charging everyone more. So much more in some cases, people can’t afford the new premiums. So you guys have succeeded in adding more people to medicade by destroying the policies of others.
And as mentioned above, not all of those plans were sub-standard. Not even most of them. Just nice talking points.

@Aqua: Well said!! Greggy would be all for such activity!! He’s clearly a liberal socialist who supports any and all efforts to take away freedom and pass it on to the government. Sadly he never backs up anything he says because he is clearly a liar. He still will say O-blama did not lie even though he admitted it.

U.S. states are hesitant to embrace President Barack Obama´s fix.
Washington, Vermont and Rhode Island will not allow it.
They like ObamaCare the way it was designed on paper, too much.

16 insurance departments from states as diverse as Alabama, Virginia, Minnesota, Maryland and Michigan said they did not have enough information and were still trying to decide if they will allow the ”fix,” or not.

“From a regulator’s perspective, it was a little disappointing to come up with this idea and not check with the regulators to see if functionally it was going to work,” said Wisconsin Deputy Insurance Commissioner Dan Schwartzer.

Correct, Dan.
All Obama did was extend an idea, not a law, not an executive order even.
Just a stupid idea.

So much for the talking point of the Left that these policies were being cancelled due to ordinary business conditions having nothing to do with ObamaCare!

@Nan G:

All Obama did was extend an idea, not a law, not an executive order even.

No, Nan, it’s worse than that. All Obama did was tell the health care insurance industry “We know what the law is, but we just won’t enforce that law.” That is, until after the Nov. ’14 elections when he WILL enforce the law.

But Obama doesn’t have the Constitutional authority to not enforce the laws not only passed by the Legislature, but signed into law by him. And he obviously seems under the impression that the health care insurance industry are all just too damn stupid to understand that.

So, if you are United Health Care, BCBS, Kaiser Permanente or any other insurance provided, and you have already pulled out of a state and cancelled the “sub-standard” plans, are you going to move back into that state and reoffer those plans at a great expense to your company? I doubt the industry that Obama demonized for five years is going to be so enthusiastic about kissing his ring on a false promise he can’t Constitutionally kept. Never mind that the law “is the law” (as the left loved to say) and the health care insurance industry has no guarantee against law suits from “sub-standard” policies that are not ACA compliant.

BUT MISTER PRESIDENT, what you’re asking us to do is illegal,
wink HE did, I’ LL tell them to look the other way, GIVE THEM INSURANCE FOR ONE YEAR,
AND trust me, I’ll make sure they won’t ARREST YOU,
BUT MISTER PRESIDENT AFTER THAT ONE YEAR, THEY WILL INCRIMINATE US ALL WHO GAVE BACK THE INSURANCE TO MILLIONS OF PEOPLE WHO LOST IT BECAUSE YOU ASK US TO DO IT,
WINK HE DID, SO IT WON’T BE MY PROBLEM BY THEN,

@Greg:

you can no longer be denied insurance or charged more for insurance because of pre existing conditions?

Another dose of reality for the libs. Who said they will be charged MORE?. What does MORE mean? What you forgot to interpolate is that ‘can’t be charged more’ doesn’t mean what the libs hope and think it means. Here is the reality, which will hit you straight in the face next year when your new insurance premium is tripled. It just means that the guy can’t be charged more for pre-existing conditions than YOU can be charged for the same policy. Now we all know that the insurance companies are not in business to LOSE money. So if their expenses are going up exponentially, then guess whose ‘costs’ are going up exponentially? Nope they can’t charge the sick guy more than you, so that doesn’t mean he’s going to get your cheap rate, it means you are going to get his high rate. Isn’t that going to be thrilling?
Yep, you’re going to be loving your new, more expensive insurance.

@Greg:

No racism on the right,

Remember my theory, the first one to holler racism is the racist. Want to keep hollering Greg?

Redteam
THAT IS A GOOD INFO,
many haven’t though of” at this time,
THANK YOU

@Redteam: It is amazing!! Even Oprah tried to play the race card yesterday. It’s like even though he lied to America, his signature legislation is failing, he’s increased our national debt beyond belief, Benghazi cover up, and on and on, anyone who points out these facts is a racist!! Greggy will follow the liberal socialist talking points no matter what!! Personally I don’t care of 0-blama is green the facts don’t lie!!

@Common Sense: True, but I’m not sure it ‘racism’, I think it is the liberal, secular progressive agenda to use whatever they think will reward them. There may or may not be a lot of racists in the country, but I think very few things are determined based solely on race with the exception of ‘affirmative action’ which is clearly a program to penalize existing Americans that are not black for things that never would have happened had not the black people running Africa generations ago captured other blacks and sold them as slaves. Had they not provided the product, there would have been no market.
I can’t see how Oprah’s race has been anything other than a benefit for her.

@Redteam, #35:

Remember my theory, the first one to holler racism is the racist. Want to keep hollering Greg?

The theory is bogus. The fact that someone has made an observation doesn’t make them guilty of the thing that has been observed. If it did, the police would promptly arrest all witnesses to a crime.

If Romney had been elected, an angry black person might have referred to him as “your white high priest.” The difference is that it would have been a totally accurate description. My guess is that you would have responded with an accusation of racism.

@Greg:If I read you correctly, this is an exact quote, right?

If Obama had been elected, an angry white person might have referred to him as “your black high priest.” The difference is that it would have been a totally accurate description.

Nope, Greg, I think you are about 100% inaccurate. When a person is watching another person doing something and the thing that they see and comment on is related to their race, then they are a racist. Obama was a man running for president, race had zero to do with it. If someone comments on his color then it is because they are seeing his color. That, Mr. Lib, is the definition of a racist. The fact of whether the color is stated correctly or not, has nothing to do with it.
Do you see Obama as the President of the US, or do you see him as the black President of the US? If you see him as the black President, who do you see as some other color president?
Only persons toting race cards are racist.

Redteam
we have to reckon that many vote for him only because of his black color,
that is not racist to admit it,
but the DEMOCRATS PLAYED WITH THE RACIST CARD which served as to divide the NATION,
THAT FIRST CARD WAS FOLLOWED BY THE PARTY DIVIDE CARD, DEMOCRATS AGAINST THE REPUBLICANS, THEN THEY PLAYED THE POOR AND WEALTHY CARD, AIMING AT REDISTRIBUTION,
BUT WE KNOW IT WAS TO CUT OUT THIS NATION IN MULTIPLE PARTS,
SO FOR THE CITIZENS TO DEVELOP A DISLIKE OF EACH DIVIDE,
it was to obvious to not see, plus all the negative decisions,
now it is obamacare against the socalled bad over charging INSURANCES COMPANY ,
SO TO PUT THEM OUT OF BUSINESS TO TAKE OVER THE WHOLE MARKET TO SERVE HIS AGENDA OF CONTROL ALL THE USA BIG ENTREPRISES WHICH DRIVE DOWN ALL THE COMPANIES FROM
BEING SUCCESFULL JOB MAKER, FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE,
WHERE WE ARE FINDING NO DIVIDE THERE,
TELLING US THAT IS THE GOVERNMENT WHO ARE THE GUILTY OF HAVING TURNED THE PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER, AND THE CONGRESS AGAINST THE WHITE HOUSE ,
YES THEY START BY DIVIDING THIS USA,FROM THE BEGINNING,
THEY WANTED THE USA TO BE CUT IN MORSELS INSTEAD OF WHOLE AS SHE REALLY IS SUPPOSE TO BE, SINCE THOSE TWO CENTURY UNITED BY THE ONLY ONE CONSTITUTION,

@Redteam, #40:

If I read you correctly, this is an exact quote, right?

No, you read incorrectly. Your quote is not exact.

Nope, Greg, I think you are about 100% inaccurate.

Mitt Romney is both white, and a High Priest of the Order Of Melchizedek. He is, in fact, a white high priest.

Do you really believe that referring to Obama as “your black messiah” three times in the course of one angry paragraph isn’t suggestive of a preoccupation with race? Unless I’m misreading, that was intended to be insulting, so black is hardly intended to be neutral or a compliment.

If people dislike the racist label, maybe they should consider dispensing with the race baiting insults. In other words, zip up your damn fly, and people will stop pointing out that you’re leaving it open.

@Greg: Poor Greggy, can’t take it anymore eh?? Out of all the comments you hang on that one. You missed the part about not caring if he where green eh!! President Barack Obama is a failed President who lied to America!! Truth hurts eh?? Don’t need to hear about President George W. Bush either!! BTW, your still and idiot with a liberal socialist government perspective. Try answering or proving your comments one eh?? BTW, my fly is open but my junk isn’t getting near you mouth which is full of KRAP!!

Greg
since when is the word black is racist to pronounce,
and you see racist because of repeated, so where is the wrong in there,
he has been acting as if he his the MESSIAH ACCORDING TO SOME,
to only say your MESSIAH would have been an offence to the real MESSIAH JESUS,
and JESUS FELL THREE TIMES, THAT OFFEND AND HURT ALL WHO LOVE HIM,
so what is wrong to mention the black messiah which is use by many, to make a point,
and 3 times AS OFTEN AS THE COMMENT ASK FOR, so what”s the offence, HE IS NOT A MESSIAH,
you like to point things and attribute a wrong meaning to it, but you failed,
OH BY THE WAY, ZIP UP YOUR OWN FLY SO YOU DON’T PISS ON THE OTHER

@Greg:

No, you read incorrectly. Your quote is not exact.

I think you’re wrong, I think it was exactly correct.

Mitt Romney is both white,

You think Romney is white? What color is printer paper? Are they the same color?

Do you really believe that referring to Obama as “your black messiah”

I didn’t refer to Obama as any color of anything, I’m not a racist and don’t see racism unless someone like you starts babbling about it then I recognize that you’re only doing it because race is some kind of criteria for you. Maybe one day you will judge people by the content of their character rather than the color of their skin, and get away from judging people by their race.

@Redteam: I will NEVER DEFEND Greggy because it’s idiots like him why we have a failed President who lied to America but the “black messiah” comment is on me!! Poor Greggy though, he’s just beside himself because all his arguments are never proven but lies just like 0-blama!!

@ilovebeeswarzone: Poor Greggy ran out of real arguments long long ago!! He may be on suicide watch just like 0-blama’s administration!!

@Redteam, #46:

I think you’re wrong, I think it was exactly correct.

That’s easily enough settled. Compare what I posted in the last paragraph of #39 with your “exact quote” in #40. Are the words the same or different?

I didn’t refer to Obama as any color of anything…

No one said you did. My comments in post #22 were in reference to post #21, as was clearly indicated.

This discussion has wandered off topic and become too silly to bother continuing. Neither of us is 10 years old, correct? Although every time someone starts referring to “Greggie,” I find myself beginning to wonder.

@Redteam: Poor Greggy finally ran out of juice, of course he did long ago!!
