A Nod To The Gods

Obamacare is the perfect name for it because “Affordable Care Act” is an oxymoron, it’s not making health care more affordable, it’s driving up costs.  Once again Obama, using all of his knowledge and wisdom gleaned from his vast experience as a community organizer, has destroyed a flawed but workable health care system. His name should be all over this monstrosity along with the other libs in Washington who shoved it down our throats.

Sad thing is, congress and theirs staffs have exempted themselves from it, how convenient. Maybe they should ask a UPS or Forever 21 employee what they think of the new law. Oh, that’s right, they don’t care, does not effect them.

UPS is dropping spouses insurance coverage due to Obamacare.

Rising medical costs, “combined with the costs associated with the Affordable Care Act, have made it increasingly difficult to continue providing the same level of health care benefits to our employees at an affordable cost,” UPS said in a memo to employees. According to Kaiser, UPS told white-collar workers two months ago that 15,000 working spouses eligible for coverage by their own employers would be excluded from the UPS plan in 2014.

* Congress, staff, to keep federal health premium payments

* Ruling aimed at avoiding “brain drain” on Capitol Hill (Adds comments from Republicans, Pelosi, edits)

WASHINGTON, Aug 7 (Reuters) – Congress has won some partial relief for lawmakers and their staffs from the “Obamacare” health reforms that it passed and subjected itself to three years ago.

In a ruling issued on Wednesday, U.S. lawmakers and their staffs will continue to receive a federal contribution toward the health insurance that they must purchase through soon-to-open exchanges created by President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law.

The decision by the Office of Personnel Management, with Obama’s blessing, will prevent the largely unintended loss of healthcare benefits for 535 members of the Senate and House of Representatives and thousands of Capitol Hill staff.

When Congress passed the health reform law known as Obamacare in 2010, an amendment required that lawmakers and their staff members purchase health insurance through the online exchanges that the law created. They would lose generous coverage under the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program.

 

Any Questions??

Only three? These guys are from a different generation , so I am surprised many more of them don’t jump on board. And note at the end where the “writer” wines about someone not wanting to visit Obama, basic liberal media member not understanding why people can’t stand the current POTUS.

 

On Tuesday, the 1972 Miami Dolphins will pay a visit to the White House that’s more than four decades overdue, but when Larry Csonka, Mercury Morris and Co. finally hit Pennsylvania Avenue, they’ll be doing so without a few of their former teammates.

According to the Sun-Sentinel, at least three ex-Dolphins won’t be visiting the White House because of their dislike for President Obama, and two more “are on the fence about going for the same reason.”

“We’ve got some real moral compass issues in Washington,” former center Jim Langer told the paper. “I don’t want to be in a room with those people and pretend I’m having a good time. I can’t do that. If that [angers] people, so be it.”

Bob Kuechenberg, the starting left guard on the ’72 team, echoed Langer’s opinion, saying, “I want to be careful, because mom said if you have nothing good to say about someone, then don’t say anything. I don’t have anything good to say about someone. “I don’t belong there, I’ll tell you that,” Kuechenberg continued. “Without being critical, I can just tell you I don’t belong. It would be hypocritical of me to be there. I don’t want to do that. I just don’t believe in this administration at all. So I don’t belong. Anyone on the left or the right has to respect one man’s opinion.”

Defensive tackle Manny Fernandez took a more simplified approach, telling the Sun-Sentinel, “I’ll just say my views are diametrically opposed to the president’s. Enough said. Let’s leave it at that. I hope everyone enjoys the trip who goes.”

Langer, Kuechenberg and Fernandez aren’t the first to turn down a trip to Washington out of spite for the president, and they won’t be the last. But it’s a shame that anyone ever does it. You would never see a president — any president — withhold an invite based on political sentiment, and to deny making a visit on that basis seems like an unnecessarily refractory statement to make.

In this case in particular, it’s been a trip 41 years in the making, and any Dolphin who can be there should be there — out of respect for their teammates and an accomplishment that has yet to be duplicated or properly celebrated.

Egypt – let it burn

Syria – let it burn

Lybia – let it burn

Iraq – let it burn

Afghanistan – let it burn

 

Foreign policy 101. What the hell do we want from these countries? What do we have to gain? Oil?

We got our own…fuck ’em.

 

Obama’s weekly address 8.17.2013

. . . They’re actually having a debate between hurting Americans who will no longer be denied affordable care just because they’ve been sick – and harming the economy and millions of Americans in the process. And many Republicans are more concerned with how badly this debate will hurt them politically than they are with how badly it’ll hurt the country.

A lot of Republicans seem to believe that if they can gum up the works and make this law fail, they’ll somehow be sticking it to me. But they’d just be sticking it to you.

Any questions?

The sign this women made speaks volumes, she can’t spell, has at least thirteen kids, claims to be a potential victim.

Anyone who states that Obamas speech on climate change is remarkable is most certainly in the liberal fold. Good luck coal industry.
