Who's At Fault?

Obama is blaming Fox News for 2/3 of the country disliking Obamacare. Here's Neal Cavuto's explanation and it is great. If you don't understand what is bad about ObamaCare please read his comments and you will understand.

Mr. President, Fox News isn't what's making Americans sick about your healthcare law. Your healthcare law is. Welcome, everybody, I'm Neil Cavuto. And excuse this departure from form. But I think this is just poor form. So, it's time we set some things straight.

Mr. President, we at Fox News are not the problem. I hate to break it to you, sir. You are. Your words are. Your promises are. We didn't sell this healthcare law. Sir, you did. Remember this?

President Barack Obama: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period.

Mr. President, tell that to tens of thousands of retirees at IBM and Time Warner and dozens of others, who've been dumped from their coverage and told to find their own coverage. Fox News didn't break that news to them, Mr. President. Their companies did.

Fox News didn't push more of those firms to hire part-time workers.
 Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't incentivize fast food restaurants to scale back their benefits. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't make doctors want to opt out. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didn't make insurance premiums sky rocket. Your healthcare law did. Just like Fox News didn't grant hundreds of exemptions to companies that needed them. You did. And Fox News didn't delay one key provision after another, including online enrollment for those small business exchanges. You did.

Just like it wasn't Fox News that said we had to pass this to see what was in this. You did. Or was that Nancy Pelosi? Sometimes I'm confused. But of this I am not. Fox News didn't re-do basic math. Sir, you did. Fox News didn't say you can cover 30 million more Americans and not see a hit in premiums. You did. Fox News didn't say you could throw in those with pre-existing conditions and not have to pay for it. You did. Fox News didn't all but say you could get something for nothing. You did. Fox News didn't come back years later and say, oh yea, we did raise some taxes. You did.

Here's where you are right about Fox News, however, Mr. President. We can do math. And did. You cannot. And did not. We said it, and proved it. You didn't. And we're all suffering for it. Take it from the numbers guy at Fox. Numbers don't lie. The number of Americans working part-time and nervous. The number of retirees days away from being dumped on exchanges and anxious. The number of company bosses with any news to pass along on those exchanges, but still clueless. The number of doctors who want out. The number of congressmen now opting out. No, Mr. President, none of those numbers lie.

But with all due respect sir, I can only conclude you do know; I know, I know you hate us at Fox. But please take a look in a mirror, and fast. You think we're the skunk at your picnic. But that doesn't mean we're the ones that stink. Because that smell isn't coming from the folks reporting on your law. Mr. President, that smell is your law.

If 2/3 of the country hates Obamacare so much then why did the guy it's named after easily win re-election last year?

JoeAlbero said...

Because they rigged the election, just like the local one. Or do you actually believe Obama won the second time around?

Anonymous said...

I would hardly call it winning "easily". As Joe stated he won with dead people and illegal immigrants voting for him. With an approval rating of 37%, its pretty clear this nation no longer supports his fasict regime. It's time for this so called man to hang it up. IMPEACH OR REMOVE by any means necessary!

Amen, I couldn't have said it better. And I've said all along the election was rigged. So why hasn't Obama been impeached and thrown out of office for so many wrong-doings? The administration is corrupt, period!

I don't believe for a second that obama was lawfully re-elected, but then again, i don't believe he was lawfully elected the first time.

JoeAlbero said...

Oh, and didn't Jimmy win by 2/3 as well? Yet WBOC, WMDT and the Daily Times continued to report throughout the entire day Albero was ahead 2 to 1. Hmmmmmmm. Even the Daily Times admitted after the election to me personally that not a single person in their building believed Ireton won the election. But hey, look at it like this. I'm in Ocean City living on the water and enjoying each and every day of my life. Ireton, well, he still doesn't know who or what he wants and lives a lie. Just because Ireton and Mitchell started an anti campaign against Debbie Campbell well in advance, do you actually believe this nobody of a citizen actually beat her out the way the results ended???? Come on people, use your heads. It was YOUR election to lose and one thing is for sure, YOU lost BIG.

Oh let's blame Fox News. Gotta blame someone/something.
It's time people faced the facts. obama is a clueless nothing. He's done nothing productive his entire life and EVERYTHING he touches turns into a cluster.

Please keep in mind, even though 2/3 don't like obamme, those same 2/3's will think hillary is a saint and vote her into office. Then you have the same thing again!

On healthcare.gov Facebook obama and the dems are getting a slapdown of all slapdowns.
People are screaming about how unaffordable obamacare is.
The dems should have listened to the republicans-LOL!

So when will your complaint be filed with the State Board of Elections, Joe? (or if you're concerned they'd be biased against you, a national watchdog group)?

Did you just call Jake Day a "nobody citizen", Joe? Pretty low. I've been pleased with him as a local official. I'm not a city resident, but he seems to be doing a good job. Not sure about most of them, but I'm happy with this one at least. Let's hope time doesn't change him.

So he is basically saying that 2/3 of the nation is watching Fox News? If that was the case the election results would have been much different.

lmclain said...

He "won", not "easily" either, by making tremendous promises and building up hope and being as vague as possible in every other instance. NONE of those promises have been kept. He has never touched a ting that has worked as he promised. Remember what Stalin said --- to convert a country to a socialist entity, one of the first things to do is socialize medicine. the people can be controlled if that happens. Guess what we are sliding downhill into? "Hell" is an acceptable answer...the ruling elite are on the sidelines laughing at the working class (Obama care is so bad, they just about broke their legs running from it). Keep cheering this loser....obamacare can't fix stupid.

Every civilized country in the world has socialized medicine. If you don't like Obamacare that's perfectly understandable, but talking about socialized medicine in general as some unspeakable evil betrays your ignorance.

He won by lying also which he does pathologically and is the only thing he is proficient at.
He is an absolute disgrace to the black race and is an example of why the black communties are in shambles and have gotten progressively worse under his term. Don't believe me just look up Tavis Smiley who is actually an obama supporter (finally an honest one) but says obama has been utterly useless when it comes to black issues and their so many problems they are facing.

3:48-You obviously haven't lived in another country. I have. I shall start naming a few for you. France, Great Britian, Monaco, Switzerland and many more.
FYI-In all those countries and every single other worldwide, people are lined up outside of US Embassies everyday attempting to obtain a Visa to visit the US. Many many for medical treatment.
Secondly to compare other countries medical systems to obamacare is ludicrous. Insurance companies are not involved anywhere else as they are in the US w/obamacare.

Yeah...and watch as the people from those countries come to AMERICA to get the life saving operation they can't get where they live...even the Canadian Premier went to Florida for his heart surgery...people die on those countries waiting on a list. Socialized medicine might be great--as long as you don't get sick!

My friend's husband is a Diagnostic Radiologist and an Oncologist. Many years ago he left a very successful practice in a large nearby city and opened a practice on the Canadian border.
The practice grew exponentially month after month. Overwhelmingly Canadian citizens.

I've always said obammy stole the 2nd "election" using a computer program.

Joe, don't you or anyone else remember the testimony that was given in some kind of hearing, (I forget which,as my memory is not that good), that was said there was a computer program available that could change the any vote given?

If someone voted for candidate A, the program could count the vote as being for candidate B.

It was also stated that it would be undetectable unless someone actually got inside the main program language and knew enough to see the code.

This hearing was BEFORE the 2nd "election". And that is why I believe what I believe.

If you don't remember this, I would be more than happy to search it out and find it. (IF it is still available) Which it SHOULD be, just saying.

Let me know, if you're interested.
