Democrats Lie About Obamacare's "Health"

While the below item highlights the lies the Democrats tell us about the health of Obamacare it is no different from those like claiming Republicans are holding Obamacare as hostage so they can shut down the government.  And they lie by not highlighting or even acknowledging serious problems with the law such as the CBO's estimate of the rising costs of the program from Obama's original promise of $0.9 trillion to $2.6 trillion today.  How can they lie like Obama does in the first few sentences of the article is beyond me.  Take note of the chart near the end of the article.  Obamacare proponents from the President on down must think we are really, really stupid.  What an insult for those of us concerned with the nation's fiscal health, ballooning taxes (Obamacare is the most expensive tax increase in American history) and the efficacy of our personal healthcare costs and services.   And remember that it was Obama who told us while campaigning for office that he would not raise taxes on the middle class.  Another one of his lies.   http://freedomoutpost.com/2013/09/democrats-continue-lie-obamacare-train-wreck/   

On a somewhat related note check out how the President "cooperates" with Republicans who he claims are the source of all his administration and the nation's problems.  He, of course is completely blameless for the mess the country is in.  He gives absolutely no credit to anyone who disagrees with him, regardless of political party.  Anyway, the below item notes that he called House Speaker Boehner (one of the uncooperative and unreasonable Republicans he rails against on a daily basis) to tell him that he Would Not negotiate with him on the matter of raising the nation's debt ceiling.  That must be his way of demonstrating how cooperative and reasonable he is.  Meanwhile he does not listen to the Republicans and others who are pleading with him to help the nation get its fiscal house in order and to stop spending money we don't have.  The President, on the other hand, believes that we must raise the debt ceiling in order to be able to borrow the money he needs to spend on cost prohibitive programs such as Obamacare.  To heck with the consequences.  Do you see even a scintilla of logic in that?   http://www.politico.com/story/2013/09/barack-obama-john-boehner-debt-negotiations-97153.html?hp=l1
