Good! I'm glad that you're laughing, because you're going to need that sense of humor when you get your next tax bill...you see, I'm planning on going to the doctor a lot, and you're going to have to help pay for it.
Love the SCOTUS!!!!

This nightmare will all be over in November. Now grow up, be an adult, and do the responsible thing-- get a good job that offers health insurance instead of the McJob or welfare that you get now. We're tired of pulling the load for you.

BTW... Thank you Supreme Court for upholding the Affordable Healthcare Act and giving us health coverage!!!!
It's good thing that it passed, too, because a lot of Tea Partiers had heart attacks after the decision was handed down.

Another one who claims the occupy movement influenced the SCOTUS about heathcare.

I wonder why they couldn't control the minimun wage.

Are you saying Albany occupy controls the SCOTUS?

No, I'm saying that the SCOTUS controled the upholding of the Affordable Healthcare Act, and you should go out and get a second job to pay for my next doctor's visit.

LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe if old wheezebags like you didn't send our jobs overseas by wanting cheap foreign goods, I would be able to find a decent-paying jobs...face it, you old farts did this to yourselves. Your desire for cheaper goods now means that you OWE ME HEALTHCARE!!! And the Supreme Court says so!

You sabotaged America by buying Chinese electronics, Japanese cars and Indian labor...so now you're paying the price; namely, the cost of healthcare for those of us who's jobs YOU sent overseas. You, sir, are a traitor to America!

Baby boomers RUINED America though their greed and stupidity. Every POS foreign product that you ever bought put another nail in the coffin of the U.S. economy. You knew what you were doing, you just didn't care about future generations...you thought of YOURSELF first. Now you want to blame the youth for YOUR stupidity!!!

You're just pissed off because your stupidity in the'70s and 80's means that now you have to pony up and pay for my healthcare. I hope you enjoyed your SONY TV and Honda Civic...'cause they're gonna end up costing you a helluva lot more than you saved by not buying American.

I feel a cold coming on...get out your checkbook babyboomers.

I was in diapers in the 70's, and I still oppose you filthy parasites.

Offshoring had little to do with this... it's the lack of work ethic and sense of entitlement on the part of most of the people of my generation that has brought much of this on.

I tried to hire someone for an entry level position a few years ago... the offer on the table was $40,000 to start-- a princely sum for an entry level position with little responsibility and no supervisory duties. I had these wet-behind-the ears MBA's telling me that they couldn't possibly take the job for less than twice that. My response... "You've never DONE anything, you have NO track record. What makes you think you're worth that much?" They simply don't want to pay their dues. They seem to think that they should immediately have the same standard of living as their parents right out of the gate, and that's just not realistic.

Yes, the babyboomers are responsible for some of the financial woes, but not all of them. Generations X and Y are as much to blame. The so-called "greatest generation" and their union pensions are the biggest culprits.

To those of you who are applauding this "free" health care train, I just have one question for you: Who Is John Galt?

My father worked for a national company for 35 years; he worked eighty hour workweeks for average pay and gave the company his undying loyalty and the best years of his life. When he was 58 years old, they outsourced his job overseas...their response was that they were making a "strategic business decision which was completely legal". They even tried to declare bankruptcy in the U.S. in order to loot the pension fund, but a federal judge was smart enough to see through the maneuver.

Fast-forward to my generation. We're simply not willing to work for $40,000 a year so that some greedy businessman can drive around in a new Mercedes and rock the latest Rolex. See, people of my generation have decided that we're not willing to piss away the very best years of our lives for people like you. We've learned that - like the politicians - our votes are for sale....we're going to give our votes to the guy or gal who gives us the most, and right now that means healthcare.

So you can stick your measly $40,000 up your ass, because a year of my young life is worth a whole sh*tload more money than that! See, the problem that corporate America is running into is that the generations before us are dying off - and those were the last chumps who were willing to work their balls off for idiots like you and a sh*tty paycheck.

I'll pay the $95 penalty, get my free healthcare, and party like it's 1999.

And, before you start waving the "repeal flag", remember, there a are a whole lot more uninsured middle class and poor Americans than there are people like you...and a repeal will require both Houses AND the President's signature.

F*ck you, I'm goin' to a party.

I totally agree. We're simply making what you called a "strategic business decision..and it, too is totally legal".

Go f*ck yourself, corporate America!

You love the Chinese and Indians so much, try selling your sh*t to them and see how far you get. Remember, when you only pay people two bits and hour with no healthcare, they don't have money to buy your crap...LMAO!

Yep, you corporate morons have killed off the gold goose, and now your titties are in a ringer.

He's a fictious character, like Mitt Romney.

If you look closely at Mitt Romney, you can actually see the wires attached to the Koch Brothers.

If you look closely at Obama, you will see a highly skilled snakeoil salesman, but a totally incompetent presidential puppet of the corrupt Chicago Democratic Machine who has made conditions worse in our nation for 4 years now, because as some suspected, has absolutely no idea how to lead the nation or work with both sides of Congress, unlike Clinton was able to do...an undeserving false idol of magic hopey-changey with a malfunctioning magic wand, but a thriving band of still ignorant worshippers who have not yet joined the now majority of voters who have witnessed the mistake of their Obama gamble in 2008, and will not let it happen again.

OMG! You're a birther!That explains a lot.

I heard from some VERY reliable sources that Obama was born a white woman in Ontario, Canada. Apparently, he was secreted across the Canadian Border by the Muslim Brotherhood, who arranged for his sex and race change.

This is absolutely true...I read it on FoxNews.com and in the National Review.

Exactly...The Barry Soetoro story was a silly hoax that only Tea Party rubes would fall for. Here's the analysis from urbanlegends.com :

"The original April 1, 2009 posting date suggests it may have been intended as an April Fools prank, but given that the text does little else but parrot actual tenets of the so-called "Birther" movement (those who claim Barack Obama is ineligible for the presidency due to a forged or invalid birth certificate, etc.), it barely qualifies as satire.

•Is it really an AP news story?

No. The Associated Press ("AP") never published such a story. It didn't run in any real newspaper, nor on any real wire service. It can, however, be found posted and reposted on hundreds of anti-Obama blogs and websites.

•Is it true that the Supreme Court has agreed to hear arguments on Obama's citizenship and eligibility?

No. The Supreme Court has refused to hear the Donofrio case, not to mention every other Obama citizenship case submitted to date.

•Did a group called "Americans for Freedom of Information" release Obama's Occidental College transcripts?

No. The organization doesn't exist — or didn't at the time the above message first began circulating, at any rate. A similarly-named website went up after the fact, but there is no evident connection between that website and the fake news story.

•Has anyone released Obama's Occidental College transcripts?

No, the transcripts haven't been released (federal privacy laws forbid it), nor has any court of law "ordered" them released.(Source: Occidental College)

•Did Obama attend Occidental under the name "Barry Soetoro"?

No. Soetoro was the surname of his stepfather, but there's no evidence Barack Obama used it when he attended college. Fellow alumni quoted in the press remember him as "Barry Obama." According to an Occidental spokesperson quoted on FactCheck.org , the college has no records showing Obama used his stepfather's last name.

•Did Obama attend Occidental under a Fulbright Scholarship for Foreign Students?

No. According to various news sources Obama did attend on a scholarship, but it wasn't a Fulbright scholarship, let alone a Fulbright scholarship for foreign students. The Fulbright Foreign Student Program accepts Master's Degree and Ph.D. candidates only. Obama, an undergraduate, was neither. He couldn't have been awarded a Fulbright scholarship for foreign students even if he had been born outside the U.S.(Source: Fulbright Program)

•Did the Daily Mail discuss these "revelations" in a news story entitled "Obama Eligibility Questioned"?

No. No such story turns up in a search of the London newspaper's archive.

•Did Gary Kreep of the United States Justice Foundation release research showing Obama has spent $950,000 or more "to block disclosure of his personal records"?

I've found no record of any such "research" being published. The U,S. Justice Foundation does exist and its executive director is indeed a man named Gary Kreep, but he's on record saying the above claim is a hoax.

The fact of the matter is that specific expenditures pertaining to litigation on Obama's Constitutional legitimacy aren't a matter of public record. What are a matter of public record — and what have have been continually misrepresented as moneys spent fighting citizenship lawsuits — are the total year-to-year legal expenditures of Obama's campaign finance committee. Anyone who purports to know exactly what portion of those funds were spent responding to citizenship challenges is merely speculating.

Moreover, it's disingenuous to characterize Obama's legal expenditures on these cases as funds dispensed "to block disclosure of his personal records." While various personal documents have been requested in the filings, securing their release wasn't the point of the litigation, which aimed to have Obama's candidacy ruled unconstitutional on a variety of different grounds."

No, not a birther... but it's irrefutible fact that he was adopted by his Inonesian stepfather and used the name "Barry Soetoro" for many years.

It really doesn't matter what Obama's real name is. He has a very sketchy background - Read the Roots of Obama's Rage, or The Amature.

None of that changes the fact that he is an unskilled narcissist (along with other words that end in "ist"), and professionally unqualified to be the Leader of the USA.

That must be why he skips like he does
