It's funny how people here are bashing Obama for doing health care...

[dennis4868]

after the stimulus and not doing more about jobs...I remember just about everyone here pushing Obama to do health care after the stimulus. Now that he did that he gets bashed by the very same people he followed....haha! What utter nonsense.

10. anyone with a lick of sense could see that people piling up in

mountains without jobs was a much more pressing concern than healthcare. how the hell can you get health care when you have no job? He was an idiot not to do the most PRESSING concern of the country. Now its biting him on the ass. A first year poly sci student could have seen this coming.

2. utter nonsense is correct

unbelievable memory loss at this place.

but the bottom fact is:
If Obama does This, he will be criticized for not doing That instead. That's pretty well been the theme since day 1 - nothing will ever be good enough.

3. A lack of responsibility for anything encourages the thought you could do it better.

I'm sure a lot of people would get an unpleasant wake up call if they ever were really thrust into that situation.

5. Obama could have made health care reform 100% better

But then he did 100% more than anyone else has since Johnson passed the Medicare Act 50 years ago.

It's especially fortunate that he got anything like the ACA through before the nutcases came into office in 2010. To hear the 'baggers now I'd imagine they'd be setting themselves afire in the town square to protest such an act these days. They've been so brainwashed that health care is some Iranian plot that undermines "their" country there would be bloody riots in the street over poor people going to a doctor.

I don't discount Obama's achievement on this issue.

In the past three and a half years I've seen so many posts here to the effect of "Why isn't Obama taking care of (fill in the blank), it's the most important thing facing the country today" that I've decided that some people will never be satisfied. If Bill Clinton were to return to office, I wonder if we'd be reading hate posts about NAFTA, Welfare reform, and Monica. I have a feeling we would if they could get away with it.

9. You got examples because I remember plenty of people complaining.
