12 ridiculous things Obama said during his press conference Thursday

Obama announced he would allow insurance companies to continue offering current plans that otherwise would be terminated under Obamacare for at least another year, but also offered up his fair share of analogies surrounding the law’s failed rollout."

How Obama Is Killing Jobs | Conservative ByteConservative Byte: "Five years on and President Obama still refuses to assume responsibility for his woeful economic record. The buck stops with Republicans, other countries, changes in the weather, etc.—anywhere but the Oval Office. Of course, it’s not new having a chief executive who refuses to admit failure. What is rare is having a news media that does not hold the President accountable."

Official numbers released Wednesday showed that only a quarter of the expected enrollees signed up for the health care exchanges. "So, as much as the White House is trying to avoid getting Congress involved in, for instance, dealing with trying to fulfill this promise, if you like your plan you can keep it. They want to vote on it. They want to show that they had to force the president to fix it," Todd claimed."

The Patient Affordable Care Act is an unprecedented catastrophe in the making.

While millions of Americans are losing their health care coverage within weeks, the health care exchanges advocated by Obamacare supporters are in shambles. So far, a little over 100,000 people have signed up. Moreover, what’s important to understand is that none of these people have yet paid a premium, so in essence, those are preliminary numbers. When the monthly bill comes due, we’ll see how many people actually have the money to pay the exorbitant new rates."
