how did the American people make him fail ? did they not vote him in ? (on false promices and hidden agendas)
many of the American people are just now calling him on his bullshit, holy moly man just take a look at his track record, as someone on here has already said how many times can he say "I didn't know". man I've told you once and I'll tell you again the guy has no business being president and it seems the more stuff he "don't know" about and the more crap that happens on his watch there are some who just keep making excuses for the guy...btw how original was that ?
Godfather.
how did you all make him fail? with so much opposition to everything does. by supporting your elected officials who oppose his every move for no other reason than partisanship. by going against affordable health care because of the greed of the powerful and masking it as fear of living in a communist regime. it's just mind boggling to the rest of the world how the united states people and government are so inately fearful of change if they perceive it to be taking their right to step on someone else fair and square.
a smart man once said "I'd rather starve than eat your bread". but that's not the american way.
Most people that are against the "unaffordable care act" had one good reason to be afraid of it...the reason being No one read it!

General Eisenhower prepared this message in the event D-Day was a failure:
“Our landings have failed and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based on the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that bravery could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”
that's when a president was a real man and had military experiance...unlike the the obama or clinton.

Interesting how you left off Bush. But then again we all know how your "unbiased." :roll:

So glad I live in a country where we work together.
this line is funny ...
how so? you don't enjoy the social programs that I do?
Where do I start ... Our health care continues to decline every year, we have people walking around need hip surgery, knee surgery, back surgery cataracts etc. who are not getting timely treatment in many cases are being fed narcotics for the pain, instead of getting them treatment. If you think 1'politician or any beauracrat working in the healthcare system is thinking of anyone other than themselves think again.
CPP ... What a joke
Old Age Security ... Another joke, they raised the age to 67, when many experts claimed they'd get the same results just by lowering the. Income threshold ... And most of these folks who will be forced to work till 67 are in labour intensive jobs and some of those folks need to retire their bodies are wearing out.
Sorry we are not doing a good job of taking care of each other, just ask the unemployed ... 50 billion was stolen from the EI fund, when the money could have been used to re train the unemployed to fill the skills shortage, brought trades training back into the schools, educated the kids got them interested in auto mechanics, electrical etc., nope money was stolen.
How about thousands who go to the ER Every year because of teeth infections because they can not afford the dental.
And on and on it goes ... Everything looks rosy if you are comfortable ... But there are far to many Canadians struggling just to get by ... Many working 2 or more jobs. And it will only get worse.
We're doing a great job.
I have certain rules I live by ... My First Rule ... I don't believe anything the government tells me ... George Carlin

it's still better than the system than our neighbours have to the south. of course when the economy tanks, social programs are going to be the first to fail. CPP was not designed with today's economics and changing social demographics in mind, so of course either it needs to be changed or deleted altogether. no one is claiming otherwise.
do we wait hours in the ER to be seen? yes we do. but at least we get SEEN without getting a $10,000 invoice in the mail we can't pay, or worse, not getting seen at all because we can't pay up front.
seriously, you think our situation is WORSE than the US? every social program has its flaws, but seriously. jesus christ.
it's not rosy for me. we are lower middle class with 2 kids. an 800 square foot house and one vehicle, with a child who has a chronic disease that needs constant medical appointments and a shitload of medication. so yeah, forgive me if I don't think we have an awesome system, even though I've been in the ER waiting room for hours on end with a sick/tired child more than you can imagine. I'd rather that than have to foreclose on my home to pay the medical fucking bills.

and it just keeps getting better.........and that's why it's called "obamacare"
"convicted felons could be hired as ObamaCare ‘navigators,’ "
Godfather.
WASHINGTON – Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius admitted Wednesday that it was possible convicted felons could be hired as ObamaCare ‘navigators,’ giving them access to personal information like Social Security numbers and addresses of anyone signing up for the program.
Sebelius made the admission in an exchange with Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas., during a Senate Finance Committee hearing. It was the second time in a week Sebelius was on Capitol Hill, forced to defend the problem-plagued ObamaCare website.
“Isn’t it true that there is no federal requirement for navigators to undergo a criminal background check,” Cornyn asked her.
“That is true,” Sebelius answered. “States could add in additional background checks and other features, but it is not part of the federal requirement.”
Cornyn pressed....., “So a convicted felon could be a navigator and could acquire sensitive personal information from an individual unbeknownst to them?”
Sebelius answered, “This is possible.”
The nearly three-hour hearing had Sebelius once again shouldering much of the blame for the rocky rollout of the ACA, commonly referred to as ObamaCare. Last week she testified before a House panel on the growing concerns about President Obama’s landmark legislation.
On Wednesday, Sebelius also acknowledged that the early enrollment figures for ObamaCare scheduled to be released next week will be “very low.”
Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Republican from Utah, demanded monthly progress reports from her.
“No more excuses,” Hatch told her. “No more spin, just give us the truth.”
During her opening statement Sebelius said, “a number of fixes have already been completed” to the glitch-ridden website HealthCare.gov.
“Two weeks ago, the tech team put into place enhanced monitoring tools for HealthCare.gov, enabling us to get a high-level picture of the marketplace application responding, and to measure how changes improve user experience on the site.”
On the panel is Sen. Max Baucus, D-Mont., who was one of the architects of the 2010 law.
Until now, Baucus has been a very vocal supporter of the Affordable Care Act, but even he has had his share of doubt in recent days over the HealthCare.gov site.
Specifically, Baucus has a problem with security testing of the site that could potentially expose millions of Americans to cyberfraud or identity theft.
Documents have surfaced that seem to indicate Obama administration officials cut corners on security testing while rushing to meet a self-imposed Oct. 1 deadline to launch online health insurance markets.
The administration has been struggling in recent days to knock back a wave of criticism that has been mounting since the rollout.
While the White House has promised the site would be up and glitch-free by Nov. 30, Baucus challenged Sebelius to beat the deadline.
“You said recently that you expect the website to be running smoothly for a majority of users by late November,” he said. “There is no room for error. You must meet -- and I prefer you beat -- that deadline.”
The last time Sebelius testified before a House committee, she fell on the sword, personally apologizing for the failures.
“Hold me accountable for the debacle,” she said. “I’m responsible.”

In reality we can say all Presidents are not meant for the job one way or another. They all do something that is not acceptable by some.
In this major digital age, with the ability to do major technological things, we've had Bush and Obama. Neither have done more good than stupid. They both failed to do their job and did not/cannot lead with common sense.

"In reality we can say all Presidents are not meant for the job one way or another. They all do something that is not acceptable by some."
Bill Clinton, in an unusually blunt critique of the sitting president, said President Obama should live up to his promise to Americans that if they like their health plans, they can keep them.
The former president weighed in on the roiling controversy about health plan cancellations during an interview with the site Ozy.com. The current president recently apologized to the public for the millions of cancellation notices that are going out -- despite him assuring Americans that, under ObamaCare, they could keep their coverage if they want.
For Clinton, the apology doesn't cut it.
"So I personally believe, even if it takes a change to the law, the president should honor the commitment the federal government made to those people and let them keep what they got," Clinton said.
Clinton defended the health care law as a whole, but explained how the broken promise on health coverage can hurt young people. He relayed the story of a young man who said his individual market plan was canceled and replaced with one whose premiums were twice as high. Though his deductibles and co-pays were lower, that savings is only realized if he gets sick, Clinton explained.
Clinton's comments could cause problems for Obama, who has resisted any major changes to the law. Obama, in explaining the cancellation notices, has clarified that under ObamaCare, policies could be canceled if they had been altered in any way since the passage of the law.
That nuance was not included in the president's initial explanations.
House Republicans, as well as some Senate Democrats, are now planning legislation that would indeed allow people losing their current coverage to keep their plans. The House is planning to vote on its measure on Friday.
The administration argues that while some are losing their current coverage, those plans will be replaced by better-quality insurance. The flip side is that they could be more expensive.
Is that why he went AWOL for two years from the Texas Air National Guard?
When you say he 'was military', what you mean is that he was all for sending others abroad to kill and be killed, whilst he himself sat at home reading children's books upside down, and playing golf.

I compare Obama's blatent lie of people being able to keep their health care to get the ACA passed to GW and Tricky Dickie Cheney blatently lying to congress to get their war in Iraq. Both lies should cause impeachment.
