Michael Ramirez for April 13, 2016

I kept my doctor, I saved $7200, Congress screwed the shovel ready jobs by curtailing funds. One of the leaders of Benghazi SAID the video was partly responsible. ISIS is no where near as good as the US Military and how can you call yourself a patriot and say they ARE! PROOF OF THE CORRUPTION?

Mr. Ramirez is Spot On with this post!!!!

Want to keep your doctor, easy pay your doctor. It’s your insurance carrier who stands in the way.

The same old lies, rewarmed and served over and over again. At least you would think they would have some imagination and come up with something new every now and then.

You are describing your typical Fox News viewer, not a liberal.

Ttrruussttt me.

You still have Trump and Cruz, neener, neener.

I miss the days when people could read political cartoons and laugh.

Clinton did not intentionally endanger national security in her handling of classified information any more than any other Secretary of State. So the entire premise of this toon is a bit sill – still on the make-em-up email scandals I see. Under Obamacare you can keep your Doctor – a health care trend that pre-dates Obamacare is narrowing provider networks. Your Doctor may switch to another network, and that network may be more expensive, but this has nothing to do with Obamacare (other than the bill was weakened enough to not be able to do anything about it)The primary cause of insurance premium rate hikes under Obamacare is the requirement for insurers to cover high-risk consumers. Insurance companies can no longer deny Americans with pre-existing conditions (a good thing) By 2015 a lot of the premium growth has slowed and health care spending is curbed for the first time in the decade. The premiums did not go down, but they did not go up anymore than they would have without Obamacare. Rate review provisions and the creation of the health insurance marketplace have helped to control premium cost hikes. There were – and still remain shovel-ready jobs. When given the stimulus package – somehow there was a sharp drop in Government Infrastructure spending and states suddenly had no work. The economy was going to be boosted through infrastructure spending and when the money was made available infrastructure spending fell by a third or maybe more. Initially, top U.S. officials and the media reported that the Benghazi attack was a spontaneous protest triggered by an anti-Muslim video, Innocence of Muslims. Subsequent investigations determined that there was no such protest and that the attacks were premeditated. Captured suspect Ahmed Abu Khattala stated that the assault was indeed in retaliation for the video Innocence of Muslims.ISIS is a JV team – there are a whole series of organizations and most of them are not focused on America. When you think about a terrorist like Osama bin Laden and what he did on 9/11 – you think about what terrorism can do to our world and us. ISIS and other Islamic extremists groups are not that organized.The IRS officials were implementing laws governing tax-exempt groups. This included the Tea Party who was seeking tax exemption. There was no corruption, or mass corruption. “not even a smidgen of corruption”_________________________________________So what you are left with at this attempt to catalog the failed right-wing conspiracies are: Your premiums have not gone down in cost, they have gone up (at the same rate as before Obamacare) or have leveled off.

I was talking about Clinton, and how she was not endangering the country by putting her emails on the same kind of servers as every other Secretary of State. What about that makes me a sycophant? You believe the goal of Clinton’s email server was to endanger the country? You are the sick one.I am not up Obama’s colon, this whole issue is a non-issue make-em-up provided by the same people who make up a scandals that never come true. Tell me, what evidence do you have? Or do you have your head up the elephants backside so far you haven’t noticed your party is eating itself because they are not for anything. They are only against, and when they are against something they lie about it. And when they lie we come back with the truth and then we get this kind of whining about people being a “sycophant:” when they tell the truth.Sorry your feelings are hurt that someone isn’t trying to hurt the country, you must feel like a real patriot.

My premiums for my group plan that I carried over dropped $3,000 thanks to Obamacare now allowing me to cover just my spouse and I, as opposed to “family” rates, as my kids have been out of the house for 20 years.

Outside Tripoli, at the actual embassy, demonstrations related to the “video” WERE taking place and the Marines had to stay there (also because of our agreement with the Lybian government) and contractors were sent to Benghazi, did their job rescuing all 33 CIA employees, and sadly two were lost in the effort, it happens in war zones.

I still have my original private doctor, and with new “ACCESS” program, don’t have to travel to use VA for which I’m also qualified at permanently and totally disabled.

Obama has been killing a lot of ISIL fighters, but of course everybody on the right complains if he uses drones, right along with the “liberals”, and he’s greatly reduced the collateral damage from Bush/Cheney carpet bombing and “shock and awe” campaigns. (That Trump and Cruz want to go back to, along with illegal torture of goatherds.)

Unemployment is down at 5% from the prized bush 8-9% Obama was left with, and many people are now working only ONE job instead of two, and others have gone back to school or retired (finally) due to a healthier market. Hmm the Dow is also back up close to 18,000 from the 7,552 low of November, 2008 under Bush.

Michael again toots a horn full of bull.

“I will sign a universal health care bill into law by the end of my first term as president that will cover every American and cut the cost of a typical family’s premium by up to $2,500 a year.”

He said up to. He also misspoke..We reached out to David Cutler, an economist who advised Obama during the 2008 campaign and helped calculate the $2,500 figure that appeared in Obama’s speeches. He said the calculation encompassed total health care costs, not just premiums. These would include out-of-pocket costs, employer-provided insurance costs, and taxes to pay for public insurance programs..http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/obameter/promise/521/cut-cost-typical-familys-health-insurance-premium-/

I am surprised that Ramirez did not include the line in the sand that is Obama’s worst statement. .Most of what he has up there are just Republican talking points that are either not truth or out of contexts. Shovel ready jobs existed, some were done most were not funded. Bengahazi as a scandal is ridiculous even honest Republican say that it is a hit job on Clinton. You do not hear much about it now only in the deep dark corners of conservatism.

Congratulations to the greatest editorial cartoonist who ever lived. Now we conservatives have our own Herblock.

All panels a lie… quoted verbatim from the same mouth in official capacity.

What kind of Cadillac plan? 400/month? I was paying 3 times more for a real plan, not some junk.

Which came from the Republicans. Would you be so cross if it still was claimed by your side? Obama simply took the Heritage Foundation plan for himself..Not just yes, but HELL YES. Any side that implements such as a plan is not my side.
