   Not if the Rethuglicans have ANYTHING to say about it…

   “rethuglicans”?

   Try “everyday citizens who stand to lose out big time because of this”.

   Right now, I’m in a Catch-22 because of this. His poor handling of the economy has left me working a job that is well below my level of training and experience. I don’t get health care as a benefit, nor do I make enough money to pay for health insurance. Because of this, once Obamacare kicks in, I’ll be branded a criminal by the federal government unless I get on the public dole.

   “Rethuglicans”
   Try Politicians like McConnell who pledged to do ANYTHING to make sure Obama was a one term president, even if it meant letting the economy go TOTALLY to hell, and the middle class be dammed!
   The economy is recovering, but NOT because of Congress, but IN SPITE of Congress!

   It was good to see that some of their efforts in Congressional races also failed, but sadly , not all. We certainly will not have a functional or cooperative House, with the current leadership, but Obama can get “tougher”, and maybe in two more years, Boehner will lose his gavel.

   Please continue to post from jail after you fail to pay your health insurance bill. Meanwhile, I will be smoking my Washington state legal weed.

   Have you considered leaving your sour grapes outside when you interview? Or, do you even apply for a better job?

   I’ve been putting in wall-to-wall applications.

   But thus far, my only option is manual labor for a company I’ve worked at before; the pay is a lot better, but the conditions are so harsh that it would literally take years off of my life to work there for too long.

   Oh, get real. GOP strategists have said that they were relying on Southern white males. O’Reilly actually said out loud, on TV: "The white establishment is now the minority…You are going to see a tremendous Hispanic vote for President Obama. Overwhelming black vote for President Obama. And women will probably break President Obama’s way. " The GOP relied on racism and sexism. And it did not work, because Americans — not just “those” Americans, but citizens as much as you or I — voted against those views.
   Race and class war, indeed. The number of private and corporate jets doubled at Logan Airport yesterday — all the billionaires coming to Boston for Romney’s post-election party. And you think Obama declared a class war?

   You have yet to be definitive one what has been done that is hurting you? Very general but not up the standards I would expect of a highly educated person. So please I dare you to talk over my head.

    Join the millions in the same position. Some of them since 2001! Even PhDs. Sell it off to the lowest bidder overseas or it is gone as the economy shrinks (jobless recovery.) You can’t just place it all on Obama.
    -
    That is just a stupid partisan attack. So far you have yet to explicate yourself. So go for it.

    The Dixiecrat-Republican-Tea Party wants white males. They needed 61% to win since they burned bridges with Hispanics (use to be on their side) and many women including Republican women.

    Denying citizenship to those silly descendants of the folks who named, well, San Antonio, San Francisco, St. Augustine, Santa Fe, Tucson, etc, 200 years before the first Anglos showed up, may not be bright any more? But, frankly, those who now reject the concept that the United States is, and SHOULD BE a true “melting pot” are going to lose from now on. Both the JBS and the KKK are rowing the wrong boat.

    Evidently, Wasserman believe only George Soros and labor unions have the right to throw billions into buying the presidency.

    In a nutshell?
    []
    Had the recovery been handled properly, we’d all be back to work.
    []
    Instead, Obama decided to just throw money at the problem so that he could focus on his pet projects and his golf game.
    []
    The end result was that nothing really got done, and so in a number of places the recession is still going.

    Much like mine, your numbers don’t add up. You can get a no-frills insurance policy for under $200 a month. It’s useless unless you get really sick or injured, but that’s the whole idea of having insurance.
    
    If you really make so little money, you will be eligible for a subsidy to pay for insurance once the mandate takes effect. If you still refuse to get insurance, you aren’t a criminal, just a fool. Pay your fine, do not pass Go.
