Obama Threatens Veto of Obamacare as Cost Estimates Soar Above $1 Trillion  

Well...........I'm sitting here with my mouth wide open in complete and utter confusion..........I would say you are right, the bill we had forced upon us is now the OOPs you say it is..................
I hope this right..........I am praying for him/ Obams to drop the bill. Do you think he will???
I guess he finally got the message he is not God after all ! and we all knew it would increase our health care costs from the beginning. Does this man not listen??? or READ?
Still a bit confused.......let me hear from you.

I must say I am shocked. However, I would be more stunned if he actually did veto it. Everyone knew the numbers weren't adding up. I really don't know what else to say though.

Why must we, as regular Joe and Jane Americans, be forced into a cautionary tale about the perils of rushing things through on this magnitude?

I know a lot of the myLot population is for a universal-like healthcare system. I know folks have their tales of personal tragegy to coax their decisions along. But for everyone who found various little skillful ways to support this bill without coming across as a zealot, there were a few major facts that opponents pounded repeatedly and never made a dint: the switching and cutting, the process of FORCING it on us all, the fact that no one read it (and Pete knows who really wrote it!), and the sad truth that government never, ever, ever stays anywhere in the ballpark of a projected budget.

There has never been any incentive for government to act fiscally responsbile, and every piece of legislation they pass that requires taxpayer funding reflects that sad truth.

But for the poor, poor victim not being able to afford quality healthcare, the nation's detriment was well worth it if they could get medicine on the cheap. And now you mean to tell me that the ONE thing folks wanted isn't a real possibility!? No affordable healthcare? Oh, say it isn't so. Who coulda seen this coming?

Ugg. I hate going backwards on crap like this. But, regardless of how it works out, I hope this is a lesson to people that SLOWING THE PLUCK DOWN and fixing what's wrong instead of extreme makeovers is a much better way than wheeling and dealing for enough votes to shove unread sh1t down our throats just for something to hang a hat on and put in the history books.

Do we need any more proof our government is inept? I'm surprised these bozos can get out of bed in the morning.

Here's hoping something good comes out of the mess one way or another.

Actually what it means is that all of us doom and gloom and naysayers were right. So glad they passed it so we could see how much more it would cost us....

Ok, I've had a hard day...my brain is tired...but doesn't this reek of fiscal responsibility on Obama's part? He didn't say, "Damn the battelships, full speed ahead regardless of the cost!". He set an unofficial limit which, if exceded, he will veto. And that's a bad thing how? Sometimes I get so confused here.

I will refrain from saying....I TOLD YOU SO! But ooops, I said it didn't I? lol

He simply doesn't know what he's doing. And he pushes his weight around like a tyrant, scares Congress into passing this monstrosity, and lies to the American people about the cost and effectiveness, thinking we won't notice. Hurry up 2012!

Well, it does sound that way. I think he is trying to be in two places at once, on both sides of the deal. I believe that it became a matter of saving face when he was trying to pass the bill, and he had to do it. Now he is going to be "our hero" and veto it. It almost sounds like "I'm the parent, that's why."

Sure sounds like he is saying oops not what I was going for big time bo0 b00

I suppose things like this are bound to happen when Congress passes a bill without knowing what's in it.

There remains no reason to EVER believe anything that egregious criminal usurper O says. "Credibility gap" is, at this juncture, a nauseating euphemism, considering everything he does to destroy us. All that is being said is basically meaningless drivel, given his agenda of jihad, divide and conquer Western civilization from within. I guess Congress just has simply nothing else to do but spin wheels and waste words and money, since they won't just remove the illegal alien usurper and uphold their constitutional duty to protect their citizenry. Too bad they are such a rotten lot, so easily bought and sold and intimidated.
