    Admittedly, I didn't check every news website. But when 3-4 major websites had removed the articles (at least from top headlines) and replaced with random garbage, it makes you wonder. And many of the sites changed article titles from things that had far less negative connotation (Can't remember the headline on CNN earlier, but it was more negative than "Obama under siege".). I'm not arguing one way or the other, just noticed something, made the observation, and posted it. This wasn't a full-on opinion piece, nor was it an all-inclusive scientific experiment/observation. I apologize for my lack of disclaimer.

    I will say I've seen these types of things happen with Obama over the years, more so than I did with Bush.

    You have to factor in that we're now going to be getting "free" preventative care. Go in for an annual physical, regular vaccinations, the occasional endoscopy, etc. and you account for a pretty good chunk of that extra $1,000. Instead of individuals making the decision about whether then need and want to pay for these "freebies", we all get to pay for them because the Obamacrats know better than us and are forcing us to pay for them whether we use the services or not.

    What's amazing to me is how F'd up Cover Oregon is and how little play the mess of it is getting in the local media. Something like 17 states decided, like Oregon, to run their own exchanges. Oregon's is the only one that's totally inoperable as of today. Read this guest column from OregonLive and you'll understand some of the confusion and frustration facing self-employed people like me: http://www.oregonlive.com/opinion/index.ssf/2013/10/a_case_study_in_cover_oregon_d.html

    Like Obama, Kitzhaber needs to step forward and own this fiasco. Build a health exchange and apparently don't even bring in a single CPA to make sure that basic income can be calculated correctly? Fricking morons.

    Hurray! Trailblazer basketball starts tomorrow No more thinking about Obamacare! err it does occur to me that a little one on one with the SOB would be a hoot! Oh damn! Have to quit that sort of thinking. I do wish I was through with the yearly insurance sign up dance though, now the next appointment is way out, Nov 23rd. WTF? this is ridiculous! I think I will write my Senator, and suggest they scrap plans for the USS Barrack Obama, no sailor of sound mind would want to serve on it anyway. With a name like that, you might as well give it the motto
    "If you like it, you can die with it!!" The USS Benghazi Kamikaze would elicit more trust.

    Thank God for Basketball, Tomorrow! Go Blazers!

    I actually wouldn't mind as much if the money was being spent on those things. The money would be going to doctors and nurses and hospitals. Instead, it's being spent on "insurance." A good chunk of that money is going to "profit" on the insurance companies' financial statements.

    I wouldn't be too quick to mount that pony. A whole lot of people need to do more than stand for this plan. The have to buy the insurance before you count the profits.
    And most of them haven't even see noticed Yet they are going to be screw as Barrack hold their tether.

    Still looking for a Google translator to help me make sense of this sentence. I know for certain that I don't want Barrack holding my tether though.

    Well of course it is. What else can you expect when industry lobbyists write the bills for our congress to rubber-stamp?

    I hope everyone that supported this President and is getting screwed feels appropriately foolish. You know President Obama and the rest of the Democrats are having a good laugh at your expense.

    That graph is not in the Wikipedia source you cited. So, you lied. This thread contains lie after lie. That's how Republicans roll.

    Protestant leaders, especially the Southern fascist ones, conspire to oppose the values of Jesus.

    http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2013/11/08/the-obamacare-question-pastors-shun/?hpt=hp_c2

    Republicans prevent over 5 million Americans from having health insurance by keeping their states out of the program. Then they cry crocodile tears that hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose coverage. They "forget" to tell you that they're causing it for millions.

    With that one humongous lie that counters what the world knows and what the U.S. has admitted, both Scarborough and you lose all credibility in calling anyone else a liar.

    I actually looked and can find no credible link to any more than 3 men being water boarded.

    Your turn.
