    Brother . . . you are clueless. Perhaps a little more reading and a few less bongs will enlighten you.

    The job report is far worse then what you have here. According to the Bureau of statistics.gov in 2011 we had 116,040 (million) of full-time jobs and 28,123 (million) part time jobs. In preparation for Obamacare, employers now only employ 98 million full time workers and 47 million part time workers. There were 18 million jobs reduced to part time status.

    That may not be the dumbest most self serving statement ever made by a Demomcrat supporter but it has to be close. Obamacare is a great disservice to almost everyone especially the middle class. Before Obama care prices for insurance were high but the care you got once in the system was superlative. After Obamacare the price is even higher and the care even worse as Obama care cuts out all the best hospitals and treatment centers. Leaving the remainder overburdened.

    It has been reported that insurance companies were selling you "junk" policies while claiming they were insurance. In other words, when you went to use THIS insurance, it didn't really pay or didn't cover any of the services you needed.

    But hey, I guess scamming the average american consumer is the right thing, huh? And they do it for what? PROFITS! Of course these insurance companies don't like the federal government making them actually sell the services they are advertising. It keeps them from scamming the average american, which reduces their profits.

    Prices have been coming down.............besides the full effect of costs will not be seen for years.

    Propaganda. The only prices that are comming down are medicare and medicaid and those patients are being price out of the market because thanks to the dems reimbursemnt is inadequate to cover cost so fewer and fewer hospitals and doctors can afford to take such patients. 4 things drive medical costs defensive medicine, access, technology, and regulatroy compliance, Obamacare addresses none of those and actually makes most worse.

    Sorry, but they were selling junk policies and scamming consumers!

    Secondly, reports are showing that its decreasing, but again the full effect may not be seen for years as costs continue to come down!

    You mean after Obama scrubbed from Obamacare LAW everything that would royally (*)(*)(*)(*) off voters and negatively impact the economy in a huge way? Well yeah . . . if you first gut a harmful law of most of the harmful stuff then it will fail to have the predicted negative impacts. But it will also be a gutter law, have irritated the holy crud out of the citizenry for no good reason whatsoever, and still negatively impacted the lives of the people who had their health care policies cancelled (remember them?) and then had to go through the pain of getting new and generally more costly policies.

    That's one major reason why all the political scientists and statisticians and professional politicians are still predicting that the Dem Party is going to get one hell of a huge political shellacking at the end of this year.

    Which part of those facts are fantasy? You do know that Obama has either delayed or outright changed most of the really economically and politically damaging aspects of Obamacare law, yes? You do know that if you (illegally) either alter a law after the fact or refuse to enforce aspects of it then that law will NOT have the same impact it otherwise would have had, yes? So just where are the fantasy elements you eluded to?

    Don't buy the rhetoric from Republicans.

    GOP House? GOP Senate in 2015.....GOP House? GOP Senate? GOP PRESIDENT in 2017?

    They are NOT going to "repeal Obamacare". "Fix it"..."reform it"...."tweek it".

    But they won't keep their promise to their Base. Bet Mitt Romney's $10,000 wagering money on it.
