Seems like the numbers are swinging positive now that things are moving. With the technical issues and war against the bill it's no wonder support declined.

Wait until the GOP tries to take away the exemption for preexisting conditions...then think about your quote above.

My 23 year old step-son is also able to be on my insurance for a few more years. A nice thing as he's trying to find a job and with his dad dying just before he graduated college doesn't have a lot of options.

Obama's words are just some basic rhetoric. His bigger problem is that he wasn't out in front marketing the ACA all along...

Your step son could have been provided for without it costing everyone else or blowing up a system that most didn't want changed .
Obama lied when he did market the "ACA" that's the problem .

And there you have it. Obama shamelessly lies through his teeth and assaults the decency of tens of millions of Americans he swore to protect, and Spence dismisses it as "basic rhetoric".

Spence, it's a whole lot easier to demonize us, than it is to respond to what we are actually saying.

I say that Christians should not be forced to pay for Sandra Fluke's rubbers. Obama says that's because I am angry at the notion that anyone has healthcare.

We deserve so much better than this. Or maybe we don't, given that we elected this lying, Bolshevik a**ole twice.

not really sure what is considered "positive"...maybe that's more "normalized reality" talk...as of 5/4

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...oval-1044.html

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epo...untry-902.html

5/5 USA TODAY http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...o-gop/8520429/

"Views of the Affordable Care Act haven't brightened, even after problems with the website were fixed and 8 million people signed up for insurance before the March 31 deadline. In the poll, 41% approve of the law, a record 55% disapprove of it."

By more than 2-1, 65%-30%, Americans say they want the president elected in 2016 to pursue different policies and programs than the Obama administration, rather than similar ones.


I know, I know...the sources are all the usual "haters" and ne'er-do-wells throwing conspiracy theories about....

But Scott, what about the NARRATIVE? Won't someone please think about the NARRATIVE?

I have a sister-in-law who is an Obama worshipper, makes Spence look like Ann Coulter. Scary, I know. Anyway, she was telling me this weekend all the reasons why the Democrats are going to win big this November. I just smiled and walked away, hoping that all the Democrats up for election think the same thing, and therefore do nothing to prevent what's actually going to happen.
