first of alll, anyone who believes anything any politician tells them is a fool.
secondly, obama, just like every other president in the history of this country (even washington had his detractors) gets far too much blame when things aren't great, and they all get too much credit when things go well.
i wish everyone would keep in mind that congress has far more to do with peoples' daily lives then the president ever could. they write the legislation, they pass the bills that become laws, they write (or don't write) the budgets, raise or lower taxes, etc.
was obama wrong? yes.
as for the one lady with stage four cancer-joey, how many will get care who formerly couldn't, versus how many will have to change coverages? does the good outweigh the bad? will more people be helped or hurt? at least she can get other insurance, whereas before obamacare, they would have her maxed out (lifetime maximums are no more), cancelled, and no one else would have written her.
