If ObamaCare would promise to cure a delusional President Obama, I just might support it.

By Rachel Peepers

Certainly, ObamaCare, as a 2,600 page piece of booby trap legislation, has its problems, but so does the guy who’s demanding Congress vote for it. Could it be that Obama’s mental state is bound to suffer because there are so many bad ideas bound within the Bill? Bad ideas even he can’t defend? You think? Perhaps you caught the apparent contradiction when the pro ObamaCare forces were pushing their legislative train wreck this past week?

A guy came on Fox and, having not just his talking points but the kind of speaking patterns and appearance that reminded me of a senile old lady, dished about the ways ObamaCare would lower costs, reduce the deficit: One point he raised struck me as especially telling. Specifically, this guy said that the uninsured would no longer go to emergency rooms for medical problems. Which, to me, goes against the implication that 30 million uninsured Americans are going without the care they need. Truth is, the vast majority are getting the care they need for free. Either at emergency rooms or free clinics. Or simply getting doctors’ care and not paying for it. Sure, the paying public ends up footing the bills, but that’s okay with me if the alternative is a budget busting, premium soaring, governmentally controlled, trillion plus dollar healthcare reinventive abortion. To jam this distasteful prescription for medical chaos and catastrophe down the taxpayers’ throats, Obama demands an up or down vote on March 18.

Well, since when does the Constitution give a Presidential pipsqueak or any other President the power to make congress meet his demands? There’s a little thing called separation of powers which, unfortunately, hasn’t stopped our gloriously progressive President from separating himself from reality. ObamaCare or not, how much longer can we permit this chain smoking and hard liquor drinking, delusional President to go untreated? Somehow delusional and trigger finger on enough weapons to destroy humanity don’t, how shall I put it? Don’t go together like Astaire & Rogers, like bacon and eggs, like Lennon and McCartney. Unless, of course, one’s idea of a symphony for the senses is a world wide series of mushroom cloud visuals and accompanying booming soundtracks.

  2. "how much longer can we permit this chain smoking and hard liquor drinking, delusional President to go untreated?” First, the people who voted for him have to be cured of THEIR delusions. The question remains: how did someone so UN-American get elected?
