The American public was never for it; it never had even 51% of the country in favor of it. When it was enacted in the middle of the night, 70% of Americans were against it.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid went on the offense. In the face of most of the states coming out against it, they twisted the arms of unions, politicians and business alike. They made so many promises no one could possibly keep track. They gave concession, after concession, after concession and finally worked the opposition down to about 55%.
Then, it's provisions started to kick in. We got a chance to see it for what it really was, and why even Pelosi and Reid did not want to read it before they passed it. It was full of lies, contradictions and broken promises. The costs skyrocketed, the website failed and temporary concessions made started to run out of time. Finally, the bombshell revelation came that it was all built on lies from the outset.
More recently, union and business leaders alike have started to withdraw support, even coming out in opposition. Several strong supporters of Obama and his signature health care act, including Senator Chuck Schumer, have done a 180. There is certainly no doubt that it played a significant role in the Republican rout of Congress in November. For the first time, its mere existence has become a huge thorn in Obama's side.
Maybe Obama would prefer that we now start calling it GruberCare?
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
