Obama Say I Dare You to Repeal Obamacare

Obama is taunting the GOP to try and repeal Obamacare. The president is arrogant and out of touch with mainstream America. In fact, Obama tells the GOP that they went to voted for two wars that were unpaid for, voted for the Bush tax cuts that were unpaid for, voted for the prescription drug bill that cost as much as my health care bill, but wasn't paid for. The problem of Obama plight is that Bush was able to sustain it with a strong economy; 57 weeks of economic growth after Sept 11. Also, the tax cuts to business kept the unemployment around 5.7%. Obamacare cost more than the 2 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq combined. Obama increased spending during an economic turmoil and started a war in Libya without asking Congress permission. Unemployment is still at 10% (Gallup survey) and inflation is through the roof. So, there is no comparison to the matter.

(CBS NEWS) In what he thought was a private chat with campaign donors Thursday evening, President Obama offered the most revealing behind-the-scenes account to date of his budget negotiations with GOP leaders last week.

CBS Radio News White House correspondent Mark Knoller listened in to an audio feed of Mr. Obama's conversation with donors after other reporters traveling with the president had left the room.

In the candid remarks, Mr. Obama complains of Republican attempts to attach measures to the budget bill which would have effectively killed parts of his hard-won health care reform program.

"I said, 'You want to repeal health care? Go at it. We'll have that debate. You're not going to be able to do that by nickel-and-diming me in the budget. You think we're stupid?'" recalled the president of his closed-door negotiations on the bill to fund the federal government until September.

Mr. Obama said he told House Speaker John Boehner and members of his staff that he'd spent a year and a half getting the sweeping health care legislation passed -- paying "significant political costs" along the way -- and wouldn't let them undo it in a six-month spending bill.

Mr. Obama bemoaned GOP leaders' attempts to attach a measure to the budget bill which would have cut funding for Planned Parenthood.

"Put it in a separate bill," the president said he told Boehner and his staff. "We'll call it up. And if you think you can overturn my veto, try it. But don't try to sneak this through."
