But only racists are stupid enough to think he was elected because he’s black (like the one who blocked me) The late Herman Cain and Ben Carson chose the party where they had no chance at all.

Meh I think he coulda done a lot more seeing as dems controlled the house and senate but that’s besides the point. Dude ran on healthcare for all and ended up delivering “healthcare for those with 300-600 dollars a month to spend on subsidized insurance” instead @bijouxbroussard

@NoahB Are you serious ? He did a lot considering that both the GOP was actively [b]fighting[/b] him and conservative Democrats were not backing him that seriously. And unlike Trump, Obama started out willing to reach across the aisle.
And the GOP wasted seven years trying to take it apart. When they finally managed to defund it, they had [b]nothing[/b] to replace it with. Btw, the costs depend largely on your state.

Exactly, reaching across the aisle was a massive waste of time and I don’t appreciate him doing it on my dime.

Fact is he had all the cards and could have easily forced the republicans hands and time and time again he refused to. And what did we end up with for all of it? Trump. It was a bad strategy and it cost us a lot. Primarily the enthusiasm of the democratic base. Sorry but I don’t make excuses for that

@NoahB In retrospect, it’s one of the things I disagreed with, but I understood the idea behind it. To me it proved beyond a shadow of doubt, as it did to many blacks I know who were “middle of the road” that the GOP was full of racists and [b]that[/b] was their objection to him. He said he was going to reach across the aisle, because the [b]president[/b] is supposed to represent the American people, not just one party. The fact that the GOP was unwilling to cooperate [b]at all[/b] changed them from being “just another party” to the enemy, for a lot of us.

@bijouxbroussard @NoahB I actually agree with BOTH of you on this. Obama ended up doing a healthcare bill whose backbone was an individual mandate to buy insurance in the private market. You know who else supported such a plan before Obama ever did? The Heritage Foundation, Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney, and, I believe, Richard Nixon. He did the Republican healthcare bill, and Republicans called him a communist for it because he's black. And honestly, nothing sickens me more than the conservative Democrats anymore. They fight progressive policies ten times harder than they fight the policies of those racist extremist Republicans. We can elect them to get a Democratic majority in power, but if the Democrats act like Republicans, it's pointless. Though, they're slightly better on social issues than Republicans, which is a plus.

@33person Exactly right. When the ACA was Mitt Romney’s “baby” while he was Massachusetts’ governor, the GOP had no problem with it. When Obama used the same model, the GOP slapped it with the sobriquet “Obamacare” and all of a sudden he was a “socialist”. Doubly ironic, because the leftists would’ve preferred simply extending Medicare coverage to everyone, similar to the UK’s NHS.
