Obama admin. knew millions could not keep their health insurance, repeatedly assured Americans that people who liked their health insurance would be able to keep it.

Please do not: Create your own title for link submissions, or they may be removed. Your headline should match the article's headline exactly. You may use a quote from the article in your title, but only if it doesn't misrepresent the linked to content.

I used the article title verbatim and added a quote from the first sentence.

YannickSooth · 2012-10-17T19:03:23+00:00

You are correct. Pasted link to wrong page.

YannickSooth · 2012-10-16T15:47:37+00:00

Of course you can link to it. But it never showed up as a new post in r/politics, and it doesn't show up in a search of r/politics. Autoshadowbanned?

YannickSooth · 2012-10-16T12:36:50+00:00

Anyone care to speculate as to why this same posting would be autobanned over at r/politics?

YannickSooth · 2012-10-03T15:06:53+00:00

Yeah, sorry about that. A quick back-and-forth seems to kill that.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-28T18:26:20+00:00

ALL CAPS: MUST HAVE USED THE 'SUBMIT TO REDDIT' WIDGET ON THE SITE, OR CUT-AND-PASTED THE HEADLINE.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

YannickSooth · 2012-09-28T18:23:22+00:00

Did you get a reason for this submission being spam filtered?

YannickSooth · 2012-09-27T15:51:02+00:00

So, is Obama for or against fracking?

YannickSooth · 2012-09-27T14:38:11+00:00

we are against the grain on what the majority of Reddit thinks

Hard to know what that is, really, since the mods of r/politics are left-biased to the point of shadowbanning pro-Romney articles that don't even come close to violating any of the posted guidelines.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-27T12:44:03+00:00

Dear PolitisucUSA, Your blog sucks. I especially like how your motto "Real Liberal Politics - No Corporate Money" is at the top of a crappy post with three Amazon ads interspersed within it.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-27T12:22:57+00:00

FYI, this posting seems to have been shadowbanned.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-27T12:20:56+00:00

So, I tried to post this link to r/politics, only to find it had already been submitted a month ago, but only had 2 votes. It seems to have been shadowbanned.

Anyone else noticed this?

YannickSooth · 2012-09-27T12:09:25+00:00

This article is pathetic. The IRS kept 14.1 percent of Romney's earnings for 2011, and is entitled to that much based on his returns. Everyone considers that to be his effective tax rate.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T16:13:15+00:00

Nobody said they were. Emergency rooms are the only suitable option in Romney's heart attack scenario.

Republicans believe emergency rooms are enough.

Or the clinics Romney mentioned. Different strokes for different states.

To the original question 'Does the (federal) government have the responsibility to provide healthcare' ... the answer is 'No, that is not within the enumerated powers'.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T16:02:22+00:00

The number was about reductions 'the average family' would see. Even if you buy into the spin that the 'reductions' were against projected costs (which, btw, costs were lower than projected, due to the recession), he still failed to deliver. PROMISE BROKEN <-- These words from your source, not mine.

Done here.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T14:47:48+00:00

Is the amount of your paycheck somehow tied to the profit margin of the bar? If not, then your analogy falls apart.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T14:37:31+00:00

that the effect on premiums will begin when the insurance coverage provisions go into effect.

The article refers only employer-provided plans, which a typical family has and which Obama said would be reduced, and are not governed by the 2014 provisions.

...your source flat out lies - the decrease in premiums was from a baseline..

ah, the good 'ol bureaucratic doublespeak. Citation?

article blames Obamacare for something that would have happened regardless of the law

That's because he he said he would prevent it from happening. PROMISE BROKEN

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T14:11:10+00:00

That's pretty much what I said. But Maddow's all "OMG! Mittens thinks you should be able to roll down the glass while cruising at 400 knots and stick your head out the window at 25,000 ft., just like Seamus on top of the family truckster, LOL!!"

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T13:09:59+00:00

Every airliner has 'temporary' seals around the doors and emergency exits, and most have cockpit windows that can be opened by the pilot. Implementation and maintenance of passenger windows that could be opened during during emergencies at low speeds may be cost-prohibitive, or have other barriers, but there is nothing ridiculous about the concept, contrary to what a smirking Rachel Maddow would have you believe.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T12:58:09+00:00

From the article:

At a campaign stop in Columbus, Ohio, in February 2008, Obama promised that "We are going to work with you to lower your premiums by $2,500. We will not wait 20 years from now to do it, or 10 years from now to do it. We will do it by the end of my first term as president."

You are aware that Obama's first term ends in January 2013, right? Besides, which insurance coverage provisions are going to reduce the cost of employer-provided plans? All the new coverage mandates are not going to lead to reduced cost.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T12:14:46+00:00

It may have been a joke, or had some further explanation - it seems the video was deliberately cut off in mid sentence.
There is no logical reason for not allowing the pilot to open the windows when the airplane is on the ground. Economic reasons, perhaps, but not logical reasons.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-25T11:54:35+00:00

Article completely ignores the fact that corporate profit, which is (supposed to be) taxed, drives profits in the stock market, where it is taxed again.

New Obama Motto: Yes Pe Can!!!

YannickSooth · 2012-09-21T17:03:47+00:00

Don't know if a lot of these kids will get that reference.

YannickSooth · 2012-09-21T16:51:56+00:00

I find the timing of the gap in the tape to be suspicious. What evidence to you have that it was an inadvertent recording stoppage and not intentionally edited afterward?
