Jim Crawford has it right, except for one thing. It is Obama that is governing like Forrest Gump, not the Republicans.

It will be Obama or the Democratic Senate that is willing to shutdown the government, just to prove that “Obamacare” is good for America.

Jim thinks that it will be good for those who don’t have insurance. However, there are more than 30 million who still won’t have coverage.

It will also cause more people to have two to three part-time jobs just to make a living. Then they are considered workers and not eligible for any insurance. However, they will either buy their own insurance or pay a fine to the federal government for not carrying insurance.

Of course, it will look good, as a person holding two jobs will be counted as two people in the employment line.

The Democrats just look the other way on our debt, after all the debt has gone up by more than $7 trillion since Obama took office. This can’t be blamed on the Republicans, as the Democrats have had control of the White House and Senate. No other president created that much debt while in office, not even President Roosevelt who was in office 16 years.

Obama’s legacy will be counted as the man who single-handedly raised the national debt more than all former presidents combined — especially if we can continue printing money.

Some of the Democrats now claim that “Obamacare” is a “train wreck” that will destroy jobs, cause insurance companies to raise rates, cause employers to work people less than 30 hours a week.

Who will you blame?

Not the Republicans, as not one voted for Obamacare.

Who is dumb enough to park a car on a railroad crossing and just sit there while a train approaches?

Looks like it is the Democrats who want to see the “crash.”
