They love Obamacare, but they hate Obama! Sounds hypocritical to me.
The survey found that 74 percent of Republicans said they were very or somewhat satisfied with their new coverage. Overall, 78 percent of Americans said they were satisfied: 73 percent of those enrolled in a private plan and 84 percent of those enrolled in Medicaid.
There was a minimal difference between the previously uninsured and the previously insured: 79 percent of the former were satisfied and 77 percent of the latter were, according to the survey by the group, which is generally supportive of Obamacare.
Those surveyed also reported being better off: 58 percent said that they were better off now than they were before, while 9 percent said they were worse off. And 81 percent said that they were optimistic that their new coverage would help them get the health care they need.
Following his meeting with Texas Governor Rick Perry, President Obama issued a statement saying that there are no real differences between what he an Perry wants in regards to the border security and immigration issues in South Texas. The President stated that the real stumbling block is getting Congress to act on getting things done.
“The problem here is not a major disagreement around the actions that could be helpful in dealing with the problem. The challenge is, is Congress willing to act to get this done,” the president told reporters. “The question is are we more interested in politics or are we more interested in solving the problem.”
The president urged Republicans to put politics aside and act on his request for $3.7 in emergency funding to cope with the influx of unaccompanied minors flooding across the border.
“Congress has the ability to work with all parties involved to directly help this solution,” Obama said. “This supplemental offers them the ability to work immediately to get this done.”
“I think they just drop it in there. Very carefully drop it because it wasn’t like far from the fence. They didn’t even, didn’t even throw it. Just reach from the fence, put it in there.” Those are the words of Jose Diaz of Bay Shore Long Island, describing to WABC7 what he saw when the arm was discovered.
Diaz also said “that he and his family started smelling something in their front yard on Tuesday.” On Wednesday when the smell persisted, his brother-in-law Noel Rivera went to investigate. The initial thought according to Diaz, was that a dead animal was responsible for the smell, but that thought quickly changed when Noel Rivera saw fingernails.
The Nassau County police arrived—even bringing a cadaver dog to look for more remains—as did investigators from Suffolk County, who are looking into remains found in Bay Shore. That partially dismembered body was discovered near the Fire Island Ferries parking lot. Investigators are now trying to determine whether the remains belong to a missing Brooklyn woman, who had been having problems with a landlord.
Diaz continued; “To do something like this it was a premeditated act to cut up somebody like that and drop them here and there. I want justice is done.”
Loose cannon Donald Sterling vowed in court on Wednesday to fight the NBA will all his might until his dying day. The racist Clippers owner was forced out by the league for violating owner’s rules and for being a total racist. In a deal reached by his wife to sell the team, Sterling said emphatically that selling is not happening!
Donald Sterling denounced his wife, her lawyers and the NBA from the witness stand Wednesday, saying he would never sell the Los Angeles Clippers and vowing a lifetime of lawsuits against the league.
“Make no mistake today,” Sterling shouted toward the end of his second day of testimony in the trial to determine his wife’s right to make a $2 billion deal to sell the Clippers, “I will never, ever sell this team and until I die I will be suing the NBA for this terrible violation under antitrust.”
He was followed to the stand by wife Shelly, who tried to approach him in the front row of the courtroom after she was done for the day.
“Get away from me, you pig!” Sterling shouted.
The judge then admonished him to make no further comments.
