FLASHBACK: OBAMA ARGUES MANDITORY TAX ON HEALTH CARE IS NOT A TAX (Video)

Here’s an Obama Flashback:
OBAMA ARGUES MANDITORY TAX ON HEALTH CARE IS NOT A TAX
From a September 2009 interview with ABC News:

Today the Supreme Court ruled the healthcare mandate is a tax.

Sarah Palin added:

Obama lied to the American people. Again. He said it wasn’t a tax. Obama lies; freedom dies.

   Just remember: You are going to pay that tax for yourself and your family and for all the black parasites currently getting their healthcare for free. Do you really think Obama and Pelosi were going to make black parasites pay insurance premiums? Do you really think they were going to make black parasites start paying taxes for the first time in their lives?

   Your Section VIII neighbors may as well be your children, except you have no authority to discipline them.

   Bill Mitchell commented:

   People, John Roberts is my hero. He just assured a victory for Mitt Romney in November. The Supreme Court ruling this law unconstitutional would be the worse thing that could have happened. Obama would have rode the victim card to victory.

   You wanted a motivated base? You wanted pissed off Independents? You got it. You wanted preening posturing Democrats? You got em.

   Today is HUGE win for us.

   Now let’s get that supermajority to repeal.

   Reaganite Republican commented:

   Obama SWORE and argued to death that the mandate WAS NOT A TAX… now it is, how bout that

   Also, the Medicare provision appears very problematic for the bill… the state exchanges can’t be forced upon the states like ObamaCare needs to work. Remember Christie refused to do it until the ruling… WELL, he won today- and other states can tell Obama NO too.

   That’s seems as disabling as if the mandate was shot down…

   MONEY QUOTE- from National Review Online in its breaking coverage:

   “…and here’s how Associate Justice Kennedy, who sided with Justices Alito, Scalia, and Thomas, put it his dissent: “In our view, the entire Act before us is invalid in its entirety.”

   You read that correctly. Justice Kennedy would have invalidated the entire law. Chief Justice Roberts saved it.”

   O… M… G…

   Bill Mitchell commented:

   I am telling you, if Obamacare had been invalidated, Obama might have won in November. Now he is NO chance. Republican GOTV just went off the charts.

   Violet commented:

   My impressions are these:

   1. Mitt Romney just lost this election. The left will be energized by this ruling and will do anything to keep this. Voter turnout and voting fraud will be massive. I fully expect violence and intimidation.

   2. The left ignores economic laws and reality. I expect economic collapse and that is just what I believe the left wants.

    MVH commented:

    Not only is it a tax, it’s the most massive tax increase in the history. With the IRS being the Fed’s personal enforcers of ObamaCare.

    No new tax? Health insurance premiums have now become a tax! So if you don’t buy what the government wants you to buy, you’ll pay a tax. Good bye individual rights.

    At least an elected official can be thrown out. But a life-time appointment…

    Bruce Brinkman commented:

    Will Mr. Obama pay this tax or will he have to pay a penalty not only for not having health care, but for being the person (used lightly) that he is trying to be.

    Linda commented:

    “Barack” makes me barf. I could not watch the whole video. Sickening, Liar in Chief. I cannot imagine how this tax will hold up when the economy tanks. Maybe we will all be forced to live on food stamps, soon thereafter to be substituted with food pills.
