Obamacare? BZZZT! Wrong answer.

[BDBoop]

According to a United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection poll released Monday, an overwhelming majority of Americans want Congress and President Barack Obama to focus on job creation more than any other issue — including health care.

The poll finds that by more than a 3-1 margin, voters would be “very pleased” or “somewhat pleased,” if the president and Congress worked together to create more jobs, as opposed to “very disappointed” or “somewhat disappointed.” Surprisingly, voters expressed very little partisan variation on how they hope the president and lawmakers create more jobs; 75 percent say they would be “pleased” or “very pleased” if jobs were created by reducing taxes and regulation – generally a Republican position – and 77 percent said the same about increasing investment in infrastructure projects, which Democrats tend to favor.

The findings should serve as a wakeup call for congressional Republicans, who have dedicated a great amount of their time to attacking the Affordable Care Act and its troubled rollout, and now say there is little left for them to do anything else.

According to The New York Times, U.S. Representative Reid Ribble (R-WI) even claimed that his constituents would not “want me to be overaggressive in writing new laws.” The new poll suggests that his constituents would disagree.

Besides job creation, other issues important to voters include gun and immigration reforms. According to the poll, 74 percent would be happy if lawmakers approved a proposal to expand background checks for gun purchases; only 22 percent said they would be unhappy if the legislation passed. Support for the issue split among partisan lines with nearly 75 percent of Democrats saying they would be “very pleased” if the measure passed, while only 38 percent of Republicans said the same. Still, a majority of GOP voters, 66 percent, did say they would be “somewhat pleased” by the legislation.

Looks like the echo chamber didn't get the memo. In 2010, the TPM won on "Jobs, jobs, jobs" - so again we ask, where are they? Yes, I get that they don't want to do anything that would look good for Obama. But they have constituents who do not care. It's time to work for the people who elected them, and that means strengthening the economy by putting Americans back to work.

The National Memo » Poll: Americans More Concerned With Job Creation Than Obamacare Woes

 

[Mr. H.]

The initial ACA enrollees are primarily Medicare recipients.

There are literally tens of millions of Americans yet to receive their wake-up call. Double and triple health care premiums with skyrocketing deductibles.

Sorry, ma'am. Ignoring it won't make it go away.

 

[BDBoop]

I'm sorry. You apparently didn't read the article. The bulk of Americans Don't Care.

Jobs are more important. And they're right.

That makes you wrong.

 

[deltex1]

Obamas idea of a job is to hire some negress as a navigator to transfer wealth from workers to sloths.

Tens of millions? Wow...odd how the numbers keep getting bigger and bigger. Why not just go for a kagillion?

We already knew this, so why did Obama push through the ACA?

Because any communist knows the first step in taking over a society is take over health care.

The higher cost of health insurance caused by the ACA is one of the major factors employers use in determining expansion of their work force. The bulk of Americans aren't being told that by Obama. More laws and regulations will only hinder job creation.

The Repubican house has sent dozens of job creating bills to the Senate that were tabled by Harry Reid.

That makes you ignorant of the facts.

 

[TheSeventhTiger]

The demcratic attitudes regarding those who desperately need jobs? You guys don't need jobs!, just stay home, do nothing, become nothing of yourselves,we will take care of you by giving you a 1000.00 a month, and meanwhile we will enjoy our lifestyles of the rich and famous by means of stolen tax dollars.

Despite this Obama just announced that he will support Obamacare with all the resources at his disposal, and pivot back to jobs for the 30th time next year.

 

[HenryBHough]

In a single WEEK the average dog owner spends more time walking his pet than Obama has spent in working toward job creation in FIVE years.

 

[Geaux4it]

Why does Obama, in true dictator fashion, keep hitting the campaign trail? Out there today talking about economic equality again. What a moronic socialist.

Did anyone hear the professors that testified today? Talked about National rebellion?

We need to take the country back and just may have to resort to less than desirable ways to do it

You never have read statistics right.

They do care. It is just that they care about jobs more.

The conclusions you draw only show you to be a moron.

 

[Baruch Menachem]

They cared about jobs every doggone year. That has never changed.

 

[BDBoop]

They cared about jobs every doggone year. That has never changed.

Yup. Jobs and the economy. THAT is what matters, and I never said to the exclusion of all else. But jobs are, far and away, the most important issue in America today.

What's wrong with employment statistics? I thought everything was lollipops and rainbows?

That's a dumbass interpretation! If you are out of a job, is healthcare at the top of your list? Article doesn't say they don't care, it's not their top priority....BIG difference.

Yeah, forget taking over the govt. thing first. Must be a pollack communist.

I was sort of thinking about it today. Have a whole issue up here on First Nations getting this whole outrageous deal because they were born.

If you think about it moonglow, it's true that the lower class and you guys continually say the blacks in America are in the lower class well you've made slaves of the upper 1 percent and others haven't you?

When the bottom class of society expects to be fed and housed by others that work, aren't those that work slaves to those that don't?
