Obama Dares Republicans To Show Their Obamacare Replacement Before Repeal

[Lakhota]

If it’s really better, the president says, he’ll endorse it.

President Barack Obama on Friday issued a stark, simple challenge to Republicans who want to repeal Obamacare: If you really have a better alternative, show it to the American people first.

“If they are so convinced they can do it better, then they shouldn’t be afraid to make that presentation,” Obama said, even promising to vouch for such a plan.

“I’m saying to every Republican right now, if you in fact can put a plan together that is demonstrably better than what Obamacare is doing, I will publicly support repealing Obamacare and replacing it with your plan.”

Obama made the comments during a live, wonky interview with Ezra Klein and Sarah Kliff of Vox. The interview took place at the Blair House, the residence across the street from the White House where, famously, Obama presided over an eight-hour bipartisan discussion of health policy in early 2010, shortly before Congress passed what would become the Affordable Care Act.

He's gonna have to wait until it's passed to find out what's in it. Turnabout's fair play.

 

[dcbl]

Obama should just do what is proper and within the boundaries of presidential protocol. No other outgoing POTUS in the history of the US, has done as much meddling and posturing as Obama. its beyond inappropriate

Obama is not going to get his way. Congress will not do anything until well into the term. Of course Obama will view this as an act of defiance. His ego is that inflated.

Obama does not realize he no longer gets to say "you will comply"..

/--- Obozo shoved the Obozocare nightmare on us. He has no right to demand anything. That scumbag will be gone along with his legacy.

Obama: I double dare you!

Trump: You are no longer president fool, secret service remove this clown from my sight.

Obama: I double triple dare you...hey get your hands off me I'm Obama...

I agree, Mr. President. What are Republicans afraid of?

Sorry. Mr Obama wouldn't show his before it was voted on, so there's no reason the Republicans should either.

Never set a precedent you're not willing to have the other side use as well.

 

[pismoe]

who would want his endorsement ??

 

[Fueri]

Pubs ignored him for 8 years, I think they can do another 2 weeks.

 

[Coyote]

He's gonna have to wait until it's passed to find out what's in it. Turnabout's fair play.

We had a pretty good idea what was in the ACA before it was passed.

The poor dumb bastard thinks he's still relevant.

Is that why they had to rely on the stupidity of the American people?
