Well fulfilled uh...one promise since in office. That being socialized medicine.
Do you really think he socialized medicine?
He really didn't. What he ended up doing was giving a hell of a big bonus the the Health Insurance Industry and screwed the people of this country, but at least he didn't put our health care under the control of bureaucrats... or did he?

Like all dupes, I doubt you have ANY understanding of Health Reform. This the FIRST control of ANY KIND of health costs.And there WILL be medicaid for everyone making less than 130% of Poverty Level, up to $28k family of four...will be the most popular legislation EVER 1 minute after being implemented. And subsidies for poor workers up to $88k family of four, AND GUARANTEED. I don't believe you knew that, just Pubcrappe- it's like a state secret on corporate media.. Hopimg for your recovery.
I am certain you don't know jack shit since you claim this is the most popular legislation ever. Hell, you are just talking out of Obama's ass and not taking time to breathe.
Do you have any idea what it has already done to the economy and to employment? Employers are not hiring because they don't know how this will affect them. What they do know is that come 2014 their health insurance costs are going to skyrocket.
Do you know what a Family policy will cost in 2014? $18,475 according to Greenbeard's numbers:

You can play with the calculator yourself.
Yes, some people will be subsidized. But even the poorest of the poor will be forced to pay for insurance coverage that they cannot afford if they make a dime more than the 133% of poverty. This one piece of legislation has by itself crippled the economy.
Health care reform takes toll on jobs - Baltimore Sun
In fact, the health care law is not only causing many businesses to drop or scale back their insurance plans — it's also preventing them from creating jobs.
A new National Association of Health Underwriters survey of nearly 2,400 insurance agents and brokers — who interact on a daily basis with employers who provide health insurance — hammers home the stark reality of the new law. More than half of brokers — 52 percent — report that some of their clients have dropped coverage altogether because of increased costs, which they attribute to health reform. Seventy percent have watched employers decrease the amount of coverage they provide, and a whopping 90 percent of firms have increased premiums for their employees.
Health reform has also caused employers to lay off workers or avoid hiring new ones. Forty percent of brokers state that their clients have eliminated jobs because of health reform, and 57 percent have seen businesses reduce hiring.
That is from people actually working in the field. It isn't some damned bureaucrat repeating the words Congress want them to say.

Marsha Blackburn: Health Care Reform is a "Jobs Killer" - Political Hotsheet - CBS News
And yes, there are some that disagree with this notion:
Fact check blames the loss of jobs on a reduction in the work force caused by
CBO, August 2010: The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that the legislation, on net, will reduce the amount of labor used in the economy by a small amount—roughly half a percent—primarily by reducing the amount of labor that workers choose to supply.
And yet farther down they admit:
To be sure, some jobs will indeed be lost, CBO said. That’s because the new law requires many businesses to pay a penalty if they do not provide health insurance to their workers. That "will probably cause some employers to respond by hiring fewer low-wage workers," CBO said. But it also said these firms may hire more part-time or seasonal workers instead. CBO did not estimate the number of jobs likely to be affected either way.
Of course, they don't say how many "some people" may be... 1 million? 5 million? 20 million?

I love this crap:
The Affordable Care Act will lead to some people not working, but most of the cases won’t be because the law is providing any disincentives to hiring.
Once again, how many is "some jobs"? Oh and the morons don't give any reason for why jobs would be lost except for these disincentives.
Oh, and cost controls? Yeah, controlled as they go straight through the roof.
Obviously you don't know what you are talking about beyond what President Obama wants to tell you.
