Remember this gigantic load of horsecrap from President Barack Obama and his loyal comrades?
Jonathan Cohn of the New Republic doesn’t. Or, if he does, he doesn’t think it matters.
Obamacare foes kept saying 2015 premiums would “skyrocket.” Looks like they were wrong. Again. http://t.co/iOEu1HNzXX pic.twitter.com/hmhHUzOvqa

That’s right. You wingnuts said the weekly chocolate ration would be reduced, but it actually increased from 30 grams to 25!
We didn’t buy your lies then, Obamacare freaks, and we’re not buying them now.
@CitizenCohn You said it would GO DOWN $2500 a year. We were right. YOU were wrong.

@jtLOL “Looks like those stupid Rethuglicans didn’t count on President McDreamy unilaterally ignoring most expensive/unpopular parts of law”

@jtLOL my family health plan went from $1900 to $2400/m for the same ACA approved coverage. My employer said, Nope. We have NO insurance now

@LGwalt @jtLOL @simplogic I liked my plan & was told I could keep it. I was lied to & was NOT allowed to keep my plan

This is called “moving the goalposts” https://t.co/hBy7mjlDIM

@CitizenCohn premiums going up 10% is a win now? Those goalposts aren’t even in the stadium anymore.

Pretty soon they’ll be headed into orbit. And we’ll be told that’s where they’ve always been.
A promise is just a way to silence your critics. Once they stop paying attention, you can go ahead and do what you were going to do anyway. By the time they notice, it’ll be too late. For them.
Repeat as needed, for five years and counting. That’s Obama’s legacy.
