Mission Accomplished: “The debate over repealing this law is over”

Obama’s Rose Garden speech included an acknowledgement that the Affordable Care Act “has had its share of problems” butt did not elaborate.

But buried in the 7.1 million enrollments he announced in a heavily staged appearance is a more unsettling reality.

Numbers from a RAND Corporation study that has been kept under wraps suggest that barely 858,000 previously uninsured Americans – nowhere near 7.1 million – have paid for new policies and joined the ranks of the insured by Monday night. - Daily Mail 

Butt pay no attention to the RAND report, it’s just an epidemiological survey, generally deemed to be good enough for government work; just not in this case.

So there’s really no reason to be concerned, everything is progressing exactly as planned, comrades.

We’ll just have to make a few tweaks along the way. Then Big Guy was a bit dismissive, even derisive of all his opponents with this, the ultimate deposition:

“The debate over repealing this law is over”

Because, you know, GLOBAL WARMING!! That’s right, the law is settled, until such time as Barry deems it necessary to change it…again.

And then, because “at times this reform has been contentious and confusing…that’s part of what change looks like in a Democracy,”  and because he could, Big Guy proceeded to break just about every “no taunting” prohibition in the NFL rulebook:

Section 3 of the league’s rule book outlines the behavior that will be penalized, under the banner of Unsportsmanlike Conduct:

“Sack dances, home run swing, incredible hulk; spiking the ball; spinning the ball; throwing or shoving the ball; pointing; pointing the ball; verbal taunting; military salute; standing over an opponent [prolonged and with provocation]; or dancing.”

No spiking:

and, of course, dancing:

And I don’t think we even have to discuss “verbal taunting” do we?  Because, you know, “the Election Is Over, John. We Won."

Of course, you’re free to discuss it amongst yourselves if you wish.
