Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 22, 2013
The President has some very serious questions to answer. Will he tax the American people if they cannot or choose not to buy health insurance from a Web site that doesn't work? Will he insist upon penalizing them for withholding their personal information from a government database already rife with privacy concerns? Will he continue to demand patience, blame technical glitches, and dismiss legitimate concerns from the American public while ObamaCare's broken launch dominates headlines? Will he give lenience to those in his administration who are responsible for these failures? It is true that ObamaCare's individual marketplace launched just 3 weeks ago; but 3 weeks or not, the American people would like some assurance. If government can't get its act together administering health insurance, will Americans get taxed for opting out? The fair answer is certainly ``no.'' I hope President Obama agrees. ____________________
