Obamacare Information

Published on June 1, 2013

Starting in 2014, Obamacare is a requirement of every American citizen. Some individuals will get Obamacare through their jobs and others will need to research and find the best health care program for them. Below you’ll find all the Emerald City Journal news topics related to Obamacare and we hope the information we provided is useful. If you’d like to post your own news, articles, or information related to the Affordable Health Care Act (also known as Obamacare) right here on our Seattle news website, please let us know.

President Obama Agenda & Laws article covers the lead up to Obamacare. Not much is known except the American people are standing by President Obama and his Affordable Health Care Act which starts in 2014. Many have argued whether he should have even been elected over the Benghazi attack but the voters do continue to support the President and his agenda & laws. You would think these issues would ruin his reputation but he was re-elected.

Obama Taking More Of Your Rights! New Gun Laws news article was written to inform you about your rights about gun ownership and does cover some information about Obamacare. It goes into a conversation about all your rights and how they are slowly being stripped away from you. Whether it’s Obamacare or other laws, Obama has a way of saying one thing then doing another behind closed doors.

How will Obamacare impact your job? A great article showing the connection between your job and the new Obamacare health program connection. Business owners are now being forced into providing health care to their employees, however, business owners are simply going to limit the employees hours (under 40hrs per week) to bypass that requirement. Since Obamacare is also a requirement of new hires working 40+ hrs per week, we are going to find that business owners are going to adjust that in their employment job offer (secretly lowing he offer) when starting a job to cover those extra health care expenses. Read how the Obamcare program may impact your employment with this news article on the Emerald City Journal.

How you could lose our job over the new Obamacare healthcare program and other information about the Affordable Health Care Act. This article is for those who voted for Obamacare and are currently employed and working full-time. With the passing of the Obama’s Health Care program you could be getting yourself fired from your job. Not a smart move voting for this in my opinion. Not to mention that if you’re every let go from you job, that would mean you’d need by by and keep medical and you’ll need to pay for it out of your pocket.

What does Dr. Kevorkian and Obamacare have in common? An interesting article about how Obamacare could be similar to the activities of Dr. Kevorkian. More of fun article regarding the topics but an interesting read for sure. Recently Dr. Kevorkian died so who will replace his efforts maybe it’s Obamacare.

Hillary Got a Free Ride At The Benghazi Hearing

Published on January 26, 2013

I seems impossible that the long awaited hearing before the House Foreign Affairs Committee turned into another free ride for Hillary and the Obama administration. They have a way or twisting and turning in the wind to try to make it look like we are picking on a black president or a white woman in power. Her emotions should not have had a thing to do with what the hearing was about. Congress should not have used this hearing to give speeches and have a photo op when they knew there would be a large TV audience. I believe Hillary was under oath, and if she wanted to take the 5th she could have. My view is she should be sitting in jail until she decides when and if to tell what happened. She had 4 months of stonewalling to prepare for this. Look at all the trips she HAD to take to Asia, then she got the flu, then she fell and got a concussion. Why didn’t she play that up a little more and say she cannot remember anything that has happened the last year (short term memory loss). She got all flustered and angry and shouted out What difference does it make? It makes a lot of difference. Lack of funds is no excuse to lie about what happened. The hearings were not just to hear how these four brave men died or to make sure it never happened again. The hearings were why did the Obama Administration say the attack was because of a video which Keep Reading

Obama Taking More Of Your Rights! New Gun Laws

Published on January 19, 2013

With almost two months in office now, President Obama continues the path to abolish anything left in this country. His shady ways of Obama care will be here shortly and I can’t wait for Americans to start complaining. They have no idea how much this is going to cost them. My response will continue to be “told you so”. The ads from H & R block are starting to run on TV how they are going to help us all out with the details and how much it is going to cost us if we decide to opt out. Doesn’t this sound fun? If you’re not in the loop a health plan is required by everyone when the time comes. What I find even more amazing is that the people I continue to talk to think this is free health care. They are wrong! It’s the “Affordable Health Care Act”. “Affordable” unfortunately isn’t defined Keep Reading

Barack Obama Re-Elected For Second Term

Published on November 6, 2012

The game is over and the masses have spoken. Barack Obama has been re-elected for a second term. At this time, it appears he will win the popular vote (barely) and the electoral vote which means another 4 years.

What will another 4 years bring us? Well I hope it was better than the last 4 years.

The Republicans will hold the House again. In short, more of the same except another 4 years. Congratulations.

This is it. The time has come where you need to make the right choice for the next President (and Washington State Measures).

Today is Tuesday November 6th, 2012 and that means the Presidential Election 2012 has started.

President Barack Obama OR Mitt Romney

Obama May Negatively Impact Your Job

Published on November 5, 2012

In a recent article for the Emerald City Journal, we spoke how voting for Obama may negatively impact your job and/or future job salary opportunities (lower offers). We spoke about David Siegel the CEO of Westgate Resorts and the email he wrote to his employees (thousands of them). Today more CEO’s are stepping forward with the same warnings that your job maybe on the line if you support Obama. This time the email is from Saddle Creek President Cliff Otto. In the email he expresses many things but it comes down to Romney’s positions on energy and taxes align with the company better.

I do think it’s fair that employees know what is coming to them. Most voters just look at the benefits (hey! free health care everyone) yet don’t understand the consequences that their employer will need to make adjustments in the company to make the numbers work and that means the possibility of cutting staff. It’s a smooth move by Romney. He expressed it on a conference call with the National Federation of Independent Business. Unfortunately, I don’t think it has really hit the voters yet or they simply don’t realize that businesses can’t just write off Obama Care they have to balance their budgets. You can’t spend money you don’t have. Companies with 100 employees would need to come up with an extra 100K per year at least for the Obama Care program and that doesn’t just grow on the money tree in the backyard.

Another email from a car part manufacturer in Michigan (Lacks Enterprises) is expressing the same consequences. It basically says that if you don’t for Romney, it could result in higher taxes and lower pay. He earges his employees to for “less government”.

Lastly, you probably have heard of Steve Wynn (Wynn Resorts). They are the third largest casino operator in America. Mr. Wynn went a step further and mailed a 60+ page packet to his 12,000 employees. Steve Wynn has stated, “It would be a complete disaster if Obama wins, which is why I’m urging my employees to vote for Romney.” It will cost Steve Wynn millions of dollars per year if Obama is elected.

Unlike David Siegel the CEO of Westgate Resorts who doesn’t come out and say it (don’t vote for Obama) more and more companies are getting stronger in their statements and making it quite clear that your vote for Obama may put your job on the line.

Presidential Election Day

Published on November 5, 2012

Tuesday Nov. 6th is the big day. It’s time for the presidential election. First up Obama with the poorest record in history or Mitt Romney and his trust funds. The presidential pick is yours – so who are you picking? I’m sure either way we are screwed but I’m putting my “hope” with Romney this round. I believe many fell the same way. I have heard many changing gears to support the other side of the team. The main reasons I will be supporting Romney is due to the fact Obama has the poorest record in history to date. You can look at jobs, economy, or gas number they are all down compared to when he started. Foreign policy is joke. Second, the republicans won’t support any of his bills which means he simply won’t be able to get anything accomplished without their support and that is not going to happen in the next 4 years should he be re-elected. Third and most importantly – Obama Care. I really don’t need the extra bills in my life which will easily be $1,000 or more per year for health care for myself. If not acquired, I will be fined (taxed without saying it) by the IRS! The IRS will manage the program by the way. It’s all just shady. The idea is also bad for jobs. Not just my job and life but everyone’s if you have one. If you’re employed now you’re job will be evaluated should Obama be elected due to Obama Care and the new business expenses involved. With that being said, my support is going to Mitt Romney.

I found myself even more engaged this year compared to any other year that is for sure. I actively participated in all the debates and listen intensively. The first debate was a game changer and just verified my reason to vote for Romney. He manhandled President Obama. The others were even in my opinion. Biden may have got the edge on Paul Ryan which I didn’t see coming. Joe Biden came off as a rude old man, however, he was more of an authority figured which hurt Mr. Ryan I think. Obama tried to get more aggressive on the second attempt however it wasn’t enough to change anything. There was one point where Mitt Romney told him to sit down and Obama did it like a scolded little kid. Third debate was even with Romney trying not to over do it while keeping everything even.

I must say I am happy to see that the presidential election day is finally here. The radio, tv, telephone message have become a real pain. I am tired of the complaining, fighting, and lying from both sides just to persuade votes. On Tuesday, all this garbage will be done with and we can move on to bigger and better things whomever our President turns out to be. I’m also excited to pick on all the mistakes of the next president who ever that maybe. Vegas odds have Obama winning by a large margin. In the event Obama does take the election (which I don’t think is going to happen), it certainly wont be by the popular vote.

September 11 Attacks In Libya

Published on September 12, 2012

Yesterday obviously was Sept 11th and a day many Americans remember fondly. It was also a secret attack in Libya focusing on the U.S Embassy in Libya. At this time, the details are sketchy, however, we do know the attack was sophisticated, took planning, and happened to fall on the same day September 11th 2012.

The attack took the life of Christopher Stevens (52) which is the U.S ambassador to Libya and 3 other Americans. The events took place at night in the eastern city of Benghazi.

Because this event was highly coordinated and perfectly timed for 9/11, I believe we’ll soon see that this was a anniversary attack and the news will report it as such. We’ve been talking about such an attack for years from Al Qaeda and here it is.

The Obama administration has stated that they are not jumping to conclusions and saying so would be “premature”, however, I am calling a duck a duck and saying it now that this was a well-planned terrorist attack.

Wait for the news to say it because it’s coming out soon.

Mitt Romney’s Election Attempt 2012

Published on February 29, 2012

As Mitt Romney continues to rise over the competition with his recent win of both Arizona and Michigan, one has to think will it be enough? In this election, I personally want to see more of a dramatic change to just the basic principles and way less government in my life. The only candidate who will provide that is Mr. Ron Paul. Unfortunately, the public isn’t ready for that yet, I guess. Perhaps another 4 or 8 years and they’ll be ready to see the light. As I said in previous posts, the force is strong with Mitt Romney. His branding is strong enough to convince people to throw votes his way. He gets the most spotlight out of all the candidates and that combined with Super Pacs/cash I truly believe he’ll get the nomination and eventually take the White House. Right or wrong, we will see shortly.

Newt Gingrich is about done at this point, finishing 4th overall yesterday. He should be stepping down soon. I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens shortly after March 6th after Super Tuesday (10 states voting). However, he may do it sooner to save himself from the embarrassment and keep his followers. Newt Gingrich may take 1 out of the 10 states, his home state of Georgia. Once there is a clearer picture of who is leading the pack, Newt will quickly endorse them and get reimbursed for his failed campaign. Ron Paul will hang on longer only to get his message out more. I believe the public realizes (including myself) he doesn’t have much of a shot but his message is what’s important at this point.

I have been seeing more and more Obama ads on the Internet (YouTube for example). Like his last election, he will make a strong push for the younger crowd and continue to use the Internet better than anyone else. He has done well at capturing that audience with him being a social media fan using Twitter. I’m not confident he’ll have the same younger support this time around though. I believe the hope and change promised (and over-delivered in his speeches) wasn’t delivered as promised during his presidency. I’m sure many would disagree with that, though.

Looking forward to Super Tuesday’s 10 states results soon.

Presidental Canidates Republicans — Candidates on the debate stage

Update: In the 2012 U.S. presidential election, Mitt Romney was the Republican Party’s nominee running against the incumbent President, Democrat Barack Obama. While Romney won a number of states and received substantial support, he ultimately lost the election to Obama.

In the Electoral College, which is the system used to determine the winner of U.S. presidential elections, Barack Obama secured 332 electoral votes to Romney’s 206. In terms of the popular vote, Obama received around 51% (about 65.9 million votes), while Romney garnered approximately 47% (about 60.9 million votes).

After the election, Mitt Romney congratulated President Obama on his victory and called for political unity to address the challenges facing the nation.

Obama blames politics for the delay on immigration – Yahoo! News (Political Discussion)

Published on July 2, 2010

Is there anything that this man will NOT blame something on someone else rather than his own ineptness? Congress is partisan because, honestly, the democrats made it that way. They put their feet down in the ’80s with Reagan and then broke their promises as politicians are wont to do. Again in the ’90s. When the republicans, first time with Clinton in ’94 were together, there was a groundswell due to previous policies, and things got done. Even Clinton recognized that things needed to be signed and he did.

Now, with 8 years of absolute vitriol hatred against George Bush and thus everything conservative (rightly so in some areas, but mostly no), these petty children of the left are trying to blame everything on the right because no one on the right agrees with them. If the ideas were so great, then all the members, sans a few, would support it. But it is NOT good. So what does the POS POTUS do? Bitch and moan that partisanship is the problem and since he is a lefty, it is clearly the right’s fault. Sheesh!

Why not stop all the legislating and go on a permanent holiday (the whole 530 members of Congress and the president)! Nothing will get passed, and I guarantee you the stock market will be above 14K. Either that, or we will have a civil war again.

good luck and good night!

Comments:

Debateguy: Maybe I should rename the trend “Blame Game Trends”. This article sums up what I believe to be the overall impression of our POTUS. Blame everyone else. Point fingers at everyone else.

Well, Mr. President. Did your mother (or grandmother as your mom wasn’t around much) not tell you that when you point your finger at someone else 3 more are pointing at you – from your OWN hand?

I cannot wait for this man to go the way of Jimmy Carter.

Jimmy: Obama and his friends love illegal immigration for a simple reason. Eventually, somehow, someway, millions of the illegals in this country will get citizenship. And they will get benefits (many are getting them now). And most important of all, they will vote, and they will vote Democrat.

Obama ain’t stupid. He knows this as well as anyone.

Unfortunately, we’ve closed this discussion because it is old.
