ObamaCare Ruling is no OJ Verdict

ObamaCare Ruling is no OJ Verdict, by Kevin Jackson

Obama had a big day for presidency and his legacy, which means America must pay. Despite saying jobs was his priority for 3+ years, Obama instead pushed his chips “all in” on ObamaCare. Most people expected 5-4 decision, just not the decision we got.

The black Conservative was in the bag for the right, because black Conservatives, true black Conservatives are as dependable as the sunrise. The Left had its shills. The Latina and the ambiguously gay justice would go their way, so no surprises there.  So the fate of his landmark bullying of taxpaying Americans came down really to two  judges, Kennedy and Bush appointee Supreme Court Justice Roberts.

You all know the outcome. Roberts sided with the Left, and actually rewrote the legislation, so it could pass.

I was headed to the airport on my way to Texas to appear on GBTV when I got the news of the Supreme Court ruling on the radio. I had about an hour and a half to mull over the decision, since I was at 37,000 feet and on mandatory media lockdown until the plane landed in Dallas.

What could Justice Roberts have been thinking? I read an interview with one of Roberts’ former colleagues and according to him, Roberts was big on his legacy.

The colleague spoke of “The Roberts’ Court,” then of Roberts’ career as an attorney, and how Roberts was pragmatic and purposeful. The outcome of the ruling didn’t surprise him, because he felt that Roberts would want to make sure the Court looked good, without making the president look bad, or some such poppycock.

Twice that day I had heard “legacy” in describing this legislation. Obama wants a legacy, Roberts wants a legacy, well America has a legacy.

Our legacy is written on parchment paper and on the blood-soaked soil of America. Instead of Obama and Roberts focusing on their legacies, I suggest they focus more on preserving America’s legacy.

As I walked through the terminal, I decide to take an informal poll. I saw three black guys at a shoeshine stand, and stopped to ask what they thought of the ObamaCare ruling.

“What ruling,” asked one guy?

“ObamaCare. It was upheld by the Supreme Court,” I replied.

“Oh. Nah, I didn’t know about it,” said one, and the others nodded.

I asked a black lady in her early 30s waiting on her luggage, and she appeared perplexed.

“Oh they voted on that today?”

“Yes,” I replied. “Out of curiosity, do you think black people will see this as a big deal?”

“Well people need healthcare, but nah, not really, she confided.”

The rental car courtesy bus driver was equally in the dark. As he and I had a bit more time to talk, I found out that he was in his 50s and had been to the doctor only a few days ago. He said that healthcare is on his mind more than most, because he’s having medical issues.

I asked if he felt he was the norm, and he said that he didn’t.  He agreed with me that black people tend to live more in the moment, and were more concerned about the things they needed to do daily. He added that we were all hustling, and healthcare wasn’t generally part of it.

I wanted to know his thoughts about the case, and its impact on the black community, and asked him.

He confirmed what I had heard earlier from other blacks that the news would not be a big deal among blacks. He added that whatever government does usually ends up not helping black “too much.”

My poll was informal, but I believe that Obama’s big day was pretty much just another day for the black community.

Remember when the OJ verdict was about to be read? I recall watching TV along with the estimated 150M others, and seeing the throngs of onlookers glued to public TVs. The media cameras were trained on the onlookers to watch the reaction as the verdict was read. “Not guilty.”

When that verdict was read, blacks in America erupted. As the commenter in the video said, “Long distance phone calls dropped. Trading on the NY Stock Exchange dropped.

Conservative America watched with all the anticipation of the OJ verdict. We got the same result, because the passage of ObamaCare was a miscarriage of justice. Obama had gotten away with murder.

But there would be no celebration by black people. In Obama’s biggest moment as president, black people were silent. No big f’g deal, as Joe Biden said when they passed this obscene legislation.

The Conservative movement knows what happened; yet again it will be up to us, not legislators, not Supreme Court justices concerned with their legacies to fix this problem.

Obama believes he has a good hand, a full house as it were. But a full house won’t be the straight flush he gets right out of the White House.

That’s my rant!

    And just like OJ, Obama will think he can get away with anything afterward, and it'll backfire on him. It's really not as bad as it seems, now that he has to defend it as a tax increase.

    Let's not forget the momentum we've had during the last few weeks, especially after Walker won the recall vote in WI.

    • tick

      You just got smoked, stoopid.

      • Meshuggahboy

        At least I can spell "stupid", you idiot. If anyone got smoked, it's the whole country that got smoked by your race card puppet, dickhead. All you morons care about is a short-term gain for yourselves no matter what the cost to the rest of the country. Just be ready for the footprint to show up on your pants in November – that is, if they're not riding on your knees like those of a typical Obama supporter.

        • tick

          guess you never heard of "te stoopid" that's the left's nickname for dumbsh*ts like you who vote against their own best interest cuz Karl Rove and Fox News told 'em to

          • theblacksphere

            And you likely wonder why you are called "tick!" LOL

          • Meshuggahboy

            Wow, I'm really impressed – the entire left doesn't know how to spell, so that's why you can't either. Your own best interest – your tax refund as a result of all your baby-mommas – is going to disappear because of this, but you're "te stoopid" to realize it. I guess you'll have to hope for more crack sales out of your Section 8 unit, you cockroach.

            You chose an appropriate name as a typical leftist douche, you are a parasite and a drain on society. Might I suggest some names for your future trolling expeditions? Try leech, flea, worm, scabies, lamprey, mite, Aunt Zetunia, Moochelle….

    iReporter Hillary Ohm, an Obama supporter, said she doesn't agree with the individual mandate because the uninsured can hardly afford to live as it is. Ohm, who is a small business owner with state-subsidized health insurance in Washington state, said she prefers a single-payer system because she thinks it would take the profit out of health care resulting in lower costs.

    Please note: A small business owner who has : STATE SUBSIDIZED health insurance. WTH?

    • theblacksphere

      Sure, because the government is chalked full of great information…on how to steal taxpayers money.

        Finally, had the time to sit and read your book, it was great.

    • ant

      Everything I know I learned from government;
      - Unemployment and food stamps are the best economic stimulus money can by.
      -Treason can only be committed by white men, and attempt at justice for the treasons of a black man are 'partisan politics'.
      - We have to pass Bills first so we can find out what'sin it.
      - Petitioning government for a redress of greivances is 'racist Nazism'.
      - We were the first to land a man on Mars…thanks Ms. Jackson-Lee.
      - illegal immigration is the backbone of the economy.
      - Everything is 'Bush's fault'.

        You forgot:, "The private sector is doing fine."

        • ant

          That's right. There's just so many 'pearls of wisdom' from our leaders, I forget. Like, the Islamic Spring will break out into democracy. Disarming ourselves will cause peace. Occupy speaks for the majority…"God bless them". Oh, so many.

    • Woneta

      How about actually reading the bill and not take other opinions for granted. If you have not read the bill yourself then you are in for a surprise. The media is not telling the truth. This is the biggest scam on the American people in our history, the catch is he designed the tax part not to go into effect until 2014 after the election and the people are ta
      xed into oblivion and no more American dreams.

      Screw healthcare.gov……………. The GOV is in charge of the VA hospitals… you wanna know how they act……… check it out. …doofus !

    • Angie

      Try getting your nose out of the president's bottom and wake up to reality – how do you think our country is going to pay for this? Why do you think the president had to lie to get it passed – because it is horrible for everyone, especially the middle class!! I am so sick of people like you who do not have a clue yet want to call names to those who are actually informed and trying to inform others….what a joke! Again, thank you Kevin for being a voice of reason!!

  • ant

    Oh, I forgot to add;
    - government providing for every aspect and need of every American and Mexican reduces deficits.
    - First Couples who insist on raising the health insurance costs of our troops are 'Fighting for military families'.
    - Women, with behinds as big as city buses, a taste for pies, ice cream, and hot wings, and NO certification as a nutritionists or any other related field (aside from kicking the poor out of their hospital) are experts on the diets and health of 300 million people.

    • ant

      -A President who's own auto-biography is almost exclusively drenched with racial obsessions is 'post-racial'.
      - The TeaParty is astroturf, but paying illegal aliens and bums with no knowledge of what they are protesting is 'grass-roots'.
      - Criticism of Democrats is 'inflammatory, dangerous rhetoric', but Black Panthers calling to 'hunt down and kill all the crackers' are whispered sweet nothings.
      - Hallmark cards hate black people.
      - Nancy Pelosi appears to be dating Rep.Lewis (the man who got spit on but didn't) for they are once again holding hands in solidarity against justice and representing the People (uh..I mean peasants)
      - "Taxes' are Washington talk, that only our 'betters' are equipped to think about, the People (idiots) don't care about taxes. (We're all too busy watching 'Glee')…..more elitist, moonbat wisdom from Pelousy.

    Yep, and all those good times, peace, prosperity and change we were gonna see when Obama got elected. Just like BigGovernmentCare, Obama was gonna benefit us all, remember? Still waitin'…………………………………………….

  • Guest woman

    from the Canda Free Press:

    The poor will still be on medicaid
    The old and infirmed will still be on Medicare
    Military Vets will have the VA.
    Illegals still won’t have to pay.
    Government employees won’t be obligated to join Obamacare
    Some Unions and Big Industries got waivers.
    People who are covered with their employers will still be covered.

    • http://twitter.com/deniseerogers @deniseerogers

      Only they will have less of it and longer lines at the ER because they won't be able to find a doctor who will accept medicaid/medicare. Let's not forget the death panel.

  • Angie

    Good rant, Kevin. In an effort to take the verdict and see the positive…at least we have lots of people now more aware than ever what is at stake this upcoming election, more people are talking about the "tax/penalties" and we are seeing Obama have to keep on lying about tax versus penalty and Pelosi and the rest try to fall in line as well whereas if Roberts would have ruled it unconstitutional Obama would try to spin the continual blame game…those conservatives are keeping us from getting everyone healthcare….the base and those who understand the damage this will do are fired up and will make 2010 look like childsplay, IMO.

    Kevin doesn't need me to defend him…but I know he won't waste anyomore time with you than he would burning a 'tick' off his arm.. self-promotion?__- WWOD?__- Give your wedding/anniversary gifts to 'whom'?__- Who has appeared on more tv shows than Chicago Jesus and the Mooch?

  • chocolategirl

    How can anyone think that big government sticking it's big fat foot into healthcare is gonna help it. That's what is wrong with it now, Medicare, Medicaid and all the other regulations that big government has shoved on them, along with doctors, hospitals and insurance companies! We've got to get rid of this horrible law! I hope we do. I'm praying!

  • Tony j

    Ok I'm just a new kid on the block tryiong to educate myself more on the Obamacare so what is the actual difference between the Health care by Obama that got people in a outrage and the Health care reform by George W Bush. I heard both would cost the taxpayers trillons of dollars?

  • websmith44

    It's no OJ verdict but, it's a death penalty. More jobs have been lost in this recession than ever lost since 1948. Health care? They aren't hiring any doctors or nurses to treat the additional patients. They're hiring IRS aghents to take your money. Our "best in the world" medical care already kills 90,000 people a year by accident and mistake. Under ObamaCare, fewere doctors, with their hands tied behind their back by the rationing in the Stimulus bill, will care for more patients. guess what will happen. Then when the economy loses uit's capital due to the taxes, it won't matter anyway.

    More every day, I'm taking my Money out of the loop…… stashing it………gonna use it as I see fit.

  • Lloyd

    For those that want to believe what is put out by our government, enjoy. Going to only one source is the way the human race has been so good at repeating history. I know that inflation, for example, has been held down to less than 2% per year. However, when I buy gas (+71%), tuna (+62%), bananas (+54%), i question the statistics. Now we have a ruling that this money I will pay is a tax. Well, social security is a tax that goes to the general fund (the supreme court also ruled on this in the 30's as a tax and not an annuity). Do you really believe that the penalty, premium, tax will actually buy your insurance in the end, or will it be like social security where you had better have your own retirement plan if you want to live above minimum wage. You will also find in the near future that in order to collect ss, you will not be able to own a home, a car with a value over $5,000 or earn any outside income. These are Medicaid rules with a limit on income.
