Obamacare burnout

This is what I am calling it.

As you all might have noticed, I really just have not been writing the headlines as of late. As funny as this might sound; I am honestly just sick and tired of hearing about Obamacare. It seems everyday, day in and day out; there is another headline about Obamacare —- the website is broken, the enrollee numbers are down, blah blah blah, on and on and on.

It just gets darned old. So much in fact, that I just stopped watching Fox News; because that is all they ever talk about anymore. It was like this during the 1990’s, during the Monica scandal; 24/7 Monica, Monica, Monica…. By the time Clinton was out of office, I was just happy not to have to listen to the media drone on about it.

Maybe it is because I am not on normal sleeping hours, maybe it is because I am simply getting old and crotchety. Maybe it is because I have ADHD and get bored easily. But, I just find all of this whining and hand wringing to be quite annoying. I just the media would find something else to talk about; namely our economy or something — anything.

Are there not other important things to write about? Are there not any other political stories that could be followed; instead the constant droning on about Obamacare?

Yes, I know about Detroit’s bankruptcy. Man, do I ever. The labor movement here is in a tizzy about that one. I simply say this: this should be a textbook example of why public sector unions do not work and why they should have never been created. Heck, even the White House does not want to be involved with that mess, they did the old fake federalist dodge, “let the city handle it!” A very good dodge, but I digress.

The national media should be talking about the job situation in this Country and a lack of them; and what is causing the job market to stagnate. The media should be talking about the federal reserve and how they continue to pump currency into our money system and devalue the price of the dollar. The media should be talking about how America’s progressive tax system is choking the small business owner into having to lay off employees and thereby creating a problem for the working man.

But, instead we get Obamacare. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

It just gets old. I mean, Republicans have no right to complain about this Obamacare debacle. It is their fault that we even have this disaster on our hands. If they had actually selected a candidate that could have actually won the Presidency in 2008 and 2012; and not had a Republican who basically was traitor to the party, who voted for the bill —- we would not be in this spot in the first place.

The way I see it; the Republicans ought to just man up, suck it up, pay for the insurance and shut the hell up and next time, not choose someone who cannot win an election. my point is basically, that the right made their own bed, they ought to just lay in it and stop the stupid whining.

UPDATE: Something else that I thought about, after I came over here and laid down in the bed. Some may think that I am unfairly tarring the Republicans and not saying anything about the Democrats.

Let me say this about the Democrats: You voted for Obama. You supported and advocated for Obamacare. You have no right to complain about the cost and/or inconvenience of Obamacare. So, you essentially own this debacle so stop complaining about it and accept it for what it is.

Another thing that is particularly galling about this whole thing is the fact that the Republicans are doing the whole, “oh you poor people!” routine, which is so fake that it is pathetic. Because in all honesty the Republicans are snickering behind the supporters of Obamacare back saying, “haha this is what you get!” There is nothing that annoys me more than fake sympathy from the loyal opposition.

Again, I really do not mind reporting the facts. But, when it repeated over, and over, and over… It just gets old…
