1099 bullshit in the HC law might go away

[papajohn56]

"Obama acknowledges that the unpopular 1099 provision attached to the health care bill, which would require small businesses to file additional paperwork, could be "probably counterproductive""

fucking christ, took long enough for him to figure that one out. there is no way in hell this would be fully complied with anyways. how anyone thought it would have been a good idea is beyond me.

Thank the Lord that Obama is coming to his senses over this issue! Too many small businesses were starting to panic thinking about the overwhelming tax and paper trail this would create.

You aren't kidding.

Obama strutted around like George Jefferson since he was elected. Basically told Republicans and the rest of the country to go fuck themselves. His smugness was nauseating.

Today during his press conference was a broken man. He acted like John Boehner was holding his nuts in a vise, which he is.

It took a 65+ seat in congress shitstorm for him to come to his senses. He knew he'd be screwed otherwise.

Fuck him, I wasn't planning on doing that shit anyway.

Dude is screwed regardless. Good luck getting anything through the house with a republican majority. All that really means it that the government has its hands tied and that is always a good thing as far as I'm concerned. The next time the federal government does something that is actually beneficial for the majority of the people will be the first time.
