Yep, you heard that right.

People in some rural areas have a "bad impression" of Obamacare.

But it's NOT because of the higher prices and costs imposed by the legislation.
And it's NOT because of the penalites government will impose on you if you don't obey.
And it's NOT because of the way Obamacare is forcing insurance companies to cancel every existing plan that doesn't already have all of Obamacare's Cadillac-plan features.
And it's NOT because of the lack of choice in the plans approved by government.
And it's NOT because of the constant crashing and hangups of the website.

Nope, none of those things are the reason that people have a bad impression of Obamacare.

It's because of TALK RADIO!

In a similar vein, many people have a bad impression of militant Muslim fanatics, especially after the events of Sept. 11, 2001.

But it's NOT because a bunch of them hijacked planes, killed the pilots, and crashed the planes into various buildings, killing thousands.
And it's NOT because they have caused constant warfare, strife, starvation, and death in various middle Eastern countries.
And it's NOT because they keep trying to impose Sharia Law on their populaces, reducing women to slave status, their economies to 13th-century-bazaar levels, and their religions to whip-imposed theocracies that make Nazis look benign.

No, people have a bad impression because of the newspapers that keep REPORTING what they are doing.

Just take away the people who have been reporting the facts, and Presto! those rural folks won't have a bad impression at all. No bad impressions of militant Muslim fanatics, and no bad impressions of Obamacare. At least, not until Obamacare arrives at their doorstep and the IRS starts putting even more penalties on them, for not paying the penalties listed in the Obamacare legislation in the first place.

Yes, this Christopher Mitchell person has at last identified the real culprit in all the problems Democrat are having in their attempts to convince people that Obamacare is a "good" thing. Obamacare's huge numbers of problems, aren't the culprit. It's the people REPORTING all of Obamacare's huge problems, that are the real culprit!

Obamacare Advocates Struggle To Convince Rural Uninsured

01/06/14 10:37 AM ET EST

FREEPORT, Fla. (AP) — In this rural part of the Panhandle, Christopher Mitchell finds few takers when he delivers his message about the importance of exploring insurance options under the federal health overhaul.

People in the conservative-leaning area tend to have a bad impression of President Obama's signature law because of negative messages they hear on talk radio or from friends, said Mitchell, marketing director for a network of nonprofit health clinics. Even for those with insurance, a doctor's visit may require a long drive because there are few providers in the area — and some are selective about the coverage they accept.

"I tell people that I am not here to advocate for the law, I am here to support the law and empower people to be able to use and understand the law," said Mitchell, whose employer, PanCare of Florida, received a federal grant for outreach efforts. "But when people are hearing over and over and over that is bankrupting America, it is hard to break through."

Little-Acorn. Totally expected since....Obama, and the Dummies of the Democrat/Socialist party finally realized....BLAMING BUSH didn't work.
So. Like clockwork. If they haven't got something they can depend on. They just MAKE ANOTHER EXCUSE UP.

Right you are. If we didn't have Talk Radio. Obama probably would have had two LANDSLIDE victories, more Americans would be out of work. A larger number of Americans would be on Food Stamps, and Welfare, and most of them would be the people who were chased out of the military, had their contract's Cancelled, and Jesse Jackson would have his own TV Show from the OVAL office of the Former White House...now painted Black with Limo's in the driveway Bouncing Up and Down beside the MEXICAN-BLACK PANTHER flags.

Well, the guy isn't all wrong.

If talk radio didn't report and discuss the issues with Obama's wealth redistribution program, the lemmings could remain blissfully unaware. Of course, the assumption is that EVERYONE listens to talk radio. Anyone have the numbers on audience size for talk radio (broken down into political leanings)?

It is interesting that he points to another issue: "Even for those with insurance, a doctor's visit may require a long drive because there are few providers in the area — and some are selective about the coverage they accept." which many believe will only get worse with Obamacare and maybe (just maybe) the population of Florida's Panhandle aren't as stupid as the the government hack's think they are.

You have to wonder what the libs/socialists will do when they run out of boogey men.

CSM. I think all of us will eventually get to see those libs/socialists along the highways, and byways. Holding out their THUMBS, or waving WHITE FLAGS...hoping WE....the people who warned them for many years....will be tolerant, and liberal enough to stop and help them.

But I fully suspect. That will be the Opportune moment many of us have been waiting for, when we just DRIVE-BY, and wave...if not offer a SINGLE DIGIT...with a happy smile, and wishes for a Happy Day.

The boogey man is Obama and when they "run out of" him, they will run another (Hillary), and another, and another. There is no end of electable rectums for them.

Now we have the first black president. Next will be the first woman president. After that will be the first sodomite president (actually we have that now), then the first pedophilic president, then the first necrophilic president. See, there is no end of what the Dems can throw at us.

And damn to talk radio if they say anything about it.

The boogeyman is not Obama. it is Obamacare.

If that legislation had been passed with Harry Reid as President, or Alan Grayson as President, or Walter Mitty as President, people would have just as bad an impression of it... because it would be just as bad a law.

It's got nothing to do with WHO passed it.

It's got nothing to do with WHO passed it. I have a different take on that. It has lots to do with Obama since its his baby that he loves so dearly. Its the vehicle which gives government, primarily his branch almost unlimited power! We the people are only seeing the start of it's monstrosity. Remember the term ALL THRU THE LAW--"as the Secretary shall determine" is actually-- as the PRESIDENT SHALL DETERMINE!! Additionally Obama and his dictatorial actions are a large part of how and why it was passed in the first place. The boogey man is actually Obama until he loses power, if that ever happens!--Tyr

Damn straight, Tyr. Obama stumped for this over and over and over. It's too late to distance him from it.
