Gibbs: Health Care Repeal ‘Not Serious’

The White House is dismissing a vote by House Republicans to repeal the new health care law, saying it's not "a serious legislative effort."

Unfortunately, the first legislative debacle was what was "not serious." Trust me, Gibbs, it's serious this time.

soildude   January 18th, 2011 - 2:44 pm

Gibby, you just keep telling yourself that!!!!!

Talengtp   January 18th, 2011 - 2:46 pm

You keep on governing against the will of the people. I guess the last election cycle wasn't enough of a clue. 2012 is right around the corner.

AngryFletch   January 18th, 2011 - 2:46 pm

Serious as the Constitution my friend…

leroitroisieme   January 18th, 2011 - 2:46 pm

He reminds me of Saddam Hussein propagandists who said that the American's were being defeated and they were "1000" miles away. Of course, American troops were within 20 miles of his position and bombs going off.

Gibbs may deny the seriousness of legislative action, but when the repeal hits Obama's desk; he will be forces to veto it. Then, I would love to hear what Gibbs has to say.

Are YOU…the mouthpiece of the messiah…serious? We mean…are you serious?

You just stay tuned to see how SERIOUS 'we' the people are in holding the newly elected reps to their promise to stop the spending starting with Obamacare! You just stay tuned to see how SERIOUS "we" are in getting our government back!

We won't back down…we won't step back…we mean business and 'we' are SERIOUS!

Denial is how the the far-left deals with their electoral defeats and they still cannot see that their world view does not float in this country (the majority of it).

Panchester   January 18th, 2011 - 2:54 pm

Like so many of them – this clown just doesn't get it.

Missy8s   January 18th, 2011 - 2:55 pm

YES it will go and YES we ARE serious!

This law is a murderer of "individual" liberties and it will be ripped out by its roots, either by an act of congress or in the courts it's TOAST!

We will never relent until this monstrosity of totalitarian fantasy is utterly destroyed!

When we're done with Obamacare we WILL move to undo the "New Deal" and "Great Society" fantasies as well and we will restore self determination and "individual" destiny to the people where they belong!

We WILL continue to help those that TRULY cannot help themselves as we should but we will end the all powerful nanny state forever!

Charity comes from the immortal soul, not government and "collective salvation" is just a politically correct phrase for SLAVERY TO THE STATE!!

Kiss it goodbye Bolshevik Bob.

BloodLibel   January 18th, 2011 - 2:57 pm

Gibbs is not relevant.
Look at Haiti a year after. Looks the same after a billion dollars in aid thrown down the drain. Why? Because their people are totally handout dependent with no will for self advancement. Gee, and they are all blacks. Raping women is their daily thrill. African males delight in raping as their main goal in life.
Extrapolate to America where King Obama is obsessed with giving whitey's money to his fellow blacks. 90 teenage black girls pregnant in one high school. 83% of black fathers are absent from the home. Wonder what all the reparation money will be spent on. Gee, King Obama you are really doing a good job according to Oprah.

Ajwaldo   January 18th, 2011 - 2:58 pm

I understant why gibbs made that statement. His buddy ol pal in chief has the veto pen.

Perhaps in 2012 he may want to reassess that statement.

gwar5   January 18th, 2011 - 2:59 pm

ObamaBagger Gibbs is getting the boot so what does he know?

We will have a vote to repeal which will expose for the record who supports this thing so they'll lose in the next election. And then we'll kill it page by page for the next two years so we can find the commie trash buried in this thing and show people why marxism is dangerous.

Dave_in_Oregon   January 18th, 2011 - 3:00 pm

OK____Obama said that the Health Care bill must be passed immediiately… no one even was allowed enough time to read the bill but the liberals/democrats all voted for it anyway.____Now The Pillsbury doughboy…Obama's mouthpiece says a repeal of the bill is no big deal.____Are all of these people in Washington DC delusional?__(no need to answer that one)

mikemc1970   January 18th, 2011 - 3:00 pm

Isn't funny how the Democrats never take fulfilling campaign promises as "serious"?

12963   January 18th, 2011 - 3:00 pm

Didn't that brown noser get booted from his job, why is he still talking, Does he know he has been fired? or is he like the guy on "Office Space" that was fired but is in denial and still shows up for work everyday.

300weatherby   January 18th, 2011 - 3:01 pm

The American people are serious about repealing the healthcare bill and the legislators better be also!!!

BobbyGG   January 18th, 2011 - 3:03 pm

Repeal, probably not. Defunding, yes.

freedom rocks   January 18th, 2011 - 3:05 pm

just keep tellin yourself that

BloodLibel   January 18th, 2011 - 3:05 pm

Pass it fast or people will be dying in the streets. Pass the stimulus fast. What is next? How about nullifying the constitution fast and making me King so we wont need the next elections which would embarrass me. Then I can fill my court with all black communists and become China West.

Justawful   January 18th, 2011 - 3:14 pm

Both Clintons were sickening to listen to, I hate the sound of their voices. I hate listening to Omambo even more than that, but listening to Gibbs is worse than Omambo and the Clintons put together!

Big_X   January 18th, 2011 - 3:15 pm

So will it be serious next time? The time after that? The time after that…?

BTW, if Republicans think they can let this go after one try, there's going to be another 2010 shellacking, only this time we'll throw bums out on both sides of the aisle.

BHO_UMM_UMM_UMM   January 18th, 2011 - 3:24 pm

Obama tells the people's House, the House of Representatives, that will pass the ObamaCare/TyrannyCare repeal bill, that the people demanding the repeal are not important, that, essentially, Obama is in charge now and Obama doesn't give a shi t what the HoR or their constituents want. We now have a government of Obama, by Obama, and for Obama.

soildude   January 18th, 2011 - 3:25 pm

Like how Pelosi thought the 2010 smack down given by the Dems was because of Bush?

What color is it?

bob1004   January 18th, 2011 - 3:27 pm

the pillsbury doughboy gibbs needs to just go away. you cant have 15 million added to a program a not cost enormous amount of money. there are good parts of the bill cover preexisting conditions and uhmmmm pretty much nothing else. let the people have their choice and freedoms and we will get through without your help.

soildude   January 18th, 2011 - 3:29 pm

I do not like generalizations like this! Are there many people that are like that, of course so. But generalizing an entire race is wrong!!
By doing so, you are stooping to the same level as Matthews, Olbermann, etc. We have to be better than this!!!!

Bluto152L   January 18th, 2011 - 3:29 pm

Mandating coverage of pre-existing conditions is one of the worst parts of the bill. Then nobody would ever have a need to buy insurance. They just get it when something bad happens. Hence the term "insurance".

bob1004   January 18th, 2011 - 4:03 pm

im sorry i guess i should have worded it better im saying that if someone who is willing to pay for the isurance because they lost their job or lost their isurance for some reason or another and has preexisting condition should be able purchase insurance around the same rates. if you lose your insurance and your wife is pregnant you have to pay cash or pay unbelivable monthly rates because it is considered a preexisting condition, that seems a little ridiculous that insurerers are alowed to do this. im not saying any kind of mandate is good at all and people shouldnt be forced to buy anything they dont want.

SMFIII   January 18th, 2011 - 4:03 pm

Yeah, the paranoid reactionary left would NEVER allow repeal to happen.

Oh.

Wait.

They are a tiny minority in this country and won't have any say in the matter.

Syrin23   January 18th, 2011 - 4:09 pm

The Tea Party is just a few fringe racists too, right? How many times can these douche baggers be wrong?

skipper99   January 18th, 2011 - 4:15 pm

Time and time again, the utterances coming from the Dem's and Lib's are the same totally out of touch with actuality that it sometimes feels as though we are in a netherworld where we know whats going on, we tell our leaders what we need, yet like a remotely operated car, they just keep on spewing their lies, deceit and ignore our pleas. Believe me, come 2012 America will be laser focused on the elections and it will be unlike anything before.

NewRiverPatriot   January 18th, 2011 - 4:20 pm

It will die in the Senate, because they are panty wastes. They should attach its repeal to something obamy can't veto.

Duuuuh   January 18th, 2011 - 4:22 pm

Someone forgot to tell Gibbs to close his eyes and tap his heels together three times before he said that.

JayDandy   January 18th, 2011 - 4:28 pm

Please…..this law is a response to skyrocketing health care premiums and lack of access to medical services for over 50 million people. You, my dear, are living in a libertarian fantasy just as deluded as the marxist fantasies you accuse your opponents of harboring. They will never ever see the light of day. The world you think exists has been dead and buried for decades and is never coming back. Didnt the US have a more deregulated laissez fair system in the 19th century? What happened to that? It caused undue hardship, was the cause for unionization, the minimum wage, and regulations. And rightly so.

This repeal effort will be quickly vetoed and by the time they get around to it again the healthcare law will be in full effect and good luck trying to take it back then. Do you really think people will just sit back and let you take their benefits for the sake of your utopian fantasies?

Good luck with that.

Missy8s   January 18th, 2011 - 4:33 pm

Yes it will be vetoed just as we expect it to be but the effort will be well worth it especially when "Harry The Hat" starts taking heat from your twisted immoral opportunist party in the Senate to allow a vote.

Get over it, one way or another this thing will go down along with all of your other socialist wet dreams.

No matter how many "crises" you loons attempt to manufacture socially or legislatively your socialist nightmare fantasy world will never come to be.

The second great American awakening has begun and there is nothing you loony lefties can do to stop it.

Move along now child.

BloodLibel   January 18th, 2011 - 4:41 pm

Ok, should I tell the real truth? We are all degenerating as a civilization, and it won't be long until we all become animals in the survival mode. No thanks to Obama, but it is bigger than that.

JayDandy   January 18th, 2011 - 5:01 pm

You really arent talking to average people or what they are facing are you?

Do you really believe that a healthcare plan means totalitarianism? LOL. My advice is get off whatever drugs you are on. They aren't working. Maybe go to places beyond Oregon too? Having spent much time in Western Europe and Scandanavia I can't report that I saw any jack booted thugs forcibly removing people from their homes in the middle of the night and shipping them off to re-education camps. In fact maybe you should take a longer look at your home country which currently has the largest prison population in the world. We also have the highest instance of bankrupty with the highest perecentage of those bankruptcies coming from medical costs. That's one of the reasons healthcare reform was needed. This will be vetoed again and again and again.

You really are a sick puppy. I don't know why I waste time talking to raving wingnuts who are completely disconnected from reality.

JayDandy   January 18th, 2011 - 5:12 pm

What's really hardest to fathom is how a person can so callously dismiss 36 million people who will have no access to medical services? And why? Because you think we are all better off keeping insurance companies rich? Does this sound ethical to you?

You're a fool and you wingnuts arent going to win this thing.

A_pen   January 18th, 2011 - 5:16 pm

Gibbs will say that Obama followed the constitution. The trouble with these commies is the constitution they follow is not ours. Of course they tell us that we can not interpret our own either. I'm still waiting to hear that Obama speech describing what the "change" was to as it certainly isn't toward the only form of government that has ever secured the people from people like them. The little glitch we have is called the bar association and it's idea that we the people should not have the power of a grand jury indictment to hold government and other friends of theirs accountable. That's an easy fix. Can you hear the screams?

Missy8s   January 18th, 2011 - 5:18 pm

I could give two sh*ts about Euro-peons or what they think, they made their hellhole they can live in it.

I will not sacrifice my liberties for anyone's warped concept of "social justice" or "collective salvation" and to think any free thinking American will is utter folly on your part.

Oh yes, the life control law will be overturned in time, just as all of the leftist BS of the past 100 years will also be.

Stick a fork in it, it's done.

ObummerSucks   January 18th, 2011 - 5:19 pm

Not only will righteousness prevail it will utterly destroy the despotism and slavery of socialism forever.

I thought Gibbs went back into the woodwork like the rest of the stinkin commies did when they discovered they bit off more than they could chew. Oh well, he is just another speed bump in the road back to legitimate government just like the fraud in chief. I wonder if Baby Doc Duvalier is going to invite Obama for a stay when he gets the Clinton nod to start his dictatorial abuses again in Haiti?

It's ok gibbsyboy, for too many Americans it actually takes the implementation for them to realize that "hey this sucks". Once THAT moment occurs, more will awaken to the lunacy of the left and we'll get enough Tea Partiers in there to clean up your party's DISASTER.

Guest Yank   January 18th, 2011 - 5:32 pm

"36 million?" Was that number the result of an MSM poll or hand-count, or did you get it from the Story of Stuff? No matter, because with those death squads in place, now the fascists can decide which of the "36 million" will receive care and which will receive death counseling. Luckily for you, not-so-swift, the new Congress is ON IT….

And for you Eurotrash types who think you're in vogue with the Old World–this just in from the more astute on the other side of the pond:

"The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the Presidency. It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince. The Republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president."

…speaking of fools and wingnuts, popinjay.

(Now, GTFO of our way while we surgically remove you leftist cancerous growths from our Republic.)

HURRICANEPAUL   January 18th, 2011 - 5:37 pm

It's SO simple.

The Democrats LOST because they were NOT listening to "WE THE PEOPLE" who were telling President Obama that the MAJORITY of Americans do NOT want his stupid JOB-KILLING BILL.

Now…"WE THE PEOPLE" are saying AGAIN…"Mr. President, we the people don't want your stupid job-killing bill."

If the Senate refuses to listen to "we the people" and President Obama VETOES what "WE THE PEOPLE" want…that means that President Obama STILL thinks that "we the people" are the ones who are NOT LISTENING TO OBAMA.

We need a NEW PRESIDENT who will listen to "WE THE PEOPLE".

BloodLibel   January 18th, 2011 - 5:37 pm

I have to disagree because Gibbs is a court jester. King Obama is the real destructive one who constantly lies. I've gone through 3 TV sets, using my shotgun on them when Obama was lying.

freedomliberty13   January 18th, 2011 - 5:45 pm

If only words were reality then maybe ObamaCare would provide more and better health care coverage for more people and all at less cost! Gibbs and the other minions know that this bill is coming from The House, not because the GOP expects that Obama will sign it into law, but rather, to get all the dems to vote and say if they support ObamaCare or not. Many other dems lost their seats in November because of their votes for ObamaCare. The Repubs just want to put all the rest on the record, so they can defend their votes in 2012.

CellBlockCbitchTomD   January 18th, 2011 - 6:09 pm

yes, the government gave him a really fair trial, tortured him, then killed him. Sounds like a Bush policy the GOP cheers.

Guest Yank   January 18th, 2011 - 6:14 pm

Wrong again–as you know, or should, the Sanhedrin was far more akin to the Liberal Left than to the GOP.

Nonetheless, after He suffered, as God instructed him to, Christ rose again on the third day–Obama won't.

(Remember to remove the sock…)

CellBlockCbitchTomD   January 18th, 2011 - 6:19 pm

I dont remember the left praising torture, incarceration without trial, jail house beatings, cruel and unusual punishment,. The GOP , to this day, Praise those exact things Bush did .

Sonce God wanted it, it was OK in your mind ? disgusting.

are you saying Obama is going to be dead ?
