White House Breaks Emergency Glass, Brings Back Obama For New Promo With Biden
2023-12-16
[Daily Caller] The White House released a promo video Friday that uses former President Barack Obama to tout the Affordable Care Act, most commonly known as Obamacare.
For some reason I was listening to the comedy channel on SiriusXM today, which came with the car. One of the comedians made a joke to the effect that in the old days nobody had a medical care because they couldn’t afford it, and now nobody has medical care because of Obamacare. The audience laughed ruefully. As far as I can tell, that comedy channel carries mainstream rather than cutting edge comedians, so the resentment must be quite widespread.
President Joe Biden celebrated the 13th year anniversary of the Affordable Care Act in March, calling the legislation an "extraordinary achievement" that insured more Americans through Medicaid. Obama and Biden assure Americans in the video that despite Republicans’ wishes, Obamacare is still in effect and encouraged viewers to sign up for the open enrollment program.

"Hey President Biden, is Obamacare still a thing?" the president reads a text he received from on his phone. "Is it still a thing?" Biden then asks Obama.

"Yes," Obama responds. "Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, Bidencare — whatever you call it, yes it is still a thing. The other side has been trying to repeal it every year since it’s existed. But, we’ll keep fighting to protect it."

Former President Donald Trump previously referenced the cost of Obamacare in a November social media post, even suggesting that he was looking at “alternatives.”

#5  What IF Kamala Harris was decided no longer good for the VP slot

Her communication skills are on par with the current POTUS. At least she can find the way on and off the podium without assistance. There's that.

Hypothetically speaking.
What IF Kamala Harris was decided no longer good for the VP slot, and they replaced her with Michelle Obama for 2024?

What IF that switch got the LSD's the win in 2024. Would Biden have a surfing accident, or resign in 2025 due to health issues?

Thus making Michelle Obama the President, and putting the Obama's back in the White House.
