RIGHT-ON to President Obama - Speech in Boston

October 30, 2013 -  President Obama at Faneuil Hall, Boston 

BOSTON - October 30, 2013, Today in Boston, MA, President Barack Obama, took on his negative critics and doomsayers regarding the "delay" of the operation of Healthcare.org, the website for people to signup for health care insurance.

He spoke of the importance of having quality health care and cited why the Affordable Health Care insurance mandates ensured better/best plans in the marketplace.  He spoke of the long haul.  He praised the Massachusetts plan and reminded the audience of the "delays" and growing pains of the Romney plan prior to getting the quirks out of the plan.

He spoke of his displeasure with the delays of the website and vowed to see it through for correctness.

Hecklers

True classic and smooth demeanor, the president's rebound after "hecklers" was true eloquence.  His response statement to the hecklers was a Barack Obama smile and a comment, "that is the wrong rally - we did Energy this summer".  He was responding to what the heckers were protesting for.  He was truly, Mr. President. 

His comments were as always rooted in leadership for all, fairness, calm, common sense, calibrated and pressing forward.  These are not the points that the doomsayers are taking into consideration.  The gamesmanship continues at the risk of the masses.  

"I feel that there is constant overreaction by those who want the Affordable Health Care law to fail.  Additionally, the Republicans and uninformed individuals, have overplayed their hands with disengenuousness.  They look straight into the camera and speak with mostly to all misrepresentation of the facts.  That is not helping our country.  The Affordable Health Care law is the law of the land.  Yes.  It is also a major accomplishment for the people of America - It is also the Signature law of our 44th President, Barack Hussein Obama, Mr. President", said Mary Glass, Chair/CEO, Milwaukee Professionals Association LLC.
