Not that I give a tinker's damn what Oprah has ever said, but I guess that 3-5 million (lower end being what Dr. E. Emanual stated on Megan Kelly's Show, the upper end being what Fox News, and several others report as the number) people having their insurance cancelled because they are all racists.
When Joe Wilson said "You lie." It turns out he was absolutely 100% correct and Obama knew it.
So Stating the Truth = Racism.
Dear Oprah,
That word does not mean what you think it means.
-Me.

At the risk of being all C&SD,
Volokh has a good analysis of the Obama's extralegal "fix"

So, for instance, what happens when there’s a legal dispute under one of these policies? Say, for instance, an insurance company denies payment for something that is not covered under the policy but that would have been covered under the PPACA and the insured sues? Would an insurance company really want to have to defend this decision in court?
All Obama's "fix" does is give congressional democrats (and himself) cover. "Look, I said you could keep you policy. It's those evil insurance companies that cancelled you, not me, not Obamacare. See, we need single payer to fix this."
Oh, and rates will be even higher next year.
The ACA needs to be killed with fire and a stake driven through it's heart.

And that reality is what is driving what appears to be democrat desperation. Obama hasn't received the memo yet but he will. Obamacare will not continue in its present form. It will change and preferably be repealed. It remains to be seen if republicans will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory by stopping repeal. I maintain they will.

If this country actually was racist, Obama wouldn't be POTUS and Oprah wouldn't be a billionaire.
These days, crying "Racist" often means little more than "I think you're a bad person because you won the argument."

In a nutshell!
I don't give a hoot what color the President is. I care if he's good for the country.

Yup, and that's going to get interesting. Progressives are great at pushing for things that don't affect them. We've already seen a good number of "I didn't know I'd be paying for it!" shocked quotes from those who pay their own premiums. I would guess the vast majority of the do-gooders are on an employer plan. Of course they'll probably just blame their greedy capitalist employer when their coverage turns to crap and/or their employer asks them to chip in for their insurance.

Even better is Nancy Pelosi denying that she ever said that "If you like your plan, you can keep it." (http://www.weeklystandard.com/blogs/pelosi-nothing-obamacare-said-your-insurance-company-should-cancel-you_767125.html) Yet, still on her webpage (http://www.democraticleader.gov/news/reports/whatquotemarks-health-care-reform-bill-you) (which actually works) is this gem (under "Greater Choice"):
Keep your doctor, and your current plan, if you like them.
So your going to lie about the lie you told?
Growing up lying was bad. I don't think any kids in my family or neighborhood would have ever been seen or heard from again had they lied about a lie they told. :O :-X :-X

And those notices, along with all the people that were cancelled this year (should they be able to suddenly "renew" their now cancelled policies), will be hitting right before the election.
"Never interrupt your enemy when he's busy making a mistake."

Only as long as the general population doesn't fall for the other Dem battle cry. "It's the REPUBLICANS fault!!"

And I havn't been overly impressed with the general populations lack of gulibility.

Either that, or "You're not black enough to associate with me."
News article the other day about a college somewhere in the northeast. Local NAACP honcho is complaining because the makeup of the faculty isn't in lock-step with the makeup of the student body. The article then cites the president of the college, who points out that the faculty includes significant numbers of Hispanics, Asians, Orientals, and Blacks. Not in exactly the same proportions as those "races" are reflected in the current student body, but significant numbers.
NAACP guy doesn't count any of the others as contributing to diversity. Predictably, ALL he counts is blacks.
Look who is being racist now ...

Not an exact quote but, yes ... she be the one.

Wait; doesn't the Left cry "racism," even when they DO have other angles of attack?

"Cry racist and let slip the Al Sharptons"
