Today, Fred Lucas in CNS News tells the reader of more payoffs by Obama and his crew as the administration struggles to keep the current health care law from imploding.
In the article “Three SEIU Locals--Including Chicago Chapter--Waived From Obamacare Requirement,” he explains how it is clearly a major benefit to be a (FOO), ‘Friend of Obama.
FOO is not to be confused with FOOL an Obama voter. Please see video ‘How Obama got elected.’
Three local chapters of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), whose political action committee spent $27 million supporting Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, have received temporary waivers from a provision in Obamacare. The three SEIU chapters include the Local 25 in Obama’s hometown of Chicago.
A total of 1,507,418 enrollees are now included in the waivers. More than one-third -- 512,315 – of the enrollees affected were insured by union health plans.
The waivers allow health insurance plans to limit how much they will spend on a policy holder’s medical coverage for a given year. Under the new health care law, however, such annual limits are phased out by the year 2014.
(Under HHS regulations, annual limits can be no less than $750,000 for 2011, no less than $1.25 million in 2012 and no less than $2 million in 2013.)
The SEIU, with more than 2 million members nationally, includes health care workers, janitors, security guards, and state and local government workers.
As reported in the Wall Street Journal, one might think there is a bit of justice when SEIU dropped member coverage in anticipation of the increased cost of Obama care in the future.
Mr. Lewis goes into the specifics of the waivers, on all of the FOOs most of whom if not all are FOOLs in greater detail here.
The three SEIU locals, covering a total of 36,064 enrollees, are covered by the federal waivers, according to the Department of Health and Human Services.
Isn’t it just great when those that impose the laws on Americans exempt federal employees from them?
Paul Ryan, (R-WI) in a three-minute speech of the floor of the House of Representatives clearly explained the shell game the administration played and false accounting used to make the program seem viable. (three-minutes will be well spent for a complete understanding of why the bill is doomed to failure).
Allowing for the above exemptions, it is easy to see that Obama is a house of cards built on a foundation of wet sand.
If the reader believes for a moment that the issue has been about health care rather than following a failed model, used in failing socialist countries in Western Europe, thus driving the U.S. further into a socialist state; it’s time to step in front of a mirror and ask the question, am I a FOO or a FOOL, the answer is most certainly a yes.
That’s my story and I’m sticking to it, I’m J.C.

The one picketing are excempt and being paid to picket it's nerver ending what BO is doing. I have friends that had friends, but they commented sucide because they had nothing left and no true government to help. I posted 3 video of what BO is going to do and is making fast head way with it. So sad the rest of the people don't see this. The one picketing of the unions haven't a clue what they are doing to the People that was once free in America and they have become BO and the governments slaves doing his bidding.
Between the Muslims and BO communists cronies and other that praise him. WE NEED A MIRCLE ARE THERE ANY?
Napalm has been used successfully in the past:-) Republicans must hold the line and block everything giving him nothing to run on. If Harry Reid blocks this from a Senate vote it's because he know Democrats are running from it, I've said from the get go since November 2nd, given the chance it won't be difficult to get enough Dems to override Obama's veto. There are 23 up for election in 2012, we should be bombing their offices by fax with names of those dumb enough to follow the bidding of Pelosi and Reid. They lost all their power, and for the vast majority it's not about us, it's all about them. J.C Thanks for the comment Renee. J.C.
That's does it. I'm no fool. I'm going to quit my job and work for the gooberment!
Let me set the record here straight about my friend above Ms AK-47. She's a head turner to be sure, and with the brains and IQ that surpass the entire DNC, certainly the Obama Administration. She will never work for the gubermint :-)
LOL You probably won't be able to BE a paper pushing Robot; not even for the BIG paycheck and benefits 2nd to none...Honor and Integrity can't be bought. Stay strong by your character, our time here on Earth is but a blink of an eye in comparison to Eternity in the Life after relieved of our Labor on Earth.

The entire ObamaCare Bill is a farce and is taking this nation to socialism. Bohner & Cantor are wussing out on demanding his eligiblity documents for the Presidency. We must fight to keep Obama OFF the ballot in 2012. He is a socialist/Communist and must be dethroned!
I disagree, if it becomes mandatory to show his birth records I have deep sources, that he was actually born in Sweden, and won't qualify. Do you realize, there is no proof whatsoever that he has even become a naturalized citizen? This guy will go down in history as the elected official we knew nuttin about honey. The cool part is his autobiography will be an empty book.
This is my second comment the other one disappeared and I am not going to try to re-write it to long .
Summary the ones picketing are union paid already exempt and it looks like advertising to me and should be arrested for false advertising!!
It's is becoming a non - free America! So many that haven't a clue and what they are doing to the other people that want to live in The land of the free America
Could this be another way to get businesses to become unionized and communists-- We need a miracle is it out there???
It made it Renee it's the top one but this is even better, J.C.
This is another examples of this regime's onslaught of Intented continuous attacks on the US citizens to create such divisiness, anger and chaos to enable to be POTUS of the world and for life as well as enable FEMA 10999 Marshall Law.
Not to worry Lisa we are about to see a grown boy cry. The Republicans will keep tying things up, if Reid refuses to let dems vote on the bill in the Senate it will be admission that the Dems will jump ship, Obama would veto, then it would come back for reconcilliation. No Dem wanting the POWER in 2112 will want to join their long since foolish friends who ignored the will of the people while taking one for Pelosi, jeese, what's wrong with a hot babe if you are going down for the count:-)
Again, we are shown the total incompetence of Obama. He cannot advance a successful policy. Everything he does is about advancing the Unions, specifically SEIU. One thing that will come out of his presidency, Unions will be done in the country by the time he is through. Great job my friend!!
Indeed Cindy, as stated above, it won't be just the Unions but Dems left standing if Reid doesn't allow a vote on the House repeal of Obama Care. Still laughing, that liberal fools had to finally admit that tax cuts were the best thing for the economy by caving in on a core principle, taxing. They still don't get it, but it's a start. Republicans hold the line, Democrats will face a bigger bloodbath than last November, my money is on Pelosi hopping on her broom and bolting withing six-months, thanks for the comment.
Excellent article, Jim. I am SOOO mad I feel like screaming! How much, if any, of this can the GOP majority Congress stop? My guess is none of it. Well, I'm most certainly not a FOO, nor a FOOL. I'm mad as hell, though...
Oh no my friend, see my comments above. The Republican Majority is already rolling, voted to rescind as you know, now will begin stripping funds, with all of Obama's exemptions, no chance of the program not caving in on it's own. The Paul Ryan video in the article is priceless. Thanks, J.c
Jim, OBAMACARE is dead. The House repealed it and won't FUND IT. Jim DeMitt has stated that the reps have the votes to KILL this leftist socialist wet dream. Apparently half the Democratic senators who are up for re-election are now tal...king RETIREMENT this is a sign that it is over for the Dem Party as we know it. This is great news for republicans because we can now elect conservatives to freeze out the RINOS. The know that it is over for Obama, He is now moving to the center and is own radical leftist zealots that hate America and capitalism will abandon him and I bet you anything that they expose him so he will never win a second term. All commies will turn on anyone they feel has betrayed them and their plans.
I bow down to the, had I got here first I wouldn't have had to explain it a couple times above, You have the half white guy nailed. Jim
He is a STUDY ON SOCIALISM and the books are just waiting to be written!
Michelle, Obama incapable of looking at the countries in Western Europe, is he capable of naming a single country or state that taxed itself into prosperity, nope, just an ignorant fool was voted for by more ignorant fools.
I am no FOO! But if this continues to go forward, then we are all SCREWED! Union or not!
Not to worry Isis, read comments above, the Democrat Party is do for a major blood bath at the polls in 2012, 23 D senators, who won't want to be saying that they voted for ObamaHealthCareDenial, thank, J.C.
Dr.Gary K...from my FaceBook reaction to Jim's excellent article>>>
Great look at Corruptocare! Thank you, Jim!!!
Gary Katz As a doctor, I'd like to thank Jim Campbell for his lucid comprehension of the magnitude of the OhBowMore scam!
Gary Katz Great title>>>'Obamacare is only mandatory if you aren’t a friend of the Obama administration'....so obviously CORRUPT and bankrupt!
Gary Katz Jim's article is a MUST-READ! It has all the numbers and facts regarding OhBowMore's cynical "waivers" from his deadly 'health' plan. How transparently fraudulent and corrupt! Dr. Gary K
AND....I mean it!!!
I'm glad I'm not a FOO even if it did mean benefits for me & mine. Being an FOO automatically makes one a FOOL, as you've pointed out and that I am not. I don't vote Democrats into the white house, no matter what.
I actually don't think Obama was born in either Kenya or Sweden. I just read an article from China stating Obama had announced to them that there are extraterrestrials among us & have been for a very long time. (Americans were not informed of this except through this Chinese posting) I think that's because we have finally located where Obama came from and it certainly explains the absence of a birth certificate and his super duper national health care.
Isn't it cute the way those unions are out there picketing for ObamaCare since they don't have to have it. All it takes to be a FOO is gross dishonesty. Another interesting posting Jim.
NO FOOING around either.
These union folks have no idea what or why they are picketing, they are following orders. Foo's pay money to be told what to do and when to do it, no need to think. Looks like the dumbing down of the education system has worked well for the democrats. They just did not believe that America would finally notice what was going on, good thing the Patriots awoke when they did.
The house voted to repeal Obama care but when it will be repealed remains to be seen. When 2012 gets here we know Obama is a one term president. The Republicans can at least keep Obama care tied up until the next president takes office and does away with it. Having a little faith and hope here. The unions will probably diminish also by then. There will always be corruption somewhere however maybe it can some what be cleaned up some in the White House. Lets see what the Republicans can do about SEIU too.
With the up/down vote on Socialized medicine, now you combine the status of Socialism and the "back room deals" dealing with waivers for this Socialized medicine move ... what else can you expect?
America is now about 90% pure Socialist. We can continue walk around with our heads in the sand and claim that we can't be Socialist if we are American ... or we can take the bull by the horns and educate our citizenry. We must stop Socialism in America because there is no where else to go in the world; at least here we have a chance.
JIM, KEEP UP THE GOOD FIGHT!
JC And don't forget that Congress is also exempt....
We all need a waiver from the entire administration, not just Obama Care, thanks
Haha....am no FOO!
WELL IM GONNA JUMP ON FRANCIS MARIONS WAGON HE HAS HIT THE NAIL SQUARELY ON THE HEAD.TO MANY HAVE BEEN SNOOKERED INTO BECOMING SOCIALISTS(NOT SURE IF I WANT THEM ON MY SIDE ANYWAYS).LET ME SAY THIS TO ALL THAT HAVE DRANK THE COOL-AIDE.PLEASE GRAB YOUR THINKING CAPS AND PULL THEM DOWN SNUG!!!,,i sure hope we can as a nation shovel the tons of manure` OUT OF OUR BARNS,cause the progressives have sure dumped a boatload on us.
When oil was Gushing into Gulf of mexico [macondo].O,bama and his administration were on the verge of using explosives.,I wrote to them and stressed,it would cry forever.Hence,they abandoned their exploding mission.Prior to white house RECEIVING my letters,Bp nor the Obama team HAD not got a clue on how they were going to STOP the oil running into the ocean.They had two unsuccessful attempts at trying to stop the disaster.On my letters was the solution...THE secret was timber.When they lowered the new cap, on the inside the timber was fitted,when the new cap was lowered into the riser pipe,they had to wait a number of hours before they could turn OFF the valves on the new cap.The reason for the waiting,was to give time for the timber to swell....NO I DON,T LIKE obama NOR administrating team.The least they could have done is a,simple thank you letter to me.My address and phone were in each letter i had sent..THANKING YOU,Patrick.
Excellent analysis well expressed. Thank you!9jv
Some of us lowly pigs on the Animal Farm are more equal than others.
Some of those others of us just get turned into juicy bacon. :)
Obama's doomed Foo and Fools won't be re-elected in 2012. The question is, what can be done NOW, to prevent them from further destroying and endangering the United States ? Who or what can prevent them meanwhile...?
The one issue with the failure of his economic policies is that the Unions are not coming to the table. This is because he is in bed with them.
