Obama is blaming Fox News for 2/3 of the country disliking Obamacare. Heres Neal Cavutos explanation and it is great. If you dont understand what is bad about ObamaCare please read his comments and you will understand. Mr. President, Fox News isnt whats making Americans sick about your healthcare law. Your healthcare law is. Welcome, everybody, Im Neil Cavuto. And excuse this departure from form. But I think this is just poor form. So, its time we set some things straight. Mr. President, we at Fox News are not the problem. I hate to break it to you, sir. You are. Your words are. Your promises are. We didnt sell this healthcare law. Sir, you did. Remember this? President Barack Obama: If you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor. Period. Mr. President, tell that to tens of thousands of retirees at IBM and Time Warner and dozens of others, whove been dumped from their coverage and told to find their own coverage. Fox News didnt break that news to them, Mr. President. Their companies did. Fox News didnt push more of those firms to hire part-time workers. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didnt incentivize fast food restaurants to scale back their benefits. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didnt make doctors want to opt out. Your healthcare law did. Fox News didnt make insurance premiums sky rocket. Your healthcare law did. Just like Fox News didnt grant hundreds of exemptions to companies that needed them. You did. And Fox News didnt delay one key provision after another, including online enrollment for those small business exchanges. You did. Just like it wasnt Fox News that said we had to pass this to see what was in this. You did. Or was that Nancy Pelosi? Sometimes Im confused. But of this I am not. Fox News didnt re-do basic math. Sir, you did. Fox News didnt say you can cover 30 million more Americans and not see a hit in premiums. You did. Fox News didnt say you could throw in those with pre-existing conditions and not have to pay for it. You did. Fox News didnt all but say you could get something for nothing. You did. Fox News didnt come back years later and say, oh yea, we did raise some taxes. You did. Heres where you are right about Fox News, however, Mr. President. We can do math. And did. You cannot. And did not. We said it, and proved it. You didnt. And were all suffering for it. Take it from the numbers guy at Fox. Numbers dont lie. The number of Americans working part-time and nervous. The number of retirees days away from being dumped on exchanges and anxious. The number of company bosses with any news to pass along on those exchanges, but still clueless. The number of doctors who want out. The number of congressmen now opting out. No, Mr. President, none of those numbers lie. But with all due respect sir, I can only conclude you do know; I know, I know you hate us at Fox. But please take a look in a mirror, and fast. You think were the skunk at your picnic. But that doesnt mean were the ones that stink. Because that smell isnt coming from the folks reporting on your law. Mr. President, that smell is your law.
