This -- social media on fire former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin quickly taking to Twitter she tweets.
Obama lied to the American people again he said it wasn't attacked Obama lies freedom dies governor Sarah.
How are you -- up.
Very well governor that's about a 140 characters or less is how you feel about this a decision today announced that now tell me given more chance to amplify -- that you -- what happened to that.
And I -- received a lot of messages about this one today and a lot of the emails and text used the word treachery.
In the messages and I tend to agree with that that term used to describe what happened today but.
We got to be optimistic about it basically what chief Justice Roberts did for us for the American people was put this issue Obama care and he -- individual mandate back in the hands of the people via.
Our representatives so now.
Backing congress' hands congress has opportunity to act on this tax -- this has been.
Deemed attacks -- as opposed to Obama's insistence that it wasn't attacks.
And after the July -- just I expect congress to come -- and -- -- this tax they have the power to.
Adopt and enacted tax sales from the power to rescinded I want to see that done in July.
Right -- you know and president -- said this is out of tax.
It was a chief Justice Roberts in the majority that has decided has deemed it a tax which is of course -- -- -- at the Supreme Court.
I'm curious -- is this pay tax or not.
Absolutely its attacks it's nearly -- trillion dollars worth of tax.
Deal levies fines that.
Terrorists if you will whatever anybody else wants to call -- this is a penalty it is a tax on the people.
-- attacks on state sits at reading of Medicaid funds which will result in -- and that's face having to find other funds to supplement their Medicaid budgets.
Overall this is about a trillion dollar more attacks put on that.
On the American people think think Greta that there really is anything's as such says -- -- a free lunch there is no such thing as a free much.
And the 5% of Americans who are paying their taxes today.
Aren't going to get hit with even more tax to pay for now this mandate of Obama care the other 50% -- thinking that perhaps they're gonna get a free -- gets a free health care.
They're not they're gonna have less availability of health care they'll have fewer choices they'll have less efficient more bureaucratic health care -- and it will be rationed to say otherwise really -- -- defies economic and common sense to say that health care with more enrollees in the program.
Well not have to be rationed so people who are thinking that this is gonna be a free ride for them to 50% of Americans who aren't paying taxes today.
He got another thing come and so what what.
Do you expect that's going to happen from here on and to through the election into next year earlier to -- as one as governor Ronnie was president and the other is if President Obama is reelected.
Well if governor Romney is elected president and let's hope that the GOP does take over the White House and can secure this and a heads.
And holds onto the house.
Then I'm obviously.
First -- on the list of priorities must be repealing.
And replacing obamacare -- company that makes more sense you don't get.
Get rid imagine that tort reform problems that we have get rid of that anti competitive -- brought up problems that we have.
That -- are prohibiting people from being out eight and shocking for good health care coverage and prices are problems that we've talked about that.
There are common sense truly sound economic solutions for well the Republicans -- Common sense constitutional Democrats will be able to -- -- -- if I Republicans take over of the White House and house and senate.
Now if Obama -- is reelected.
Well didn't we will be a fundamentally transformed country -- Obama promised us when he was a candidate that he was hell bent on doing to us.
We're heading down that road now this obamacare mandate this decision that was made today Barack Obama even proposing it -- ramming it through.
And down our throats through Pelosi and Reid's when did the embracing you know of it.
Oh that's a harbinger of things to come so if Obama is reelected.
Well America you will no longer recognize the country that today -- truly love and and can enjoy all of its freedom and prosperity and security if Obama is reelected because it's Obama care.
He is a harbinger of things yet to come.
Let him be -- -- happens especially in them in the states have a have a decision to make right now with the Medicaid expansion.
In and they decide whether gonna opt in -- opt out -- this decision they have a chance to opt out.
And that's a very sort of pricey and matter for the states and the other hand are gonna have a lot of people who don't have coverage least the ones with a large show that boom population -- under certain income level.
What what how do you -- see that -- Medicaid expansions and I'm very unfolding.
Many many states are not going to be able to afford expansion of Medicaid and these exchanges that are going to tried to be forced down states throats through obamacare.
I would like to see governors be tough and opt out of this.
And exert our tenth amendment rights and tell President Obama who does not understand the constitution he even being a constitutional election -- And suppose -- scholar into our constitution.
Not understanding.
We never reading.
We're absorbing the tenth amendment to understand that -- eight's patent rights we are Sovereign States.
That can make up our own minds about our budgets and how to prioritize.
The dollars that we have in the dollars that are shared.
By the federal government -- to the states.
I'd like to see and constitutionally.
Conservative governors opt out what Obama is going to try to do to the people of America.
Through mandates on top of what the states already have to provide.
Bennett thank you know I see you thank you so much Greta.
