I mean, who do you think you are? Some crystal ball economic tea leaf dreamer? Seriously arguing that Obama "saved or created" (net) jobs, requires that you be a "crystal ball economic tea leaf dreamer" (and would even if it did really happen, even though it probably didn't, esp. if your just talking about productive and somewhat durable private sector jobs).

Until it's fixed. Until then you could try eating some humble pie. I see. So good news is Obama, bad news is Bush. Got it. Trying to take cost out of it is indeed part of the solution...but the GOP uses that as a political tool to fear monger seniors and score cheap political points. Democrats doing it for 50 years: Good. Republicans doing it 1 year: Bad. Got it.

I suggest you take the time to understand what "zero sum game" means. You and I are paying for the uninsured today...just as we would be for seniors if Medicare were not there. The solution is for everyone to have a direct financial stake in not spending money on medical care. ObamaCare has zero incentives for people to save, and many incentive to spend more. So the problem is bound to get much worse. The next step will be severe rationing...
