"States should never have taken up healthcare law" appears to be the big takeaway from the speech delivered in Germany.
I heard portions of this speech. It ran on several channels at once, an important speech too covering several important issues and delivered without teleprompter. Perhaps you should watch it in full listen carefully and be fully informed then come back and tell me your opinions of what he said and in that manner I can become informed too without listening.
That bit up there came at the end during q&a. In my opinion that was not the most significant part of his answer to that question, even though his answer came to me in pieces. Struggling with my own resistance to imperious stretched/clipped speech pattern I clicked off at "the proof that Obamacare is working is the absence of all those terrible catastrophes that were supposed to happen." While all I've read about is insurance companies projecting significant and stultifying rate increases discouraging healthy signups further. Young healthy people uninvolved in politics would rather pay penalty. (But then I only bother with conservative political sites, the others are insane) And who will healthy people blame for being made to pay penalty for not buying insurance that Obama and party required? I'm only guessing, and my guess is based on knowing they're not as stupid as commonly described. Not recognizing that his home state Hawaii cannot afford its own service and wasted half a billion in federal taxpayer's money trying seemed to me more significant than him saying perhaps the Supreme Court should reject the challenge to his healthcare law, and the japes on Twitter that follow in torrent.
More significant than him stating flatly that he does not have a plan for defeating ISIS. The body language speaks to me louder and much more clearly than his singsong stretched/clipped pattern. That awkward moment of Obama stuck sitting on a bench next to Iraqi Prime Minister says everything. He couldn't boyishly twist his entire body toward and around the female Europeron and away from the Prime Minister who came up to sit right there next to him any more than he does. Then standing up makes sure to complete a closed circle turning from and shutting out the little person dressed in brown. Imagine yourself doing that. And why.
The quarter-turn. It is a technique that was actually taught to me and with derisive mocking laughter and a bit high on cocktails about how to cut off conversation in a crowd by simply turning away from it distracted by more interesting conversation and smiling while you do it. And the guy's left, "I think I'll just get another drink" But he can't because he's Muslim.

The Obamacare catastrophes are happening to the hoi-polloi, who are beneath noticing, and that's why they're not happening.
That's the translation of Obama's swill about everything being swell.
It doesn't matter anymore until SCOTUS intervenes this one final time. Otherwise, once leftists foist their rancid political policies onto the rest of us, we are stuck with them. Ever notice how hardly anything, if anything ever gets repealed. Washington DC is toxic glue, their shit sticks to everything and never comes off.
Obama has such rapport with Iran. The Iranians in the video notice his avoidance of them and by hand gestures convey what seems like "why bother?" Then they walk away. If this Obama guy anyone you'd "negotiate" with, no matter who you were? You want cooperation, well for sure insult the other guys in public. Always works.
He acts like the little boy who is made to listen to a recounting of all his misdeeds.
I think the next year, and probably all the succeeding years, of his life are going to find him twisting and turning on that bench, telling questioners that wasn't what happened, trying to duck the reality that, when it came down to brass tacks, he wasn't good at much, after all.
