A day after he questioned President Obama’s decision to unwind a major tenet of the health-care law and said the nation’s capital might not go along, D.C. insurance commissioner William P. White was fired.

Depending on government can be very very threatening
So much for Diversity.

He should be gratefull.

Maybe he can now get some food stamps and unemployment.
He had the nerve to criticize Party Secretary! Off to the Gulag!
That is what a majot=rity of US Citizens think about Bummer.Why can’t we fire him TOMORROW!!!
