“Well, we couldn’t be happier to have that conversation,” the senator declared, starting off strong by highlighting people in his state who received timely preventive care thanks to their new insurance.

But that one point was about all the Democratic lawmaker could muster.

“Over and over again,” he went on, “people still on the uh… healthcare benefits from uh, the… um… um… of the seniors who are… uh… getting their, uh, pharmaceuticals paid for… I’m struggling for the, for the — donut hole! There we go!”

“It’s been very good for most Rhode Islanders,” an embarrassed Whitehouse continued. “And there are good stories for people to tell out there, and we think this is a great opportunity to tell the real human stories, and not just the political attack ad lines that the Republican Party is bring to this conversation.”

Rhode Island should really be proud of their voting for this embarrassment. This fool obviously is not up for election in 2014. Any who are up get pale and choke up with any mention of nobamacare.

Perhaps he could explain just how Zerocare helps seniors on Medicare. Because I know that the heart med my mom takes goes from a hundred something to $1158 when she his her “donut hole” and I would love to find out how not to have her spend 30% of her monthly social security payment for 30 days of one medication.

Guess when you are representing a blue state, you don’t have to know what the hell you are talking about.

Most dem/libs are lazy, they are more likely to vote straight ticket than have to think about who they are actually voting for and besides the dem line sounds so caring......

Nobama and that bunch are desperate to find anything to give some inspiration for their “Come yets” to actually go to the trouble to vote in November. They won’t! We better!

Somebody should have given him a memo on Obama stationery saying A Doughnut Hole is like a Black Hole for individual coverage. Now do you understand?

Read "Washington DC thinks Covered California is the crown jewel of ObamaCare, or something," Whitehouse. Then let's have a follow-up interview and see how you defend it. You've DESTROYED the world's greatest health care system.

Rhode Island should be dissolved and folded into the equally degenerate Connecticut. Their place in Washington should be taken by a new state, East California, split off from the current state of Aztlan.

We’re excited to have this debate. I’m hearing from people who are so happy; who are going to the doctor for the first time and being diagnosed with illnesses.

He said that. LOL!

If East Kali was combined with Nevada, it would counter-balance lib LV and make a very conservative state.

If I remember US History, there was some pretty strange reasons for forming RI.
