Even little kids know when they've been had.
Like the little girl in the bank commercial who gets a tiny plastic pony while the other little girl gets a real pony, and the little boy who gets the cardboard truck, most Americans think President Barack Obama is hiding behind the fine print in his incomprehensible health care plan.

That’s exactly what 0 thinks he has been doing to the American citizens. ....He’s apparently too slow on the uptake to realize that most, including many who voted for him (without being paid to do so), no longer believe his BS.
perfect analogy
