The dems will be running (for their lives). The dems and Obama are simply doing absolutely nothing to increase jobs. They are pathetically STOOPID!
ObamaCare = RAID for seniors.
Seems a shame so many voted for the man that will do his damnest to kill the lot of’em thru bad medical pratices and rationing.
