Obama saves us from our current horror of health (sarc off)

Liberals always assuming we know nothing, always assuming we are criminals... They are the arrogance of it all for the health “de-secured” idiots they love to manufacture.

"We're looking into the situation."

"We plan on getting something done."

Any private nany company out there supporting and funding Obama is stupid. He is out to shut operations altogether. You don’t motivate private property of any kind by criminalizing private insurance of individuals.

Kind of hard to ignore it. After all, they launched the Obamacare special IIRC.
