Neat, when your Obama you can make rules for everyone but yourself.

That photo reminds me of a funny commercial from the Sixties written by Stan Freberg. The line was "Nine out of ten doctors recommend Chunk King chow mein." chunk king photo

Yep... pure astroturf... and the general public has no clue how all this “support” for Obama’s plan is spin and fakery.
