Curious he should use the phrase “free ride” considering he’s been on one his whole life.

Questions not asked to Buttcrack.
“You mentioned that people of the US should have the same health care plan that congress has. Why is this bill so different and draconian than what you had as a Senators?
“Why has congress not included them in this far sweeping plan? If the bill isn’t good enough for congress to abide by, why is it good enough for the people of the United States?

Leftists only get upset when they see productive people (ie, “whitey”) “riding the system”.

Mr. Obama said, “penalties are appropriate for people who try to free ride the system and force others to pay for their health insurance.” Wouldn't that be the President and members of Congress?

It becomes more and more apparent to me that our national economy is based on slavery. Such has been true more a great many human societies over thousands of years. America was established, in large part, in an effort to find a new way of structuring a national economy -- basing our social contract on freedom and personal responsibility.
Today, the government has a gun to my head and hisses, "If you don't pay for the support of others, people are going to die in the streets. You don't want people dying in the streets, do you Punk?"
That's the sign of a slave-based economy.

How many free ride illegals that we pay for are going to be jailed. Wow. This might be away to get them to leave! ( Not holding breath.)
Obama has had a free ride all his life. He also will soon have a free ride right on out of office. How dare a president of the USA threaten a free people?
Now the fascist face of Obama is being revealed,and people say, "nah, it couldn't happen here!" HOw do YOU like him now, eh?
Its appropriate that Obama be impeached. Its time to stop the president from giving his toadies a free ride on everyone else.
APPROPRIATE INDEED.

Funny and true. They also can’t get you with tax evasion if you are in jail too.
