“That is a disparaging reference to the President of the United States. “

However, "Affordable Care" is a lie so that one doesn't work either. I think the "Ramming Socialism Down America's Throat Act" would probably be the most accurate name for Barry's commie bull**** "act".

Is that anything like calling an extension of current tax rates a ‘tax cut?’
