Dem Rep Says Use of Term 'Obamacare' Violates House Rules
Fox News ^ | 02/18/2011 | Philip Klein

Moments ago, Rep. Tom Graves was arguing that the amendment to defund the implementation of the national health care would stop the law dead in its tracks.

...

"In two previous gentlemen’s statements on the amendment, both of them referred to the Affordable Care Act, which is the accurate title of the health care reform law, as ‘ObamaCare,’" Wasserman Schultz said. "That is a disparaging reference to the President of the United States. It is meant as a disparaging reference to the President of the United States. It is clearly in violation of the House rules."

Disparaging words for ObamaCare - ObummerCare, DeathStar Care.

disparaging words that Odumbo has used for Americans rascists, Americans are spoiled.

Odumbo is not a disparaging word it is a word that details whom Odumbo truly is an individual whom is dumb about America, american values and principals. Odumbo is not an American he is actually a third world moronic individual whom claims he is an American citizen by birth, but his father was a british national under british sovereignity (kenya) and he went to college at Occidental and Columbia University as an international student from Indonesia. tell me how can an international student be both international student and an american citizen.

Therefore any word spoken about Odumbo can be a disparaging word.

When I use the term, it’s a disparaging reference to the health care bill—not to Obama. If I wanted to disparage him too, I would call it “HusseinCare” or “ZeroCare” or the like.

“Barky” is my preferred term for the [person unproven to be eligible for the office of] president.

I think “Obamakill” would be a better name for the unconstitutional law.

In the not-to-distant future, any expression containing
the word "obama" will likely be considered as being
a "disparaging reference" and/or slanderous.

At least they are now acknowledging that their health-care act of abomination is a very negative thing and therefore anyone being associated with it is being disparaged.
