What do you suggest that Orin Hatch, or any other Republican Senator, do? If one of them called you tonight and said “Mark17, I want to stop Obamacare. What do you want me to do?”, what would you say to them?
Tell the President your state is seceding from the Union and join the other 54 states in removing the communists from the White House. And that, in President Mursi's words "all options are on the table".
SIDE NOTE: The reason Obama said 57 states is because there are 57 states, but only 55 of them are not classified. There are some secret bases that legally are a U.S. state and our possession of the territory has long been a matter of dispute between major powers, but US citizens need not know. Everyone else knows, pretty much.
ANYWAY, the non classified are the 50 we all know, and then:
Puerto Rico
The Virgin Islands
Guam
American Samoa
Northern Mariana Islands
They are STATES, just like the one you live in. The U.S. has 55 known STATES. And two bastard children.
Obama said it, even knowing the populace sticks with 50 because that's how many stars are on the flag, because it was something he was told in briefings, and he couldn't wait to say it so he could feel superior to the rest of the populace. However, it backfired on him, and he couldn't fix it by explaining why there really were 57 to the public. So he had to keep his mouth shut and take it. He didn't like that. But it proved to him that the public was as dumb as he thought.
(Disclaimer: Other than the part about there being 55 states ,which is fact, the rest is complete satire and coincidentally happens to be true.)
