O-B-A-M-A-C-A-R-E, the president's signature first-term legislative achievement, may spell another round of political trouble for many Democrats, who have some new explaining to do, thanks to the White House.

Common core explicitly tells teachers to teach that democracies don’t work and communism is successful (yes I know and she knows we aren’t a democracy but that’s what most people think we are)
