Seven of the Democratic lawmakers surrounding President Obama when he signed the Affordable Care Act in 2010 are either now out of Congress or on their way out.
As depicted in this Daily Caller graphic, seven smiling Democrats have gone down or out in the last four years.
Among the retirees:
Tom Harkin: The Iowa senator announced last year that he will step down after completing his fifth term in 2015. Chris Dodd: The Connecticut Democrat chose not to run for re-election in 2010 and now works as a lobbyist for the motion picture industry. John Dingell: Michigan congressman Dingell announced his retirement Monday, effective at the end of this year, after nearly six decades in the House. Patrick Kennedy: The Rhode Island Democrat’s 2011 retirement marked the first time since 1947 that no Kennedys were in Congress. That phenomenon was short-lived.

They’ll all retire as multimillionaires for their “service”, while our military families are on food stamps. We should be outside the Capitol in D.C. Like the Ukrainians and Venezuelans have been in their protests against corruption.
However, this is the one good side of ObamaCare, aka the Unaffordable Care Act. It is flushing out the bad fecal matter from Congress.
Hopefully by 2016 all of the anti American thugs in this picture will be history.
Every single person in that photo except the little boy should be serving a long prison sentence.
"..where's meee at,where's meee at,where's meee at,where's meee at"
Democratcare - simple campaign slogan.
They did their dirty work so why stay around.
Wasn't she off looking for that US flag on Mars when the picture was taken?
REMEMBER THIS DEMOCRATS? As far back as 2008, at the Democrat presidential debate in Nashville, Democrat candidate Obama smilingly campaigned on the glories of his signature healthcare plan---ultimately enacted, by an historic straight Democrat party-line vote, into the "Affordable Care Act"
QUOTING 2008 OBAMA: "No. 1, let me just repeat, if you’ve got a health care plan that you like, you can keep it. All I’m going to do is help you to lower the premiums on it. You’ll still have choice of doctor.”
Repeated over and over ---- with the promise that every American family would be saving $2500.00 on healthcare costs.
Significantly, Obamba NEVER corrected lock-stepping Democrats, all reading from the same Democrat talking points, all of them repeating the same Democrat promises---over and over again.
LOCK-STEPPING PARTY LOYALTY NOT SEEN SINCE 1930- 40's ERA EUROPE Obama And The Dems marched in lockstep. The persistent Dumbocrat drumbeat ---- in obeisance to Obama ---- kept ringing reassuringly in our ears: "If you like your plan, you can keep your plan."
Da MuMMY’s Curse .. One by one.. Where’s muh hankie?
Give the little thug some time
Not nearly enough are retiring and the idiot voter majorities in their districts and states won’t retire them.
It is great that they are retiring...however, they should be imprisoned or deported for what they have done to Free America. One can only hope that those in close proximity to these criminals shun them.
Patches Kennedy had to be the least apt and most unlikely politician of all time. I almost felt sorry for him. I saw him at a Paw Sox game making some anodyne speech during pregame ceremonies celebrating the accomplishments of some nine-year old boy. Just run of the mill, boilerplate crap, and he seemed completely over his head, and it was apparent that, given the circumstances, the entire audience was trying to cut him all the slack in the world. Then a couple of years later, he drove up to Massachusetts to endorse Martha Coakley and he called her “Marsha”. The guy inherited a fortune, all he needs to do is keep himself busy without killing himself with drugs, and he can’t even manage that.
You’re right.
It’s also a crime that those SOB’s are doing to draw very rich, life time pensions at our expense.
Key words: life time.
