Is Markey still proud of his Obamacare vote?

If you happen to run into U.S. Sen. Eddie Markey at Whole Foods in Chevy Chase -- as in Maryland -- ask him if he still feels good about giving us Obamacare.

Of the thousands of votes he has cast in his 38 years as a member of Congress, first in the U.S. House and now in the Senate, he is "proudest" of his vote in favor of the health-care plan.

"It is my proudest vote," Markey said repeatedly in the House, and then again as a candidate for the U.S. Senate in 2014.

The question is relevant in the wake of Obamacare architect Jonathon Gruber's unguarded remarks that Americans were too stupid to understand Obamacare -- which is why it would pass -- and New York Sen. Chuck Schumer's most recent comments that it was a mistake for Democrats to pass it in the first place.

I thought he was still busy trying to force cell phone manufacturers to install an AM radio?

Of course he is, he's a commie! The question should be...are the like-minded wannabe commies who regularly vote for him proud to have Obamacare?
