The American people didn't support the current health care plan but Democrats passed it against the will of the American people, the majority of Americans want Obamacare repealed.

"Health Care" may have been part of his platform but the American people were and still are against this particular health care bill. Hell I'm all for health care reform but anyone with a brain is against Obamacare.

No the suprise was he did it without all the American peoples blessing behind closed doors with non elected officials,lobbyists writing it...or even reading it before its passage. I do not want socialized medicine here and i did not vote for him or his platform.

Obama: Sounds like a plan!

Republicans: Let's slash medicare, medicaid,..

Obama: Hold on now, those are essential programs, how about we slash the pork like the bloated military, handouts to the massive corporations and the tax cuts for the rich?

Republicans: No, and especially not our tax cuts.

Obama: We both need to make some cuts

Republicans: No, only "your" stuff, nothing on our side.

Obama: Come on guys, just a little?

Republicans: No

Obama: Please?

Republicans: No

Obama:,....Ok
Oh I am sure that is exactly how it goes... but it needs some unicorns and rainbows to really fill it out. /boggle
