I suppose there is some evidence of that, like clinton.

It must suck that they cant do that all by themself.
LOL. Exactly what policies have the Republicans pushed forward? Nada. Exactly.

Blind support is stupid. How do you think Republicans won? How many years of complaining about ACA and immigration with no viable legislation to show for it? Yet people are still falling for the rhetoric.....

For further information to attempt your bias, call 1 800 WAA WAAA. They always back Obama.
Bush isn't office but his policies are still affecting the America, just like how Obama will affect America with his policies after he leaves. So far modern republicanism hasn't really produced any ideas or policies that have strengthen this country in sometime; which is a pity because we need two strong parties, not an impotent one and an incompetent one.

Such conjecture.

I guess you don't think the opinions of black Americans should count as much as the opinions of non-black Americans.

Actually people are wise enough to understand no legislation is better than Democrat approved legislation.

Wait until the effects of the ACA hit after the first of the year, turn the IRS upside down, delay refunds and confuse half the population since the Congress comfortably in Obama's hands "had to pass it in order to understand it."

Right-wingers spewed the same rhetoric last year. What we got was an insured rate not seen since at least the late 90s, premiums that increased at the lowest rate in ages, and healthcare for citizens with pre-existing conditions. The few predominantly red States that expanded Medicaid saw their rate of uninsured drop by as much as 40%.

You're going to be waiting for that "Obamacare disaster" for a long time.
