Seriously? He's the only president who backed and signed a law that requires everyone to buy a private sector product: health insurance. That's DEFINITELY an attack on freedom.

Wouldn't surprise me that someone that conjured this up is joking. Lots of people who naoes these ideas probably aren't being serious regardless of party.

Too bad California wasn't joking when they saw drunk sex as rape.

He's actually trying to solve the overpopulation problem by driving the suicide numbers up by banning yoga pants. Yoga pants God's gift to modern man, a wellspring of life and happiness.

Yes it was, I provided the link, straight from obama.

Or are you admitting you and obama lied?

Obamacare has not been delayed that much. A few specific sections were delayed. In general the law has moved forward pretty much on schedule.


Been delayed a lot! Heck, the employer mandate has been changed how many times? and the entire ACA has been changed as many as 27+ times...

Which is EXACTLY what I said, continue to read...

Except obama campaigned in EVERY AMERICAN having insurance....I've shown you the link...GO back and read....

LOL...so why did YOU vote for obama? The ACA IS obamas plan...and every dem passed it, without reading it....

Yes, a small population, insignificant state.

Last time I checked they had two senators, also.

I have seen very few women in yoga pants or men in speedos who looked good in them.

America's fourth largest state is a 'small state.'

As I said, it's a shame our schools apparently no longer teach geography.
