Here's a little protip: Just because I don't like the man doesn't mean I want to see him fail. If he fails, our country fails. I don't want that to happen. I still want to see him do good things. THis healthcare plan that's being proposed is not it.
Obama said his plan was a starting point that would require tweaking; not his term, but I don't recall the source. That he never improved upon it is my greatest disappointment in him.

And if the Republicans could, or would, improve it, rather than moving in a spirit toward completely reversing it, that would be real victory for them, even in my left-ish eyes.

I've reached a new sobering conclusion. This country needsto fail. It's going to take a major collapse and suffering to a lot of people to snap people out this party worship and ignorance that's taking place. Until Republican voters suffer for their decisions, this country will never change. It will continue to collapse.

An official statement by a sitting US president is insulting a woman's looks and intelligence, because she was critical of him on the morning show he claims not to watch.

How can you people condone this behavior? How does this dignify the office of the Presidency?

i.e. Those making the accusations are guilty of exactly the same thing.

Maybe you don't see it.
What insult posted above?

You do realize you are an antagonist that brings on the personal insults?
Some insults are a class effect and are not personal, either.

I do believe playing victim is getting old. You get what you give.

He must have gotten distracted midtweet because he forgot to add that it was Wednesday yesterday and she forgot to wear pink.

And in her mission to stem cyber-bullying that will be her advice to kids.

Johnny when people say mean things about you on line return the favor but be 10 times more mean.

I guess we can conclude her agenda of combating cyber bullying is no longer taking place.
