My health insurance shot up $5/paycheck, a 25% increase! Outrageous! Since it's Obama's fault and it's health insurance we're talking about here not to mention the fact that we both smoke and the going rate for a pack here is about $5, I hereby declare President Obama owes me one pack of cigarettes every two weeks until his presidency ends. I prefer menthols Mr. Obama.

Was it Obama's fault your health insurance rates were going up even before he was president?

So you were paying 20$ a paycheck and now your paying 25$ a paychack? That's an increase of 120$ a year in your health insurance costs? Take it from an old timer, I'd sit down and keep quiet if I were you. You got it made in the shade.
Oh, and just for snits and shizzles, please provide a direct link that it was Obama's health care plan that caused a rise in your premiums. Last I heard, health care insurance premiums have risen 120 percent in the 10 years prior to Obamacare.

There's no way I'm gonna defend Obama but......... are you sure the smokes didn't have something to do with the increase?

You're upset about a $5 increase? Seriously?
