Yeah, people have far more important things to do, like wait weeks while the Obamacare website allows you to take your turn..

Have any of you ever been to Yellowstone? I guess I'm a little shocked (in view of the press reports) that they are even allowing people into Yellowstone ..... BUT, you get arrested in you try to take a photograph??? You MUST stay in your room??? You are not allowed to leave your room and take a walk???

Tour director Gordon Hodgson told the Livingston Enterprise, a Montana newspaper, that park rangers allowed the group to stay at a lodge for the 48 hours they were allotted under shutdown rules, but refused to let them do anything else in the park — including walk on the boardwalk paths outside the lodge or visit any of the park’s geysers.

At one point he tried to take his tour out and pulled over to let them photograph bison, but a park ranger pulled up and ordered them to get back on the bus, telling them they could be charged with trespassing.
Obama is totally out of Control. Honestly ..... does anyone think this sort of thing is quite sane?

Which of course is the whole idea behind "delaying" the personal mandate.

sorry, but it was a poorly written bill, which became a stupid law, which will hurt more people than it will help
So what is the solution other than start all over, what exactly should be fixed.

Which doesn't explain why the GOTP was shrieking for a "delay" in the personal mandate even BEFORE the website problems became known.

I have to admit (from a State that get's sued by the EPA once a week at minimum -- every day they are out of commission is a Victory. People vote their pocketbooks at the end of the day.

No, they would fire a musket at them, along with their fellow Democratic BUMS and the current president. There is no shortage of idiots so tied to their ideology and party that they are willing to cripple our nation - in both parties.
