What is the difference?
Did you open the link at all?????

It wasnt an article. IT WAS THE TEXT WORD FOR WORD OF TRUMPS SPEECH. There was no editorial or opinion, it was the unedited text of his speech.

Yes. But I was pointing out how some on the left lambast a Fox News sourced article, then turn around and post articles from NPR or Huff Post.


Not a huge Trump fan, but not a fan of Biden either.

But that wasnt the point. That was the un-redacted, word for word, text of his speech. There were no opinion pieces, no editorials, no anything else. Nothing but Trumps words in that link. Nothing.

Trump lied no more or less than presidents before him.

I guess many are forgetting Obama's "if you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor" speech.


None of our nationally elected leaders are people I look up to. People were bamboozled by both Obama and Trump and many found no faults with either. That in and of itself was alarming.

I know what point you were making...BFD. Again...was never a fan of Trump or his speeches and find blind supporters of any political figure to be disturbing, really.



Still...many here poo poo a source without acknowledging the content of an article.

Trump was the most prodigious liar ever to occupy the Oval. And Obama, who was speaking to those of us insured through our employer, was correct. I kept my doctor.

No doubt the orange guy was Pinocchio #1.
But Obamacare did nothing to improve the US healthcare system. Prior to it’s dubious passage based on a lot of lies, 80% of insured American were satisfied with their healthcare insurance.
But afterwards millions did lose their doctors and the massive amounts of clerical work required has greatly diminished the doctor/patient relationships.
The gullible people were sold a bill of goods.

I would agree Obamacare has issues, but to say it did nothing to improve the US healthcare system is hardly fair. Ask the approximately 20 million people who have health insurance under Obamacare that didn't have it prior. Was Obamacare a panacea that resolved all of the cost and inequity issues in our healthcare system? Of course not. But it did improve access for a lot of people.

O’Care would have been even more impactful had not the entire Republican Party apparatus sabotaged the state exchanges which made it difficult for people to get quick access to health care. The GOP is good at obstruction and sabotage.
