You are so right, I just had a chat with our liberal snowbird neighbor from MA about Obama care. She is a retired pharmacist and was complaining about all the changes, insurance increases, etc. so I thought it was an opening. I brought up Obama care, not even in a bad way- just mentioned it- she jumped in and corrected me that it was NOT Obama care, it is the Affordable Health Care Act. She proceeded to lecture me that Obama had nothing to do with it; according to her Obama came up with the perfect health care plan and the solution to all our health care problems...but that is NOT what was passed according to my liberal neighbor. She further informed me that Congress and the media are against Obama and of course the horrible Republicans would not let him pass his perfect health care and we were stuck with the AHC Act that did pass. I have to say I was nearly speechless but did manage to say when all this was done the Republicans didn’t have the power to stop anything and the AHC Act was crammed down all our throats by Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid so if Obama wanted something different he could have had it. Liberal neighbor then informed me that even the Democrats in Congress are against Obama and that is why he cannot get everything fixed!!
Oh my, there is no way to reach these people- it truly is a mental illness...cult...what have you, unexplainable...
I'm sorry, but at that point I would have told her she was entirely inaccurate in her assessment, and then asked her why should would EVER think that some guy who went to law school, never really practiced law, worked as an adjunct assistant professor (or instructor) at a law school for awhile, and then was a community organizer would have any clue about constructing the ‘perfect’ health care plan. The fact that she jumped all over you tells you that she wasn't worried about offending you.
