“Congress to get Obamacare exemption”
Why, of course they are. Either Congress will exempt themselves and their pets from Obamacare, or our fuehrer Obama will exempt them by Executive Diktat. The Politburo always gets better medical care than the peasants. Don’t ya’ll know that by now?
And where is the GOP/RNC standing in solidarity w/ their constituents and saying “No, thank you, we will abide by the Law, same as any Citizen of the U.S.A.”? Nor pointing out the hypocrisy of the Left?
Yeah, didn’t think so...
This is all you need to know about ObamaCare.
If it’s so wonderful, how come everybody is clamoring to get out of it and waivers are flying around left and right.
This government stinks to high heaven.
If it isn’t the Republicans trying to screw us over by importing the third world here, it’s the Democrats signing us up for this POS healthcare program.
This is blatant war on the American taxpayer by the federal government. It can’t be made any plainer than that.
