Then he should quit and let the people with balls and the desire to tap into the frustration of most of the country and make the case that if this Obamacare is not good enough for Congress and their staffs,the AFL-CIO THEN it’s not good for the rest of the country. If bone head can’t make that case and won’t even try he should get out,this thing is disaster.
