Perhaps PBO thought the term would appeal to the crowd. This was Pennsylvania, after all, the state PBO imagines to be filled with bitter people clinging to "antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment."

It has been my experience that liberals are as un-PC as hell in private.

Zer0 just let one slip out.

I’m guessing the word gypsy was recently used in front of him...Maybe that Whitehouse Social Chick named Rogers. Her mother was a voodoo queen or something which could connect to gypsies.

This is the ‘macaca’ moment for the Post-Racial President. I think I hear crickets regarding any criticism.

Hey, Zero! We already have 50 STATE agencies making sure the insurance companies operating within their borders deliver as promised. Here’s a question: What will the Fed version do “extra” that none of the state agencies are currently doing?
