This week we found out it was just words. Barack Obama finally admitted on Friday thay you will not be able to keep your doctor if Obamacare is passed. Glenn Beck discussed this stunning admission by President Obama: Obama finally admitted to the GOP you can kiss your doctor good-bye: The last thing I will say, though — let me say this about health care and the health care debate, because...

I know things are really bad, having read about the millions of people looking for work and personally knowing some who have been laid off over the past year.
