President Barack Obama lashed out at Republican opponents of the healthcare law he pioneered on Thursday. In a feisty speech at a Washington-area college, Obama defended the 2010 Affordable Care Act against Republican critics who say it is an example of government gone too far.

Has the president or any Congressman ever answered the question that if Obamacare is so, so good, why are they getting waivers for it???

The Founding Fathers must be spinning in their graves. I know John Adams is. “Americans” have let them down and surrendered everything they devoted their lives to giving us. But hey! You can’t fix stupid!

That’s right.

I’m sure the question has been asked in town hall meetings but as you say, evaded and the subject was changed.

I guess that means he is sharply critical of me. Hmmm, I don’t really care for him either. Now that we understand each other.....

By my count, this is the 1,710th day of his presidency that Obama has lashed out and denounced the Republicans.

Its so easy to tell, with his thin skin, when someone is doing something that worries him or is effective.

The dictator wannabe will brook no opposition to total power for himself. This is literally the ONLY thing he cares about.
