He is one of the most powerful men in the world. He can give life and he can take life at a whim. Don't get so upset when someone says fuck you to him. I promise you that Obama will be ok as he does the speaking tour at $300,000 a pop. People get pissed when they get fucked in life. People get pissed when the system is set up in an unfair manner. Not one person will tell you that the ACA is set up in the best possible way or in a fair way. Not one person will tell you that the ACA doesn't fuck some people who need it most. Let people vent and don't take it so personal with respect to one of the most powerful men in the world. Your brothers and sisters at DU need your support. Obama, not so much. He is sitting on millions, is in charge of the most powerful military in the world and likes to use it, has an extremely cushy life ahead of him where he will never, at any point in time, wonder how he will afford healthcare. Let people vent. The loved ones and themselves depend on healthcare. They have no right to it, they have to fight for it. That in itself is enough to piss anyone off. If you think their words are directed at the wrong person, tell them you are sorry for their situation and understand that their situation is worse than anything the one percent will ever feel.
