Obama pulled their asses out of the fire.

It's some kind of stupid not to recognize that.

Unfortunately many or our house and senate representatives are that kind of stupid.

They are going to be shocked when big money health swats them down like flies.

The Koch bros and others of their ilk are not the big fish in this pond.
