Obama's ratings are going to go up because of this |

And if he's half as smart as he seems in his speeches, hopefully he can ride that wave to get some things pushed through.

68. "Public Insurance Option" |
|
"The same as Automobile Insurance is manadatory". How pathetic, he speaks about individual irresponsibility while he hires Michael Taylor, Mister Unstested GMO into the food supply as a person to oversea food safety.
Our food system is headed for a collapse similar to the Industrial collapse, and it affects our health, and he has the gall to talk about irresponsibility.
Hey Obama, you can take you Plan B, recasted "Public Insurance Option" and shove it where the sun don't shine.
You are the most blatant Corporate Shill I have ever seen. May God have mercy on your soul.
But I'm sure his DLC handlers are quite proud.
