I'm gobsmacked. We wanted Medicare for all. He wants to give us Medicare for fewer.

Really?

Comparing him to Hoover is unfair...to Hoover.

He will end up in a class by himself.

1. Five sources, R and D, say he offered to hike it from 65 to 67.
It is no falsehood, no hyperbole, to say the President has officially taken on Republican policies.

10. On a personal level
I wish I hadn't had to go on Medicare at 65. I am still working with wonderful health insurance that cost me very little. Medicare is $100 per month. If I had been able to wait until I was 67 I would have saved $2200.

11. ASSHOLE
That is the class he belongs in...

Flame me, kick me off of the forum, but that is what he is -- AN ASSHOLE and I voted for this ball-less "character"

Forgive me for my frank comments, but I've had it with this guy.

13. I'm thinking that's the case
I am just so sick of this.

Disgusted doesn't even BEGIN to cover it...our choices these days are not so much.

It's like do you want to be shot to death, or stabbed to death? Neither are good -- being shot may be quicker, but both suck!

GRRRR!
