Obamacare


The really funny thing about it is that "Obamacare" is a conservative health care plan. It's almost identical to what Republicans were proposing in the 1990s - and to what Mitt Romney actually passed when he was governor of Massachusetts.

Right-wing think tanks were pushing this exact plan,... until Barack Obama and the rest of the Democrats proposed it. Suddenly, it's "socialism." Heh, heh. Well, it would be funny, if the American people weren't dumb enough to believe it.

The left isn't particularly happy, because it's way too conservative for them. But the right will never see anything a Democrat does as being worthwhile. And the tea-baggers are so hysterical at the thought of a black man in the White House that they can't see anything else.

It's crazy, isn't it? How did we Americans become like this?
