for more people to wake up and recognize this madness?

Did anyone see the CNN polls. While there is a majority of people who support ACA, a shockingly large minority don't support it. And I'll bet you anything that they don't know WHY.

I'm so sick and tired of these idiots. Wish they'd just spontaneously combust.

It doesn't matter what happens. Check out Twitter right now. Tea Party stuff is trending. It's a hopeless case with those fools.

It is just mind-boggling.

Also saw the one they did on who's fault it was...I don't remember the exact numbers, but like 46 (?) % republicans, 30-something % Obama and 13% (?) Both... 30 something Obama? Really?

Who are these people?

So, 30-something being less than 40-something is clear evidence their numbers are plummeting.

Just not fast enough.

I agree about his being an American Senator. His newsletters are informative, and he looks beyond his own district. A righteous man indeed. America's so lucky to have him.

Almost all of the programs since the 1960's that have benefited our country have been Socialist in actual fact. My family on my maternal side are Scandinavian, and were active in liberal politics. Some were honestly Socialist. I'm active in the local Democratic party, leaving it as just "liberal." Someone has to act on the reality of political terms and true meanings.

for our President. Yes I have been upset with him on past

issues... As of late, with the way he kept us out of war after he

listened to us about that, and now honoring his word on health care for

so many that need it! I applaud him..

I will add...in all my years working in politics I have never seen such hate

as I have today from this RW congress... How dare them!!!

We as Democrats must stick together and find a way to gain a majority

back so we never have to deal with this again!

Its a sad sad day.. but I will finally sign my child up for much awaited health

insurance...

Thank you POTUS!!!Barack Obama... today you rock in my book!!!!

They hate most of the people in America. They hate the United States government. They hate democracy. They hate peace. They hate freedom of religion.

They should move... except they hate the rest of the world, too.
