    Congratulations Mr. President
    Finally, an award he deserves, and from a left leaning fact checker no less.

    Well done Mr. President. You promised us the utmost in transparency and cooperation and gave us the utmost in secrecy, obstruction, partisanship and just lied, lied, lied.

    I hope you're proud.

    I thrived and survived under Bush as I do under Obama and all the presidents before them and whatever family values or moral majority or TParty group that was hollering at the time. God willing and the creek don't rise.

    At least none of them forced an entire nation to lose their insurance and possibly their doctor. And spare us the "it's so much better than what you had" drivel.

    By the way, this also marks another achievement Bush couldn't reach, liar of the year.

    I will call this an exaggeration. That's as nice as I can get about such roaring rhetorical BS.

    That rhetoric is much closer to the truth than what we get from the emperor. I don't know anyone that got to keep the insurance they had, and you yourself have argued we were just losing the "junk plans" we were saddled with.

    I still have mine, and my private-pay son still has his -- neither of us got negative changes, and my son's premium went down by $15 or so.

    I didn't lose mine. They're HAPPY to take my money.

    But..... As a right winger who inherently understands market issues, I wonder if you thought about what you're saying...

    Clearly, if the insurance company's cancelled the ENTIRE nations health care policies, the ENTIRE industry would go BROKE.

    Why can't wingers just admit they don't even know what they have. They just know its cheap.

    Um, I'm not and we were forced to another more expensive plan with worse coverage as was my wife but I already said that.

    Clearly you two have an aversion to reality. The entire premise of the thread is the lie of the year being you can keep your insurance.

    Looks like a phallus to me. Clinton had a propensity to draw them.
