David Gregory on MSNBC: Government has never accomplished something as big as ACA

David Gregory said on MSNBC that this government has never accomplished something as big as Obama care. What an idiot, SS, Medicare, WWII, Medicaid, man on moon, Civil War, are whole lot bigger than referring people to private health insurance and providing a subsidy based on your income.

Although we've never done anything as *complicated* as ACA, which is a problem.

You have to use words that end in "est" to do cable news/op ed. If you refuse to do hyperbole and and speculate baselssly then they will fire you and get someone else who will.

The audience for MSNBC is 1 in 1,115 people, or .08% of the US population.

He must have it in his contract that if he makes a guest appearance he doesn't have to get questioned on the dumb shit he says.

They US fought 2 gulf wars, rolled Medicare plan B, created things like GPS, helped fund the science of climate change, etc...

David Gregory is just ignorant, stupid, or blatantly lying to the public. Either way he demonstrates time and time again he isn't intelligent enough to have his job.

...no wonder Americans have turned their backs on them.

Republicon propaganda pimps like Gregory & Limbaugh repeatedly make it plain that they are the pathetic party of negativity and FAIL.
