30. Reality?

Nov 2013

Reality is that every time in my impoverished life that I've gotten medical coverage is from a Democratic administration, first with President Clinton and now with President Obama.

Reality is that I'm defending this President not because I'm some slobbering, starstruck brainless moron that kisses the ass of anyone in power, but because I think he's worthy of my defense.

Reality is that before you type snarky bullshit like that to me or someone like me next time, it might be best that you withhold judgment rather than trying to explain away the cause of someone liking this President.

But in the event that I'm just a damn dirty liar, I assure you that the expanded Medicaid in my state (made possible by Obamacare), under which I am now covered, will cover the full expense of pulled muscles.
