6. Obama lied....and I have ZERO problem with it

The underlining premise of Obamacare is a more equitable distribution of health care costs. The ONLY way that would be possible is if low risk/low cost individuals contributed equally. What this means is that men will subsidize pregnancy care. Young will subsidize elderly care, etc., etc, etc. Sadly, our public is too stupid and/or too selfish to support this if it affects them. Obama said what he needed to say in order to get the bill passed.

Sadly, as I knew they would, the public (Democrats included) raised hell when it finally dawned on them that shared responsibility means they share some of the costs. Even more sadly, Obama caved to the pressure and gave a one year extension.

I see three options here:
1. You are trying to be obtuse
2. You have had your head in the sand, or
3. You damn well what I am saying is true and are just lying.
