15. With the ACA
Sun Jan 19, 2014, 11:23 AM

I feel that it would have been counter productive if Obama would have tried to get a single payer through due to the teabaggers/republiCONs in the house. That plus we had Baucus as the lead man on our side. I never did trust that man as far as I could throw his stinking ass as he's always been a sell out. ACA is less than what it could have been but I feel it is a step in the right direction, which to me is good.

If Obama would have gone after the wall street crooks he'd been impeached before he got out the door. We have a bunch of racist bigots in congress, specially on the house side.

I truly believe the gears of justice grinds ever so slowly and in the end we'll see justice, providing we keep the senate and especially if we win the house. I just don' see how I can hold the democrats or the president responsible for what has happened.

A lot goes on that we don't know about and a lot of shit we think we know is bullshit is what I truly think.
