I find the gloating over the AHCA withdrawal unattractive [View all]

Last edited Sat Mar 25, 2017, 05:52 PM - Edit history (1)

I understand that people are relieved that the ACA has survived, for now, and I feel that way, too, but it's a serious matter. The over the top gloating trivializes the very real fight we are in, IMO. I believe that Obama is setting a good example for behavior in light of this short term "victory" with an eye toward the long game, winning the actual war.
