They all said if the ACA was so good why isn't Obama signing himself and his family up for it, well today he did just that. He signed him and his family up for a Bronze plan in a health care plan made available by the Affordable Care Act on the D.C. marketplace. Talk about taking the wind out of the neo-cons sails. If it's good enough for our President no one can say it's not good enough for them. Check mate!

[Clownkicker]

^^^^RealTool is an endless hoot.

Think how dangerous he would be if he had just a smidge of intelligence.:lol:

[johnforbes]

Obama can go get free care at any time from Bethesda, so it is silly that he would sign up for and pretend to use Obamacare.

The reality is he won't ever use it.

[BilboBagend]

True enough little wannabe faux.

There is no doubt that symbology would be lost on you, and it still does cost Obama $400.00 per month. That is not even symbolic. It is real money. His money. He is paying for that symbol.

[BilboBagend]

Now here is some old historical symbology;

Republican members of Congress "symbolically" threw their staff under the bus for political purposes.

Senator Grassley(R) made a special case ame3nsdment to the ACA for Members of Congress and their staff forcing them onto the health care exchanges rather than keeping them on their previous employer supplied insurance.

There was some confusion about whether or not staff would keep their employer contribution to the health care costs. Senators and Congressmen would keep their benefit of full coverage at government cost in any case.

Senator Vitter(R) proposed an amendment that would remove all employer contributions to their staffs health care costs.

This was know as the "Obama Exemption for members of Congress, note how it was created and proposed by Republicans, Just another case of Republicans creating something and blaming Obama for it while lying about what it does. We can all remember this false shit storm in a can created by Republicans

Biblo, let me call your bluff once again.

Send me an email with your professional web site, and I'll send you a link to mine, and within the next 15 minutes you can be looking at my real PQs.

Want to find out whether my credentials are real?

You can easily do that.

[Dogzilla]

JJ.....I heard that your only credentials were the rainbow stickers on your rear bumper.

I heard you had one on your car, too.

[johnforbes]

Car?

Where I am now, I'm gonna need a sleigh!

Symbology? Symbology is the problem!!!! Most politicians never do anything substantive...they rely on "feel good, look good" acts that mean nothing and have no positive effect. They don't fix anything. They just want to look good to their "constichents."

Bubba: "Ah feel your pain...." Yes, but DO something about it...

Symbology...hah...another characteristic of the liberal mindset that proves they live in their own fantasy world.

Gee, the whole point of the Republican strategy since Obama was elected was to either do nothing or be destructive. They have been extremely successful at doing nothing and tried very hard at being destructive with only a modicum of success.

Gee, the whole point of the Republican strategy since Obama was elected was to either do nothing or be destructive.

Actually that describes Obama's whole presidency.

To oppose and/or destroy everything "Bath House" Barry stands for or attempts is the duty of every patriotic American citizen.

Name a major legislative initative introduced by the GOP in the last five years other than obstructionism...

Tax reform?

Anything???

Elkin, the other flaw in what you said is basic:

In accusing Repubs of obstruction, that suggests Dems know and are on the proper path to a better society.

They are not.

American became the best big country in the history of mankind with a high amount of freedom and capitalism.

America's greatness is ending because of less freedom and more socialism.

That is exactly right. Obstructing this Democratic train wreck IS getting something done.
