Nov. 13: ObamaCare Failure Day

ObamaCare Lie = ‘Incorrect Promise’

“Obama: Anatomy of a World Leader,” by Alex Gray (detail) “I am absolutely certain that generations from now, we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the […]
