It is truly sad and terrifying that people like you vote.

You sound upset that your left wing talking points aren't working as planned. The Democrats and Obama wouldn't cave on something they knowingly lied about and pushed on the American people against their will.

Just how bad would this story be now, if there hadn't been a shutdown?

Actually the shutdown has exacerbated the problem for Dear Leader and made it worse. Think about it.

The shutdown did not impact something that was 4 years in the making folks.
That's a sad, sorry excuse that doesn't fly.

It wasn't one of the causes for the implosion of ACA of course. What it did was suppress Dear Leader's Administration response time which allow the conflagration to grow unchecked for two plus weeks.

Actually it was a great tactic but no one will give Cruz and the Tea Party credit.

He LIED. Pure and simple. Call it what it is.
Exactly. Obama is a liar, plain and simple. Joe Wilson was correct when he stood up and yelled LIAR during the state of the union speech.

I long for the day when an elected official actually calls Barack Obama the liar that he is. All this crap about "grossly misleading"...."not sufficiently precise".....yada yada yada is an example of partisan hackery that I despise.

Call it what it is: The President of the United States of America is A BALD FACED LIAR!

Joe Wilson did and got nothing but grief from both parties.

I am way proud of my conservative congressmen and senators. You should be ashamed of your liberal, foolish idology.
It was no more "it takes two to tango" than hostage takers threatening to kill your daughter if you refuse to pay the ransom. Do you really think you're responsible for her death if you refuse to pay?
