Ugh. If he had the cajones to present this turd while he was running, me thinks the election would have had a much different outcome. fish82 is correct. I would also add that the other side is for reform as well, just not a government takeover with mandated taxes for breathing.

I can't recall any candidate in recent history who outlined, in detail, any of their proposals during a campaign. It's all just sound bites and photo ops now.

If anything, people thought he was going to get a bill done that was much more liberal than conservative bill he did.

Yeah, I guess you are right. Details shmetails. Who needs em? Hope and Change all the way!! Change we can believe in!! Vote for me and I'll fix it all!! Yep...sure worked like a charm, didn't it?
Oh, I forgot....he was against the individual mandate when he was running for the job, but magically changed his mind to Hillary's side once he got the chance. Just another tiny smidgen of a detail that we really didn't need to know about.

Hope and Change. That's what he ran on. I guess we'll never know what "Country First" would have brought us, will we? I shudder to think what that would have turned into.
