    Can you even imagine how the conservatives would have reacted if Obama had done something like this?

    This skidmark has to put his stupid name all over everything.

        Which, of course, was not called ObamaCare, it was called the Affordable Care Act. Conservatives created the nickname so they could just say it’s bad because Obama, and their voters would eat it up

          Exactly this. It was the cons that called it “Hillarycare” and “Obamacare” to try to make it all about the individual and their supposed vanity and how above their supposed station they are being, etc.

        It’s the ACA. “ObamaCare” was created as a nickname by Republicans to outrage their base. I don’t know if this post is supposed to have a /s, but if not, you fell for the propaganda, homie.
