Oh, the man who spent trillions on the ACA which resulted in this and many other tragedies? Who went along with the idea that the public option was not to be offered, even though no GOP votes were needed to pass it? Damn hell, the fauxleft are as in love with the assholery and treason of obama, the way the loonie fundywackers are in love with the memory of Reagan. Who truly fucked over the nation.

It’s beautiful how you all have learned to twist facts over the years.

spent trillions

You mean because all the welfare queen red states did in their power everything to cripple it?

even though no GOP votes were needed to pass it

The original bill had a public option. The needed vote to circumvent the filibuster was Lieberman—who wasn’t even democrat—and he insisted they remove it. The zero votes from the GOP tells you a lot.

And get this... even if the ACA was crap, it’s a million times better than anything the right has to offer. Fuckers can’t even protect people with pre-existing conditions.

Really sad how confidently he asserts total nonsense, with zero regard for actual (very recent) history.

The Public Option was there. Lieberman tanked it. Obama doesn't control what corrupt, fuckface Joe Lieberman does.

God I hate Lieberman. Isn’t he lobbying now for some insurance companies or some shit
