My mother died because she didn't have health insurance. What sane person would not go to the doctor with her symptoms and suffering? A person who knew that going to the doctor costs money. Money that we found out she didn't have.

You are not doing your children any favors by not allowing them to grow up. I'm OK with parents helping children through college (in four years, not forty), but after that they are on their own.

There are plenty of media dopes for Obama to deal with, to say nothing of their audiences. All these media outlets feature loudmouths with big megaphones, and a lack of decency or any allegiance to facts.
