Barack Obama

“You are all full of shit and no one is buying it. The whole shut down rests at the feet of Rep. John Boehner who refuses to even let the House vote on a clean continuing resolution because he is afraid of the extremists within his party and afraid they will take away his speakership if he does not keep trying to chip away at Obamacare. And by the way, when Obamacare works? Every Republican in this nation will stop calling it Obamacare. Maybe they will try to name it 'McConnell Medical' or 'Dr. Johnny Boner’s Medical Clinic'.”
