I would also like to ask, why isn't "Obamacare" (the Affordable Care Act) good enough for Obama and his family, for Congress and their families and staff, for big business, labor unions and other friends of Obama, but it is good enough for the rest of us? Hypocritical? You bet!

You obviously have no concept of what the ACA is. Obama doesn't have Obamacare because he doesn't qualify for it. It's like asking if welfare is good enough for other people why isn't Obama on it - total nonsense. Obama, like congress and their staff, get their health care from their employer (i.e. the US government) and consequently they do not qualify for it.

The only Hypocrisy I see is from Republicans who didn't discover we had a spending problem until the black guy in the white house put the cost of the Iraq war back on the books after Bush and his cronies hid it with some accounting gimmicks. The annual deficit has gone from $1.275 trillion during Bush's last budget year to $814 billion this year and projected to go to $610 billion next year and $462 billion in 2015 - THIS IS YOUR UNCONTROLLED SPENDING ????

More Republican propoganda meant to disguise their failures and allow them to give more tax breaks to their rich corporate masters.
