One sunny day in January, 2013, an old retired Marine man approached
the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue where he'd been
sitting on a park bench.
He spoke to the U.S. Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to
go in and meet with President Obama."
The Marine looked at the man and said, "Sir, Mr. Obama is no longer
President and no longer resides here."
The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
The following day the same man approached the White House and said to
the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President
Obama."
The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Obama
is no longer President and no longer resides here."
The man thanked him and again just walked away.
The third day the same man approached the White House and spoke to
the very same U.S. Marine, saying, "I would like to go in and meet
with President Obama.
"The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man
and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here
asking to speak to Mr. Obama.
I've told you already that Mr. Obama is no longer the President and
no longer resides here.
Don't you understand?"
The old man looked at the Marine and said, "Oh, I understand.
I just love hearing it."
The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you
tomorrow, Sir.
Don't forget to vote
That retired Marine is depending on you!!! - SEMPER FI!

We don't have to do that either. Everyone knows that's their job- to get us to buy things that are bad for a profit to them. If you buy into it, then that's a shame.. :-1
I have to go work now though~
I'm confused now d: but I have to work now...
HE'S A MARINE!!!
I'll be voting for sure ...
I will keep you in my Prayers that one day you stop drinking Kool-Aid.
I don't know about you, but I would prefer real support over lip service any day. Who needs a parade when one is suffering. Who needs a 7 billion dollar boondoggle fighter jet program when our vets don't even get the necessary psychiatric medical care?
Unfortunately it is you who has little clue as to what he's talking about. Thus, you have blocked me.
Here read this if you dare you ignorant piece of sh*t:
"The Affordable Care Act will save approximately $500 billion over the next ten years through reduction in extra subsidies paid to Medicare Advantage plans, reductions in the rate of growth in provider payments, and efforts to make the Medicare program more efficient and to reduce waste, fraud and abuse. These reductions will lead to corresponding savings for beneficiaries through lower copayments and premiums. A slower rate of growth in Medicare is expected to result in a slower rate of growth in beneficiary out-of-pocket payments, and a slower rate of growth in Part B premiums. In addition, the closing of the donut hole will result in large savings for beneficiaries with high levels of prescription drug spending."
Jesus, the evidence against your argument is right there and you can't even acknowledge that you're wrong. Moron!
OOHRA
