‎”Under the legislation, health insurance will be extended to nearly all Americans, new taxes imposed on the wealthy, and restrictive insurance practices such as refusing to cover people with pre-existing medical conditions will be outlawed. The Republicans have vowed to continue resisting it.” –BBC News

“President Obama slams obstructionist Republicans at GOP issues retreat”… “President Obama dove headfirst into the belly of the GOP beast Friday – and left the not-so-loyal opposition bleeding on a Baltimore ballroom floor”…

 

“Slams.” “Left [them] bleeding.” This is precisely the kind of sensational, attention-grabbing, divisive language he’s speaking against, ‘liberals’ as culpable as ‘conservatives.’ If he’s intended to “slam” or “stab” anything, it’s the willful language of divisiveness.

Show your support by liking FWIW on FB and/or G+, where I post something worthwhile (illuminating, informative, poetic, comic, tragic, usefully irreverent, captivatingly absurd) sporadically, whenever the mood strikes. . . You never know what you're going to get, but if I'm doing things right, whatever it is should ultimately enrich rather than detract from your life.
