Me ? I wouldn't now have Health Insurance if it wasn't for "Obamacare" !

Here's some basics, some of which I am not crazy about but many of whom I am happy about..
This is are posted post from Facebook...

MY President (reposted) 1. Got Osama Bin Laden...check 2. Unemployment rate 8.5%...check. 3. 1.6 million jobs created with no GOP help...check 4. 22 months of job and economic growth with no help...check 5. Ended war in Iraq ...check 6. Don't Ask Don't Tell repeal...check 7. Not one tax hike in 3 years....check 8. Brought out the extreme racism in the Gop...check 9. Still carry 80% of the black vote...check 10. Same wife for 15 years with no extramarital affairs...check 11. Save auto industry and 1.5 million jobs.. check 12. Assisted in ousting Khaddafi...check 13. Only active President to receive Nobel Peace prize while in office. 14. Mortgage modification to prevent home owners from losing their home. 15. STILL fighting for middle class families. 16. Reform Affordable healthcare.... check Despite what the GOP would have you believe, the President has been doing these things and more. Obama 2012 - RE-POST to support!!
I'm with you! When will what he has accomplished without support from even his own base be recognized?!!

Also, the Healthcare reforms have not even fully been implemented and there are many just like you that finally have coverage. Also, this year I finally got to tell some of my right-wing family members in small business (really small in the scheme of things) "Told Ya' So" because their cost to provide employee health care did decrease without any decrease in coverage (always a key issue in negotiating for employee programs)! Until now, those cost rose every year for at least a decade. Also, the choices did expand and that mean't being able to get plans that are just easier for employees to use overall (transportation & services more centralized- making these decisions also has to take into account your retirees that are aging).

I will never fully agree with any politician even if I loved them- who does! But, you bet I will be voting for him and giving my time for his re-election!
