I agree with Jake. Your health insurance will be unaffordable in years to come, for most normal middle & under income people.

Wow, Republicans barking about religious freedom. I guess they are now in favor of the mosque in NYC, right?

He keeps talking about "FREE" birth control... it's not going to be "FREE" for anyone. The insurance companies aren't just going to eat the cost, they'll raise the rates for "EVERYONE" to cover it. Thanks Barack. I'm not going to get into his continued assault on religion... it's too obvious.

Is there anyone in Obama's inner circle that has actually read the Constitution and has the intelligence to explain it to someone as ignorant as Obama?

We're living in Barack Obama's "post-Constitutional" America... If you don't like a law, ignore it. Can't work with Congress... bypass them with Executive Orders. Redistribute the wealth... take it from people who work for a living and give it to people who don't. Heaven help us all if he get's elected to another term.

Does anyone else find it odd that a man is promoting women put manufactured chemicals in their bodies? The liberal who promotes clean water, clean air, but polluting women's bodies so the consequences of hooking up go away. Physical consequences maybe but emotional consequences are ignored. Note: George and Yeardly's relationship. Hmmm....

Not really. This is the very definition of Socialism - get the sheeple hooked on what you're providing so that they end up with increased dependent on you. This in turn increases your control over the masses which results in greater power. I'm very puzzled that people are willing to let this administration take a huge chunk out of their First Amendment Rights without much of a push back. I bet if the policy was that everyone has to start eating pork there would be riots on the street. The hypocrisy of it all.
