   Well if he hadn’t hit on that bong before presenting himself for questioning a good answer would have been:

   “Of course it’t not a tax, it’s a mandatory non-participation payment.”

    I love the audio of Stephanopoulos grilling Obama on why he (Obama) did NOT consider it a tax. George pulled out a dictionary and quoted the definition of a tax and asked why, based on that definition, it was not a tax. Obama just laughed it off- something to the effect that if you have to read the definition it is obviously not a tax. This man is psychotic.

    I doubt it. Not enough people that care. Look at how easy it was for them to get a Usurper in office. And they even managed to get their erstwhile opponents to help Alinsky those who know what natural born citizen means.

    They have at least changed the Constitution by precedent using semantic sleight of hand or rendered it utterly meaningless at worst. Children of illegal aliens are eligible to be President now.

    What are the odds on SCOTUS striking down Obamacare? In the first few months, when it was passed, is when the case should have gone to the Supreme Court. Now it’s going to make it more difficult to consider it null and void. I hope it will be done away with, but abortion is legal and I really don’t know how that happened.
    How did we get so many laws that make it so difficult to own a gun? The right to bear arms. There are always “good” reasons to not allow gun ownership,the leftist tell us so.

    I think for the most part, the lower ranks will be on our side. Higher ranking staff officers, maybe not so much.

    It’s a reason, I think for continuing to reduce the ranks and keep troops deployed overseas in questionable endevours.

    Besides, if things got really out of hand here, our pResident could very well call on the PRC for military assistance. After all, they have a huge financial stake here.

    You have to have a conscience to start with in order to have a clear one. Sebelius looks and acts like a broad without a conscience. And she is. A typical choice to work with this POTUS. Every single one of his cronies has horrible credentials!! Is there one single honest person in his administration? I haven’t found one. Anyone?
