Sarah,

Sounds like you have a decent msg but your bullets are too quick; anyway to slow down your speech?

I would like to come back to this 'if' the bullets were slowed down.

Nah, even a week with Obama, he wouldn't listen; he's right, you're wrong, don't you know?

Obama supporters are hilarious...

Thanks, that explains it then.

And yes, I did go to the URL and thought it explained what's happening in the Health Care industry rather clearly.

Others may not think so, especially the Obamaites.
