Who else thinks "Obamacare" is a perjorative term?
I believe the term originated with wingnuts who intended it to be synonymous with what they viewed as the flawed and expensive "socialist" healthcare plan pushed by the President and his party.
I've heard it used by supposedly objective commentators and I've read in posts on this board. I also heard it said several times with sarcastic and mocking emphasis last evening by Sharon Angle during the debate.
I don't think "we" should be using this term anymore than we should talk about the "Democrat" party.

So just like the George Foreman Grill was probably not actually invented by him it bears his name because he is selling it. Barry put his name on this and he has to live with it.

9. Of course it is.
All the right does is mock and ridicule. They're like children.
Pot calling the kettle black.

12. I for one
am really tired of hearing political ads Demonizing "government run health care". Its so sad that people can only think of themselves, and never about anyone else.
yeah those pesky facts get in the way of selling a defective product.

Yep if only Barry was white then we would love all his policies.
