House To Vote On “Keep You Plan” Bill Today

Ahead Of Pitiful Enrollment Numbers, White House Cranks Up The Spin Machine

One thing we can always depend on from Team O and Democrats is that they never let reality get in the way of spin, and their Obamacare spin has typically made Baghdad Bob smile.
