I'm often fascinated by folks who decide to use their vehicles — beyond a bumper sticker or two (though that's an interesting discussion in and of itself) for making political arguments, of whatever stripe.

"President OBAMA – If the Health Care Reform Plan is so Great<\/b> Why does it EXEMPT<\/b> YOU, Michelle Obama, Congress, Senators and their families? (Page 114 Line 22)"<\/i><\/p>\n
