The American Republic Will Endure Until Politicians Realize They Can Bribe The People With Their Own Money...
Possibly one of the greatest truths ever...

The Consequences Of Lunacy..
As she neared the top she encountered a spotted owl that attacked her. In her haste to escape, the woman slid down the tree to the ground and got many splinters in her crotch. In considerable pain, she hurried to a local ER to see a doctor. She told him she was an environmentalist, a Democrat, and an anti-hunter and how she came to get all the splinters.
The doctor listened to her story with great patience and then told her to go wait in the examining room and he would see if he could help her. She sat and waited three hours before the doctor re-appeared. The angry woman demanded, "What took you so long?" He smiled and then told her, "Well, I had to get permits from the Environmental Protection Agency, the Forest Service, and the Bureau of Land Management before I could remove old-growth timber from a 'recreational area' so close to a Waste Treatment Facility. And I'm sorry, but due to Obama-Care they turned you down.
Even the president can't use the Obamacare website! Obama 'symbolically' enrolls but has to send aides to file papers in PERSON
Unlike millions of ordinary Americans, the President of the United States didn't have to test his patience with an error-prone website or spend hours on the phone with a volunteer 'navigator' in order to sign up for new health insurance.
A White House official confirmed Monday that Barack Obama simply dispatched his aides to the Washington, D.C. insurance exchange's office, where they filed his papers in person – while Obama himself luxuriated in his annual Hawaiian vacation with his family.
'His situation is unique,' the official insisted. 'The president couldn't have used the DC exchange's website because the databases these sites use to confirm insurance eligibility wouldn't contain those sorts of records about him.'
The Secret Service, the aide explained, typically scrubs personal records of U.S. presidents from credit, financial and historical databases when they take office, as part of a range of security precautions meant to protect the occupant of the Oval Office.
Obama chose 'a bronze plan' – the cheapest option – according to the White House. But an official statement conceded the exercise 'is symbolic since the president’s health care will continue to be provided by the military.'
But the president 'was pleased to participate in a plan as a show of support for these marketplaces,' the statement continued, 'which are providing quality, affordable health care options to more than a million people.'
