In reply to the discussion: My Girlfriend will get her meds. And all without my calling out the man who made it happen. [View all]CreekDog
(46,192 posts)384. by the way Skip Intro, we're very proud that you've decided to fully support the Affordable Care Act
i cannot begin to describe my pleasure in seeing you post in this thread to support the OP, who is immeasurably proud of Obama, our nation's first black president, who said he sees himself as Trayvon Martin, and his signature achievement.
i can't wait to post your support of Obama and the ACA in the Barack Obama Group.
this is an exciting day!
