2009: Democrats insist Medicare must be cut.

When that cold-hearted son of a bitch George Bush wanted to make relatively modest cuts in Medicare, Democrats had a hissy fit. They said he was trying to to kill old people.

Now that The Greatest President In the History of The Universe wants to cut $622 billion from Medicare and Medicaid, Republicans are still cold-hearted sons a bitches. But now it’s for some reason we really can’t fathom.

  - dprosenthal: Obama may or may not go down in history as the worst president we have ever had, but he will most certainly be remembered as our greatest disappointment. He bears no resemblance to candidate Obama, and has sadly turned out to be exactly what his few vocal critics said he was.

  - KimmyQueen: I think Greg Gutfeld was right. He was just jealous that Bret got to be so close to Chris’ lord and savior Obama. He probably would like to ask Bret if he felt a thrill up his leg but was too jealous to ask the question so opted to TRY unsucessfully to ridicule Bret instead....

  - KimmyQueen: Republicans can also be Progressives. It is an insidious cancer. She likes to profit from her looks she really needs to stop the hypocrisy. I guess her excuse is that since she doesn’t have a child and she is so young it is ok for her to be a slut.

Just because I know my worth because I worked hard to get an education or to hone skills just so I can put myself out there and get paid for them is not greedy. If I have a natural talent that I hone and discipline why should I not...
  - Florian: Hello USA, i am from Germany and cant understand why you are so rude to Mr. Moore. Sure his Films have his own way, but be happy that you have a guy how show you the bad things about capitalism. In Germany we have a social and free marct. There is more in the Wolrd about Money.

  - KimmyQueen: Her hairline is not atypical of that of an black woman who relaxes her hair. If you date black women it is obvious. I dont see the problem there.
