    Obamacare isn't about health care, it's about seizing liberty and enriching a few special interest groups. The power/money aspect is why it won't be repealed by this crop of congress critters.

    I was thinking about trip wires and stumbling blocks set up to make it impossible for the next Republican admin to repeal it. There was talk of this during the election in relation to how realistic Trump's election promises were.

    I continue to support this president despite even some of the people who voted for him now claiming to be disappointed with him. It is not something I quite understand. He does his best and gets fought against by even the Republicans who should be supporting him so he obviously will not succeed in every single thing, especially when it requires congress and senate support.
    I love the guy. I have never in my 56 short years felt the same way about a president that I do this one.

    Would you rather have a POTUS who acts like a Christian but a horrible leader, or a POTUS who is a believer, doesn't act like one, but is an effective and competent leader as President? Name a recent President who was a perfect Christian and an effective President at the same time.
    No, I don't need perfect. I DO need admission when he's done something clearly out of bounds. I need some humility. I need honesty. I need the kind of president I can tell my grandkids to emulate. I do not want one of my grandsons to emulate Mr. Trump. I'm glad he's acting as if he's prolife, but that's about it. I think as time goes by, more and more Christians are going to be disappointed by him.

    And actually, I don't think he is an "effective and competent" leader.

    Wow, I'd want my children to emulate Christ, not man. There are enough heroes to admire than the President. I can't think of any President I'd want my children to emulate. I've had some pretty cool kinfolk I admire more than any politician.

    And why do you "need" humility? And what has the President been dishonest about? What promise has he purposely not kept. Just because you "don't think" he's an effective and competent leader doesn't make it so. Where's the evidence that he isn't? I've posted a lot, where's yours?
