Obama on Obamacare: 'The demand is there and...the product is good.'

Wow! "85% of American people have benefited in some way" from Afford. Care Act. So why do polls show it to be so unpopular?

Liberal Math: 6M cancelations, 350K, enrollments = Momentum Now, 6 million canceled = 500K w/ "Hardship" Exemption. 2+2 = 7 Trillion
