AND THE "B.S." STARTS IMMEDIATELY ABOUT REVERSING HEALTHCARE...WITH WHAT STATE - TN!!
A House Democratic leader is drawing fire from Republicans for charging that some of President Obama's conservative critics in Tennessee are motivated by racism.
Rep. Mike Turner of Nashville, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus, made his remarks at a news conference Monday. Asked his view of the Republican-backed Tennessee Health Freedom Act, which would order state Attorney General Bob Cooper to sue to overturn any federal mandate to buy insurance, Turner said: “I have one thing to say about that: Appomattox.”
“We’ve got a lot of bills on states’ rights here, state sovereignty and all that,” he added. “We went through that fight once before. All of a sudden, we have a black man elected president and everybody wants to start acting like something’s wrong with our country. I didn’t agree with a lot of things George Bush did, but I wasn’t ready to secede from the union.”
Asked to elaborate afterward, Turner said, “I think some of the people who are against Obama are just against Obama because he’s African-American.”

That's half of all this .Nobody had a problem with any of George Bush's idea's they did not want to talk about health care then . Now it's a problem this is just fact they don't think that a black man can have good ideas .Where were the republican's with all there great ideas when so many people were going and doing with out health care. They sat by four years with Bush and never tried to help now that somebody else now they act like they care when they don't.
