Handsome?I think not!Michelle is a more handsome and manly.....LOL
Anyhow,what do unions care about this healthcare issue?Most union members already have 100% employer paid health insurance.I was a union member for 10 yrs and it never occured to me that people actually had to pay for health insurance until I started another job where I had to cover it.

11:08 I never thought Steve Erkle was handsome or maybe you should have your eye's checked . Wait I get it your fat and ugly gotcha . Bush has a higher favorability rating than Obama does. Your clown has had one disaster after another he's a one term loser and might just end up impeached or worse HAHAHA.
