The unpopularity of Obamacare continues. The image to the right, obtained from the American Thinker site, provides visual evidence of what most Americans sense. Rube Goldberg would be proud of this contraption. Of course his health did not depend upon it. A Rube Goldberg Contraption Some humor received via an email. As in most humor, it works because of the element of truth contained within.
