Did you know that when Obama said, "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor. Period.", while knowing it wouldn't be true for a great many people, but saying it anyway because he needed to trick people into supporting his health care scheme.....

I'm sure that will be enforced, just as rigorously as ouur border laws have been enforced.
