    Exactly. Just look at the hyperbolic bashing of Obama in the OP, and almost every subsequent post by hairball. Even the thread title is absurd.

    I see you have decided to leave the topic at hand (reality you have discarded long ago.) You have completely failed to show any evidence of a "Obama war on asthmatics," you have failed (epic levels of fail) to show this issue originated during Obama's time in office, you have failed to have an answer to those challenging you, and now you've turned to Obamacare rants.

    Look in the mirror with the strawman bit.

    Shouldn't it be up to the individual to decide what he should or should not use? If Obama banned fast food tomorrow because it's bad for you, would you be on his side arguing that we shouldn't be eating it anyway?

    Then why don't we let everyone decide to use or not to use heroin, cocaine, meth. . .

    I believe that many people do need help realizing what could be harmful to them, or to their children.

    And, again, this has NOTHING to do with Obama. . .

    If you read the thread, you discovered that this bill was passed under GW Bush, but is just taken effect in January.

    Perhaps the term's connotation has morphed into much more than it's original sense of lurking and interjecting provokingly. Back in the day, trolling one's own thread was oxymoronic. Strikes me as very consistent with the trend of increasing political correctness, girly sensitivity, and the need to label opposing views as something socially unacceptable. I suspect that this very response is considered to be trolling by you.

    I liked the troll. The OP got style bonus points for his leap from "occasional light asthma symptoms" to a conspiracy to kill busloads of people in the streets.

    Realizing and being forced to not use are two completely different things.

    So what?

    Can't you start a thread with the only purpose of trolling?

    I find that some people are expert at it!

    Hating him? I thought that starated on November 3, 2008!

    But, call me stupid (many have!), I still believe he was the best choice in the 2008 elections, and. . .to date, he is the best choice for the 2012 elections.

    UPDATE:

    DeMint amendment to cut off funding to impliment the banning of the life saving medicine has failed in the Senate along partisan lines.

    Democrats are some evil motherfuckers!

    That's what they optimistically thought in 2009. It hasn't come to fruition.

    Go to your local drugstore and ask if they have any Primatene Mist in stock.

    They've had plenty of time to develop their non-CFC version. They were probably hoping the ban would be overturned. Now they have to wait for FDA approval:

    edit: just checked Walgreen's availability online, 4 out of the 5 stores near my home have Primatene Mist in stock. Best stock up if you need it, to bridge the gap between Dec. 31st and FDA approval.
