Oz attackers need mirror

Thu., June 26, 2014

It is comforting to know that we have so few problems in this country that Sen. Claire McCaskill and the U.S. Senate can take time from their busy day to bully Dr. (Mehmet) Oz. Nothing like a little face time in front of the camera looking self-righteous.

Dr. Oz hasn’t taken away my kids’ and grandkids’ future to the tune of $17 trillion like she and Congress have. He hasn’t taken away many of my rights and freedoms like she and Congress have, and he hasn’t put us in danger of terrorism and possible war by her support of this incompetent president.

I sleep safe at night knowing you are watching out for my weight.
