Two days before this was to take effect, a commerical was run on the radio stating "Maryland is up and ready for all applicants" Another big, bald face lie from the democrats. THis is what has most people upset, the republicans asked to have this delayed another year until it could be investigated further. But no, King Obame got to have his benchmark program implemented even though it wasnt ready. Of course it doesnt affect him or his staff, or the others on the hill, they are exempt from the program.
