If Obamacare passes, I think I’m going to make it official. I’m not sure. It’s a huge step. I have never registered with a political party before.
But I think, if Obamacare passes, I am going to register as a Republican.

Well, the chances are against it and the odds are slim
That he’ll live by the rules that the world makes for him,
