Three of Mitt Romney’s advisers went to the White House at least a dozen times in 2009 to consult on the former Massachusetts governor’s health care plan that President Obama used as a model for his initiative -- now a federal law that all the Republican presidential candidates want to repeal.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters Tuesday he was "not in a position to comment on specific meetings." But in a remark that won't help Romney in his pursuit for the 2012 Republican nomination, Earnest repeated that Obama took cues from the Massachusetts legislation.
"You've certainly heard the president himself say that there were a number of very good ideas included in the health care plan that then-Gov. Romney put in place in Massachusetts that were incorporated into the Affordable Care Act and so it’s clear that these are some ideas that we were interested in incorporating and we did incorporate.
"But in terms of individual meetings and who participated and what the goal of them was, I don’t have that information,” he said.

FUMR!!!
Yep, flip flop Mitt!
Good that this got out. If there’s anything worse than an enemy, it’s a traitor.
Beyond disgusting.
FUBO FUMR
Ouch! That’s gotta hurt.
If you like RomneyCare, you will like Obammacare. Romney- thumbs down!
There is a reason why Dems love this guy so much..everyday we get another piece to the puzzle
What we need to be asking is why does the White House release this NOW?
If you were Obama wouldn’t you sit on this until Romney gets the nomination then bang! October Surprise!
This news came out today. I was disappointed that no one asked Romney about it in the Debate tonight.
That’s a good question.
rabscuttle385, your home page is so true.
How is he going to spin his way out of this?
The statist pig Romney wants to be whose nominee?
Didn’t Perry ask about one of his advisors? He spun it of course.
Where’s that “Your kid’s ugly” picture of Obamacare/Romneycare.
You have it. I have tears in my eyes.
“That’s a good question.”
The Rats LOVE him and want him to be the nominee. This way any shock has 13 months to dissipate...DON’T FALL FOR IT!!!
This SHOULD be the absolute and final kiss of death to Romney, but the ‘GOP Establishment’ appears to be prepared to give him a pass on this. My God... Anyone doesn’t have to look back very far to see him for the liberal that he IS! Hell, he joined the NRA just a year before the last presidential campaign. Does he really think we’re that gullible?
Sure, I’d take him over 0bama, but I’ll have to put a damn vice on my nose while voting. Talk about a ‘heavy lift’!
