Obama embraces health care law after court ruling

President Barack Obama, emboldened by the Supreme Court's affirmation of his health care overhaul, is now embracing the law while campaigning for re-election, just as Republican rival Mitt Romney steps back from it.

Obama sees a second chance to sell voters on the issue despite deep skepticism about it from many people. Romney is avoiding answering hard questions about how he would tackle health care, and thus missing the chance to energize voters who oppose the law.

“The Supreme Court has spoken,” Obama told a cheering crowd at a recent fundraiser in New Orleans. “We are going to implement this law.”

Good—make the election about ObamaCare. This reopens a can of worms Obama can't sell.

Actually, the little fascist bastard is probably crowing that he has selectively exempted his favorites from the taxes, and thus finally pushed that ‘out dated’ Constitution into the trash where he intended it to go all along. His exempting orgs unilaterally is violation of his legal authority and he knows the feckless Congress will do nothing to stop him.

It does not much matter in the not-so-long run which of these men is president next year. Romney will not undo anything that the kenyan has done and will not even replace the bureaucrats that the kenyan has installed. The Total State will not proceed quite as quickly but in 2020 or sooner the country will look the same with either man. But I do not that Romney will even receive enough legal votes to get the job. I have listened to his speeches and he is in the mold of Dole and McCain. He defends and he attacks the kenyan for, essentially, not being efficient. He does not have any goals of his own except ostensibly to switch places with the kenyan. That sort of approach and vacuity of mind did not help Dole get elected nor McCain. It didn't help Ford, either, or Bush I.

Reagan showed how to win. Most others try hard to avoid Reagan's lessons.I do believe that it is because most establishment Republicans do not actually want to be president. Those whose turn for recognition by the party has come fight mightily for the Nomination but for them that is the pinnacle. They do not desire to Preside over the nation. The Democrats are regarded viscerally as the natural rulers and Republicans don't really want to interfere with them too much.
