Why Barack's Silence On Obamacare?

Democrats came on strong in celebrating what they also now call “ObamaCare” during speeches at the beginning of their national convention in Charlotte, but enthusiasm waned as the week went on, with President Obama not even mentioning his signature legislative achievement during his acceptance speech on the final day.

We knew this was going to happen, though, didn’t we? BammyCare slips right of off O and sticks to Romney (via RomneyCare).
