WASHINGTON The explosive politics of health care have divided the nation, but America's governors, Republicans and Democrats alike, suggest that President Barack Obama's health care overhaul is here to stay.
While governors from Connecticut to Louisiana sparred on Sunday over how best to improve the nation's economy, governors of both parties shared a far more pragmatic outlook on the controversial program known as "Obamacare" as millions of their constituents begin to be covered.
"We're just trying to make the best of a bad situation," Republican Gov. Terry Branstad, of Iowa, who calls the health care law "unaffordable and unsustainable," yet something he has to implement by law. "We're trying to make it work as best we can for the people of Iowa."

Don’t know of a Coffee City in Texas.
You will love life in Texas if it is in your exploratory trip itinerary.
Small towns next door to large towns has worked for me as you get the best of both worlds. Does involve extra driving and time on the road but with smart phones the extra time does not have to be wasted.

But, I tend to agree with Mark Levin: we're already living in post-Constitutional America. The fat lady is already singing the second or third verse.
Chief Effin' Justice John Roberts is living proof that the Constitution doesn't mean SQUAT. For much too long now, any five robed elite intellectual giants (e.g. Ruth Bader Ginsberg or Sonia "The Wise Latina" Sotomayor?!) have FREE REIN to declare the Constitution says whatever THEY want it to say. NO ONE upholds the oath to defend the Constitution against its domestic enemies. And, given the risk vs. reward of doing so, why should they?
So, the Constitution is clearly irrelevant (i.e. DEAD) until Congress steps up and acts in accordance with its sworn duty. Anybody see that happening? Hah. No way. They're too comfortable.
And I gave up on "We The People" when O'Bunghole won reelection. Oh, sure, give the GOPe a majority in the Senate, even the White House, and you might slow this down a bit. But, reversing course won't happen without bloodshed. And we can't have that, can we? Nah, we're not only too comfortable, we're much too civilized.

This doesn’t represent a majority of state governors, does it? The AP is just as apt to poison a headline as the Manchester Guardian.
