According to the Wall Street Journal<\/a><\/em>, President Obama defended his health care boondoggle again this morning, only this time he justified it as incorporating “Republican ideals”…<\/p>\n

\n

In an interview on NBC’s Today Show, the president told host Matt Lauer that the new law “is a critical first step in making a health care system that works for all Americans.” And in blunt terms, he blamed the GOP for the public uproar surrounding its passage. “I think the Republican Party made a calculated decision, a political decision, that they would not support whatever we did.”<\/p>\n

Obama went on to say that “I think that’s unfortunate because when you actually look at the bill itself, it incorporates all sorts of Republican ideas. I mean, a lot of commentators have said, you know, this is this is similar to the bill that Mitt Romney, the Republican governor and now presidential candidate, passed in Massachusetts.” (Yes, he called Romney a presidential candidate.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Mitt Romney’s self-proclaimed “crowning achievement” of his short tenure as Governor was Romneycare.  It included an individual mandate to purchase health care just like Obamacare.  Now Romney wants to set himself up as the primary opposition to the new health care law without even slightly noting the glaring hypocrisy.<\/p>\n

The Huffington Post<\/em> has made a compilation video looking back at Romney’s “double-talk express.”  It’s titled “Ob’omneycare!<\/a>“…enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
