BREAKING: Supreme Court Upholds Individual Mandate As A Tax

338. Change to Congress

I could not agree with you more. I've been staying away from DU and why I didn't resist the urge tonight, I know not. But anyway, before today, I said President Obama could phone it in. As of today, that's a guarantee. And while I have some issues with the way the our POTUS has been in office, I am interested in seeing what might change after he doesn't have a re-election to worry about. I so want him to go for a legacy greater than being the first black President.

Interesting spin I hadn't considered about the SCOTUS ruling. Rabid Rightwingers uniting instead of eating each other alive. I do prefer to see them contorting themselves to eat their own tails. It's amusing. I hope you are wrong on this point.

Wouldn't it be sweet, though, to see President Obama debating Romney and asking him why he was so against this legislation when it is modeled so closely (near identically) to what Romney got passed in Massachusetts? Priceless, in fact. And I don't doubt that our President would do that because Candidate Obama is an amazing creature. Not at all like he governed this four years. Actually, my hubby pointed out that he is already in that mode with his almost weekly "mini emancipation proclamations", he has gotten the gay and latino vote back. If he would do something or even say something about the abysmal destruction of students via predatory student loans, he would get back the army he allowed to go fallow in 2008 back. By army, I don't mean the military, but rather the youth, those who voted the first time and in droves in 2008, who mistakenly tried to punish him in 2010.
