I love Obama but dangit if he didn't just hand over the idea of the ACA to Congress and told them to do it.
What was that? It really was no wonder that the teabaggers had full control of the messaging that summer. The messaging from our side was absent - before, during and after.
Looking back - ugh!!

That said, he has been one of the best Presidents and I am really going to miss him and his family in the White House.

But the ACA was only the beginning. The very beginning.
