That pretty much sums up the whole of Obamaville. Can all the mess he has wrought be undone???
I agree. Rush just called this “The largest tax increase in the history of the world” and, “Obamacare is a lie, and a stealth tax on all Americans”.
Obama is now in his first, and last, term. And the GOP will sweep the House and the Senate. Bank on it.
Anyone who supports a “3rd Party” on the Right, now, is an IDIOT!
That’s supposed to be the silver lining? I’m trying to look for the silver lining to the giant cloud that a Romney Presidency would be.
The problem is that Romney has to figure out how to say this is bad, when he did a version of it himself in Mass.
And, sadly, no matter who is elected to drive the bus, it is headed to the same destination...only a matter of speed and route.
I was torn as to whether a SCOTUS strikedown would be best for us. I think in the long run, Roberts’ betrayal will energize our base more than a strikedown would have.
No offense but how is another liberal President a silver lining? I don’t know if anyone’s noticed or not but voting for liberal Republicans like George W Bush hasn’t really worked out for us.
“But this time, voting for a liberal Republican is going to work.” No thanks, I’m done being Charlie Brown.
WHO are you kidding?
I’m not quite sure how Romney will be able to convince swing voters that he is a better choice than Obama when it comes to ramming health care mandates down your throat. And the Obama campaign will be able to counterattack him endlessly as a result.
I’d call it a “copper lining”, or maybe a “pot iron” lining.
Maybe even “lead”, because nothing radiates from it.
About the only hope conservatives really have is to put so many Tea Party candidates in office that they can break up the obstruction that is Washington, D.C.
Acordint to Ira Stoll, you may be exactly right:
“Though the decision will widely be portrayed as a victory for President Obama — his signature legislative accomplishment was ratified as constitutional by a Supreme Court majority that included George W. Bush-appointed chief justice John Roberts — it isn’t necessarily clear that it will be a victory. By calling the mandate a tax, the court made an official ruling that President Obama had violated his 2008 campaign promise not to raise taxes on anyone earning less than $250,000 a year. And the ruling also keeps ObamaCare alive as a political issue. A ruling that struck down the law might have energized Obama supporters. This ruling may make the law’s opponents even more determined to elect a Republican president and Congress so that they can repeal the law or, failing that, defund it.”

Just wait until the OWS crowd turns 26 years and one day old. They will be the most heavily taxed class in America. I do keep my oldest son on my policy but I had prepared him for the healthcare to be struck down. Now we must prepare our children and ourselves for full- fledged communism. I guess our only comfort is, it is now considered a tax, completely.
I have no faith in our nation as a “Nation of Laws” today.
I find myself re-thinking how I pay taxes and what I share with the government. We are not enforcing laws, abiding by the constitution or anything.
I don't see how we pull out of this. Today may be the nail in the coffin that relegates the US into perpetual mediocrity, as Europe is today. Another great nation turns the corner and starts the long slow fall from capitalism and freedom as we vote ourselves into submission and tyranny.
I am sick that my kids may never know what a great country we once were.
If Obama gets re-elected, I do hope TX and OK will start discussions on sussecion. Let's pull the scab quickly.
(Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow)
Obama’s pyrhic victory.
Romney is the next President of the United States as long as he insures that the voters understand fully the massive, economy crippling, tax increase that has been put in place already and is on their personal horizon if Obama is re-elected.
Don’t bet the farm on it. Oops, we all are, because the farm is gone if Obama gets re-elected.
I would not count on it....... We thought we would win with the SCOTUS, and they turned coat on us. Obama is speaking now as smug and swagger as any President on earth. He makes me sick!
