Romneycare may come back to haunt Mitt on health issue

CHICAGO — Mitt Romney has a problem with Obamacare. It looks a lot like Romneycare.

The prospective Republican presidential candidate's vulnerability on the issue was evident this week, when he was interrupted during a tour for his new book by a woman upset with the Massachusetts health care law Romney signed as governor in 2006. That law has some of the same core features as the federal law President Barack Obama, a Democrat, signed on Tuesday.

And that's creating an uncomfortable straddle for Romney as his party makes attacking the new health care law its main message this midterm year.

Could General David Petraeus be persuaded to resign his commission and offer to run for President on the Republican ticket in 2012? Or possibly in 2016?

Actually, I do not know, nor would I speak for, whatever political views and ideals General Petraeus holds, but using the old axiom that every general officer carries a Presidential seal in his backpack, the possibility should be explored.

He would have TONS more administrative experience than the entire White House crew now brings to the table, and he is privy to the international issues that face, and will continue to face, this nation for years to come.

Just thinking on paper here....

The question may be whether General Petraeus has the stuff and the will to assume a role like that General de Gaulle played at the collapse of the Fourth Republic in France and the creation of the Fifth.

Not only is Romneycare a disaster in MA but it was on Romney’s watch that Gay Marriage became ‘legal’.
His predecessors in MA, also Republican governers, did not allow gay marriage. Now we’re the Gay State - so humiliating...Romney he sucked.

Sorry Mittens—when you soil yourself with leftist, liberal ideology the stank has a nasty habit of clinging around.

That would be an interesting possibility...

However, the GOP ESTABLISHMENT has determined that Mitt WILL BE the GOP nominee in 2012. It’s HIS TURN damnit!

And, if it is Mitt in 2012, welcome Obamavision for another 4 years.
