RE :”It's infuriating when the GOP and Obama play the same word games. But Obama wins the prize for the biggest con job by: 1) Bashing Hillary for backing an individual mandate to buy health insurancec , 2) Making sure Obamacare had that mandate , 3) Claiming that Obamacare didn't break his “I won't raise taxes on anyone” promise, and 4) Arguing in federal court that the mandate is a tax increase”

Every so often I think of posting a list like that in a vanity and those are all on it, plus the three million jobs created or saved, and the phony CBO numbers. I wouldn't say it's 'infuriating' to me ANYMORE because Obama is tanking in the polls. It is kind of fun now to see him try to lie and see NBC call him on it. (Someone here predicted this would happen.)

The mandate is a good example of politics vs policy. He bashed Hillary for a mandate because it is unpopular. But then when he was president he realized banning insurance pre-existing exclusions (which IS popular) would just make premiums skyrocket and INCREASE the uninsured without the mandate, making it very unpopular, so he flipped to a mandate calling some uninsured freeloaders.

Obama-care was one of my favorite issues (with the stimulus) and I did many posts and pings on it. Both were land-mine fields for democrats.

Obama’s Machiavellian lying about Obamacare is a made-to-order TV ad against Obama in 2012, and those congresscrooks who voted for it in 2010, 2012, and beyond.
