Obama to Romney: 'Great idea' (Obama praises Romneycare)
Politico ^ | 2011-05-19 | Matt Negrin

President Barack Obama isn’t letting Mitt Romney off the hook so easily.

While raising money in Boston on Wednesday, Obama alluded twice to Romney’s role in enacting the Massachusetts health care law, the latest reference to the former governor’s record that has haunted him as he eyes a White House bid.

“With a little assist from the former governor of Massachusetts, we said that health care should no longer be a privilege in this country,” Obama told laughing supporters at his first fundraiser. “We said that in the United States of America, just like here in Massachusetts, you should never go broke because you get sick.”

Mitt must be feeling as great as Newt is these days... which probably isn’t that great at all.

Yeah, but he could be Barry-O's VP candidate, after Clueless Joe gets lost on the golf course without a map.

Oh the kiss of death

Praise from Barry to a GOP candidate

“I could have been a contender” said Williard Mitt Romney sadly as his 5 sons gathered around him.

“Tell ya what,” Williard continued, “All 5 of you enlist in the Army. That will make me look good”

“ENLIST ???” all 5 boys chorusede. “What do ya take us for Daddy ??? We want to be officers.”

Ist boy: “I’d make a good major”

2nd boy: “Major. Huh. I’m going to be a general”

3rd boy: “Well I deserve to be a general too then”

4rd boy: “Daddy I want my own tank”

5th boy: “Tank !!! I want my own plane”

Williard: “Boys boys. You can all be generals. I’ll call the Pentagon and find out how much it will cost. I’m sure they owe me a favor. After all I saved the Olympics.”

Let us hope.

They are doing this perhaps because they view Romney as the strongest opposition. Let us pray they are so foolish as to push ‘Crazy Palin’ to the front.

Obama’s got an easy road kill with Romney. All he has to do is keep on praising him.

Romney never has, and never will support universal health care for the entire country. The plan he put in place was supported by 80% of the people in Massachuettes.

Um yeah, sorry to bother you with the facts, but Obama's people are already attacking Romney for his clear and present opposition against ObamaCare. Nice try though.

That doesn't change the fact that he supported fascist government health care for the entire Commonwealth of Massachusetts!

No bother.

So Romney is opposed to his own plan that Obama ended up copying in Obama-care?? So Romney-care is OK when a Republican(RINO) is in charge but only bad if a Dem pushes it? What a winning theme for 2012! DA-Da-DA

Obama is a fool for doing this now, he’s hurting Mitt’s chances at the nomination. He should be praying (to himself in the mirror) that Romney is his opponent.
