The only silver lining is taht obama has to defend obamacare in the campaign and Romney can attack him for the law and for lying to the American people about this unprecedented tax increase. That's it. Roberts turned, pure and simple. He bent over backwards to find a way to rule in favor of the mandate, even though he acknowledged that it was unconstitutional.

This ruling combined with the AZ ruling tell us that once again a so-called conservative Chief Justice has turned to the left once he's secure in his lifetime sinecure! Damn him!

Romney can attack him for the law

Kinda hard to do when he authored the bill basically with his government reach Romney care. I don’t think Romney will say anything worthwhile. He said he would get rid of first day...I don’t know how he will do that with the inauguration and Swearing-in that day. He is making a huge promise that he can’t deliver on day one as he says. He already is being unrealistic. First 100 days would have been better but like all liberals, Romney did not think before speaking. Good Luck Romney on getting rid of Obamacare the first day in office....Yeah right.

I fail to see how that's better than Obama being forced to explain how he did all that despite the fact that it was illegal.

There's a big difference between "silver linings" and "trying to make the best of a bad situation."
