October 26, 2011: Who Coined 'Obamacare'? (Free Republic mentioned)
The Wire.com ^ | October 26, 2011 | ELSPETH REEVE

House Democrats are blocking their Republican colleagues from using Obamacare in letters mailed on the taxpayer's dime to voters, but who made up the term in the first place? Lots of people are asking this question, getting answers like "Certainly a republican, potentially Glenn Beck" and "I am about 80% sure it was Rush Limbaugh" and "Hillary Clinton's campaign coined Obamacare." Iowa Rep. Steve King claimed President Obama himself made it up. Free Republic posters want to claim credit. Lots of liberals suspect an insidious plot by Fox News. But the answer appears to be: a lobbyist.

Obama coined Obamacare. I’m not even going to cite it.

If he hadn’t, it wouldn’t be in use.

Some Sunday ‘conservative’ pundit headlined that BO is weak as a president.

Dope. what a dope. He is very powerful against his enemies.

Some celeb counter said BO was non influential among 2013 non influential.

Dream on. They got that on Red Eye, saying BS to that.

The term Obamacare is from his mouth.

He’ll get rid of it too, with this kind of assistance from his traitor lackeys in the press who chase him for crap he drops in his wake, hoping they’ll not have to get in on it.

And this writer tossed a bone to FR hoping they’d pick it up and take responsibility.

I hope FR is not egotistical as that, as much as the press is.

Obama coined it.

Looks like we started calling ObamaCare® in early 2009.

I will continue to call this mess, Obamacare. It's Obama’s baby. He owns it. He is responsible for it. When his supporters finally realize they have been had, I want them to associate this disaster with Obama forever.

Sure Obama owns this disaster but I would prefer to hang it on the congressional fools that voted for it.

Obama is term limited but the congress critters that voted for this abuse of power can stay in power for life.

We can’t let them run and hide from their responsibility for forcing this law down the throats of Americans.

We need to do everything we can to see to it that these Socialist fools loose their jobs over this dung heap of legislation.

I don’t recognize any of the posters from the linked post back to FR from 2010.

Is there a mass banning every so often?

“Free Republic posters want to take credit.”
Huh? But I wouldn’t be surprised if it originated here.
We’re about 48 hours ahead of the MSM on breaking news and light years ahead of the rest of the country on everything else.
A grateful nation gives us thanks, we understand.
Heard, understood and acknowledged. No prob.

I don’t know, but good on em’.

I do know who coined the term “Liberalism is a mental illness,” and it wasn’t a popular radio host. It was first used on Lucianne’s website.

I happen to prefer “Reid-Care” or “Pelosi-Care”.
They are the two people who are most to blame.
