President Obama on Tuesday made an emotional plea to protect the Affordable Care Act just weeks before the law could face its biggest legal challenge to date.

In a half-hour speech to the Catholic Health Association on Tuesday, Obama expressed deep disappointment in the many legal and political attacks against the law, which he described as “ceaseless, endless partisan attempts to roll back progress.”

“It seems so cynical to want to take coverage away from millions of people, to punish millions with higher costs of care and unravel what’s now become part of the fabric of America,” he told the crowd of ObamaCare supporters.

The Obama administration has stepped up its defense of the law in advance of a critical Supreme Court decision. …

That’s what 0bama has done all along-attacking from his side. He flanked with the lies he told Sestak.

Slavery was once part of the "fabric of America."

It would seem the dislike of Obamacare is bi-partisan since I can’t think of a single poll since it was introduced and enacted that has public approval over 47-48%

What does this wanker expect? Obozocare was passed in a totally partisan fashion with zero republican votes for it. I cannot believe this guy got as far as he did in politics while remaining such a whinging wussy.

The attacks on 0bamacare are Bi-Partisan.

How else do you get a 2:1 opposition to 0bamacare even today?

A new Washington Post-ABC News poll finds that a record 54% of Americans oppose Obamacare–the highest disapproval rating ever in the Post-ABC poll–and a six point increase in unpopularity since last year. Support for President Barack Obama’s unpopular signature legislative achievement registered at just 39%, which “ties the record low” as seen in April 2012.

I have a phone and a pen...

If you like your healthcare plan you can keep your health care plan...

obamacare passed without s SINGLE republican vote. It had to be passed by the senate on Christmas eve. The democrat speaker of the house said we had to “pass it to see what is in it”

And you wonder why it is being attacked?

Cry me a freakin’ river.

I hope they rule against the law.

It is what is.

No more twisting it and making it something it isn’t.

Watch the GOPe select a candidate who will not fight to repeal 0bamaRomneyCare, and we’ll lose again because we won’t fight the fight Americans want.

Aligning with Obama’s speech, the White House rolled out a new website dedicated to healthcare reform that features more than 30 testimonials from people who benefited from the law.

Wow..30 folks..what a flood of support..how many people could I get who lost their full time jobs, insurance and watching their rates DOUBLE?!?! What @#$# nerve..

Nothing partisan about a great majority of Americans against this illegal bill.
