Stop Obama from taking away your Obamacare?

Republican AGs defending Obamacare against Obama?

by Joan McCarter

There really isn't a more perfect example of Republican Obama derangement syndrome than this, Republican attorneys general defending Obamacare against President Obama. Yes, the only thing they hate more than this law is the president.

Idaho is now among several states challenging how President Obama decided to let consumers keep their insurance plans this year even if those plans don't meet requirements set by the 2010 health care reform law.

Idaho Attorney General Lawrence Wasden and 10 other attorneys general called the proposed rule "flatly illegal under federal constitutional and statutory law," in a letter last week (pdf) to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

So at the same time Republicans are raising hell over cancelled health insurance policies, they're raising hell over the administration's fix for cancelled insurance policies. Perfect Republican logic.

Lowest wages in the nation, highest number of kids living under the poverty line, neo- nazis, militias, and a state that spends more money incarcerating than educating their citizens.

But the trout fishings pretty great.

Romney Wishes He Could 'Turn Back The Clock'

Former GOP presidential candidate and Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney on Sunday said he wished he could go back in time when asked about Obamacare and the 2012 election.

"I don't know. I wish I could go back and turn back the clock and take another try," he said on "Fox News Sunday" when asked if he felt he would have won the 2012 election if President Obama had not told Americans that they would be all able to be able to keep their current plans under the health care law -- a claim that in many cases turned out not to be the case.

Romney added that he is trying not to focus on the past, though.

"But history is in the past, and I'm not going to worry about what could have happened. What I am worried about, is that you have a lot of people who are going to find their premiums going through the roof," he said. "They're going to find that the doctor they've had, they can't keep. They're going to find the policies they were promised they could have, they're not going to be able to keep. And the American people are going to be very, very upset about that."

we can only look forward to money being poured in from outside sources backing the GOP's poster children, and discrediting Democrats whenever and where ever they can. It's going to be a messy few years. I knew repuglicons were going after the ACA even before I received a newsletter today from Paul Ryan, they have a plan to repeal the law, even though they know it'll fail as all the other attempts to repeal have.

I received an email from an ardent foxnews viewer that always sends me RWing talking points (I like to know what they are thinking) and they are saying that if Obamacare works...people will (gee I wonder why) vote for Democrats and not Republicans!

Of course there was some garbage story attached as to why Obamacare is not fair to rich white men.

And was enacted with their votes. If anything goes wrong they will blame Obama.
