Pres. Obama signs Med Student's labcoat "Go Obamacare!"

Pres. Obama signs Med Student's labcoat "Go Obamacare!"

Found a great story on facebook today that I hadn't seen here on Daily Kos, but thought ya'll might like. When President Obama was in Iowa City yesterday, Shadee Giurgius managed to get a unique autograph. The President sign Giurgius' Lab coat with the note "Go Obamacare!"

Personally, I think it's awesome that the President has embraced the title given in derision to the Affordable Care Act. It's always a good idea to take your opponents weapons and turn them against him.

It may be a legacy and a term in use long after he's left the office in 2017.

They might have a little trouble finding a viable candidate for 2016, a candidate that has not opposed Obamacare when everyone realizes how much better it is.
