Obama Turns the Tables on the GOP’s ObamaCare Slur




Today, speaking in Cannon Falls, Minnesota, President Obama said its OK with him if Republicans want to call it “ObamaCare” because he does care. He then called it “ObamaCares”, which my readers know has been my label for his healthcare reform law for years. The President pointed out that if the Republicans want to be known as those who “don’t care”, that’s fine with him. Oh dear. That’s not going to fly with the Republicans, whose school yard bully tactics and name-calling only work if the President and America buys into their frame. Obama made it cool to care. Someone has to pay now.

And who always gets it when Republicans get egg on their face? The woman; America. Take that, America! You refuse to die, and the Republicans are not going to take your insolence anymore!

Obama was talking about medical marijuana and prescription drug coverage when he mentioned his feeling on the term Obamacare,

"The costs have been going up and up and up, so part of the Affordable Care Act healthcare reform also known as Obamacare, by the way let me tell you, I have no problem with folks saying Obamacares. I do care. If the other side wants to be the folks who don’t care, that’s fine with me. But yeah, I do care about families who have been struggling due to crushing healthcare costs."

his every word on cable and AM radio 24/7 like repugs do.

7. Ha! I came up with this strategy the first day I heard the term "Obamacare"
"Care" is not a bad word, the Repubs are stupid to use it.

14. If he cared he woundn't have signed a damn thing without a public option
the current plan only shows that he cares about insurance industry profits and donations.
