“Ironically, or maybe not, the talking heads at Fox News who created the term ‘Obamacare’ as a derisive term for the Healthcare Reform Act have actually done the opposite. They defined the debate in Obama’s terms and not their own. How stupid!
“Think if you are Ford Motors and BMW decides to go to war over Ford cars having a smooth ride instead of a stiff ride the way BMW’s do and they called it ‘Fordride.’ Now what if most people really wanted a smooth ride rather than a stiff one as most want many of the features in the Healthcare Act. You don’t want to define the debate in terms of your opponent unless it’s Richard Nixon.”
Former Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell gave a pithy defense of Obamacare not long ago on Jon Stewart’s show: “It means that 31 million more Americans will get health care.”
Maybe that’s why Mitt Romney retreated on Obamacare. He says he’ll keep the good parts. I suspect most Republicans don’t concede there are any good parts. Does he know something they don’t?
