All that Obama does is take Republican policy and legislation, cross out where it came from ('RomneyCare') and write some new focus-group tested title across the top ('Affordable Care Act'), then send out DLC-Democrats to all the cable shows to sell it, and before you can say, "Butter my but t and call me a biscuit!", we're living the Republicans' wet dream.
Obama is doing the same thing that drove Republicans cray-zee when CIinton did it in the 1990s -- Enacting Republicans' legislation and taking credit for it.
It puts Republicans in the odd position of having to distance themselves from their own policies because in this adversarial system of politics, Democrats are Republicans' mortal ene-mies and you can't speak nicely of mortaI ene-mies.
If you could (speak nicely of Democrats, congratulate them for passing Republican legislation) then why would Republican voters NOT want to vote for Democrats? Democrats got the job done for Republican voters.
When it comes to Obama's healthcare legislation, the constituent that both Democrats and Republicans served were the corporations. The insurance and pharmaceutical industries. This legislation is Bush's Medicare Reform Act of 2003, Part 2. Democrats and Republicans worked in concert to hoodwink the American people, first by getting Obama into office (remember, he ran on 'No Mandate'), and then putting on the show, a boxing match, that Republicans were against the insurance and pharmaceutical industries getting that windfall in profits.
