President Obama Gives Mitt Romney A Death Hug On Health Care
The guy Im running against tried this in Massachusetts and its working just fine, even though he denies it, Obama said in Ohio Friday.
It was the second time in two days Obama brought up Romneys health care law, which the White House has long claimed as a model for the Affordable Care Act. In an interview with a local Ohio station on Thursday, Obama accused Romney of flip-flopping by attacking the White House for many of the same policies he once supported.
One of the things that you learn as president is that what you say matters, and your principles matter, Obama said. And sometimes, youve got to fight for things that you believe in and you cant just switch on a dime.
...
The fact that a whole bunch of Republicans in Washington suddenly said this is a tax for six years he said it wasnt, and now he has suddenly reversed himself, Obama said Thursday. So the question becomes, are you doing that because of politics? Are you abandoning a principle that you fought for, for six years, simply because youre getting pressure for two days from Rush Limbaugh or some critics in Washington?
