Campaign-related question: Is Obamacare *really* that great?
I ask because, it seems to me that this is pretty much President Obama's ONLY "accomplishment" that comes even close to actually being one. Yet, he keeps harping on the economy, how bad Romney would be, getting former President Clinton to say how big the mess was that even he couldn't have fixed it, and... precious little on what one would think would be his "crowing achievement" during his first term.
I'm in a swing state, so I see many ads from both sides. I see a great deal from the right warning me how much Obamacare will cost and how much of a boondoggle it will be. I see a few from the left touting and/or defending it, but not nearly as many.
If I were running, and I got something passed that I thought was a landmark piece of legislation on par with the Civil Rights Act, I'd be shouting it from the roof tops.
