Very well said, and I don't see that happening.

I expect all of the jobs reports between now and Election day to continue to be anemic. You cannot pass two bloated bills with 5,000+ pages of legalese and not expect to throw a colossal wet blanket' over the economy, as Steve Wynn perfectly stated recently.

Lying to us about the availability of 'shovel-ready jobs' was a another idiotic remark.

And he'll have absolutely nothing to fall back on because he hasn't accomplished a single thing.

Exciting times, they are a'comin'.
Well, if SCOTUS upholds the law, that will only make Mitt more of a favorite since he says he will stop all obamacare regs and the vast majority of the American want him to.

Nonsense. A given state, with bipartisan support from both sides of the aisle, effecting maybe 5% of residents in that state is much different than what the dems/obama did. Take over 17% of the economy by taking over the HC system.

States have EVERY RIGHT to set up programs like this....that is exactly where it belongs...to the states.
