In the Not Too Distant Future...

After seeing Romney and Ryan fall over themselves in "fighting" to protect Medicare, can't help feeling that Republicans candidates in future elections, will be doing the very same thing with a successfully implemented Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). i.e. Pretending they never hated in the first place, and expressing their undying love for the program.

That's why the Administration has encouraged the use of that term which was once considered derisive--so the correct person gets the credit after all the provisions are in place and people start seeing the true benefits. This of course will drive the Repugs to frothing fits.
I admire the President's optimism!
