The man of a thousand political positions turns up on
“Meet the Press” to exhibit again his brilliant flexibility with truth. This
time he is not only denying for the umpteenth time that Obamacare is similar to
his Massachusetts plan but picking up on the current GOP attack line that,
contrary to the President’s promise, some people are losing their current
insurance.
His successor Deval Patrick follows to point out that
only a tiny percentage with sub-standard policies fall into this category and
will be able to get better coverage at lower cost when the technical glitches
are fixed and to say that Obama “needs to be out talking about the fundamental
good that the Affordable Care Act does for people. And this is provoking him to
do so--and I think that’s a great thing.”
But not to worry. The Mitt we knew and loved in 2012
is not concerned with such trivialities and is coolly touting the GOP crop of
candidates for 2016, pointedly omitting only Ted Cruz, who is insufficiently “What,
Me Worry?” for Romney’s taste.
The wayward mind is prompted to wonder how a
President Mitt would be faring now with the Tea Party diehards in Congress.
After discovering he couldn’t “repeal Obamacare on Day One,” as he promised in
the campaign, how would he be handling such as Cruz in a Congress that doesn’t
bend with the political winds as easily as he does.
Failing to find a thousand-and-first face to satisfy
them, would President Romney be facing their impeachment calls for being too
Alfred E?
Thank you for saying exactly what I was thinking when Meet The Press made the mistake of hosting Mitt Romney to comment on "the lies" of the ACA. Seriously? When did he ever have a position on any issue that wasn't designed for whichever way the political winds were blowing?
