A new ABC/Washington Post poll shows that “50 percent of all surveyed and 52 percent of registered voters held unfavorable opinions of Romney. Thirty-four percent hold positive views on Romney, the lowest for any leading presidential contender in Post/ABC polls dating back to 1984.
“The poll also finds that Romney’s unfavorability tops Obama’s highest unfavorability rating in the poll’s history.
“Adding to Romney’s challenge in a potential general-election fight, by comparison, Obama holds a 53 percent favorability rating and a 43 percent unfavorable mark, according to the survey.”
“Racial profiling has to stop. Just because someone wears a hoodie does not make them a hoodlum.”
That was Democratic Representative Bobbie Rush of Illinois, as he took off his jacket on the House floor and revealed his hoodie. The representative then put on his sunglasses and quoted from the Bible as he was asked to leave the floor.
Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Mitt Romney unknowingly defended the individual mandate, currently before the United States Supreme Court. Jay Leno asked the Republican front-runner how he would provide healthcare for those Americans with a pre-existing condition.
“People with pre-existing conditions, as long as they have been insured before, they are going to be able to continue to have insurance,” Romney said, describing his vision for health care if the Affordable Care Act were to be struck down or repealed.
“Suppose they haven’t been insured,” Leno countered.
“If they are 45 years old and they show up and say I want insurance because I have heart disease, it’s like, ‘Hey guys. We can’t play the game like that. You’ve got to get insurance when you are well and then if you get ill, you are going to be covered,’” Romney responded.
The individual mandate mentioned in the president’s healthcare plan requires that all American purchase healthcare coverage when they’re well. Doing so, the Administration argues, will be the only way to guarantee that Americans with pre-existing conditions are not dropped by their insurance providers.
Although Mitt Romney signed the same bill into law as governor of Massachusetts, he is joined by other Republicans as they mount a valiant effort to get President Obama’s Healthcare reform overturned by the Supreme Court or repealed altogether. They’ve classified the mandate that everyone purchase healthcare when they’re well as unconstitutional.
James Carville, the Democrat strategist who worked on the Bill Clinton campaign, had a very interesting take on the current Supreme Court case involving the President’s healthcare law.
According to Carville, having the Supreme Court vote down the bill will be great for Democrats, not so good for Republicans.
“I think this will be the best thing that has ever happened to the Democratic Party,” Carville said Tuesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.”
He added: “You know, what the Democrats are going to say, and it is completely justified, ‘We tried, we did something, go see a 5-4 Supreme Court majority’.”
Carville, who gained fame working on Bill Clinton’s 1992 presidential campaign, predicted health care costs will only increase in the future, in which case Republicans will be to blame for leading the drive to expel a federal program designed to help Americans cover those costs.
“Then the Republican Party will own the healthcare system for the foreseeable future. And I really believe that. That is not spin,” Carville said.
