Romney Slams President Obama's Health Care Law

I agree with Romney a some of this. obamacare is bad, horrible policy. It's bad for America and American families. And I agree obama will be a one term president.

I don't agree that he will be a one term president strictly because of obamacare though. The list of reasons for obama serving a single term is a long one. Sure, obamacare is on that list, but it's not the whole list. Every single thing on obamas radical agenda is on the list. The messed up economy, the refusal to allow drilling on American soil and in American waters. Bowing to foreign dictators and despots. Skyhigh unemployment. Very poor foreign policy. Refusing to support our allies. Dude, I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Add your favorite reason in the comments if you want...

BARTLETT, N.H. -- Call it an attempt to address an obvious political vulnerability.

Republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney on Saturday derided President Barack Obama's health care law -- modeled in some ways after one the ex-governor signed in Massachusetts -- as a misguided and egregious effort to seize more power for Washington.

"Obamacare is bad law, bad policy, and it is bad for America's families," Romney declared. "And that's the reason why President Obama will be a one-term president." He vowed to repeal it if he were ever in a position to do so, and drew hearty cheers from his Republican Party audience.

Then, raising the Massachusetts law, Romney argued that the solution for the unique problems of one state isn't the right prescription for the nation as a whole, and he acknowledged: "Our experiment wasn't perfect -- some things worked, some didn't, and some things I'd change."

"One thing I would never do is to usurp the constitutional power of states with a one-size-fits-all federal takeover," Romney said, again earning applause. "The federal government isn't the answer for running health care any more than it's the answer for running Amtrak or the post office."
