now because we are stopping this low comotive as former president clinton said from hitting the brick wall. why are the doctors saying they are going to leave the profession if this will be a glorious new world of healthcare under obama care. three friends of mine are getting out of independent practice. jeanine, you can chime in on this. on the tax issue it seems the republicans think they have struck gold. does mitt romney as the author of his own mandate in massachusetts does that then make it harder for him to make the argument moving forward in the de forth? i think two thoughts on that. what romney did was on a state level not a federal level so that argument doesn t even fly. secondly, i thought chief justice roberts decision was interesting. at first i was shocked and then 24 hours later to meditate on it. you know what i did, i think he called obama s bluff about what it has been.
medical devices tax. tanning tax. tanning tax not for me. for john boehner maybe not for me. if you are calling it a tax is there a federal clause issue, if you are calling it a tax, romney care was lass tax and again the exact same thing. i m not defending romney care but the democrats want to run away from the decision. who is going to be the messenger for the republican party, the guy who was the architect. he is raising it today before the blowback begins but until people realize. what blowback? it is unpopular. the blowback on the debate when barack obama or anybody else decides to talk mitt romney on this and say look this is based on did the president lie when said i will not tax the middle class? no that was not a lie. did he lie to george stephanopoulos when said it wasn t a tax. justice roberts said this was a tax. justice roberts, the president came forward and said it was not a tax.
the mandate is a tax. every single american has the right to affordable acceptable healthcare and should never be purchased with tax increases on middle class families. the obama camp is hitting back. david axelrod senior advisor to the reelection campaign said this on the today show. whether you call it a mandate or a tax what it is a a penalty on the very few americans who can afford healthcare, don t pay for are it, end up in the emergency rooms getting free care and then we all pay for it in the form of what you call it is important in an election year and coming out of a recession if it is called a tax it is going to hurt. i would suggest that you direct that question to governor romney who is the chief proponent of the very policy when was governor of massachusetts. the question, will the tax issues damage the president? juneinjoining us, radio talk sw host jeanine turn and from l.a. leslie marshall.
these difficult races these senate races where democrats either have to hold the seat or hope to pick up a seat the democrats are in a bind because someone has not done a good job in the democrat camp of branding obama care as the greatest thing since the stethooscope. i said all along this was not spelled out simply and clearly. the republicans did a better job in my opinion of giving out more misinformation about what is not really in the affordability care act than democrats did as to what is really in the affordable care act. some of the races i do not disagree have a fight for their life. the polls show on a national level when it comes to the president and mitt romney running against him in november that is not what the approximate 15% of the undecided swing voters are really, really caring about. those that support the president will continue to. is those that support mitt
