A fun comment from Robert Gibbs during his final turn at the White House podium on Friday afternoon:
It will be interesting to see if, throughout the next two years, the two words 'health care' come out of his [Mitt Romney's] mouth.
Or, as Jim Geraghty of National Review tweeted:
Look, as long as Obamacare isn't a big issue in the 2012 Republican presidential primary, Romney will be fine.
Mitt Romney, of course, signed Massachusetts' health care law into effect, including an individual health care mandate which he repeatedly defended -- until it became a part of President Obama's health care reform. Now, he's going so far as to scrubbing it from his campaign book, offering voters yet another reminder why even conservatives believe Romney is the most inauthentic politician in America.
Mitt Romney's (original) position on mandates are incredibly unpopular amongst Republicans, so it's not hard to see why he is trying to stay silent on health care. But it's impossible to see how he can get away with it.
