Obama's Prediction: GOP Will Stop Calling It 'Obamacare' In 10 Years

[Capt. Obvious]

Republicans will grow to support the Affordable Care Act and stop calling it "Obamacare" in the next decade, the law's namesake predicted on Friday.

"I'm pretty sure that, you know, in 10 years they're not going to call it Obamacare anymore," President Barack Obama told a cheering crowd at Rhode Island College in Providence. "Republicans will be like, 'Ah, I was for that! Yeah!'"

....

Republicans derisively labeled the health care law "Obamacare" during the 2009-2010 debate, which initially irritated Democrats, but Obama embraced the term in 2012 during his reelection campaign.

The law has continually struggled in the polls. Republicans have maintained staunch opposition ever since it passed, voting dozens of times in Congress to repeal it. But with the coverage provisions now benefiting millions of Americans, many of them have quieted their criticism of Obamacare in the 2014 election.

I'm betting a coke that Republicans will actually try to rename it Reagancare.

2. I'm laughing my ass off because my Republican Representative sent me a piece of cardboard yesterday.

Bragging that he voted to repeal Obamacare over 50 times!!!
Unfortunately for him, I already voted last week . . . to throw his ass out of Congress!!!!!!

3. Which one?

Any chance of that happening?

4. Mike Simpson.

I think that Simpson is running in his last race.
He is running for his political life this time because his opponent is Richard Stallings, the former Representative from that district.
