Commentary: Obamacare hurting president's 2nd term
[font color=green]Note: Mark Thiessen was a speechwriter for President George W. Bush. This column was first published in The Washington Post. I do not agree with most of his comments; however, I am posting this commentary since certain points may be spewed by a right-winger near you.[/font]

President Barack Obama has all but conceded his lame-duck status. His State of the Union address was bereft of big ideas. And his declaration that he will use his “pen and a phone” to issue a raft of executive orders is an admission of political impotence — a presidency reduced to small-ball initiatives like creating “myRA” savings accounts and raising the minimum wage for federal contractors.
The one exception — his one last shot at a major legislative achievement — was comprehensive immigration reform. But that isn’t happening either.
And the reason can be summed up in one word: Obamacare.

For the next quarter-century, any time a liberal politician proposes a big-government program, all conservatives will have to say to discredit it is: “It’s just another Obamacare.”
That, in the end, will be this president’s lasting achievement — what Obama will ultimately be remembered for long after his presidency is over.
