Every time you utter it you’re selling out one more little piece of your integrity and honesty to a campaign based on nothing more than a political power struggle, and you spit on the people you pretend to serve. Even if you believe in your position sincerely, the ends don’t justify the means for this kind of political discourse.

The solution to this is to co-opt the term Obamacare, and use it in ways that are extremely positive. Be relentlessly positive about how great Obamacare is.

Wouldn’t it be great if, 50 years from now, “Obamacare” is synonymous with “the best loved government program in a century” It this makes people’s heads explode, so much the better.

Don’t look at me, man. I have a consistent platform of supporting, aiding, and abetting all revolutions that are powered by the will of the people against tyrants. Even if it’s just trying to stomp ignorance about a country’s real political structure/makeup. Sometimes I get to do more than that. Very rarely. But sometimes.  
And yeah, I think Obamacare is going to be there for the long haul.
