Quote: President Barack Obama tops the list of the worst presidents since World War Two, according to a new national poll.

Quote:And the survey, released Wednesday by Quinnipiac University, also indicates that a plurality of voters nationwide say in hindsight that the country would be better off if Mitt Romney had won the 2012 presidential election.

My neighbor Stan was a better choice, and he thinks professional wrestling is for real.

Well at least it would have been Romneycare (he did invent it afterall) and there would have been far less rancor about it.

(no he didn't)

No, he didn't invent it. He compromised with a democrat-controlled legislature to pass it. There's at least an implication there that had Obama and the democrats compromised with republicans in congress, we would have gotten something closer to Romneycare than Obamacare.

And they are different. They are not the same, despite claims from the left that they are. If you want to argue that they are the same, you can start by pointing out where the IPAB, HCC, and CCO are in Romneycare. If you can't do that, then you are simply lying if you claim they are the same. And Romneycare is fairly far removed from the Heritage proposal or any other republican ideas. There are some common words--mandate, exchange--but the same words don't have the same meanings in the different contexts.

Romneycare has not been a huge success. Many have called it a failure. And the differences between Romneycare and Obamacare aren't on the side of making Obamacare better.

The entire concept of the federalist system is that the states are the laboratories of democracy. Romneycare was a way to experiment with an approach for the health insurance market. As has happened, Romneycare has not been the huge success the pinheads suggest and many would call it a failure.

And it will always be Obamacare.

What a racist and bigoted thread!

In hindsight, John Kerry was a better choice. Meh

John Kerry is just Teresa's punk.

Than Hillary for Secretary of State? Maybe, but it seems like a wash at this point. Both were/are ineffective. Putin is having his way right now.

I still have no regrets voting for Gary Johnson.

Agreed, although the way the world looks right now, its just a matter time before someone of importance gets killed due to another awful youtube video.

Careful. There's a poster here who says that makes you a liberal.

Romney was the most qualified candidate since....John Adams.

Picking Hillary was a political move. With her in his administration she'd be less prone to criticizing him or even making a primary run in 2012. She can hardly bust Obama's balls now that she's worked for him, can she?

But if she's going to run for president in 2016 then someone needs to ask her RIGHT NOW if she supports Obamacare or not. Lock her ass into a position and see if she sides with Obama - which would lose her the election - or if she changes course, which would embarrass Obama.

Ask her, please, please, please, ask her.

I thought that this thread was talking about better presidential choices.

She has already said that she supports it but would make major changes. #hillarycare

This fight ain't going away, she is going to take it and reform it.

Obama has reformed it over 40 times and it still sucks.
