On Wednesday night, Republican Presidential nominee, Mitt Romney, said the following: "Now and then the president says I'm the grandfather of Obamacare. I don't think he meant that as a compliment, but I'll take it..."
I'm trying to make sense of this man. In so doing, I'll attempt to run down the notable healthcare-related events chronologically and see if things start to finally click upstairs for me:
1) Romney signs Romneycare as Governor of Massachusetts
2) Obamacare, which is said to be nearly identical to Romneycare, passes
3) Upon receiving his party's nomination for president, Romney says his first order of business in the Oval Office would be to repeal Obamacare in its entirety
4) Romney later states that there are portions of Obamacare he likes and wouldn't mind holding onto
5) After hearing angry conservatives yelling at him and throwing feces at his bedroom window while cursing at him in jive, he states that he'll repeal all of Obamacare
6) Not long after, he states that while he'll repeal all of Obamacare, he'll still keep in tact the couple sections he likes
7) He happily accepts being called the grandfather of Obamacare
8) He says he will repeal Obamacare as president
After reading all of this over a few times, I think I've ultimately decided that Mitt Romney's stance on healthcare reform is akin to the television show Lost. No matter how much one watches him/it, things aren't going to make any sense.
