Obama Signals Repeal Of ObamaCare, Says He'll Campaign Against The Supreme Court

Ah, yes...it begins.

Barack Obama suggested that any decision by the US Supreme Court to overturn his landmark healthcare law would send the country “backwards” and that Americans did not want to “re-fight” the battle over healthcare.

It was the first sign that beyond the White House’s staunch defence of the Affordable Care Act Mr Obama is prepared to use the law as a rallying cry on the campaign trail. It is a risky strategy: about half the country remains opposed to the legislation, although most voters like the consumer protections that are guaranteed under the law.

...

In his comments, Mr Obama did not make any explicit references to the court, although he has said in the past that it would be “unprecedented” for the ACA to be overturned.

“The American people fight for what’s right. And the American people understand that we’re not going to make progress by going backwards. We need to go forward,” he said.

Now, the actual decision was made probably a month ago, so the president is not warning and threatening the Court as he did before. No, he's opening up a new campaign theme.

Which may mean that he's already been tipped off on how the Court is going to rule.

If he has, I suspect a roly poly little rat named Kagan.
