Obama - when we needed the help the most - bailed out the auto industry (and others) and the Republican party bitched and complained. Why is it okay for a Republican to do, but not okay for a Democrat?

If Romney became President and pushed for Romenycare, it would have been accepted by Republicans. But because it was a Democratic president, Republicans fought it tooth and nail. Still to this day they continue to fight it even though it's working. This is just basic common sense - take the hit and admit defeat, instead of reminding everyone that the Republicans lost that battle. Even if Republicans get what they want and bring an end to Obamacare, they will still loose because millions of people will loose their healthcare.

We need to do the right thing for the right reasons, not fight the right thing because the other party thought of it first.
