Journalists and pundits across the media landscape proclaimed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to uphold most of the Affordable Care Act as a victory for President Barack Obama.
ABC News called it a “big win” for the Obama administration.
But ABC pointed out that most Americans don’t have a favorable view of the Obamacare legislation as was upheld by the High Court. (Americans also don’t have a favorable view of the status quo either, according to the poll).
Everything in political news going forward will likely focus on the question of which party benefits the most politically from the Supreme Court decision. Will Romney win in November now or does Obama have an even greater chance of retaining the presidency?
Within a few hours of the Supreme Court ruling, Congressional Republicans and the GOP’s presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, proclaimed they would seek to repeal Obamacare, according to Fox News.
This morning, Yahoo News Columnist Chris Moody pointed out that the GOP would have to have majorities in both houses of Congress and would have to hold the presidency.
So for today’s poll, we ask: Which party will be helped most by the Supreme Court’s Obamacare decision? Take our poll and share your thoughts in the comments.
Every single Democrat HAS to be voted out of office in November!!!
"Greg 8 minutes ago Yo Spiff, what we really need right now is to hand the power back to the Republicans. Forget about it! Have you forgotten about the terrible mess the Bush Administration left this country in 4 years ago?!?!? Vote Obama!" Totally agree.

Q: Does the new health care law impose a 3.8 percent tax on profits from selling your home? A: No, with very few exceptions. The first $250,000 in profit from the sale of a personal residence won’t be taxed, or the first $500,000 in the case of a married couple. The tax falls on relatively few — those with high incomes from other sources. Every single teatard needs to be voted out in November!!
Uh. Except the whole, you know, Obamacare thing. That seems to be SOMETHING.
Oh! How I wish Harry S. Truman was still president, R.I. P. Brother Harry. Go! Obama but, please get some starch in your backbone.
- Health premiums will go up - Government spending will increase - State Medicaid costs will soar - Taxes will go up - Employer-sponsored plans will shrink Get a grip on reality, Kath. Feel free to access the attached link below and get the details. As my friend Todd said the other night, "We're screwed; looks like we're turning into another France; might as well just drink."

Legal.
- Health care legislation imposes a 3.8% transaction tax on profits over the capital gains threshold. So, I was right about the 3.8% figure, just not exactly how it was applied. And, these are the facts Kathi. I also stand behind my earlier comments about housing as the backbone of the economy and until housing recovers our economy will continue to stagnate. You might like a sluggish economy, but I prefer a vibrant one. Feel free to access the link below and find out for yourself about the Obamacare Real Estate Transaction Tax. This is a pretty reputable website. http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/realestate.asp
And (drum roll please), the number one reason why the Obamacare decision might not be as bad as you think, - Mitt Romney now will have a much easier time defeating Barack Obama!!!
In reality, GM’s claim about paying back bailout money is misleading. Much of the $50 billion in federal assistance came in the form of equity purchases, with the government taking a 61-percent stake in the company. The cash loan totaled “only” $6.7 billion in taxpayer dollars. For taxpayers to recoup their investment, the federal government would have to sell its 365 million shares at a profit. The break-even price would be $55 a share, but GM is currently selling at $28.90. And it doesn’t look like share prices are increasing any time soon. The stock market is up since mid-November by about 8 percent. But the stock of General Motors has bucked the trend. It’s down more than 16 percent since its initial public offering on November 18, 2010. That’s the bad news—especially bad for the taxpayers, because it means we’ve lost roughly $11 billion in the government’s experiment in big business, with no real prospect that the market performance of GM will turn around anytime soon—not as long as the government is calling the shots, anyway. In summary we the tax payers are out over 40 billion and the UAW pension funds are full to the brim, please stop watching MSNBC
Kathi apparently worships at the altar of BIG government, Pelosi, Reid and Obama, so refuses to be informed of the FACTS that OBAMATAX will result in rationed and LOWER quality care! It is also funded by some 20 NEW or increased TAXES (besides the "penalty") of which, according to CBO calculations, 77 % will be born (PAID) by those earning UNDER $ 125,000! How's that for "affordable" kathi??? Yes, kathi, please stop watching MessNBC and reading 'media matters' and 'think progress' and become an informed citizen and voter, rather than a liberal drone and talking points mouthpiece.
and we as people are actually defending/supporting Mr.Obama or Mr. Romney, we deserve better.
